7 Comments on A Closet Shopper
I'm sure that most home that require staging have enough 'stuff' in them to stage. They need to be slimmed down and placed in the right spots for the potential buyer.
Great Post
Kristina-I have been in the best of attics and garages foraging for accessories. Amazing what you can find to work with when you search. Excellent post!!
"Necessity is the mother of invention." We have to turn on our creativity when we can't just go out and buy more stuff. There are enough things available in the average home that we don't have to go investing in new things. Nice post!
Kristina - great post! I recently staged a home that although decorated very nicely, had almost no artwork hanging in it. The home owner had a very tight staging budget, and when I mentioned the "no artwork problem" to her, I thought perhaps we might have run into an issue. She told me to follow her to the spare bedroom. She threw open the closet doors and inside was rows of lovely paintings on the floor. She said she hadn't been sure where to hang it all when she moved in five years prior, so she had just not hung any. It's amazing what you can find in closets sometimes!
Hi Kristina - Love this post because I can truly relate. Just this morning I was cleaning and re-organizing my own closet when I notice something caramel colored made of terry cloth rolled in the slot of a hanging shoe bag. I use those, not for shoes, but to organize handbags and other fashion accessories. Can't remember when I purchased them, and they are very pretty(tags still on them), but I forgot all about them. Well, it so happens that I am doing a brown and caramel colored vignette for a bathroom next week and I didn't have towels to coordinate - so I thought!
Great post!
I have dealt with the treasures tucked away when re-designing homes - artwork in the cupboard, lovely linens and decorative pieces stashed away. I love digging thru and coming up with gems they put away and forgot about.
Hi Kristina,
This is where your re-design skill really pays off! It's also something that can't be taught. You just have it.
