This is a follow up to If Your Home is not Staged to Sell, then it Won't Sell. Below is a report that my home stager sent me after staging a listing of mine at 1306 Bryan Ave. Unfortunately the house sold in one day so I do not have before and after photos.

Hello,

I worked with [the sellers] this morning; they were very agreeable and
involved in the staging plan.  Below is a summary of the items we covered:

Exterior
- Will keep a diligent eye on snow and ice build up on the driveway and
walkways

Entry
- Will get a new, more neutral rug
- Will look into a product at the hardware store to recolor the grout in the
tile entry
- Will use Mr. Clean erasers on scuffs on walls
- Will clean cobwebs around corners on tall walls

Living Room
- Will repaint the main wall a neutral color (color selected and name left
with the sellers)
- Will repaint the ceiling (lots of dinginess and areas where the wall paint
was accidentally painted on the ceiling)
- Will remove some of the collectible items
- Will remove selected items from selected walls

Kitchen
- Will take dog and dog dishes away for showings
- Will remove bulletin board, etc hanging on cupboard wall
- Will remove shelf from wall

Coat Closet
- Will remove a few items

Office - looked good as is

Bedroom #1
- Will relocate bed so head is against North wall
- Will add fitted sheet or dust ruffle to bed

Bedroom #2
- Will remove items from closet floor

Bathroom
- Will replace shelf on wall with towel bar
- Will replace missing towel bar on shower wall
- Will stow trashcan under sink
- Will repaint ceiling a bright white
- Will repaint walls the same neutral selected for the living room
- Will replace light bulbs with high wattage clear bulbs to maximize light

Master
- Will look into adding doors to electrical closet and smaller closet niche;
either accordions or bifolds, whichever is easiest to install and find the
right sizes
- Will either move dresser or sofa into alcove and keep the doorway to the
electrical closet accessible

Garage
- Will straighten and clean as the moving progresses
- Will move dog kennel to less conspicuous area

I gave them some direction as to what type of paint to use and that they can
use my 25% off discount by using the Ross Designs account at Sherwin
Williams.  They were eager to get started and will hopefully be able to get
the bulk of the work done this weekend.

Let me know if you have questions and good luck with this listing!
