Staging 101.......I just graduated from staging school
Today was graduation day........I graduated with the class of Thursday-Friday, March 2-3 staging school.
My diploma says I'm now qualified to "consult real estate clients and make recommendations in preparing the property for sale."
Great class taught by master stager Jackie Riggins, a former trainer for the First Lady of staging, Barb Schwarz.
The best and most fun part of the class was an actual, hands on staging of a real home that's currently on the market in our area.
Here are the before and after pictures of the 2 rooms my group did; we had the living room and the dining room.
The living room had too many pieces and too much personal stuff on the bookcases flanking the fireplace.
On the right is after we move lamps and two end tables out and depersonalized the shelving. It really opened up the room and improved traffic flow to all areas of the main level.
Below are the before and after pictures of the dining room. Nice room but way too small for a large dining table, 6 chairs, a china cabinet and some pieces in the corner along with an area rug in the center.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
On the right is the same dining room with the rug removed, ... more
