home stager st paul mn: The Top 3 Staging Items to Purchase - Home Staging Minneapolis
- 06/11/18 06:45 PM
Most people associate Home Staging with the dreaded 'D' word. Declutter! They think that a Home Stager will come in and tell them what they need to take out and remove. That is part of it but most of my home staging consultations also include tips for the homeowner of items to purchase to make the home shine a little brighter. There are three top items I seem to always be recommending. These three things are not updates to the house or upgrades. They are items that you can take with you when the home sells. 1. New Towels New towels are the best … (13 comments)
home stager st paul mn: How Do You Feel About a Little Bling?
- 04/05/18 07:58 AM
Most of the clients that I have worked with have heard that question from me. Many get a puzzled look on their face and some get downright scared. Especially the men! I usually throw out that question when I am talking to them about their lighting. Lighting is a key factor whether you are staging your home for sale or updating it for enjoyment. Lighting will always give a room lighting; but I think it should also give a room character! Lighting should make a statement and leave an impression.This couldn't be more important than when you are selling your home. Have the … (11 comments)
home stager st paul mn: But Those Valances Were Expensive!
- 03/24/18 07:45 AM
I get that response many times when I recommend to clients that they take down the valances above windows when they are preparing to put their home up for sale. I understand they may have been expensive but many times that was 20-30 years ago so you have gotten your money's worth. Even if they were purchased more recently you can take them with you to your new home or leave them folded in a closet for the homeowner if they want to use them The reason I make this recommendation is: 1) Valances cut the ceiling height down. It chops the room off visually … (44 comments)
A themed house is one that fits a very specific decorating motif. Such as a beach theme, or a desert theme. Is it okay to have one? Absolutely! Unless you are selling your home. Then I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but if you are selling, the theme has got to go. A themed house, or even a themed room can turn off any buyer that does not like that theme. They may not like the feel of the house, or they can't see past the theme to see the … (8 comments)
I saw this chair in a house that was going to be remodeled; I was hired to do all the design selections and then stage it. When I saw the chair I knew it was a classic, well made and had been a stunner in it's day.
Who had owned it? What stories had it heard?
The house had basically been abandoned after a death and estate issue. I asked the investor if I could have the chair and he said "sure." I called my upholsterer, had him … (7 comments)

home stager st paul mn: New Year. New Face? Home Staging Minneapolis MN
- 01/17/16 09:42 PM
It's time for a fresh start right? How about a new face on those kitchen cabinets? No plastic surgery needed! I always get asked if it is a good idea to Re-Face cabinets and of course the answer is "it depends". If you are selling your home soon than "No." Painting them may be your best option. If you have a high end home than yes you may need to Re-Face. If you are not selling your home within the next couple years then you probably do want to Re-Face your cabinets if they are outdated. When you go to sell your … (14 comments)

In this series I have been showing rooms in one home and explaining the suggestions I made in each room. Part 1 was the Family Room, Part 2 was the Living Room, and Part 3 now looks at the Dining Room. The suggestions for this room were simple. Simplify and Paint! The room had too much going on with the table and chairs, chairs in the corners, a huge hutch, a busy rug, and art work that was too small for the walls and … (28 comments)
