UPDATE on We're photo staging again!

By
Home Stager with Ready 2 Stage

Ready 2 Stage Home Staging & Redesign recently staged this house in Cleveland, Tennessee listed by Kathy Rohsenberger of Coldwell Banker Hamilton Associates.

Whew!  Today was quite a ride....first of all, it is extremely cold in Tennessee right now!  I began the morning having to get a boost from the hubby for the "Ready 2 Stage Mobile."  My battery was dead as a hammer! Being a little nervous about the battery going dead again during our staging time, I left my vehicle running for a while....just to make sure.  We arrived at 10:30 a.m. and began our work.  With assistance from the Home Seller and Realtor we jumped right in with both feet.  

I always try to make a plan by looking at our before pictures, but it just seems that things always have to be tweaked a little.  We began in the Dining Area.BeforeAfter

 

After that we moved to the cute little kitchen.  I love cobalt blue glass, so I contributed some of my personal collection to enhance the home sellers pieces.Before Cannot get these pics to line up for some reason!

Next came the Master Bedroom.  There were actually too many furniture pieces

Last, but definitely not least came the Living Room.  Quite a challenge!  One corner was consumed by a massive bookshelf unit that the home seller was leaving for the buyer.  This shelf had more books than some libraries!  After instructing them to remove at least 3/4 of them, we rearranged a bit and added accessories to give it the best look possible.  The room was somewhat dark and difficult to photograph.  Really should have been painted--not an option.

We are hoping that this staging is as successful as the last: 

Cookie Cutter House--Staged for a quick sale!

Michael--I think that we did uncover a few things that the seller had forgotten about.  At the consultation every shelf was filled with books--quite overwhelming.  Thanks for your comment!

Great job.  Too bad paint wasn't an option for the living room, but that's the way the staging goes sometimes!  I love the bed in the corner, it really opened up the room and gave it some style!

Sharon--The living room was terribly dark, but they had just recently painted it and weren't going to do it again.  It was hard to get a decent shot in there.  The green bedroom turned out to be my favorite--looks really serene and calm in there.  Thanks for your comments.
