Beautiful Cambridge Home Staged to Perfection!

By
Home Stager with Beyond the Stage Homes

Last year, we were called in by a savvy home owner to do a consult on her home before she put it up for sale. The home itself was impressive from the start and we knew with some simple changes, fresh paint and staging that house couldn't fail to wow buyers!

Today we staged the home and we are thrilled with the results! 

Living Room - Before & After Shots - In the bottom shot I do apologize for the fact that my camera did not capture the beautiful seafoam hue of the chairs and the corresponding hues pulled out in the pillows. The lamp as well has a seafoam shade with a gorgeous polished silver base. Yummy!

Living Room - Before & After Shots - We recommended that our client find a light fixture to further define the dining area and she found one (can you believe it was only $35?). We removed four of the eight chairs, added artwork and complimentary table centerpiece/runner combo to draw the colours through the connecting spaces.

Family Room - Before & After Shots - This is a fabulous room with soaring ceilings, wonderfully tall windows which we wanted to highlight. This space was also connected to the living room/dining room area so again we chose to pull the same accent colours through the space. We had our client take off the window coverings and we used their furniture, adding end tables/lamps and accessories to make the most of this impressive space.

Master Bedroom - Before & After Shots - Our client took their sleigh bed out of storage at our recommendation and we utilized a rich gold/chocolate brown theme throughout the room. By adding matching lamps, accessories and art the space comes together beautifully.

2nd Bedroom - Before & After - We actually took the bed in this room and used it in the empty third bedroom. We utilized a double bed in this space and dressed it with contemporary bedding and art. 

Third Bedroom - Before & After - We love how this bedroom turned out and we even managed to use our favourite (and suddenly trendy) colour turquoise!

This was a huge project and both Alana and I agreed that this was one of the first times where we took home less than 10% of all the accessories/art we brought with us. We always bring extra possibilities because even with the best of planning the design plan does not come out as expected. Our clients are thrilled with the transformation and were overheard saying that now they didn't want to move! That is one of the best compliments we can think of!

Heather, what a difference adding the right accessories can make.  The master bedroom is now warm and cozy with the touches you added.

Nice job incorporating the furnishings that were already there.  That is the best compliment that we can receive.  Good luck on a quick sale.

What you didn't use the stuffed horse??  Always surprises me when I find those in an "adults" bedroom.  The pictures are terrific examples of what a staging is all about.....THANKS for the post!

Thanks everyone for all your comments! The master bedroom is really warm with the rich colours we used and although you can't see it in the picture, we took the brown/gold and made lovely centerpieces with textured candles, gold plates, brown sand and textured potpourri to add interest in the other different areas. We did not use the stuffed horse (lol) although I'm sure when we do the design plan for our client's new home we will have to incorporate it!

Our clients are listing this home privately so we really hope they get the response they want!

Gorgeous!  Love the warm brown tones.  The addition of the electric fireplace was an excellent idea.
