Daddy, where did the mess go??

By
Home Stager with CL Design Services Home Staging

Two year old Zack came home and asked his Daddy, Where did the mess go?

C.L. Design Services Home Staging just completed a fun project and now this home is for sale and move in ready!

Our design plans included:

    Decluttering, increasing the value of the home

    Better scale and proportion by rearranging and adding smaller pieces, making each room more pleasing

    Adding punch with artwork, pillows and rugs

    Changing bedding to give a variety of elements and textures

    Keeping it clean and fresh by detailing the home

The results were remarkable!

It is amazing how things keep piling up through the day with kids. Then, we get to start all over the next day.

If the truth be told, it usually comes from a child! Nice job of rearranging furniture from room to room and giving the home style!

Great transformation Cathy!  Your after shots are so much more relaxing and enjoyable to view.  I certainly notice the home more rather than the belongings.

Nice job as always Cathy, that fireplace looks so pretty now and the room looks bigger too.

Very nice Cathy, don't you love what kids will say. This year I went back for a follow up on a consult and as I was saying how much I loved the space...their young son said "we don't"! They are too funny!

Hi Harry-Out of the mouth of babes!  :)

Yes Valerie, this was a mild mess compared to some!

Thanks Julia-red is one of my favorite colors.

Hi Shelley-the garage is full too! :)

Hi Michelle-good! we are selling the home, not the belongings!!!

Hi Ana! Thanks-the rooms needed inflation-its really small.

Hi Donna-too funny!!

Hi Cathy - The after shots are great!  I hope the family can keep the house looking like this until it is sold.  Zack's comment is precious!  My son, who is now 14, asked me several years ago, "When are we going to stage our house?"  Meaning, I spend the day making houses look great and come home to a somewhat messy, lived-in looking home!  Should I tell him, "When the mess makers, you and your sister, move out!"

Cathy - super job! It should be quite a challenge for them to keep it in Staged condition by the looks of the befores LOL.

HI Diana-you should see my home today after just getting back from the conference and staging-destaging-it is soooooo messy!!  My bags are still unpacked.

Hello Janice. We have lots of hidden storage or toys. This is the nicest family, transferred to Dallas. Repeat client too! They are always the best and easiest to work with.

Love the questions from children - this is precious.  What a great job - the house had great pieces to work with, but you put the cherry on top!  Love it!
