Thanks Terry and Juliet. I loved the way it turned out too. Some rooms just go together easier I think!

The bedroom went from "ow"... to "oooooooooh". It's a work of art - fresh and upscale. Thanks for sharing what you obviously love to do, Nicola.

Wow!  What an awesome job!  I especially love the transformation in the bedroom.  This is a great example of what a professional home stager can do for an occupied home.

Congratulations, Nicola.  Your post is being featured in the group Staging "Before" & "After" Pictures.

Thanks for sharing.

Nicola - great job on the bedroom. Are you using sheets on top of the bed? or are they comforters? This is a fun job!

Kathleen L, I love that twin look too. Client was so happy with it too. Thanks too.

Kathleen  G, Thanks on the bedroom too,*s*

Thank you Kathy, I am blown away really, who knew huh? 

 Crystal, my good friend, they are going to think I paid you. Thanks and hugs! 

 

Did anyone pick up on the art over the sofa in the before being the same as the art over the twin beds? It is beautiful hand stitched  work from Korea. Had to use it again!! I split up the four and used the larger two in the Master Bedroom.

What a challenge to work with such outdated furniture!!! It must be at least 15 years old. WOW. You did a fantastic job with the bedding selection. Very luxury hotel-like. The lamp shades are a good update too when you are stuck with brass. I also noticed that the new artwork is hung at the right height. Before it was way too high!!! Great work.

Nicola - really, really nice transformation.  What struck me in the befores was the picture and plant arrangement over the sofa - I thought it looked weird.  Your talent stands out in what you have accomplished with outdated furniture and accessories.   I think I prefer to work with a client's furniture and accessories as it presents more of a challenge.  Vacants present their own challenges however transforming existing properties into showpieces takes real talent.  Congratulations

Julia- Thanks, that bedroom certainly stood out ! I loved to end result.

Sandra- Smiles, that bedroom is awesome. I have two more to take pictures of soon too.

Cheryl-Anne- I enjoy working with what the client has, it is a harder job as they aslo can't aslways go buy all new things. So we make the best of it for them. Its makes you creative!!

 Julie- My prize bedroom, I am entering a contestwith that room. Let's hope the judges like it as much.

Thanks to everyone for all the positive comments. I appreciate it from my AR friends!

Nicola - I agree - working with what the client has is so much more challenging and gets our creativity flowing.  In the end I find that it is much more rewarding as well, especially when you see the surprise in the clients' eyes and their overwhelming expressions of appreciation for the end result.
