One of the things i enjoy most about home staging here in Fort Worth is having the opportunity to transform a home that had previously been un-loved and just about un-inhabitable into a gorgeous fresh new space for someone to love and come home to. It's really gratifying to see how a house can be made new again. These older neighborhoods on the west side of Fort Worth, this one is called Ridgmar, have great homes that are gradually being turned over from one generation to the next!
So... here's the befores. This home needed everything. I mean everything. From top to bottom inside and out. Hampton Redesign works with an investor who buys these distressed properties to renovate and flip. I come up with a master plan, floorplan, kitchen, bathrooms, finishes, cabinets, granite, colors, floors and overall look and feel. In this case I recommended knocking out the wall between the kitchen and great room as well as opening up the galley kitchen wall to the living area.
Thisi s looking into the old kitchen with the living area on the left.
Here is what it looks like now. The wall on the left is gone and the ktichen is open to the living.
Here's another angle looking in the other direction. Before!
After. On the left side was sliding doors and these were replaced with French doors.
One more shot before of the living area. TThis is looking from the dining area to the front door and the walls on the right are now gone.
After it's an open living space.
I decided to keep the floors all wood to create a seamless flow between the different living areas.
I really enjoy working on these types of projects - and of course once all the construction is done I get to put the icing on the cake. Staging it!
