C.L. Design Servuces Home Staging recommended interior painting before we staged this home last week.

This family reaped A Lot of Bang For Their Bucks!!

The beautiful arched ceiling is now highlighted,

the fireplace no longer looks dated,

the wood floors are enhanced,

the entire home looks warm and charming!!

Amazing how paint and professional staging can transform a space!!

Hi Cathy, What an incredible transformation. Your furniture, your colors, the layout, WOW! That was a lot of work - but the results outstanding! I wish it were my house.

Howdy from Houston!

Very clever matching the form of the vase on the DR table to the artwork!

I particularly love it, when someone comments: "Just a few simple changes..." (I hear it all the time).

Simple? Really? Well, maybe not as simple as they think... <G>!

Yet, another beautiful job, that I hope to emulate here in Houston!

What a great transformation. You just can't imagine anyone wanting to buy it in the before pictures, but the after pictures are so much more inviting. Congrats on the pending sale!

Hi Cathy,

Fantastic transformation! Paint really can make such a huge impact and is an easy way to update a home with such a small investment! Painting is definitely my favorite way to instantly change the way a room feels. Your staging really made the difference here as well...I love how you lightened the way the Living Room feels by bringing in furniture with lighter colored fabrics...LOVE IT!
