Connie: What a great use of space you have shown here. Yes... "open" floor plans can present a challenge if you don't know what to do with them. Great job!

By the way... what a great profile picture. I can't remember seeing eyes that pretty since a Judy Collins album cover about forty years ago. Cool !

Connie - Bold and beautiful - those are the first words that came to mind when looking at the "after" photos. Love the zones you've created. Now one big space is broken up into several different useful areas. Love it!

Connie- your staging was perfect in showing a buyer how their furniture might work in the open space... and that's the hard part isn't it... when you have so much openess without the "defined" areas laid out for you.

Great post as you are so right. Buyers love open floor plans. However, they can be so difficult for the buyer to arrange. Your staging not only added warmth, it provided them with a solution on how to utilize the space.

Congratulations. Your home staging is being featured in the group Staging Before and After Pictures.

Thank you, Everyone, for commenting. One thing I didn't explain regarding this "open" floorplan was also the traffic patterns that needed to be kept "open" as well. In the first pictures; I am standing at the front door. Next to the sofa (not pictured) is a fireplace.... If you hadn't noticed, we also added a counter top table table as an "island" to the ballroom size kitchen.

Kathy ~ Thank you! I'm honored!

HI Connie, I looooove that sofa and the accent cushions. You really created a look that is magazine worthy with this job. Truly remarkable work.
