Challenging & Rewarding: An Occupied Living Room

By
Home Stager with The Staging Fashionista

As promised I'm posting more pics of the occupied home we staged in Fairfax Station, VA.  This home is on 5 acres and has a horse barn on the lot.  It is a beautiful!  Owned by a lovely elderly couple who are moving to an assisted living condo, this home was just too much for them to take care of anymore.  Here is there living room transformation!   See what a difference a day makes!  Stay tuned for more pics from this fabulous property.

Mannie,

You made some definite improvements, although it's hard to see all the changes in the first set of photos because the before photo is so dark. But the "after" looks great -- love that chair, rug and the tree! And good idea to get rid of that messy slipcover as well.

Hi Amy - yes the before pic came out really dark but adding the rug, taking off the slipcover and moving the chair in and switching some accessories is what made this room warm, inviting & cozy.

Hey Donna - thanx so much!  You have been a busy lady!

These are great examples, Mannie. And I'm with Sharon - the changes make it "ready" for a younger buyer.

Hi Kristine - thank you so much - it definitely felt more cozy and serene after we added the rug, removed the slip cover and added some different accessories.

Mannie:

Thank you for doing your usual excellent job staging my listing !!

The owner and their grown children loved the home.  The owner is inviting all the neighbors over telling them the home has never looked this good before !!

Great job !
