Is this My Dining Room?

By
Home Stager with The Staging Fashionista

We recently staged a single family home in Ashburn, VA.  The home was lovely but just needed some help to make it more buyer friendly.  One of the rooms we staged was their dining room that was dark and dreary and we turned it into bright and dreamy.  We certainly were proud of this dining room transformation and the seller couldn't believe that this was their dining room!

Its amazing what a little staging can do to a house.  Almost a must on a lot of listings.

Hi Sonja - yes just eliminating the valance and opening up the curtains made a huge difference!  Thanx for stopping by.

Hi Catherine - it's almost like a big weight was lifted off this dining room afterwards!  LOL

Hi Chuck - couldn't agree with you more.  Thank you for taking the time to comment.

How smart to remove that small rug - the floor space looks much larger!  Julie

Hi Julie - I know just moving the rug and opening the curtains made a huge difference.  The sellers were shocked on how spacious it was once everything was taken out.

Hi Debra - the online pics are fabulous but I wish they would hire a realtor they are doing a FSBO!

Mannie--such a great example of what a knowledgeable home stager can do.  Now you appreciate the details in the ceilings and walls.  Nice work.
