Foyer Goes From Country to Classic

By
Home Stager with Great Impressions Home Staging/Interiors

This foyer in a Colonial Home in Bergen County, NJ was stuck in the 90s with its bright yellow sponge-painted walls and brass ceiling light. Isn't is amazing what a coat of paint in a color that coordinates much better with the black diamond tiles, a new light fixture, and some de-cluttering can do? Now this entrance foyer is sophisticated and creates a calm feeling.

Presentation and price are critical to selling houses quickly. You and your agent figure out the best price; I make your home stand out from the competition to appeal to the most buyers, whether they are first-time buyers, move-up buyers, or down-sizing buyers. As an accredited, experienced staging professional, I know how to make your home grab buyers' attention -- on the MLS and in person. A beautifully presented house makes a great impression, stands out from the competition, and generates offers faster than a non-staged house!

Marianne, Julia, Kathy -- Thanks! I didn't like the color of that sponge painting at all (and it was so outdated besides).

Amy - the new paint color, light fixture and sleek staging of the foyer transformed it from drab and dated to chic!  Love the changes!

Amy, the first impressions of that house wouldn't have been too great as it was, but you certainly helped changed that.  Great job!

Do you also do design work? As my house comes together I am sure we will need some advice on colors and fixtures.  If you know a good painter let me know too.

Thanks

Hi Amy--what a great transformation.  The "before" look would have sent most buyers packing.  Not a great first impression.  You have made it so welcoming.  Can't wait to see the rest of the house.

This foyer is a nice welcome invitation now.  The old was something to turn around and walk back out.  Good job on making the important changes.

Maureen, Ginger, Maria, Michelle -- I was away for a week on vacation, so I apologize for responding late to your nice comments. Thanks! 

Kathy, THANK YOU so much for the feature! I'm not even sure how that works, but I take it you recommended my post? 

Josef -- YES, I do interior styling/design work, too! Sorry I didn't respond sooner, we were away for the last week on vacation. I will happily recommend a couple of painters to you via back-channel, OK?
