Romancing a Space to Add Function: Home Staging in Connecticut
Nestings Home Staging recently Staged a lovely home in the Greenfield Hill section of Fairfield, Connecticut. This particular project called for using the Seller's furnishings. Fortunately, we had many beautiful things to work with. So we edited, rearranged, and moved some pieces to different rooms.
There's a small room off the original master bedroom. Given the age of the house, it was probably intended as a dressing or sewing room (as in "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House"). It housed a crib and a small bookshelf filled with books and toys for visiting grandchildren. It was cramped.
To sell the house, the space needed another function - and one that was not only practical but would visually romance the target buyer.
Using a table and chair from other rooms, we created this:
Who doesn't dream of having a gift-wrapping room (like Candy Spelling's)? This fanciful scenario also suggests that a vanity or desk would work equally as well in this former sewing room.
Blog Post Bonus: A quick make-over for this chair:
Circa 1940s side chair with maroon needlepoint seat.
Cover the seat with a colorful coffee table book! What's better than Lily Pulitzer?
