Nobody Puts Baby In the Corner....well except for me. Home Staging MN

By
Home Stager with Rooms With Style

Nobody Puts Baby In the Corner....well except for me. Home Staging Minneapolis MN.

Patrick Swayze said "No one Puts Baby in the Corner" in his famous 'Dirty Dancing' movie and I have always believed that but hey.....sometimes Baby just needs to be put in the corner.

Well fine....technically she isn't a Baby. She is Full Sized but she is still my Baby to deal with.

When the owners moved out of their stunning St. Paul home they chose to leave the Grand Piano until a later date. They kept her straight inside the doorway to the Living Room which wasn't the best place for Baby for Staging purposes.

Baby was cutting off the living area.....

Baby was hiding the beautiful architectural detailing of the columns......

Baby was hiding the stunning views.......

Baby had to go to the corner........sorry Patrick.

 

Now the living area flows better......

Check out the architectural detail that Baby was hiding!!

Now that's a stunning room Baby.....

See Baby, there are now chairs for people to gather to enjoy your sound while sipping a glass of wine.

Sorry Baby but the corner is where you need to be for now.

And for what it's worth...I THINK YOU ARE STUNNING BACK THERE!!

Brilliant, Shar - absolutely brilliant!  Whenever I ask to have a piano moved, I make sure the floor joists can handle the weight.

Shar, LOVE IT!!!!! What a huge room and yet baby in the corner? I agree, I have a baby in the corner too. Baby plays well in the corner and everyone definately knows shes there without her taking over!

Thank you Gretchen. It helps when you have great bones in a house to start with.

Yes it was sort of an elephant in the middle of the room Janice! LOL

Thanks Diana. It was a HUGE room and it was a little tricky to make intimate smaller spaces.

Oh great way to put it Ellen! Everyone knows she is there but she doesn't take over....perfect!

Shar the Baby looks perfect in that corner. Grand Pianos are usually a huge space eaters even if they are Baby Grand Pianos but they make a perfect serving table for parties LOL

Thank you Debbie, the 'Dirty Dancing' thing just sort of popped into my head! Ha

Baby got shoved Valerie! I had the home owner do it though, I wasn't going to touch it!

Isn't the home beautiful Kim? Yes, those chairs helped settle Baby into the corner. LOL

Thank you so much Joan!

Ha...they probably do Anna. As long as they are covered well!
