What's New in My Staging Kit?

 

OK, I know it's been a while-I've been very busy!-but here's what's new in my Staging Kit that will absolutely put money in your pocket.

According to the just-released National Association of Realtors 2013 Profile of Buyer's Home Feature Preferences, garages are HUGE draws to Home Buyers, a full 78 % purchasing a home with one last year. And according to The Refreshed Home, buyers want their new house to fulfill their dreams, as well as their needs.

At first glance, you might not think of the lowly garage as the embodiment of a dream, but for many it's the launching pad of other dreams: a place to store the bikes, the yard and garden equipment, outdoor furniture, and can't forget the ubiquitous work bench!!

Successful Home Staging attracts and engages buyers in a way they are not expecting. A well-lit, cleared-out and organized space is most always a standout...fresh paint on the walls and ceiling take it another step further, but if you want to draw buyers in, paint the floor.

Oil-resistant plain steel grey is the expected, but for WOW, use California Paint's Tuf-On. It's a waterborne epoxy gloss enamel, and in a separate bag-like confetti-are flakes of color. About 4 different color combinations, all you do is you paint a section, sprinkle, paint another section, and sprinkle.

Completable in an afternoon, walkable in 24 hours, fully cured and driveable in a few days, it is such an easy, and inexpensive way to add value.

It's a fresh, and well-maintained look, but it's also QUITE forgiving if the floor is a little rough, or permanently discolored. Abrasion, chemical and solvent-resistant-as well as VERY low maintainence, it'll elevate and add value to your space whether you're selling OR staying!

Our spaces affect us profoundly...and so many other parts in our life fall into place when our spaces and possessions serve us in the best way they can. But getting there is much more than a pursuit of pleasing aesthetics.

 

Decorating and Staging are different, but much of the skill sets overlap, and each creates unique solutions that considers the needs, goals, resources, expectations, hopes and dreams of each client.

Bettering Westchester, Putnam and lower Fairfield counties since 1981, The Refreshed Home works collaboratively, and brings a thoughtful approach to the creative process. Proud to make a difference, as well as make a living. Offering specialty services such as remote and buyer consults, listing photo/video styling, guided and accompanied shopping, and accessory rental. We get in, get out, and you get on with your life.  Talk to me TODAY about how we can better your space!

We did this to our garage and it does make a huge difference!  Love the way it stays cleaner.

I can't speak from experience with this product, but we did use the Rustoleum equivalent on our garage floor and LOVED the results.  Everyone who entered our garage commented on how nice it looked.

Hi Paula-thanks for stopping by. Sometimes it is the simplest, things that make the biggest difference to a buyer...
