I am a newbie in the home staging field. This is the first home I helped redesign and stage. I would love your comments and feedback. I will add other pics later. Thanks for looking. :)

Esther: Congratulations on making the house look so much larger - just taking back the shrubbery does wonders. Must be an epidemic of shrub overgrowth in California - the pictures look familiar. LOL Julie

Hi Connie, thanks for your welcoming and encouraging words!!!

Michelle, thank you for all your advice and help thus far. I appreciate your feedback. It means a lot.

Thanks, Julie! The shrubbery was way out of control. The moral of the story...be careful what you plant!

I'm not a designer by any means, but I can really see the difference. It's always funny to see what some paint and simple change in furntiture can do to a house. Who would've known that there was a beautiful house behind all that shrubbery!
