Every little bit of staging counts... even with very little to work with

I recently received a call for a small home that had been on the market for over 6 month's and the Realtor wanted me to stage the living room and kitchen/ eat in area.  I had to use the sofa and loveseat and also their endtables and other odds and ends.  I know that it never is quite as charming as using all of my staging furniture, but again, it's always better than doing nothing.  I also had them paint and put in new light fixtures to update the space a little more.  That evening, there was a showing and the couple wrote up a purchase agreement!  It always makes me happy to have to remove my accessories from a home in such a short time.

I think that even with what you had to work with , it looks great.... and ultimatly you were in the best interest of the client because I have heard some stagers that although they don't have alot to work with they lure the clients into purchasing a lot of items.

I had to look at it several times to realize it was the same room.

What a difference.

the homeowners must be pleased as can be with you

Great job using what they had and by honoring them by doing your best  and  helping with the sale of their home

Hi Letitia,  Wow, that paint color and making the large wall the "focal point" really did wonders, as did adding the lighter colored slipcovers.  It is fun when we stagers get to be really creative and just use what's given to us!

Letitia, personally I find it can be even more satisfying when you use what they have and what you are given and you get these GREAT results.  You should be very proud of this accomplishment..bravo!

This looks so much warmer, Letitia.  Do you know the paint color that was selected? Thanks.
