Eating with nude people in the room

Hi Karen Anne, I chose that title as that was exactly the question that I asked the client. Do you want to eat with nude people in the dining room? When I phrased it like that the husband said was I offering? LOL!!!

The wife still had to think about it for a day as she really liked the nude artwork.

Hi Robert, yes I still have to figure out how to place my before and afters on AR. The other two showed even more nudity that you didn't want to have to see while eating a shish ka bob if you get my drift.

Hi Michelle, it really is amazing what we have to discuss with our clients in a day. Thank goodness we
Stagers are a versatile lot.

I just think place settings in this instance in particular made the small room look even smaller.

Hi Julia, thanks for stopping in. I think nudes are fine in the bedroom, but not even then when staging to sell. I am sure it is different for every culture. I know in Hungary (I think it is) you can have a postage stamp made in your image- Even nudes. There was story about this in the paper here in Canada.Our post office offers the same service and a Hungarian lady sent in her nude photo and was disappointed to learn that she had been turned down. Go figure! No pun intended.

HI Mark and Leslie, no pun intended of course!

Hi Kathy, Marina, and Cindy- yes I have been known to write good copy. :) Thank you for the compliment.

HI Darrel, Exactly. I don't have a preference one way or another. My job is to get the buyer taliking about the house, connect with how they could live there. Not to talk about the seller's possessions.  It is near impossible for a youngster to see artwork with nudes and not comment on it.

Hi Mike, sound advice for everyone. Thanks for weighing in on this topic.

Hi Virginia, that's the perfect way. Enjoy them yourself, but not for Staging purposes.

HI Ronald,  I believe that it was a popular trend about 20 years ago. It is mostly the clientele that is in their 60's - 70's that really enjoy the look of a set table. It is not something that the younger crowd takes part in.

HI Mary, What do you do with the mirrors when Staging? In your experience, when they are removed are they glued to the ceiling? Or are they hung in some other fashion? Would there be a lot of repair work involved? I can imagine that the walls would need repairing. Thinking of the visuals is exactly what potential buyers would be doing and missing the the selling points of the house. Not what Staging is all about.

Aloha Kimo, Impressionistic is the way to go. I love it as well. I agree thattThe bedrooms are the ideal place for this artwork while living in the house. Nice touch with the artwork in the post.  Some day I will learn how to ramp up my posts with add ins like that! :)

Hi Kathy, that's the only reason I conceded to allowing the place settings to stay. If they had been another colour and stood out I probably would have insisted that they be stored.

HI Cynthia,

I love modern classic florals. These are from a floral supply and I have them in several colours.

The vases are actually glasses from their bar.

I also like repetition in props and accessories. It really puts a modern stamp on any property and makes it look instantly updated.

Thanks for stopping in. It is true, a great title makes the difference to your blog being read.
