Art is What You Make Others See.

Art is not what you see, but what you make others see. -Edgar Degas
Staging is an art form. In viewing a prospective house to purchase, only ten percent of buyers can see what it could be. The other ninety percent can only see what is there. When a stager is able to convey how a family could live in the house - it is art. When a stager is able to demonstrate to others a lifestyle, cozy family times around the fireplace or reading a favorite book on the deck in the lazy days of summer - we have art.
Can anyone create art - of course! Are some masterpieces and others quite
elementary - yes.

Kathleen...That is a good way to put it.  I never thought of art or staging in those terms

Great point...I love quotes like that.  Degas is one of my favorites.  His bronze ballerina sculpture at the MET is the coolest!

Abby - I had to do a search to see the ballerina sculpture - I and my girls all had ballet lessons as children and then I started again as an adult.

Hi Kathleen, Great post, that is a unique way to compare staging to art.. It most certainly is an ART form! Now let the Stager Artists begin.. God bless,

Cheryl - I like that Stager Artists (sounds better than home stager - I have never liked that and now we are stuck with it)

Kristina - I have seen some of your  after staging photos and they are very artistically arranged.  Face it - you do art.
