I met with a sweet realtor today in town. We spoke about staging and some of the misconceptions of staging. I know you’ve heard the old saying, “Less is More”, this is a GREAT thought to follow while getting your home market ready!

Many think to stage a home you need to bring in huge amounts of artwork, furniture, rugs, and fru-frus (yes that is a word in my vocabulary), WRONG!!! A home is a lot like you or me, a blank canvas. Your clothes, shoes, accessories are all meant to complement your best assets; much like furniture and accessories are for a home. You want your buyer to fall in love with your home, is your home the focal point or is it your furnishings?

I love Coco Chanel’s quote, “When accessorizing always take off the last thing you put on.” This idea is evident in one very famous actress whose style has remained of iconic proportions through the decades. Her simple, clean, effortless look was flawless. 

Audrey Hepburn made the LBD (little black dress) a MUST HAVE for all ladies from then until well eternity. Her look isn’t fussy, it’s classic, universal, and I know you are wishing you had this outfit right now (well that is unless you are a man…haha).

So, when you are getting your home market ready, remember the LBD rule…a simple, clean, classic that transcends time and status will never fail!
