Isn’t she beautiful?!!! I know what you’re thinking, Natalie, what in the world will you do to help a BRAND-NEW, AMAZING HOME? I think we generally associate staging with older homes needing a “face-lift”, but not true.
Any home no matter the age, location or price point can benefit from home staging!
Loved this home from the moment I first saw it on the MLS. Cute 3/2 house, with loads of potential! Unfortunately, most buyers probably wouldn’t see the potential that I did. Continue reading
If your house is on the market the finish to this melodic statement is easy…and it isn’t “two front teeth”, you want your house to sell!!
Today, I want to address a touchy subject, decorating for Christmas while your home is on the market. Now, first let me say I am PRO-CHRISTMAS (notice I made the red “X” candy-cane striped to prove that very point…haha) So don’t go throwing me under the bus with the rest of the Happy Holiday wishers Continue reading
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!
This home was a fun stage! Not only was it full of a sweet family who happens to be wonderful friends, but it was a warm home which has been loved to life by the current owners.
Kitchen Before:
A HUGE kitchen with an eat-in area is a great selling point, especially for an active family like our homeowners. But an odd dining layout and a bit of countertop clutter may make it hard for the buyers to see this great feature.
