STAGING BEFORE AND AFTER PART 2

I have the rest of the pictures from the staging project today.  

Let me start by saying this...... when Cari first met with the homeowners they discussed everything that needed to be done before putting the house on the market.... taking into consideration that it had to be done in a month to take advantage of the busy spring market!

Everybody worked in tandem with scheduling and getting things done.  Team work people!  

Remember this....your home is probably the biggest investment you will make.....why wouldn't you do everything you could to get your best return?

Now....back to before and afters.  Plus the professional shots are back so I have a few of those to share.

The TV/Den before

After....we replaced the coffee table and some of the pillows.

This is where the leather chair ended up.

The real estate picture.  You can see we removed a few pieces of furniture.

Before

Why did we get a new coffee table?  Because it looked too heavy especially coming into view up the stairs.  Just a small detail.

Heading upstairs to the bedrooms.

This is the headboard we moved to the main level guest room.  We then purchased this cute World Market one!

And the real estate picture.

No before of this basement bedroom....

But we re-arranged the whole space and added white bedding and pillows!  Most of the furniture and bed were on the opposite [same wall as the door] .  We flipped everything to give a clear pathway.

I don't have a before of the porch either but we added the pillows, rug, and table accessories trying to brighten it up as much as we could!

Before

Added more color here...

This view right!

I showed you the before and after of the laundry room but here is the real estate shot.

After

We actually changed out the faucet from silver to this oil rubbed bronze one.

And what you can't see is we added this rug....so cute.

Somebody asked about the kitchen pendants.

I wrote up a few things that were done to this property before going on the market.

STAGING TIPS

Doing all of this will help your home stand out and will give a buyer no barriers to move forward with a purchase:)

Who wants to move to Boulder?

Happy Easter everyone:)

BOULDER STAGING BEFORE AND AFTER

I feel like I have been trampled by a herd of wild horses.  Staging that house in 4 days was quite the challenge if only because it is not a small bungalow!  

10 hour days!

Like I said I am no expert in real estate but I feel like I got a crash course.

Yes....it is about de-cluttering but definitely so much more as I learned.

Tips at the end......but for now some before and afters!

We started by painting the whole house BM Winds Breath [might be my new favorite white!].  

Covering up BM Grant Beige.  Lighten and brighten people.....makes the space look so much larger!

We wanted to get close to the trim color and it was spot on.

Here is the main level guest room....Before

Changed out the faucet [Grohe] to my new favorite!  

New light fixtures

She had these barstools in the basement so we used them!  It kind of directed our pendant choice.

Creating a more casual look.

You can see we painted the island from dark brown to white.  Leslie was a little hesitant but loved it after seeing the final result.

The tile was steam cleaned and it looked fantastic!

Moving into the living room....

After....really just a little zhushing!

We changed out the sconces.....

Took out this leather chair.

Brought in this ottoman from the basement.

Look....this was only the first floor!  There is so much more but I will save for Friday!

Plus all of my tips for getting your home ready to sell!

I need to start by saying that the homeowner was a dream to work with.....so agreeable to any changes we suggested.  

I mean we descended in her life like a herd of elephants:)
