A Baby Room Makeover

These home sellers created a baby room that buyers would instantly adore. —home sellers who happened to be new parents—needed to sell quickly. In three days, so their home was staged and the nursery was redesigned for the WoW! factor! 

She started out by decluttering the room and packing away any items that did not have an immediate purpose.

She decided to make the focal point the back wall, which already displayed a mural. She placed the crib in the center.

“The textured, sheer curtains were in another room and installed at ceiling height to give the room a taller appearance.  “The natural light from the window added a nice touch, complementing the beauty of the sheer curtains and opening up the room to complete the light and airy theme. There were tons of adorable stuffed animals lying around, so before we packed them away, I chose a few characters with soft brown or pink pastel colors to add some character to the room.”

And like magic, here is the results!  Beautiful!  Simple and lovely! And inviting!

Overcoming an Awkward Layout

Staging here was a tricky feat due to the various traffic paths and entrances in the room.

The 1,100-square-foot cottage had dark blue-gray walls, heavy window treatments, and very little light, The sellers were open to some changes, so we suggested the entire home be repainted with lighter colors. She also removed and replaced window treatments to let in more natural light. She added light fixtures, ceiling lights, and table lamps. “I kept a neutral cream-and-gray palette, to increase the lighting."

Cozy and Warm

Here we offered up a homey vignette. “I love to create spaces that make anyone who enters them feel at home,”  “A place where they can let go and feel like a warm hug has enveloped them. I believe in the details because details matter.”

In the styling of the room below, personal touches were used throughout, such as the china her mother gifted her and a birdcage that reminded her of her father’s love of bluebirds.

Clearing the Kids’ Clutter

This stager focused on maximizing each space in the home by turning the home office back into a bedroom, moving the changing table back upstairs to the nursery, and clearing out any clutter and toys.

Also, broken blinds were removed to let in more light.

She also brought in accessories that complemented the homeowners’ style. “We made sure the photographer highlighted those beautiful French bifold doors that are original to the home.”  It's important to focus on each home's individuality and make sure the staging complements the property’s style and color palette of the home while keeping in mind who the buyer is and what they are looking for.

A Staged Outdoor Luncheon

Want to create the perfect style that would make a party at home extra special?

Perhaps the interior of the home is wonderful, but you would like to add some drama and interest outdoors?

Put together a magical Easter lunch outdoors! Here we used staging skills and ideas that can be used for a lot more things than just making rooms pretty. The outdoors can provide a multitude of "staging" ideas to make buyers feel at home, and fall in love with the property!

Blue Serenity

Here this family room was overhauled with touches of blue. Here we added a big piece of artwork to ground the large, empty wall and highlight the blue that the homeowner had chosen as the accent color.  Wonderful and serene!
