BEDROOM

 

This room needed a quick turnaround, so we:

  • Purchased a bargain bed-in-a-bag set, inexpensive framed pictures and lamp

  • Borrowed decorative pillows from her sister

  • Brought a dining room chair, throw and side table from other rooms in the house. 

Then, we turned on the lights.  Voila!  Now buyers know this room can be cozy and inviting -- no leaving it up to their imaginations!

 
     
 

BATH

This bath was in good condition, but was not very attractive.  We made it more stylish by:

  • Removing the clutter (and kitty litter)

  • Placing a basket of spa items on the vanity

  • Hanging a couple of art pieces

  • Adding a palm and white towels to the table by the window

  • Opening the blinds and turning on the lights. 

Now it's easy for buyers to imagine themselves relaxing in this spa-like master bath!

 
     
 

STUDY

The homeowner intentionally kept this office dark, both to reduce glare on his monitor and to protect the antique rug. Over time, his shelves had become a catch-all for miscellaneous items. The solution:

  • Decluttered the shelves, and repositioned books and decorative items

  • Removed or hid phone and computer cords

  • Cleared the desk

  • Opened the windows

  • Replaced the worn office chair with a wooden chair to complement the wood desk

Without adding a thing to the room, it now looks inviting and showcases the excellent shelving and great window views!

 
     
 

LIVING ROOM

In this space, there was minimal clutter, but the furniture arrangement made it feel more like a pass-thru from the foyer to the den than a conversation area.

  • We moved the sofa to face the fireplace, thereby balancing these two large elements. 

  • The now available window space could now hold a console and accessories. 

  • The chairs were angled to complete the conversation area, and greenery was added to soften the look.

This arrangement fosters a more intimate gathering -- all without buying a thing!
