Atlanta Home Staging Company: July 2008

One of my objectives as a home stager in Atlanta is to set the home apart from the others on the market; to make an impression and to make it memorable.  Whether the home is located North, South, East or West of Atlanta, the objective is the exact same.

The home I staged today sits in Virginia Highlands.  As described in the link, the name is derived from the intersections of Virginia and Highland Avenues and is made up of 7 distinct commercial villages.  The quaint little shops and incredible restaurants makes this a desireable location for many moving to Atlanta.  It also happens to house one of my all-time favorite restaurants called Noches which features spanish and southwestern tapas.  And no, unfortunately, they were not open for lunch.

Here's a picture of the living room before we staged:

Here's the "after" picture:

And more "after" pictures of this home:

And a quaint little area within the home for a bite to eat!

As any experienced home stager will tell you, the "art of home staging" is quite different for an occupied home versus a vacant home.  With a vacant home, we define what we use in the form of furniture and accessories; whereas with an occupied, we're typically dealing with what the homeowners already own.

While the process is different, the desired objective is the exact same.  The goal in home staging for both occupied and vacant is to showcase the features of the home as well as the space.

Here's insight into the planning that occurred for this occupied home:

In this before picture of the office, we have the typical office clutter.  Let me quickly add that my office looks extremely similar.  The opportunity here is to showcase this in a much more organized fashion.

Now here's what we did:

The concept of the black and white photos against the red brick was right on the money; so more were added.  Printer was moved to the right of the desk, and pictures added to the wall (on the left) which created more of a balance in the room.  The items on the shelves were simply moved around for a more appealing look.  NOTE:  All AFTER pictures were taken by a professional photographer.

After Picture: 

Here's the before picture of the family room:  Note:  The photo was taken as you enter the room. As you can see, the position of the sofas limited the size of the room.  FYI - The sheet was placed in front of the office door to prohibit the cats from entering that room.

And the "after" picture:  By placing the sofas on both sides of the room, you gain a better perspective as to the size of the room.  Matching lamps were added again to provide balance as were sister prints on the right wall.

Another angle, same room:  As you can see, there's a pub table in the far right hand corner of the room.  This was actually the third table set in the home and one that was not used frequently enough to warrant keeping it there.

The simple changes such as a single picture above the side table, and the addition of the chaise lounge provides for a more relaxed look.

The team at HomeStagingAtlanta.com was recently hired to stage a dorm suite for a new residence hall at Clayton State University.   What a FUN project!  And let me quickly add that dorms have certainly changed since I attended school.  In the new residence hall, each suite contains 4 individual bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. 

Here are some before and after pictures of the suite.

Girl Bedroom #1 Before Picture.  While each of the rooms came out beautiful, this one is perhaps my most favorite.

Girl Bedroom After Picture

We followed the same rules that would apply to the students and thus avoided any nails.  The art hung in each of the rooms was done using the 3M brand of hooks.  The wall decal in the room pictured above was purchased at Burlington Coat Factory and is completely removable.
