My hat goes off to this Atlanta homeowner! Despite his frustrations, given that his house was on the market for such a long time, he took my advice and made the necessary changes (i.e., paint, replace light fixtures, countertop, remove wallpaper, etc.) and wow what a difference. I call that a little TLC.
Sure, it looks plain (as you'll see in the before pictures below) but... he didn't stop there. That's where the "ME" comes in. A home stager in Atlanta (or, sometimes called House Stager). A neighbor, who had used me to sell a home last year and happened to have kept my contact information, was kind enough to pass over my information.
Here's the office as it appeared this morning:

Here's how it looked when we were done:

Kathy- needless to say your staging was absolutely perfect.. adding just enough to give the buyer a sense of the possibilities of the room. And, kudos to your seller for being savvy enough to take your advice!
Kathy: Wow. The owner fixed up the 'bones' but you did the magic wand miracle that you do so well. Good job.
Kathy,
Excellent presentation!
Kathy.....It looks amazing and as always the pictures are "picture perfect"!!!!
Kathy -- you are a staging genius! Love the rug in the office, and the living room is so inviting that I want to plop down and enjoy the room! Fabulous photos too -- your TLC did the trick!
Kathy--you certainly took those spaces from bland to amazing. Can't see that property ever selling in its "before" appearance.
Looks awesome...love the colors and the style. As always...the closeup is fabulous too!
Great Job, Kathy!
I would have loved to see the pictures before the make over. You did a great job staging this house and I am sure it made all the difference. That is why we are hired!
Wonderful job. The furnishings are beautiful and as usual the photo angles are great. If the RE agents use these photos it will make the buyers want to come and take a look!
Kathy,
Love the pictures! Great job and hope the results work out well soon. Buyers are just very visual.
All the best, Michelle
As always your staging is beautiful, Kathy! I especially love the little touch with the wire bike on the desk!
HI Kathy, as always your staging is successful as you add depth and emotion to a property. Well done, really well done.
