One of the challenges faced by home owners is that the pictures of their vacant home often appear cold. How the home appears on the internet is an important element to consider. Here are examples of a home we staged yesterday.
Here's the same room, different angle.
The following picture shows the living room. The hall way, behind the staircase leading down, takes you to the master bedroom. As a result, the couch could not be centered in front of the window.

Be curious to hear your thoughts on his post.
It's a great article, Josef. Thanks for providing the link.
Perhaps one of the most valid points made is to "stage it properly." A professional stager will understand the importance of asking who the potential buyers are. Young buyers want homes more hip, while the more mature buyer tends to lean more toward the traditional.
Thanks for your comment, Josef.

Kathy,
A tremendous difference....and one and warm is certainly the word that comes to mind.
Kathy- this is looks MAHVELOUS - Dahling! Once again! Another Great Job!
Lovely Kathy. Great job. I love those two mirrors in the dining room.
Kathy - it is just beautiful!
Great job with this place. I like the look you went with. Nice before and afters.
Kathy I just love your style. You did an amazing transformation of that vacant! Thank you for sharing it with all of us !
GORGEOUS! So true about the internet too. I can't believe sometimes the horrible photos I see on the MLS. Just makes me cringe. I also can't say enough that I LOVE when stagers and realtors share their before and after photos. Keep up the good work!
Thanks everyone!
The Realtor just sent me an email and loved how the home came out.
Kathy
How beautiful! You really did a beautiful job on the staging! Love looking at your photos of before and after!
Warm and calming is the feeling I get from the staged rooms! You are brilliant!
LOOKS GREAT! I love the metal mirror artwork in the dining room. Looks fantastic!
Cheers,
Cindy
Thanks, LaNita.
Awe, Janice. Thanks for your kind words!
Cindy - I too love those mirrors. I've used them before in an entrance way and they looked incredible.
Kathy
These before and afters are great, Kathy! Now that was one amazing transformation! =)
What a difference Kathy!As usual you created beautiful, warm environment which from photos alone invites buyers in to take a look. The stats are 80% + are searching the internet first for home sales.
Love your work, simple and elegent, proves one more time that staging works !!

Great photographs! I would definitely want to take an up close and personal look at this home if I saw these pictures on the MLS.
Wow, that is some great work. I love the look of hardwood floors
Kathy, Thank you for sharing your wonderful pictures and great job! Isn't it amazing what staging will do? It is so important to educate our clients on gettign their home staged before posting their pictures on the Internet, empty, vacant and cold. Thanks again!
Have a Colorful Day!
It looks wonderful. It makes the space feel like a home; a place to gather and socialize.
Kathy, It looks Beautiful! Your truly created a warm and inviting space.
Thank you, everyone, for your extremely kind words. As any professional home stager will tell you, we spend an incredible amount of work in the design plan. I too think the home looks warm and inviting.

Kathy once again you have done a fabulous staging job. If I were looking at pictures on the MLS - the vacant ones would be gone in a flash! What you have done kept me looking for a much longer period of time. Thanks for the post. Betty
Kathy, Very nicely done. Liked the before and after photos. Great job.
