Stage Now - Cathy Lee's Blog

Two year old Zack came home and asked his Daddy, Where did the mess go?

C.L. Design Services Home Staging just completed a fun project and now this home is for sale and move in ready!

Our design plans included:

    Decluttering, increasing the value of the home

    Better scale and proportion by rearranging and adding smaller pieces, making each room more pleasing

    Adding punch with artwork, pillows and rugs

    Changing bedding to give a variety of elements and textures

    Keeping it clean and fresh by detailing the home

The results were remarkable!

Buyer's are looking for "move in ready" homes. Don't be tempted to list your home without staging it, even if you have painted fresh decorator colors, replaced your flooring, cleaned it sparkling shiny.  Staging is the GrandFinale. It is the key to success. Don't "try to sell for a few weeks and see if you can do without staging".

You cannot afford not to stage! The proof is in these photos:

This homeseller was wise and staged before listing his property. He interviewed several Realtors and insisted on professionally staging his home. Home Staging Surveys show over and over staged homes sell faster.

C.L. Design Services Home Stagings recent project involved bathroom updating. The powder room mirror was frameless. I suggested we measure and order a frame from MirrorMate Frames.  This very affordable, easy to install frame, arrived in a few weeks. It certainly updated the vanity area of this small powder room!! I love design solutions like this!!!!
