BEFORE AND AFTER Staging at L's!

My newest lovely client (we'll call her L) contacted me a few short weeks ago about staging her luxurious home for a quick sale!  I was very excited, as staging can be some of the most rewarding work, like, ever!  L has a fabulous home on the north side of Atlanta.  If you're in the market for a new home with room to spare, you should take a look!

Below are her BEFORE photos.

Small budgets are no biggie when it comes to staging.  Some fresh paint and accessories and a little "Birchwood elbow grease" can be the ticket to a quick sale!  

 

Check out our small changes that made a BIG impact!

 

AFTER -- Make formal rooms feel less formal!  We switched out the formal coffee table for this big cushy ottoman.  Fresh paint too.  We added fun accessories, and new big squishy pillows.  L's collection of vintage prints were so cute, we had to display them!

AFTER--- Again, de-formalize.  Our 6 foot custom chalk board seems to be a fav with buyers.  We set the table for a fun dinner party, and added some color and texture.

AFTER---- We neutralized the book cases with paint and less-personal accessories.  We opted for a more neutral rug that L already owned.  We added a sofa table with additional lighting and added in fun accessories.  We pushed the furniture closer together to encourage conversation, and highlight the massive size of this true family room.  Ummm, look at those windows!!!  I'm ready to make an offer!

AFTER--- The kitchen.  We de-cluttered and added-in soft touches.  We removed curtains and added Birchwood Magnolia wreaths instead.  We about died over L's vintage scale (y'all know my obsession), which of course, went right in the middle of the island.

AFTER--- the breakfast nook got a coffee bar.  L's high-end espresso machine screamed fancy schmancy.  Buyers like fancy ideas and possibilities.  Don't mind the subliminal messaging with the butcher paper Birchwood sign (It's all for the cause L)!

AFTER--- We reduced the size of the table and did a cute little centerpiece.  Eucalyptus, cause I'm just so obsessed.

AFTER... Who doesn't want hot espresso in this fabulous kitchen?

AFTER--- The bed got some new pillows.  We switched out some lighting and add accessories.

AFTER--- We used lots of fresh white towels and some new greenery in the bathroom.  

Happy selling L!  I can't wait to see all your offers!
