House Gets Transformed Before ListingThe Country Look Is Out; Contemporary Is In!
Before: FoyerBuyers don¡¯t want to walk in and see other people¡¯s shoes and family photos.
After: FoyerNow the foyer is ready for anyone to picture themselves living in this house: the shoes and photos are gone; a large clock functions as a piece of art.
Before: Living Room Black is not a welcoming color in big doses. The curtains block too much light, the hardwood floors are TOO bare.
After: Living roomAfter staging, this living room is light, bright, and welcoming! The white shag rug and colorful pillows really add warmth.
Before: Family RoomWho can see past the mess?! This room needs major de-cluttering, the pine paneling and small pictures need to go.
After: Family RoomIs this the same room? De-cluttering, re-painting, removing the large curtains turn this room from  a playroom into a relaxing family retreat.
Before: Outdated cornerThis corner screams ¡°granny¡± and ¡°exercise¡± ¨C neither convey sales appeal!
After: Updated!Now this space is airy, light, and bright, thanks to the addition of a new neutral slipcover, an  inexpensive contemporary end table and lamp, and trendy accessories.
Before, ¡°Office¡±?Before staging, is this room an office, an eating area, homework area, or crafts room? There¡¯s so much going on in here, it¡¯s hard to tell. Each room needs one defined purpose.
 Staging reveals an office!Now this room is shown to full advantage. Buyers  will see a spacious, bright office without the messy distractions of so much furniture and clutter.
Before: Master BedroomBefore staging, this bedroom is all country with outdated sponge painting and a wallpaper border.
After: Master BedroomNow, the bedroom is updated and much more luxurious. Candles and flowers give that ¡°retreat¡± feel.
Before:  A ¡°busy¡± bedroomThis child¡¯s bedroom has way too many patterns and distractions. With all the truck and bulldozer d¨¦cor, it says ¡°little boy¡± a little too loudly!
After, A Subdued Room!After staging, this bedroom looks more generic, relaxing, and appealing.
Before, An Overflowing ClosetThis closet shows buyers there isn¡¯t enough storage room . . . Not a comforting message.
After: A Spacious ClosetNow this large closet shows off how much storage space this home office actually has.
Before: PatioThis patio is used as a toy/catch-all area that looks unfinished and unattractive.
After: Staged For RelaxingThe owners finished the ¡°paver¡± wall, added plants and a $100 bistro set, and voila: a sheltered place to envision having a cup of coffee.
