I feel like I have been trampled by a herd of wild horses. Staging that house in 4 days was quite the challenge if only because it is not a small bungalow!
10 hour days!

Like I said I am no expert in real estate but I feel like I got a crash course.
Yes....it is about de-cluttering but definitely so much more as I learned.
Tips at the end......but for now some before and afters!
We started by painting the whole house BM Winds Breath [might be my new favorite white!].
Covering up BM Grant Beige. Lighten and brighten people.....makes the space look so much larger!

We wanted to get close to the trim color and it was spot on.

She had these barstools in the basement so we used them! It kind of directed our pendant choice.
Creating a more casual look.
You can see we painted the island from dark brown to white. Leslie was a little hesitant but loved it after seeing the final result.

I need to start by saying that the homeowner was a dream to work with.....so agreeable to any changes we suggested.
I mean we descended in her life like a herd of elephants:)

Fsntastic job!!!!!
I bet the homeowner is in awe!
Great job Sherry! You are so right, staging is like UN-decorating. You really opened up the space and kept that beautiful view as a great selling point. High five, Missy!!
Great work with the lighting and accessories, Sherry! It's nice they had the subway tile in the kitchen. I am so tired of trying to convince people that white paint doesn't mean cold.
Would you share where you got the kitchen pendent lights?

Amazing transofrmation. Painting the island genius!! Love the cleaner and hipper feel.
So fresh and beautiful - all that work really paid off! Excited to have just recently found your blog - how I wish you could have come about an hour or so south to Monument while you were in CO to help me with a home I've struggled with for years! :) Looking forward to more photos.

Looks wonderful! (If you go to Monument, I'm in Roxborough Park. Almost on the way!). (Colorado really needs some design help). Thanks for all the sources. What about the guest room bedspread amd coverlet and pillows? Jean ann
Unbelievable transformation! I'm convinced, I'm using a stager when I sell my house in the coming years!
genius. i'll be staying tuned (of course!) to the next phase and the tips. i think a bunch of people are gonna be rushing out for white to cover their grant's beige. :)
My whole house is done in BM Winds Breath and I absolutely love it. Light with the palest touch of greige.
