Since creating the “to be continued” blog, I’ve been closing each post with the words “dwell in possibilities.” I must confess that I borrowed this phrase from the great poet, Emily Dickinson. I saw her quote and realized that it summed up what I am doing as a professional home stager and interior designer.

I am most grateful to Ms. Dickinson for her insightful and inspiring phrase.

Regardless of the size or price range of a house, my objective is to find the possibilities in that house. I am looking for those unique features of that house and finding possible ways to accentuate them for the potential buyer. I am analyzing those unusual spaces that buyers find difficult to understand upon first glance and finding possible functional uses for those spaces.

In the end, my mission is to help the potential buyer see how they could dwell in the possibilities of this house!

One More Show Ready House -- One More Quick Sale!!

What is the value of making a house “show ready”?  Today’s example, F Court in Jenks, proves the value quite simply yet effectively.  This house was under contract in 8 Days!!!

Show ready, staged houses sell quickly!! 

F Court was a fun project as I was given the opportunity to make this immaculate family home ready for the big show and a quick sale.  I had a nice, clean, neutral canvas to work with.  And look at how I was able to help prospective buyers imagine their best selves and their family living in this beautiful space.

LIVING ROOM – I opened up the living room by pulling back the sofas.  I added richness by supplementing the accessories.  I also brought in large, contemporary art.  Of course, everything was arranged to highlight the fireplace as the room’s focal point.

KITCHEN – Simple, clean and orderly were the keys to what was already a special space.  In some cases, less is definitely more!

FAMILY ROOM – I arranged the sofas to emphasize the great view and the fireplace.  The home seller’s furniture was dressed up with colorful pillows and a few simple accessories.

MASTER BATHROOM – Bright fresh and sculptural accessories bring life into this large master bathroom. 

There are lots more photos of the F Court Staging Project on our website at http://www.transitions-home-staging.com/F-Court---Jenks.html .  Check them out if you have a few spare moments.

I’ve been working a theme in my recent blogs.  In this competitive market, houses need to be “show ready”.  And professional home staging helps houses be really “show ready”. 

Dwell in possibilities
