These rooms were staged on a minimal budget - $0.0. The only expense to the homeowner was my actual time (half day rate of $395 - each of these rooms were done in less than 2-3 hrs)
Now that you've seen what we can do on a meager budget, isn't it time you called a professional stager?

Big, big difference, Melissa!! This is ample proof that it doesn't require a big budget to get big results.

Melissa, that fireplace -looks like mine! If there were hardwoods and a red sofa - I would think that was my house! Well almost!
*wink
I love this!
Melissa,
Another wonderful job! You prove the point that you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a great effect.
Melissa,
I find that staging, or redesigning, using what people already have, is sometimes the biggest challenge, however it is also the most rewarding!
Great job - as usual!

Thank you so much for all your positive comments.
Marci - I love that brick fireplace, if you have one like it, I'm jealous!
I'm always amazed at how difficult it is to get homeowners to understand what we can do for them for next to no money! Why are they so resistive? They are MOVING... you would think they would want to pack and begin getting ready to MOVE!
When I read The Science of Success a few months ago the author when discussing manifesting advised that we must prepare for that which we want. A change is required for those things/actions to come into our lives. Why should it be any different for selling a home?
