Staging to Sell....round 1

I sold a home a year ago and was very fortunate to have a quick sale. When I decided to put the home on the market, I knew I needed to do something with all the everyday clutter that comes with having a family. Over the course of a month we cleaned out closets, donated items to Goodwill, threw things away, took down personal items, and put things in a storage unit. I purchased a few items to make the house pop, but basically used what I had. Here are some pictures with links to the purchased items. I'm sorry I don't have before pictures, but I never thought I'd be writing about what I did.

I was fortunate that when I purchased this house it had a nicely

landscaped lawn. I'm so thankful that we found a great lawn service

to maintain it. The only thing I did to the front was to add

hanging baskets with brightly colored flowers.

Living Room:

In this room I ordered custom made pillow covers (the large white ones

with floral designs on them). I ordered smaller pillow covers to tie in

the gray/teal curtains, the gray/teal curtains, and the 3ft by 3ft wall

art over the mantle. I loved the gray/teal curtains and how they

made the room pop.

Kitchen and Dining Area

 

 

On the kitchen window and the dining area windows I

used an extra gray/teal curtain that I had ordered and had my

mother make matching valences. I bought placemats from Target,

and then "staged" our table using our dishes (Target). I found the

cute teal vase at Hobby Lobby and put some bright

flowers in it to add some color.

 

Master Bathroom:

 

Now our master bathroom was definitely not the most updated

bathroom. However, I made the best out of the situation by

purchasing a nice neutral colored shower curtain, and putting

some flowers on the counter. I bought some matching towels

to hang.

I loved this bathroom. The yellow made it so bright and happy.

The picture in the mirror was one I had before I staged the house,

but I love it so much I have to give a shout out to London Bridge

Children (on etsy.com). The shower curtain is from Target.

Little Ones Room:

Not much was done in here, other than a LOT of de-cluttering!

Someone gave Samantha the chandelier as a baby shower gift. We

took out the light wiring and use it as an accent in the room. The

wall art are lines from "You Are My Sunshine". I added some

fake flowers for some color and made sure the room stayed clean.
