| Yes, you CAN stage your own home!
Homeowners Michelle and Randy did just that. After two weeks of extremely hard work, their home looked like a page out of a magazine! Decluttering, painting, repairs, cleaning and moving furniture around were accomplished with the help of a small army of friends and family. In fact, Michelle and Randy were so ambitious that they even sanded and re-finished their hardwood floors. For the perfect finishing touch, local artist & friend Marjolyn van der Hart (www.marjolyn.com) placed some of her artwork around their home. Wow! The result was breathtaking! Note that there are professionals who specialize in home staging, and they are VERY good at what they do! Professional home stagers are trained in home design and can make your home look beautiful. They will also provide furniture and accessories to update your “look” as part of their service. Michelle told us that after her DIY home staging experience, she appreciated professional home stagers even more. The moral of this story is that DIY Home Staging is not for the faint of heart — but, if you have the time, determination, creativity & the right group of friends — you too can do it yourself! Michelle says, “2 weeks of craziness for a really good outcome! Don’t give up!”.
(Michelle & Randy received 5 offers on their home & it was sold in less than a week. Congratulations!!!) |
