before and after 3101 CHESAPEAKE street

BEFORE front exterior
The brick exterior and paint was in impeccable condition, but the overgrown shrubs and clutter distracted from the houses unique architecture…

AFTER front exterior
Fresh landscaping, a tidy up and colorful potted plants draw the eye up the flagstone path to front door, allowing the character of the house to make a strong first impression.

BEFORE living room
Without furniture the classic architecture of the windows and fireplace doesn’t showcase as well as it could, making the room appear narrow…

AFTER living room
What a difference staging makes- the room now invites you to imagine yourself living here! Carefully considered furniture placement opens the room width up and draws the focus to the stunning custom design fireplace and curved, sun filled windows.

BEFORE dining room
A great size for a dining space with abundant natural light, but without furnishing it lacks visual impact…

AFTER dining room
The furnishing style has been inspired by the elegant art deco light fixture; the unique silhouettes of the dining table, chairs and china, paired with elegant accents compliment the elegant glass work beautifully.

BEFORE sunroom
This sunroom is a fabulous space to sit and relax whilst overlooking the lush gardens and yard, but the lack of seating doesn’t communicate the concept of comfort…

AFTER sunroom
The textiles and plush area rug soften the space by breaking up the square tile and windows. We love to use plants in sunrooms to bring a little of the outdoors in.

BEFORE master bedroom
The master bedroom lacks the grand first impression that it could attain with staged furniture and accessories…

AFTER master bedroom
Now, as buyers walk into the room they get a sense of it being the master bedroom. The coordinating textiles pull together an elegant allover look, refined by the luxurious smaller accents such as the window treatment pullbacks.

AFTER bedroom 2
The use of boldly patterned textiles invigorate an otherwise nice but boring bedroom. The neutral wall color will translate and coordinate with anyone’s furnishing style.

BEFORE bedroom 3
Not everyone can look at an empty room and imagine how it would look with furniture in it. Staging is a vehicle that enables the viewer to see how a room could be used…

BEFORE bedroom 4
Believe it or not this is actually a fourth bedroom, but the linoleum floor and absence of furniture would never give a perspective buyer this impression…

AFTER bedroom 4
With the linoleum replaced with plush new carpet, and the space staged with bedroom furniture, the rooms function becomes clear to the buyer. Smaller rooms are particularly important to stage strategically to increase visual size.

AFTER bedroom 5/office
This sprawling fifth bedroom is enhanced with furniture which illustrates how this multipurpose room could be used. The rear wall has been painted a bold color to balance the length of the room.

AFTER family room
The new carpet softens the family room dramatically. Furniture, window treatments and accessories transform the once barren space into a comfortable area for relaxing and entertaining.
