Curb Appeal Potential

Somewhere in western New York, I have been hard at work helping to get a house ready for the market. I have been selecting paint colors, new carpeting, new flooring and new light fixtures. It is looking so GOOD!

Except for one thing….the curb appeal 

Try as I might, I cannot convince the owners to cut those bushes down. One long stroke of the chainsaw would improve that curb appeal by 100%.  I just don’t get it. Listen to your home stager – we provide an objective point of view.

Now that this photo is posted,  I have either convinced them or I’ll be fired – one or the other.

Decorating a model patio home

This beautiful patio home was empty. Once The Home Stylist added the appropriate furniture and accessories, the whole place became much more inviting.

Staging a vacant house can make a big difference in the appeal to potential buyers. Let me help sell it.

Staging a vacant house

Here is a great example of bringing in furniture and simple accessories to make this room so much more inviting.

The bare room below has no personality, no sense of space and no buyers.

Do you have a vacant house you are trying to sell? I can help you make the buyers fall in love with your house.

Show House Teen girl’s room

I had so much fun doing this teen girl’s room for the 2009 Junior League of Buffalo’s Decorators’ Show House.

Here is another part of that room:

The custom made  black vinyl decal frames were so popular (b/c they are re-positionable)  that they are now available on my website’s Style Store
