Before & After: Staging an Occupied Home in Portland OR ~ SOLD for full price!

A savvy Portland couple knew that hiring us to stage their occupied home prior to listing it would make it more appealing to potential buyers who viewed it in the online listing photos and in person.  This home was a pleasure to stage because the existing furnishings were lovely … it just lacked, in the homeowner’s own words, “that WOW factor!”  My goal was to bring in just the right accessories and to use what they already had in creative ways.  The sellers gave us free reign to use anything we wanted, wherever we wanted.

We helped the homeowner select a new sofa and then removed the extra furniture that was distracting us from one of the main features of this room ~ an amazing view over the Portland neighborhood of Mt. Tabor towards Mt. Hood.

We re-purposed several pieces of furniture from other rooms of the house and added our accessories, trees, the canvas print above the sofa, etc.  Adding color was important to give needed warmth to the room.  The sellers were happy with the transformation and hope that potential buyers will be as well when this property hits the market! 

UPDATE:  This home SOLD for full asking price!
