Helping a Bachelor in Portland Stage his Vintage 1908 Home ~ Before & Afters

As professional home stagers we work with a variety of clients (realtors, homeowners & investors) but some of our favorite clients are bachelors … they often need our help as a resource to prepare their homes for sale.

Room Solutions Staging in Portland Oregon was recently contacted by the listing broker of this 1908 vintage farmhouse bungalow, who asked if we could help the bachelor owner;  he had basic furniture but needed accessories, art & some addtional furnishings.  We met the delightful bachelor owner of this charming home and gave him our recommendations for easy cosmetic repairs, a list of items to remove, and scheduled our staging day for two weeks later.  When we returned, he’d moved out all of the “excess” furniture, hired a cleaning company, completed some painting & landscaping ~ and the home was ready to stage.  We enjoyed this transformation and hope you do as well.

You’ve seen the typical bachelor’s home with a big TV in the living room ~ this home was no exception; we wanted to open up the space so that buyers could imagine living here, so the TV had to go …

Another view of the living room from the entry hall showed a lack of color & energy ….

Master Bedrooms need to appeal to the target buyers, especially women viewers …

And who can forget that women buyers are interested in a clean, tidy kitchen?

And we’d all like to have a gracious Dining room for entertaining family & friends ….

This basement wasn’t being shown to its fullest potential so we repurposed the owner’s existing pieces to show buyers how the space might be used …

Homeowners who partner with their listing agents and hire professional home stagers will benefit by having a home that is prepared to SELL in today’s challenging market!
