Recently I had the opportunity to assist in staging a house coming on the market. The property: single family home in Oakland just remodeled by Dogtown Development. The work they did on the home was incredible. It is so cozy - I would move there in a heartbeat! In addition to redoing the house and yard, they flipped the garage into a working studio/guest room. Cool!
I assisted staging the living room and the foyer. I pulled the art for the house as well. Staging is fun but challenging. You need to work with what is available in the developers warehouse.
I purchased a few items but was on a tight budget. Developers want to spend as little as possible on staging but still make the house look spectacular.
And the outcome... You need to appeal to the realtors, developer and buyers - it's not as much about edgy design or your personal taste.
Here are some of the before and after shots:

These last two photos are of the work studio & guest room. I love the ceiling.
Amazing what good staging can do for a place!!!
