Home Staging 101 " Art Ideas" Cleveland, Tn

Lets face it , where would we be without art & accessories. In Home Staging, having the right pieces to create a cohesive space is essential. A space without accessories & art , is like a cake without icing. Unfortunately it can get pretty pricey.

This gives us an opportunity to get creative. We begin thinking " outside the box". We usually are blown away by the creations we come up with, when we take that step of faith. Thats a BEAUTIFUL thing. In addition we save money..gotta LOVE that...

I"d like to share a couple of Home Staging projects I have done & hopefully inspire you to take that step of faith...We might not be a Van Gough, ,but we CAN do some simple art that works.

I LOVE to shop at the local Goodwill stores. There is a couple of reasons. I know that any purhase I make it's going to help someone locally. In addition I have found some of my most treasured piecesfrom the Goodwill Store.

This piece cost me $15 . I loved the retro lines. It was surprisingly in good shape. I sanded it down, painted it with a flat black paint. I then taped off 1.5" horizontal stripes in silver over the top & legs.

This piece had 6 drawers, I thought the diamond pattern worked well with it. I measured the center top.sides, & bottom, then taped off my design. I filled it in with the silver paint. Total cost around $30...

United Wholesale is another great place to find some really cool stuff. Most of the merchandise has been damaged in some way, so it is really affordable. I found this piece at United Wholesale. The finish had been scratched, and their was a corner chipped. (For future reference I will have b-4 pics...I know ...I'm bad about that..always an after thought)

It measured approximately 3ft.....brand new without flaws...this art would of cost hundreds in a design house...my cost $ 20. I simply sanded the finish & painted the surface a creamy white. I then taped off a 1" stripe and painted it black. The medallion in the center was in perfect condition... VOILA the ffinished product..total cost about $ 25.... I love Home Staging & I know you do too.

Home Staging in Cleveland , Tn.

Over the past few years has become quite the phenomenon. Networks like HGTV, has introduced some great shows such as "Designed To Sell", which educates the homeowner on the Do's & Dont's of selling their home.

Another informative show was "Remix Design". This is where a designer would come in select items the owners had & repurposed them. The result..A vibrant transformed space. These shows share their trademark secrets in how to market your home, and get top dollar. In addition show the average homeowner how to get a designer look in their own home, without breaking the bank.

Home Staging is all about maximizing the best qualities of the home. and giving the aschetics appeal, that most prospective buyers are looking for. The average consult is usually 1 to 2 hrs, costing on average, $100 to $200.

You will recieve valuable information on furniture placement, paint choices, and accessorizing. It creates a win win situation for everyone involved.

Redesigning on the other hand, focuses on repurposing exiting furnishings & accessories in the new space. This saves the homeowner $$$$ & minimizes the cost of any additional materials needed.

The result is a fresh, cohesive updated space. The fees are very affordable...Take a look..In this particular home, the cabinents were painted & the hardware was replaced.

New pendnant lighting replaces the old florescent fixture. A faux copper backsplash replaces the laminate.

I opted to resurface the exiting laminate countertop. It was sanded down and then painted with a silver paint , followed with a sealer.

On the front of the bar, I chose an inexpensive siiver roofing material to add some interest. The sink was replaced also. To redesign this space was under $ 1500.00.

You are now well versed in Home Staging & Redsign. When deciding on a Home Stger or Redesigner, I would reccommend visiting their website. Credentials are essential ,make sure they have some form of certification, or several years "hands on experience" , in the Desgin field. Their portfolio will show you their design style. Testimonials are important also, it gives you a good idea about the integrity & performance of the indiviual. Home Stager in Cleveland, Tn.
