Sneak Peek at a Heritage House to be Staged to Sell

Our company, Exit Stage Right, has been called in to stage this lovely, heritage home. I'm so excited to be staging this home for sale. I'm a huge lover of heritage homes. My own home was built in 1919, not old by Eastern standards, but pretty darn old for here in the West.

The home owner was telling me that this home was built in 1914. The home owner has lovingly restored this home over the past 11 years, and this has clearly been a labour of love. All the wainscotting has been completely restored and looks stunning. The floors are the original fir, and have been beautifully refinished.

There are nooks and crannies everywhere, and beautiful, original built-ins. The bathroom has been renovated, but in keeping with the style and age of the home, including a claw foot tub. There's a beautiful window bench, overlooking a stunning view of the North Shore mountains. The basement remains unfinished, but I would imagine could easily be turned into a suite.

My plan is to compliment and highlight the rooms with home staging accessories and artwork. I'll go with a transitional look, neither too old fashioned and traditional, nor too modern. There will be hits of "bling" and a cheery colour scheme throughout. I envy the lucky person who buys this special home.

Don't forget to check back to see the "after" photos, showing how we transformed this home from a swan into Queen of the Swans.
