Incredible Transformation!

This has got to be one of the biggest transformations I've ever been involved with! We did a consultation on this Westchester home several months back. My assistant was overwhelmed when she first arrived, as it was hard to know where to start! But we dug in and gave the owner a comprehensive list of things to do, including painting (a color we selected), decluttering and rearranging. We also provided her with a quote to come back to bring some furniture for the family room and dining room and some acccessories once the basic work was done.

After a month or so, the Realtor let me know that the painting had been completed. He was amazed at the difference that just the paint alone had made, especially in the family room which was previously covered in dark wood paneling! We scheduled a Staging date and started our prep work. As the date drew near we worried that when we showed up for the Staging that all the furniture we had asked to be removed would still be sitting there, adding hours to our estimated Staging time. We had hired a couple of big guys to move a few items around within the home (the owner had told me that part would not be done), so we figured they'd be there in case of emergency. When we arrived we walked into the front of the home and were relieved to see most of the large pieces gone. Unfortunately once we got to the back room, we saw where they had put everything! The entire room was FULL of books, boxes, extra furniture, old records, a giant pink chair and basically everything that had been moved out of the rest of the house! And the best part was that the furniture delivery guys arrived just at the same time that our moving help arrived. Of course the stuff the delivery people were bringing was supposed to go into the room that was full, so we were all in a mad dash to get everything loaded OUT and into the garage so that the movers could bring in their stuff. It was a race and we did it!
