Whether your home is on the market or getting ready to list, it's important to know that one of the key rooms that buyers will pay close attention to is the kitchen. Why? For most, the kitchen is the 'heart of the home'; a place that family and friends will gather. As a result, you can expect buyers to linger longer in the kitchen than in almost any other room in the home.
Our objective when we stage a kitchen is to turn it into a show-case of a room. We want them to envision using this room with their own family and friends. Choosing the right accessories can play a critical role in how the home appears to the buyers.
Here's a before picture of a home we staged approximately a week and a half ago. See below for the after pictures.
Here's the room after we staged it:
The picture below shows the eat-in area as well.
And here's a close-up.

Yeah! I get to be the first one to tell you how stunning your work is, Kathy. The kitchen looks gorgeous. Your staging adds so much yet is subtle and tasteful. Congratulations.
Beautiful job. That is a gorgeous kitchen. It definetly looks much better with your touch. Great job.
I'm honored, Michelle. Thanks for your very kind words.
Chrissie - Thank you!
Kathy
you do such wonderful creative things. I would never have thought to put artwork behind the stove. It must be because I could see my husband splashing spaghetti sauce all over it.
We live in a home one way -- we stage another
Kathy, BEAUTIFUL!!! I need to purchase more greenery, it really warms up a space. Thanks for sharing.
Kathy ~ Just beautiful! You've really highlighted this kitchen.
A beautiful kitchen made more FABULOUS by your staging. Always love your work, you are a truly great stager. I hope that one day we have the opportunity to meet! Continued Success!

Kathy ~ This is a beautiful kitchen, but it looked dull and drab before .... your staging made it come alive! The close up photo is my favorite!
Love your new logo! And beautiful staging. The close up is my favorite too.
Virginia - I'll place artwork behind the stove in homes that I know will be vacant. I tried doing it in my own home (silly me) and it was quickly removed by the cook (smile).
Donna - I should own stock in the companies that make greenery as I have tons of it. But like you said, it really does help to warm up the space!
Thanks, Kathy P.
Phyllis - If you ever have a chance to come to Atlanta (or through Atlanta), please let me know. I'll do the same if/when I head up north as I'd love to meet you.
Thanks, Maureen! I like the close-up as well.
Terrylynn - I'm glad you like the new logo. I had it created for me and simply told her what I was after.
Kathy
Kathy, you took a beautiful kitchen and made it feel GRAND with the perfect accessories. The kitchen feels much richer/high end, and one that any cook would feel spoiled in. Great job!
Kathy, this kitchen is simply gorgeous! It was very nice before, but you made it really stand out! Great job!
Teresa
Kathy, you really brought out the best in this kitchen and eat-in area. It's gorgeous!
Thanks, Michele. I love making homes look grand!
Teresa - It really is a beautiful kitchen! It was a complete honor to make it even more spectacular.
Thanks, Tanya. The Realtor fell in love with all of the rooms which is such a great compliment.
Kathy
There ya go again Kathy, making me say WOW!
Excellent! I love making you say "wow", Terry!
