Making my first furniture sale...through staging!

I just came off of a great summer with lots of busy staging projects. But I received the coolest news a few days ago - one of the buyers wanted to purchase some of the furniture I used to stage the home. Which is perfect!

You see - I am fortunate enough to have a wonderful furniture store as my partner in staging. They have allowed me to rent their new furniture for use in staging projects. The idea behind it is that someone will be so moved by what they see that they want to just purchase it all. And it finally happened!

I selected this neat mid-century feeling bamboo table in the dining space. The table is round as in the picture here, but each section 'opens up' to a corner, making the table go from round to square. Its very cool!

During staging, I remember saying to myself that the buyers HAD to purchase this table and chair set - it just goes perfectly with the space. AND they did - how cool is that! They love the table and chairs and are interested in a few other items. It feels good to know I can stage a home to not only to sell it...but the furniture too!

I would love to be able to sell furniture everytime I stage - that way each property will have its own look and feel. People will be encourage to purchase new furniture with their new home...and I, along with other stagers, would have more leverage with furniture stores to use their furniture in my projects too! A win-win all the way around!
