Staging for local home builder - our first ever!

Two weeks ago, I was contacted by a Realtor for staging a newly constructed million dollar house, and to keep expenses down, was only looking to stage ONE space within the home. In line with a topic from a previous post, I informed him I could definitely stage one area in the home. I met with the new Realtor that afternoon and reviewed a beautiful home in McLean, VA.. Here is what I found:

Yes, the realtor asked to stage the landing – which is large enough to be its own room, as it seemed to be confusing potential buyers. I had a few ideas of what to do with the space – study area, reading room, kids play area but given time and budget, I narrowed down and decided to do it as a reading room.

I submitted the contract and received a call 2 days from the builder?! I didn’t know the Realtor was representing the builder…but they were pleased with the proposal and ready to make it happen. SCORE! So I got my ideas and accessories together to put together the following space (of course, I couldn’t hang anything from the walls…:-(

Hallway landing turned into lounge area, just off the balcony!

We were glad to be able to give this once ignored space some definition and purpose within the home…and are super excited to be able to stage for a home builder. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for ra reDoes rooms and DC area home builders!
