Stagers fees are paid by the Insurance Company

Not really but the owners feel that way.

I'm working on a condo of a lady who's carpet must be replaced.

We feel that with the large stains, that appeared out of no where, are so unsightly that the carpet must be replaced.

stained carpet

 

The owners daughter was very upset when I suggested that we have to replace the carpet.   She wasn't so upset when I suggested that they file and insurance claim. 

Isn't that what insurance is for?  They are supposed to handle the unexpected accidents that happen.

 

]The insurace company is paying replacement costs for the carpet minus the $100 deductable.   The owners now think I'm the most wonderful person in the world. 

 

We are waiting for a check and then we will finish up the project.

I'm flummoxed with these two rooms- help me

Stage-Show-Sell, LLC is working on another Estate.  This one happens to be in my home town of Bloomfield Hills.

We specialise in homes where the families generally live out of state and can't do the work that's necessary to get the home on the market.

Many of the rooms look "normal" with tons of wallpaper and old paint.   These two rooms are a bit of a challenge.

1960's Laundry room

 

This is the first floor laundry that's trapped in the 60s.   The wall paper is now gone and I'm working on a new laundry cabinet & sink and floor. The cabinets above are small and not really appealing.  We can paint the cabinets white or toss them out. My problem is that they are small.   The lower cabinet will hold a large can of soup.  The upper would hold two cans of soup back to back.  Am I better off painting them or tossing them and putting in two plain shelves to hold the cleaning supplies?

 

mud room gone amuck

I've seen this kind of hording before with this generation of owners.  They have been through two recessions and several depressions and can't throw anything away.

The paper, flooring and cabinet have now been tossed out.  The room is next to the laundry and garage.  A door where I'm standing with the camera and one on the left going into the garage.

What do I put in there to show that it's a mud room?  A catchall for coats, boots and other outdoor gear? This house has 5 bedrooms so I'm assuming that buyers would need such a roomThe fix would have to be economical and most of it removable to keep the costs down.

 

Dark dark paneling you must go

Dark paneling was a status symbol for years.  We think of it as being rich.

Rich is may be AND it's dark.

I had a difficult time convincing the owener of this home to paint the paneling.  Now the room looks twice the size.

How Stage-Show-Sell saved this home from DIY

The home owners son has been working on the Do It Yourself project for over a year. Stage-Show-Sell came to the rescue.

The homeowner moved out of state and the well meaning son was working to get this house ready for the market.

The small home has few cabinets and the refrigerator and stove looking lonely by them selves

Adding a few cabinets and art made the room feel much bigger

Oak cabinets and the mircowave on the counter shrunk the room

good bye oak cabinets

Painting out the cabinets opened up the kitchen tremendously

To the right of the kitchen is a laundry room that left a lot to be desired. A full wall of open cabinets made a big difference

I realize that showing this photo is a little unfiar. Trash cans don't belong in the kitchen.

The home owner doesn't want or can't afford window treatments
