The staging materials allowance for this 1300 square foot condo was around $800 that includes the paint.
We added lighting, a ceiling fan, cabinet hardware in bathrooms, kitchen and laundry room and also changed sink fixtures and painted every room. No fuss low cost window treatments cover dated but expensive to replace verticle blinds.
We reused or repurposed many existing pieces such as the old and dated dining room table. Getting creative in the money saving department is a must in today's market so every penny saved is a penny earned for a client.

That splash of color on the white walls sure makes a difference in warming up those rooms. I love before and after pics. Have a great weekend.
Nice job, Ana... Wow...too bad you're not in Texas. You did an amazing job of re-purposing what they had.
Hi Anna, is this really the same house???? You took it out of an old era into the here and now! Your clients have to be in a state of bliss.
It really looks great, Ana! You worked wonders around those mirrored walls!

Getting rid of the levelors.....priceless! 100% improvement and now it's feeling very relevant!
Hi Robert, dingy white really is boring isn't it. You have great weekend too:)
Hi Claire, thanks, Texas would be a bit of a drive!
Hi Cynthia, yes the same place, and a small budget. I was and still am jonesin to get rid of the foyer light!
Hi Michelle, those mirrors make it so hard to take pictures, I am not such a great photographer. What was worse for me were the pink tiles in the hall border and the entire floors of the kitchen and guest bath. Hard to minimize and was not in the client's budget to remove.
Hi Kathy,
Actually the levelors are hidden behind the panels. The client had no money to replace them and it was not practical removing them because of the heavy hot sun that would beat in if they were removed. Now they don't have to be seen always and there is the choice to completely close the blinds or move the fabric panels back and forth depending on the angle of the sun. The real pain was making a rod that long and fitting brackets over them. My panels ended up being 5" short and required adding a border. One of my going wrong moments!
The changes are pretty significant given the lack of budget, Ana. Amazing what a little paint and rearranging will do. :-)
Great job, Anna, of repurposing and reusing what you were given to work with. This home is vastly improved with the help of your staging expertise.
Ana - An amazing transformation! I love the bedroom now - so glamorous with the new bedding and headboard. I also think painting the door dark brown really made a difference. You may have had to get beyond some obstacles, but look what you achieved!
Those window treatments really make a huge difference, Ana. Looks more expensive overall. Julie
Hi Cathy, that's the fun of our job, spreading magic!
Hi David, thanks for commenting. Low budget jobs are great learning experiences, I learn something new everytime and they are what make our job interesting!
Hi Michelle, spray paint and a staple gun are a Stager's BFF!
Hi Sally, thanks. The headboard really made a difference didn't it? Very easy to do and cost under $20. Painting the interior of front entry doors is one of my consistent Staging habits. I think it always adds a great punch to any house.)
Hi Julie, those window treatments were a PAIN. The bedroom ones were purchased at Target. When we got them up on the rod, because the pockets were sewn uneven they hung weird making the rods look sloped. Didn't have time to run them back, loved the shimmer in the material too so we fixed that with scotch tape:)
Ana
The darker colors do make a big difference. Buyers will love it too!
Hi Ana! You did an awesome job! Very resourceful too :)
Hi Cindy, thanks for stopping by, hope so!
Hi Wendy, thanks:)
Ana, it is so amazing what a little paint can do. Great job!
Thanks Amy, it is so hard sometimes to convince a client to paint and yet it is one of the easiest and least expensive changes with big impact! Have a great day:)
