Here is a project we worked on in Linden, NJ. The units are beautifully done and when we asked what the demographics were, we were told young, first time buyers and older professionals. OKAY SO WE NEED TO APPEAL TO BUYERS WITH A LITTLE TRADITIONAL FLAIR AND A LITTLE MODERN EDGE...Here is what we did!

We chose a unit on the first floor and second floor. We staged the unit on the first floor a bit more traditional and then showed the buyer how the unit on the second floor, which had a "BONUS SPACE" would look decorated with a modern flair

LR/DR....UNIT 1

LR/DR UNIT 2..also notice the "BONUS SPACE OFF THE LR"

MASTER BEDROOM AND BATH UNIT 1 which is staged for the traditional buyer

MASTER BEDROOM AND BATH IN UNIT 2 which is staged for the young buyer with a modern edge

SECOND BEDROOM IN UNIT 1...This was staged with a twin bed and writing desk since Unit 2 had the bonus space for an office

SECOND BEDROOM IN UNIT 2...This was staged with a daybed to welcome guests

Kitchens in both units were fabulous!

BUT WHICHEVER STYLE SUITS YOU, YOU  HAVE TO ADMIT THAT THEY BLOW AWAY THIS NEXT STYLE WHICH SO MANY BUILDERS AND SELLERS ARE STILL USING......VACANT!!! WHICH APPEALS TO NO ONE!!

Okay, okay you have heard me say it thousands of times, REMOVE THE WALLPAPER, buyers don't want to deal with it...wallpaper is like getting a tatoo, it is a great idea at the time but a painful process to remove!! SO WHY DID I WALLPAPER THIS ROOM?? Let's take a look!

OFFICE SPACE BEFORE....Too many shelves, clutter and GOLD VEINED MIRRORS! What's the solution?? Lose the deal, take down and replace ALL walls, Paint and risk chipping or......

OFFICE SPACE AFTER...I had this product called Paper Illusions that mimics a faux finish and was specifically made to go over hard to cover surfaces. By matching the wall color in LR, you now have an updated look. JUST DON'T GO HANGING ANY PICTURES ON THE WALLS!

LIVING ROOM BEFORE...The fireplace is a bit dated but we needed to work with what we had...SOOOO, we removed the gold trim, matched the tile color by using a beautiful color called Cup of Cocoa on the walls and ceiling, removed the mirrored corners and tile on floor as well as ALL LEVELORS. Look at the results!

LR AFTER...Updated, fresh, clean and MOVE IN READY!

DINING ROOM BEFORE...same 80's Style

DINING ROOM AFTER...Carry the same carpet and paint colors throughout the space, remove the levelors and replace light fixture...ELECTRICIAN went after my pics were taken and you have a whole new space!

KITCHEN BEFORE...Look at those backsplashes, that is NOT TILE!

KITCHEN AFTER...Much better now that floor tiles have been removed from the backsplash

When selling your home it is sooooo important to update all your outdated features. The investment will be worth it when that buyer walks through the door and says THIS IS IT!!

I have to give a SHOUT OUT TO MY TEAM MEMBERS on this one! On Monday morning myself and my assistants Al and Andrew showed up at this home and began the tedious task of removing wallpaper. My fabulous moving company, All Jersey Movers, were there packing, decluttering and putting the many pieces of furniture I asked be removed, to their storage unit. Tuesday, my painters showed up and Sunday, the best flooring company around, headed up by Michael Vasko installed the hardwood flooring. Yes I said Sunday, and they stayed until it was COMPLETE and the house was ready for it's photo shoot on Monday afternoon. This meant them staying until 10:30 that evening. Now THAT'S A TEAM YOU CAN COUNT ON EVERYTIME...Here are the fabulous results

ENTRY FOYER BEFORE...Long, dark and dated. Not a very good first impression

ENTRY FOYER AFTER...WOW! The staircase is FABULOUS! Always was, but the busy hallway distracted buyers from seeing anything else

DINING ROOM BEFORE...The room seemed more like a library than a formal dining room.

DINING ROOM AFTER...SO MUCH LARGER AND CHEERFUL, YET ELEGANT

KITCHEN BEFORE...Too many things distracted buyers from seeing the granite counters

KITCHEN AFTER...Once the wallpaper, lighting, furniture and decorative items were removed, the granite counters now become the STAR of this kitchen

SMALL HALL BATH BEFORE...Okay it has gray fixtures, but the pink wallpaper DID NOT HELP!

SMALL BATH AFTER...still the gray fixtures, but fresh, clean and updated feel

THE MASTER BEDROOM WAS LARGE BUT TOO MANY DISTRACTIONS KEPT BUYERS FROM SEEING THE SPACE

MASTER BEDROOM AFTER...REMINDS YOU OF A RELAXING WEEKEND AWAY AT A FABULOUS BED AND BREAKFAST

THE GUEST ROOM WAS ACTUALLY MY FAVORITE TRANSFORMATION...BEFORE IT WAS JUST WAAAAY TOO BUSY

GUEST ROOM AFTER....BUYERS UNPACK YOUR BAGS YOU ARE HOME!

THE FAMILY ROOM APPEARED SMALL

FAMILY AFTER...Once the large entertainment center was removed along with replacing the rugs with hardwood flooring, the room is now large, welcoming and updated

THIS FABULOUS HOUSE WAS BEING HIDDEN BEHIND MY WONDERFUL CLIENTS (WHOM WE LOVED) PERSONAL BELONGINGS. BUYERS COULD NOT SEE THE BEAUTY THIS HOUSE HAD TO OFFER. PRIOR TO THE THE RENOVATIONS AND STAGINGS, THERE WERE ONLY TWO SHOWINGS ON THE  HOUSE. THE REALTOR COULD NOT GET BUYERS THROUGH THE DOOR.

Okay this was a biggy both for my team and the client. As you can see the clients were pretty overwhelmed with the prospect of preparing their home for sale. Sometimes all it takes is someone to come along with a plan and alot of helping hands. ENTER THE TEAM OF RESTYLED TO SELL.....

LR BEFORE....The clients personal belongings combined with poor furniture arrangement did nothing to enhance the selling features of this home.

LR AFTER..Now this space welcomes buyers in

The Kitchen is opposite this open LR and together they now make a GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION! My team had been at the home one week prior to staging and painted the kitchen walls which were a dark green color. Now the cabinets are the STAR of the room!

Dressing up your Master Bedroom is as simple as crisp, white bedding with a punch of color carried throughout..OKAY maybe the dog should not be on the bed, but SHE REFUSED TO MOVE!

MBR BEFORE

MBR AFTER

Girl's Rooms are usually filled with posters and paraphernalia that screams THIS IS MY SPACE!

When selling your home you need to stage so that ANY LITTLE GIRL will want to call this HER SPACE

BASEMENTS SHOULD NOT BE FOR STORAGE ONLY. THEY ADD VALUABLE SQUARE FOOTAGE TO YOUR HOME AND NEED TO BE STAGED TO SHOW BUYERS HOW THE SPACE CAN BE USED.

WHO WOULDN'T LOVE HANGING OUT WITH THEIR FAMILY IN THIS BASEMENT?

Today we staged a lovely home in Newark, NJ. When the sellers first called me, they were in the middle of doing many extensive renovations of the home. My client thought that she may want to stage the property herself and she actually called rental companies and had received quotes based on the items she thought she would need.

When I did my consultation, I found many key items in her basement and then ONLY ORDERED pieces that would compliment their furnishings and home. I ACTUALLY WAS ABLE TO SAVE THEM MONEY AND GET MORE ITEMS FOR THEM.

LR BEFORE: A long and narrow room leaves buyers wondering how to set up their furniture for intimate conversation 

LR AFTER....I found this couch and area rug in their basement. The client had the fabulous piece of artwork which tied the whole color scheme together. I only needed to order accent chairs, table and lamps. My accessories mixed with the clients accessories completed the look

The KITCHEN BEFORE....The clients had done a beautiful job on renovating the kitchen, it just needed some pizazz..

Red will do it EVERYTIME..

The Parsons Chairs were also in their basement.

The Master Bedroom came to life when we found the beautiful wrought iron headboard and oriental screen. The client also had a great wicker rocker and decorative trunks in the basement, all we needed to bring in was bedding, nightstands, lamps and accessories to complete the master retreat.

When the Team of ReStyled to Sell is called on a Home Staging Consultation the first thing that we look at is HOW CAN WE MAKE THEIR HOUSE COME ALIVE BY USING THEIR ITEMS...That is the most fun that we have as we search diligently through basements, closets and garages. Here is what we came up with on a house we staged this weekend.

The clients had some vacant rooms that they were looking to stage. They opted to purchase some of the larger items like couch and chairs for living room. The other items were either purchased by me for a minimal fee or we found them around their home. 

The Living Room Before had no appeal to a buyer as they entered the front door. The client purchased the Sofa, Chair and Lamps, while the other items were taken from other parts of the house

The Dining Room Before lacked drama. The client purchased the tablecloth and centerpiece. Everything else was found throughout the house.

The white curtains were removed to showcase the beautiful windows. In the after angle you cannot see that but I wanted to show you the view now from entering the home.

The Kitchen was beautiful, but appeared cluttered and cold. By adding color, swapping out chairs, table and artwork (also found from around the house) the room appears much warmer and inviting.

KITCHEN AFTER...

The Family Room presented a challenge as the clients had a large TV and couch, winding staircase, and a curved wall of windows...

FR BEFORE did not highlight any of the home's selling features.....

FAMILY ROOM AFTER....Did you notice the fireplace before??

The first part to selling any home is getting people in the front door to see it. WHICH PHOTOS WOULD HAVE MADE YOU CURIOUS ENOUGH TO COME SEE THIS HOME??

Well when the walls are bare and flooring is not in you cannot stage the house. So how do you show buyers how beautiful the space can be?? SIMPLE, DRAW IT OUT FOR ALL TO SEE!

ReStyled to Sell Home Staging Experts are the only staging company in NJ that offers Design Illustration.

My assistant and design specialist, Al Iacono, was called in to consult on this home which was being sold PRE CONSTRUCTION. The builder has all his design elements chosen but to date none of them have been installed. He gave Al all the details and colors and Al put together the following for him.

This is what a buyer has been looking at. Would you buy this home?

From this picture it is clear to see that this house is going to be difficult to see because VERY FEW BUYERS will actually be able to envision what this space can be. CAN YOU??

Well maybe this will help? We are getting warmer....and YET...

LOOK AT THE FINAL ILLUSTRATION...This illustration LEAVES NOTHING UP TO BUYER, but clearly lays out the builders plan for all to see

From the tiniest detail, Al was able to bring the builders kitchen to life. Notice the mosaic tile behind the range. The pendant lighting and hardwood flooring are just some of the details that are displayed fabulously in this illustration. Granite countertops help buyers imagine the wonderful evenings of preparing meals for loved ones.

This fabulous drawing will now be displayed in the empty space for all to see. The realtor no longer has to explain to buyers that the counter will be here and the hardwood flooring and granite counters will be this color. The buyer can now see it all!

The Team of ReStyled to Sell Home Staging Experts has always advised builders NOT TO SELL THEIR HOMES WITHOUT STAGING THEM. We have helped many builders stage their vacant properties and saw them receive offers very quickly.

The worst thing a builder can do is to try to sell a vacant property. BUT NEVER SELL PRE-CONSTRUCTION HOMES without giving the buyer some kind of vision.

DESIGN ILLUSTRATIONS takes STAGING to the next level, by revealing your homes hidden potential. Please visit our website at www.restyledtosell.com and click on DESIGN ILLUSTRATIONS to view some additional projects that Al has helped clients with. Please note that DESIGN ILLUSTRATION is for the occupied home as well.

We had the best time staging this fabulous condo in Bayonne today. The weather was great, the boats were sailing by and the staging plan was coming together without a hitch. Not always the case as many of you may know.

This condo had an open floor plan, which for many buyers is almost impossible for them to imagine how to set up their furniture. Tying in the paint colors and white cabinets in kitchen may also have been presenting a problem to buyers.

The Team of ReStyled to Sell accepted the challenge and here are the results!

The LR/DR/Kitchen area Before. The Master Bedroom is in the back of this large room

LR/DR/Kitchen Area After.....

By using colors of light green, blues, white and brown the space looks clean, young and fresh. Spaces have been defined and now buyers can imagine themselves AND THEIR FURNITURE in the space.

The Master Bedroom before left buyers wondering if they could fit a full size bed in here.

The Master Bedroom appeared so much larger with furniture than it did without furniture. We were able to stage this room with a King Sized Bed.

The Second Bedroom off the Living Room seemed like a great place to have a home office. But what if you have a young child or need a guest room? Can you fit both??

Of course you can, simple staging shows off this rooms size and gives buyers a vision for both a bedroom and home office.

If you have a house that has been sitting on the market could it be that buyers just cannot imagine themselves living there??

When staging a house to sell it is so important to dress the space to make it warm and appealing to buyers. Here is home we just staged for one of our builders. By placing furniture and accessories to highlight the features of the room, this kitchen comes alive and any buyer can imagine themselves cooking in this space or enjoying a quiet breakfast with their family. 

Take note in both pictures of the kitchen we show the buyers that seating for 4 around the table is possible as well as seating at the island for that quick cup of coffee in the morning

After a meal, a buyer can imagine themselves retiring to the family room to enjoy their favorite TV show

Buyers will love to entertain in their formal living room which welcomes their guests as they enter the home

DOES YOUR VACANT HOUSE WELCOME HOME BUYERS OR ARE YOU LEAVING IT UP TO THEIR IMAGINATION?

Besides breathing life into a vacant home, the options offered to builders/investors for staging helps builders in this economy. HOW YOU MAY ASK?? You may recognize some of the furnishings from previous jobs. Yes, it is the same furniture and here is why. The original lease agreement that builder chose was a 6mth agreement. Did you know that during those 6mths furnishings can be transferred to another property if the previous one sold in that time frame?

This builder was thrilled with that agreement as this is the THIRD HOUSE that has been staged with furnishings from the original lease agreement and he still has ONE MONTH TO GO...3 SOLD HOUSES, 1 LEASE AGREEMENT, a deal that cannot beat!

When staging your house to sell, oftentimes sellers think they need to get rid of their OLD, OUTDATED furniture. I SAY, NOT SO! The Team of ReStyled to Sell Home Staging Experts will work with what you have by dressing it so that is appeals to a larger number of buyers.

In this master bedroom the furniture was black lacquer with a platform bed. The furniture arrangement was not right so the first thing we did was place the bed on the larger wall so it becomes more of a focal point.

I liked the wall color and the floors were nice as well. I recommended to the client that she purchase a white comforter with black and white accents and a touch of green to tie into the wall color. She did a fabulous shopping job and once it was all pulled together the seller now had a master retreat that she can enjoy while her house is on the market.

We found this great lamp in her living room and the rug, chair and ottomon were in her den. You will notice that the larger white comforter I had the client purchase now HIDES the platform making the bed more inviting as well as updating the look

The Team of ReStyled to Sell will save you time and money! If you are thinking of selling your home DO NOT DO A THING until the Home Staging Experts of ReStyled to Sell see your house first.
