Do you remember my
Home Staging Action Plan? Well, I finally decided to get my butt in gear and start tackling a few of those home selling projects!
So far, I've finished the
Spring Cleaning (except for washing the windows), and applied a fresh coat of white paint to the interior doors and trim work.
But, the project I
really want to share with you is my NEWLY STAGED HOME OFFICE! This room had a
very blue accent wall and a
very personal decorating style. I started off by removing all of the artwork and accessories, and painting the entire room in a neutral, 'buyer friendly' beige.
To enhance the feeling of a warm and inviting home library, I decorated the armoire and fireplace mantel with a collection of books and englsh ivy.
The artwork I'd been planning to use ended up being too small, and just didn't work in the space. So, I made a trip to Michaels for some larger canvases, pulled out my art supplies, and quickly whipped up two simple abstracts to take their place.
Even though the paintings are hardly awe-inspiring, they do help create the sense of balance I was looking for, and make the room feel... complete.
So, here's a little reminder of what the home office looked like BEFORE...
And, here's the newly staged, AFTER version.
The room is calm and serene, and even feels larger now. I have to admit, I think I actually like it better this way!
I guess only time will tell whether or not my NEWLY STAGED HOME OFFICE has that all important, mass market appeal I was aiming for.
And now, it's on to the next project... dealing with our living room's dark and dramatic feature wall!
