Home Staging

A few months back we went and hung out with our great friends {who own Modern Manor} while they staged a home. Staging a home is quite the task, especially when they were given a total of 24 hours to complete said task! Our friend is an incredible realator and wanted help with getting this home in tip top shape to sell fast, so in came Ryan and Kylie. With them owning Modern Manor and having access to furniture, and staging homes before, they were such a perfect fit! They started with a completely blank slate, and here is how it all turned out..

Recognize the miners cart? Its because it is the cart that we made a few months back!

Don't worry, J and I didn't just stand around and watch them work. We helped out a little too:) For example, J helped Ryan level and hang a lot of the art:

And as you can see, I helped too. I made fists, and demonstrated canon balls, just like in the art.  What would they have done without all my help!?

One thing that we learned by watching them work is how much quicker you can decorate a home when its not yours. When we buy stuff for our house we contemplate it, analyze it, ask for opinions, and then possibly weeks later actually buy it. We want everything to be exactly perfect, to be in the right spot, to be the right height/color/size/shape/etc. When you are staging a home you can make fast decisions. You know what will look good, so you go with that, but it doesn't have to be perfect. Man, I wish we could sometimes act more like our house was a staging project so that we could actually get all of our rooms finished, but then again-thats part of the process and why we love our home so much, isn't it?
