Last week our team staged a home in Downingtown Chester County PA for a new show on the Fine Living Network, Today we filmed the after shots of the rooms we staged. Take a look at the difference staging makes... I will keep you posted on when the show will air.

On the set staging the dining room.
The foyer before. Too much mismatched furniture.
The foyer after. Simple and streamlined.

Kate-
1. You look Marvelous!
2. WOW the afters are amazing!!
Great job!! I can't wait to see it air!! Love you miss you
Hi Kate,
Congratulations...keep us posted. The property looks great...as usual.
Kate - Congratulations. What a great opportunity! The B&A's are fantastic!!! and you look great. Can't wait to see it on the tube.
I love how you brought the deep red from the dining room into the living room. It really brings continuity to the space.
Hi Kate - Looks great - when is the show? Margaret
Well... my humble and professional opinion I think the pink and purlple pop-up play house SHOULD stay in the living room. It ties the room together. ;)
Otherwise GREAT job. I really like the staircase and the mirror.
Can I have your autograph?

Funny, I was going to comment on the pop up tent but Craing got here first.

Hello all,
Thanks for your comments. It has been a crazy week here so I just around to reading them. The show will not be on until the Fall.
Too funny about the Chanel thing- THAT IS WHY I PICKED IT :) It is Nanette Lapore and when I saw it I thought it looked like vintage Chanel- always staging on a budget.
As for the purple play house, it is now in the master bedroom- JUST KIDDING.
Thanks for all the kind words. I will keep you posted and thank you all in my Emmy speech ; 0
The house is now on the market and my client emailed my yesterday with her reaction to the staging:
You have completely transformed my home! I have trouble finding the words to express my gratitude. The entire time I have been living in this house I have struggled with how to make the space feel good and how to make the furnishings work. I suppose what I was lacking is the talent and vision that you posses. The biggest surprise was that you were able to use so many of the items I had. Moving the Couch and chair and adding the slip cover along with the accessories you brought in really did create a polished presentation. Now I know the fundamental principles of making a space appealing. I will enjoy living here until the sale is complete. The unexpected bonus is my home looks so fabulous I am trying to schedule as much entertaining as possible before I move! The feedback we received during showings was so positive and I have no doubt that we wouldn't have found our buyer so quickly had it not been for your hard work. You did a terrific job!
Her kind words are such a reminder of how we are not only helping people to sell and market their homes but change lives too. I will keep you all posted on the sale. KH
