Redesign Made Simple

Often, the thought of hiring an interior designer can be intimidating. How much will it cost? How does it work? I don't know what my style is! Stageworks' no nonsense approach to designing home interiors begins with basic good design elements. We then build upon those basics to create a specific style that expresses the soul of a house and it's inhabitants.

We start with a brief questionnaire to discover your style sensibilities. Then craft a plan to create a room you will love for as little cost as possible. We often can use much of what you already have with a bit of updating using fresh paint or fabric.

The Stageworks team, Nancy & Lauri, will redesign as many or few rooms as you wish. Just need a living room redo? No problem. We can do it in a day or two depending on the scope of the job. Shopping services are offered for a hourly fee. And we'll bring our tools for moving furniture, hanging pictures and we even may take on a small furniture refurbishing project....on site!

Redesigning your home's interior should be fun not stressful. Having two redesign experts at once makes the project move along quickly. And with very affordable fees, you won't find a more cost effective way to redesign your home.

Common Mistakes Home Sellers Make

Stageworks recently staged a home on the St. Johns River in Jacksonville. Sadly, the home owner had past away, but the family understood the importance of making the best possible impression BEFORE listing it.

Often we hear, "Let's wait to see what happens, and if it doesn't sell, then we'll consider staging it". This is a big mistake many home sellers make.

There are several reasons why staging before listing the property is the best plan of action.

• Those house hunters who first view the property will not likely come back to see it again after staging if the first impression was ho-hum. So, the sellers have lost the opportunity to wow those first - and possibly most interested - buyers forever.
• Statistics are clear that staged homes sell faster and by selling faster, there's no need for a price reduction.
  
• The photos of a staged home will grab online lookers much quicker than houses with empty or cluttered rooms.

Using much of what the homeowner already had, we created a warm and inviting environment. The goal is to create a flow to the home, eliminate clutter and allow the buyer to see how rooms work when furnished with just the right amount of pieces.

After the staging was complete, we walked through with the V.P. of Wachovia Bank's Trust Department. Her first comment was "It's really amazing, what you did makes the house seem more like a home. What a difference - you guys really have the touch!"

Before and After

The next step is to have professional photos taken of the home and place it on the market! We're sure this one will go fast.

Our Latest Redesign Project

Stageworks Home Staging & Redesign recently traveled to Hot'lanta to redesign a gorgeous home in the suburbs of the city. The owners had some great things to work with, and we only purchased a few items to complete the look. But we did move things around to create better flow in the home ... even though it involved lugging things up and down three floors!

Here are a few pics of the final results.
