staging: the great deception


In an effort to drum up some interest in our house, we're staging some rooms... at least long enough to take a picture. It's very duplicitous, this staging thing. As you can see from the photos. These rooms are right next to each other. You would never know that the tastefully neutral living room would lead right into a hellish electronics dumping ground/playroom.

Incidentally, did you know there is an International Association of Home Staging Professionals? I love that it is international. Need someone to help you stage your yurt? Just contact the Ulaanbaatar chapter of the IAHSP.

Seriously, though, if you know anyone who is moving to Houston and would like to see my house, let me know! I promise the electronics will be cleaned up. Free swingset, too.

That IS funny that there is an international org. of stagers. I never knew there was such a thing as a professional stager...

you're also going to need that spray that makes everything smells like freshly baked cookies.

at least you don't have cat stink to mask!

My friend's sister's husband just got a job in Houston and they'll be moving from Utah in a few weeks. I think they're coming soon to look for a house, so I'll let them know about your home. I have no idea what they're looking for, but it might be perfect timing? Who knows? If they're interested I'll let you know.
