Have you ever walked into a home and had something hit you as just off, not right or just didn't fit in with the rest of the home? All of us have, and this home was no exception. I was called in on a Home Staging in Santa Barbara, CA which had been almost totally renovated. New floors, new skim coat and paint, new recessed lighting - then I saw "it". "It" was brass, and crystal, dull and dusty. "It" was already the replacement of what was previously there because the family had run out of money to finish the home before it went on the market. I even offered to REPLACE "It" out of my own money. "It" just wasn't working with the rest of the house... But "It" was a non-negotiable item, it had to stay...

So I EMBRACED "It", and I must say it was one the more difficult Home Staging jobs trying to plan décor around a 20 year old crystal and brass chandelier to make it work. But I think we did a FINE job. Adding a little glitz and glamour, it now looks right at "home".

We added the great beveled mirror to add some drama and brighten the room, added crystal decanters and glasses to the buffet table, and brought that attention into the Living room with glass ball table lamps and candlesticks.

Home Staging Leads Buyers...






Upon entering this house as a Buyer looking for a home, where would you go from here? Human nature would say, "To the left, that's where the living spaces are." However in this home the floor plan is flipped. Guest bedrooms are on the 1st floor, the Kitchen, Living spaces and Master bedroom are actually located on the 2nd floor.


Following their instincts, Buyers and Realtors when looking for a huge kitchen and living room would immediately turn left to three empty bedrooms, and were a bit befuddled. Once Buyers and Realtors DID go up the stairs this is the area they would be "welcomed" by. Would you be interested in this home? Nobody else was.... So for seven months this house that is located just steps away from Ventura Beach sat on the market with little interest.


So after taking the home off of the market for a short period, partnered with a new Realtor and a grand marketing plan, the new Realtor suggested that the home should be Staged. She had worked with us on a prior property just a few blocks away, which sold in 3 weeks - so she was confident in the results Staging would be able to present.

Now after Staging, if you were a Buyer entering this home, THIS is what you be presented with. The eye is brought to the right where the entry table and marketing materials are located and spotlighted. The plants and artwork immediately bring your eye to LEAD you up the stairs, to be presented with THIS grand living space. Yes, Home Staging DOES lead the Buyer, but only in possative ways and to the right places and focal points when presenting your home for sale.
