Staging in the Kitchen


In real life, kitchens need toasters and microwaves and canisters of cooking utensils.  In real life, our kitchen counters are littered with yesterday's mail, bags of bread, and the milk we have yet to put back in the fridge.  However, when it comes to home staging, that all has to go away.  That's right...staging is NOT real life.

When I work with clients in kitchens, we're constantly finding a place for all the items that normally have a spot on the kitchen counter top.  We're putting it all away.  It's amazing how quickly a kitchen transforms when all the other (normal) distractions are out of site...

Counter tops that are clear and empty really show off a kitchen.  Now, when potential buyers view the home, they'll notice the spacious counter space, and not yesterday's mail.
