The Stage is Set

They say pictures speak louder than words.

I say "especially today."

The stagers are done doing their thing. Some of my chatting buddies requested pictures. This blog has been picture-free to date. But, today is one of those days when I need pictures to tell the story.

Our goal is for our house to look stunning and seduce a buyer. I assure you, it looked nothing like this when we actually lived here! I'd love to hear what you think.

Here we go.


When that lucky buyer turns the key and steps in, this is what they'll see. (Notice the khaki wall?)


Upstairs, they'll find the living room...


...and dining room (with another khaki wall!)


When they reach the top floor, they'll find our "very sexy" loft...


...with our million dollar view of the San Francisco Bay.

There's lots more to see, of course. But, those are the highlights. And, if that doesn't sell them, little details like this will surely seal the deal.


Here's a shot of our staged master bath. Looks lovely, doesn't it? (Of course, don't think about actually trying to do anything in this room, like brush your teeth or blow your nose. You have to dig for all that stuff in the cabinets underneath.) I must confess to a staging faux pas: I moved one of those towels out of the way of our cats with claws, so it's not hung correctly. (Gasp!)

Anyway, now look closer.

There are rows of buttons on those towels! Of course, we're not supposed to use them. Our towels are with our toothbrushes and kleenex...under the counter.

And, if buttons on the towels don't do the trick, I'm sure this will.


Yes, these are sitting just outside our shower...where the bath mat should be. And where is our bath mat? You guessed it. Under the counter!

Staging silliness aside, our house looks great. If it brings us a bigger or better offer sooner, then it's worth it. Time will tell.

Stay tuned!

(Now I remember why I haven't posted any pictures to this blog. It's a lot of work! Hope you enjoyed them.)
