Staging A Kitchen

January 28, 2011 (posted by Jennifer Campbell, Home Staging Calgary)
Calgary Kitchen Before Staging

Before: Although this kitchen looks beautiful and clutter free, staging can add some life.

Did you know that 52% of home buyers polled by Procter & Gamble’s survey said the kitchen had the most significant impact on their purchasing decision?

Sometimes it’s the small things that make the most significant change. By strategically placing and removing key items in your kitchen, you can add that extra WOW factor.
Calgary Kitchen After Staging

After: By clearning the countertops and adding some colourful fruit to the countertops,
this kitchen is ready for sale.

– Sunroom

Birds Are Decorating Now?

January 24, 2011 (posted by Jennifer Campbell, Home Staging Calgary)

Check out this article, “Birds’ plastic nest décor carries a message, scientists find” from www.worldscience.net. I’m curious, what do you think? Do you believe this blog that says birds are decorating their nests to communicate to others? I think they add the plastic for warmth.
