Make a Home Feel Young Again With Staging

May 27, 2014 (posted by Jennifer Campbell, Home Staging Calgary)
Remember the late 80’s and “Lovesong” by the Cure? Don’t laugh, but I figure it could be the theme song for a Woodbine bungalow villa I staged in Calgary. I’m so proud of the work we did to professionally stage the vacant home. Before staging, it felt tired and old. After staging, we made this home feel young again. Then it sold.
 
Take a look at the before and after photos in the Set Your Stage Woodbine photo album on Facebook and you’ll understand what I mean.
 
Just for the fun of it, while you view the power of home staging for this particular property, listen to Lovesong and notice the lyrics:
 
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

When potential buyers viewed the property after staging, they could see some of the older features, but the space felt young again. Young buyers could imagine themselves there, especially for a first home purchase. Perhaps a renovation would be required at some point, but potential buyers would know that they could easily live there in the meantime without doing any major work. Which means that they wouldn’t need that extra money right away either.

Staging makes it easier for a potential buyer to fall in love with a property for sale. As much fun as it is to reminisce with an old song that brings back memories, most people don’t want to live in that past. With professional staging, I was able to make this property feel young again.
