June 2012 Staging Tip

In homes that only have 2 or 3 bedrooms, it is ideal to stage them all as bedrooms.  So if you currently have one set up with a different function, clear it out and create an inexpensive bedroom using airbeds:

bed 1
Start with a double high airmattress and cover it with a bedskirt.

Bed 2
Top that with a single high airmattress to bring the height up to that of a normal bed.
Bed 3
Now add your normal bedding and lots of pillows.  Instant bedroom!
We created a headboard as well from 2×2’s, batting and some fabric.  Make sure to use nightstands and lamps to finish off the room.  Hampers, tv trays, stacked old luggage, or crates can all make fine nightstands.
