This living room is from the same home as the kitchen in the last post. Notice that while doing the granite we also extended the bar area to provide more seating. This home does not have an informal dining area, so this small change will make a huge difference in how buyers see the home!
BEFORE
AFTER
To save the homeowners some money, we reused their existing seating, but replaced the dated end tables and brass lamps with a more current style to update everything. We also had the homeowners add draperies to soften the hard angles and frame the view of the St. Croix River. And lastly, we angled the layout to open up the room. If you can avoid it, you never want buyers to enter a room looking directly at the back of a sofa. It creates an uninviting feeling to the room.
