June Staging Tip
Many buyers are now expecting granite countertops in the home that they hope to purchase. However, installing granite is not always financially feasible for every seller. This seller used a service called Miracle Method to transform their countertops. It’s a finish applied to the existing countertops; it takes two days and costs much less than replacing!
We also suggested that the homeowners paint the beadboard paneling white to fit in with the style of the home.

This is not a remodel that we did, but one we consulted on.
The contractor needed help with the layout of the kitchen to create
the a good flow with adequate countertops and storage. We did a consultation which included a floorplan and finishes.

This kitchen is from the same home as the living room featured in our last staging tip. Granite countertops, a tile backsplash and new flooring make all the difference. We also replaced the mismatched appliances with stainless.

August 2012 Staging Tip
Granite prices have come down significantly in recent years, and because many buyers expect it in the home they want to purchase, regardless of price range, you may consider replacing your dated countertops.
Doesn’t it make an amazing difference? We also had the homeowners switch their pulls and light fixtures from brass to nickel.

This is the kitchen from the house we featured last month. New wood floors made the most significant impact. We also painted the cabinets, added granite countertops and painted the walls a much warmer color.
November 2011 Staging Tip
Laminate kitchen cabinets with wood trim can feel very dated. You don’t need to replace all the cabinets to have a nice looking kitchen. Simply painting the wood portions of the cabinets and adding pulls can have a great impact! 
We just finished this complete kitchen makeover with a warm wall color, wood floors instead of carpet, granite countertops that extend over a new breakfast bar, and a gorgeous tile backsplash. See our December blog for more before and after shots of the entire home.
May 2011 Featured Before and After
This kitchen struggled with old cabinets, minimal counterspace, an old stove and very dated flooring. We painted the walls and cabinets very modern shades of gray, which we tied together with a glass tile backsplash. The flooring was replaced with environmentally friendly marmoleum and black granite countertops that we extended into unused space that now hosts 2 barstools.
April 2011 Featured Before and After
Outdated kitchens are hard for buyers to see past when looking for their new home. At this house, we removed the wallpaper and painted the walls a soft yellow color that worked with the original 1920’s backsplash. We also updated the cabinetry by painting it white and replacing the pulls. A little decluttering finished up this kitchen.
