The Staging Fashionista Blog: The Power of Decluttering!

The Power of Decluttering!

Check out what the power of decluttering can do to a room.   I love staging occupied homes and simply using the homeowner's items and making their home look better.  It is affordable for the homeowner and fun for me.  Sometimes just simply decluttering does the trick and other times it requires more extensive treasure hunts throughout the home to find items I can use for staging.  The Staging Fashionista staged this little girl's room.  Don't you just love the power of decluttering!

I too LOVE working in loved and lived in homes.  It is so fun to see the home owners' faces when each room is transformed.  Thanks for the post and sharing the sentiment.

Hi Anita - It's nice to see a fellow stager that loves the lived in staging.  I agree the excitement of the homeowners and their happy look is priceless.  Thanx for stopping by.

Hi Mary Lou - this was a staging in an occupied home.  I actually like the lived in look as well - I think it adds character, charm and reality.  People live in homes not showrooms!  Thanx for stopping by.

Taking down the drapes makes a difference!  And of course clearing everything off!  Nice job.  Did the homeowner like the fresh look?

Mannie,

The little girls room looks so cute now!  It is sure to appeal to all the little girls that come through that house!

Hi Linda - the home owner didn't want to change the paint color so I work with what I have and left it as a girl's room.
