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!

Wow does that room look bigger!
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 Debra - the room looks bigger and it can now breathe!
Mannie,
What a great transformation. The picture tells it all.
Marianne
Mannie - what a excellent job you did. The room looks entirely different.
Congratulations. Your home staging is being featured in the group Staging Before and After Pictures.
Kathy
Hi Marianne - thanx so much1
Hi Kathy - thank you again for the feature!!! You are too kind!
great photo and I love the lived in look. Was this for staging or just a declutter. Great job
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?
Hi Debra - the homeowner loved it! She had no idea the room had so much space! Thanx for stopping by.
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.
WOW.....your soooo right the POWER of editing out the "stuff" that makes for clutter made this room go from tacky to cute!! Congrats!
Nice work Mannie! Congratulations!
Thanx Kathy & Allegra - I appreciate your comments and for stopping by.
