A Little Laura Ashley Love

This bedroom belonged to the owner's son.  The son moved out and I staged his bedroom as a guest room.  This is a double bed with a king size Laura Ashely bed treatment on it.  I adore this comforter set. It was in my guest room before I donated it to this project.  Isn't Laura's Toile print pretty?  How perfect is it with the grey paint?

AFTER

The bed was moved to the back wall to make the room appear larger. I borrowed the black end table and brushed nickel lamp for another room in the house. 

BEFORE

The before pictures will make you appreciate the simplicity of how I staged the of opposite side of the room. The four small prints on each side of the windows are black and white botanicals with distressed frames.If I was decorating this house, I would have placed the 4 pictures as a group over the bed.  However, since pictures of this room will be shot from the doorway and buyers enter through the doorway (duh), the pictures flanking the windows look best on the back wall. Capisce?

I wish we could paint furniture for staging.  Can't you picture the bookcase painted a glossy white?

The only thing salvaged from the opposite corner of the room was the bookcase.  Before staging a buyer might not have noticed the architecture of this room. The sloping ceiling is a unique selling feature.

My anthem is that we are selling square footage and it has to show.  Open your space up when  selling your house.

Have an incredible day!
