sometimes a house just needs a little
bit of staging before it hits the MLS so
[8]
today on this episode of Melanie Loves
Tampa Bay we're gonna go through that
[11]
process and I'm gonna give you some tips
for a light sea gene on a budget
[20]
hey everybody Melanie Atkinson realtor
with Smith and Associates here in
[25]
beautiful Tampa Bay Florida today we are
on location at one of my new listings in
[29]
Palm Harbor so it doesn't matter whether
a listing is three million dollars or a
[34]
hundred and seventy-five thousand
dollars whatever it takes to get a house
[38]
ready to hit the MLS is what I'm going
to do and today I had a great
[42]
opportunity to show you guys some light
staging tips now some houses are perfect
[48]
from the get-go the people that own them
have wonderful style we take pictures
[53]
and it all goes very smoothly sometimes
if a house is vacant we bring in a
[57]
professional stager and that's something
that I do a lot for houses this
[61]
particular house is one of those unique
circumstances where there's already some
[66]
furniture here that we can work with and
some accessories that we can work with
[70]
so what I'm gonna do is repurpose some
of that stuff add some of my own staging
[75]
items and just get the house ready for
pictures tomorrow so really the main
[81]
goal with this particular light staging
is to neutralize some of the colors that
[85]
we have here in this house we have some
break curtains so I went actually to
[90]
Ross yesterday and got some white sheers
that are gonna be super easy to put up
[94]
they were not expensive at all there's
no reason to spend a lot of money
[97]
whenever you're doing light staging the
other thing that I use all the time are
[102]
white towels for bathrooms they do a
great job of giving a bathroom a
[107]
spa-like appearance these are towels
that I actually just keep in my garage
[111]
and use them for staging the Orcutt is
it also another great thing for
[116]
bathrooms they look great in the
reflection of a mirror so again this is
[119]
just another piece of staging materials
that I have that I use for people's
[122]
houses
anyone who has listed a house with me
[125]
knows that I love lemons in the kitchen
I call them my lucky lemons lemons allow
[130]
for a really nice pop of color
you're neutralizing a kitchen so I love
[134]
the yellow that a lemon brings out the
other thing I got yesterday from home
[139]
goods is this rug it's just a neutral
color I'm gonna put this in the kitchen
[142]
I think we'll see what it looks like
once we get in there for the most part
[146]
the key to light staging is really just
to create some accent pieces in your
[151]
rooms to make the the space look homey
and that's what we're gonna do today I
[156]
can't wait to show you guys the during
and then show you the after
[171]
so this will bring in the silvers and
the Grays in the kitchen so I'd like
[177]
these better I was going to use them
with a master bedroom but since it's not
[183]
making quite the impact that I wanted
[187]
with just the one panel because they're
sheers I'm gonna do two on each window
[195]
because this room is super important
sees where you're getting the house
[209]
ready it's really about to neutralize so
the next thing you want to do which
[212]
might take a while is put a painting on
the wall
[219]
that's very helpful because I forgot my
level today so one and now I gotta get
[228]
the other one in in the right spot level
which is always the tricky part first
[232]
ones easy I'm gonna check to see if it's
level cuz very anal yay
[314]
Wow what a transformation I'm so happy
with the way this turned out this was
[319]
not really a hard staging project
definitely falls in the category of
[322]
light staging but I think it makes a
huge difference all we did was take out
[328]
some of those bright colors that would
be distracting and we added some neutral
[332]
colors and we added some accessories
that really make this room look homey
[336]
and inviting this is something that
anybody can do and you should do it even
[341]
if it costs a little bit of money to get
some neutral items into your house you
[346]
absolutely need to do it before you list
your house I hope you learned a lot from
[350]
