A DOZEN OF OUR PICKS FOR A PRETTIER COUNTERTOP

HAPPY EASTER, friends! Stacey here. On Friday I shared one of my favorite (and simple!) go-to tips for making your home feel put together and stylish – decanting! Decanting items really is one of the easiest ways to freshen up your space. Now that we’re spending so much more time at home, having a space that brings joy is more important than ever. So today I'm sharing 12 of our favorite items that will pretty up your countertops while not breaking the bank. First up, soap dis

Bedrooms – The Masterly Master Versus the Guest… And a Note on Closets!

Welcome back! #ShelterandStagewithKLH It’s (still) Day 7 of Shelter and Stage with KLH! (I think? Does it even matter?) Time to talk bedrooms! (My personal favorite!) Close your eyes and dream of your perfect bedroom oasis… You’re seeing your favorite wall color, the most plush bedding, a variety of pillows, colorful art, photos of your favorite people or places… Now open your eyes and come to the realization that this is staging – not living! Save your plans for your dream b

Awkward Nooks, Spaces and “What is THAT?” Features

Welcome back! #ShelterandStagewithKLH It’s Day 7 of Shelter and Stage with KLH! Yesterday we talked about staging office spaces… So today seems like an ideal time to talk about awkward nooks, spaces and features – especially since many times, we turn our awkward nooks into office spaces by using furniture pieces like a leaning desk accompanied by a chair. (This is just one of many solutions for the awkward nook or wall space!) Whether it’s new construction or a historical hom

Day 6 of Shelter and Stage with KLH - Today's Focus: The Office!

Welcome back! #ShelterandStagewithKLH It’s Day 6 of Shelter and Stage with KLH! Let’s talk about staging office spaces. If you had asked me just a few weeks ago if it was more important to stage that spare room as an office or a guest bedroom, I probably would have told you a guest bedroom. However, is there any room more important than the home office these days? If you’re staging your home over the next few months, and you’re trying to gear if you should stage a spare room

Easy and Inexpensive Ways to Update Your Bathroom

Welcome back! #ShelterandStagewithKLH Let’s talk a bit more about bathrooms! More specifically: Dated bathrooms! While it’s not as difficult to stage newer or recently updated bathrooms – dated bathrooms are another story. Let’s talk about a few easy and inexpensive ways to update your bath! (Now, I’ll admit – I haven’t tried all of these – so I made sure to also include some additional tutorials that are very well reviewed!) 1. Old grout? Paint it! Painting grout is an amazi

Day 5 of Shelter and Stage with KLH - Today's Focus: Bathrooms!

Welcome back! #ShelterandStagewithKLH It’s Day 5 of Shelter and Stage with KLH! Let’s talk bathrooms! Just as hotels use white items to reinforce the idea that they are clean, white in the bathroom makes things look fresh and new! But your bathroom can’t just APPEAR clean... Start by giving it a good scrub! Wash your mirrors, counters, toilet, shower and/or tub thoroughly. If you have windows in your bathroom, give them a good cleaning to allow as much natural light in as pos

Day 4 of Shelter and Stage with KLH - Today's Focus: Living Rooms

Welcome back! #ShelterandStagewithKLH Let’s talk about one of the more important rooms in your home: the living room. Your living room is most likely located very close to the main entrance of your home. Therefore, it will be one of the first rooms potential buyers see… So, stage it we must! Also, statistics don’t lie! Staging the living room was found to be most important for buyers (47%), followed by staging the master bedroom (42%), and staging the kitchen (35%) (2019 Prof

Day 2 of Shelter and Stage with KLH - Today's Focus: Kitchens

Welcome back! It’s day two of our 14 days of home staging tips! #ShelterandStagewithKLH It’s time to talk kitchens! Before even thinking about how to stage the countertops, it’s so important to start by rolling up your sleeves and cleaning! Top to bottom! (Literally, actually.) Start by dusting the top of your cabinets and the blades of your ceiling fan (if you happen to have one). Wash the outside of your cabinets and polish your knobs, handles and pulls. Remove everything -

Welcome back! It’s Day 3 of Shelter and Stage with KLH! #ShelterandStagewithKLH Today’s focus: Dining rooms! Right now, your dining room may look like a home office – or perhaps a school... Yikes! Hang in there! Hopefully, we all get our dining room tables back sooner than later. (Mine is currently covered with a 3,000-piece puzzle.) Dining rooms are relatively simple to stage because the idea is less is more… The hardest part is typically decluttering! One of the rules of st

Shelter and Stage with KLH: Entryways!

Welcome back! It's just day one of our 14 days of home staging tips! #ShelterandStagewithKLH Today’s focus: Entryways! First impressions are so important. The entryway – or foyer – is quite literally the first impression of your home. (The inside of your home, that is… We’ll talk curb appeal another day!) Your entryway must be appealing. It is the first step to help potential buyers establish a positive and emotional connection to your home. In just a matter of seconds, poten

Now Offering: $200 Virtual Home Staging Consultations!

These are challenging times! On Monday, March 23rd, Governor Charlie Baker ordered all non-essential businesses and organizations to close by Tuesday at noon for at least two weeks. Although this is not an official shelter-in-place or stay-at-home order, the Department of Public Health advised all residents to stay home as the number of coronavirus cases continue to rise. (Inhale... Exhale...) What about real estate-related businesses? Are those businesses considered essentia
