Staging a small Cabin in the Mountains

This week I staged a small cabin in the mountains that is going on the real estate market today.  The cabin is very small and very dark and the agent I was working with wanted it to look cheerful, light and cozy when potential buyers walk in so they could envision living there.  

Living room before:
Linoleum floors and dark wood
After:
Please excuse the boxwood wreath on the fireplace-I meant to move it and forgot before I took the pictures!  LOL


I added white curtains and a small eating area 

A Round light colored coffee table  and a white slip covered couch help lighten the room 

Before:
Long dark wall and corner 



Long table with lamps and a large light canvas help lighten this wall 


It was very difficult for me and my limited photography skills to get good pictures with the dark walls and windows 

Before:
After:


A tall lamp and light colored table with a few accessories add some coziness


Looking in to the kitchen from the front door

Cozy eating area that overlooks the front yard

Bathroom:


There is another bedroom downstairs, a bathroom and the kitchen that I did not stage very much and so I didn't take pictures.  


It was a fun cabin to stage with my limited resources, but I think it looks cute and cozy now and that is what I was going for!

Aqua Blue Vanity/Desk


This past weekend I finished painting this desk/vanity for a client.  
Before:
My client had bought the pair of matching dressers for her daughter's room  (  HERE ) from me a few weeks ago and she wanted a desk for her daughter and asked me to be on the lookout for one.  I found this one that I thought would be a great addition to the pair and my client thought so too.  I mixed up Coastal Bliss and Marshmallow Cream from  The Urban Rooster and painted the desk with 2 coats.  I gently distressed the edges and sealed the desk/vanity with AS clear wax.  


I had a difficult time getting good pictures because my client came to pick it up when I was done and I didn't have much time to snap  the after photos. 





The Hydrangeas from my neighbor are still going strong!
