        Tablescapes
Simple to Complex
 
Tablescapes should have focal points. Often these are a center piece. Most often:
    Floral arrangements
    Candles
    Potted plant decorated
    Fruit displays


Keep in mind colors and theme.

When using wine bottles as part of your staging, remember to select ones that are colorful. Do not buy a cheap wine, for the buyers will interpret this as that you are also cheap in how you have repaired and maintained the home.

 

Making Your Kitchen Striking

The # 1 Room influencing Buyers’ Decision

Socializing and family life has shifted to the kitchen. Where buyers’ picture themselves talking with friends and preparing gourmet meals.

Kitchens have now become the Center Stage for home life and entertaining.  No longer a closed off room where food is prepared and then brought out to another room.

 

Lifestyles have changed, as well as, buyers expectations. Stage your kitchen properly and you will be surprised how beautiful it will be, regardless of age.  You will not need to spend tons of money or remodel your kitchen to make it Center Stage.

3 Steps to Creating  Fabulous  Kitchens

 

The first step, involves making the kitchen appear larger; that it has more room than it presently appears to have.  This involves, reducing clutter and items on the counter tops, as well as removing extra pots, pans, and other stored items in the cabinets.

 

Second step is the proper cleaning the kitchen.  Windows, floors, countertops, appliances and cabinets.  This is the least costly, but most critical of the three steps.

 

The third step is adding the Wow.  Staging the kitchen. flowers, fruit bowls, and new kitchen towels. Add a little Sex Appeal  to entice your buyers.

 

Develop focal points that buyers’ will remember later.  Distinguishing your home from others.

 

Beautiful and Enticing Tablescapes

 

After completing steps 1 and two, you're now ready to set the stage. Create a beautiful table setting for two.  Choose how complex you wish this setting to be, based on whether you will be setting a beautiful dining room table and how often you have family sit down meals at the existing kitchen table.  If the kitchen table is where you feed the kids ever morning and have all your evening meals; then you want to choose a sample tablescape that is easy to put aside when you having your meals and reset (stage) after your meals.  Simplicity is the key to this type of setting.

 

Centerpiece

The centerpiece of this focal point may consist of a nice floral arrangement or a decorative piece such as an attractive fruit bowl. 

  • Naturally, you will have new place mats, linen napkins with napkin rings raffia tied around them.  Perhaps a rose placed in the napkin fold. 
  • Glistening glasses and polished silverware. 
  • Flatware may consist of a salad plate in-set into the dinner plate. Be adventuresome.
