Praise!

Just finished a staging job of a really unique property... I met with the realtor and client to see their reactions of the finished product. "Amazing transformation", "Open and bright", "Beautiful", "Fantastic"...all things I was very pleased to hear! The property was built in a Spanish/Mexican style with an open design and archways throughout the interiors. A lot of the walls were done in white stucco. The original paint colours that the clients had were definitely truer to the architecture of the home as they were bright and bold, but may have limited the number of people that want to see and buy the property based on the very definite style of the home. I love jobs like this - unique properties REQUIRE your creative juices to flow! You have to find that balance between the style that the original architecture dictates and the modernity of today's styles of interiors that potential buyers look for. Basically in a property that may have a divide of potential buyers between "love it" and "hate it"...you want to mitigate the latter! You want to play up the strengths and beauty of the property and eliminate anything that may be distracting or jarring. This home had lots of natural light, a gorgeous open concept and tons of space. All definite pluses that needed to be showcased in a way that appealed to the target demographic as a whole - not just the buyers that wanted a home fashioned after a hacienda.
