Screened Porch Before (Used for Storage)	After DeCluttering & Staging

Even during colder months, the porch should be merchandised to show buyers the lifestyle charm and allow them to envision themselves enjoying the porch after they purchase your house!

The solution was simple: we uncovered the two windows that are now visible - very important for buyers to see the views, of which this house had an abundance. We showcased the spaciousness of this porch with a simple vignette utilizing the owners' porch furniture. We added the greens from other rooms in the house - for a simple and affordable stage. Once the boxes were removed, the staging took five minutes to position the furniture. This simple stage added thousands of dollars in appeal and price to the fast sale of this house (over asking price with multiple offers).
