Making-It-Real Home Staging
A few deals drop along the way, but in the end two buyers fight over this very “real” property.
It sure does take longer to sell than anyone would have expected, but this is the reality of the real estate market. Fresh paint, wallpaper removal, refinished hardwood floors, new carpeting, and updated light fixtures are the main focus of this home staging project.
We finish with a deep cleaning and staging using the 92-year-old home owner’s personal items, art, and furniture. A few new pillows, bedding, towels, along with new chairs for the kitchen, and an air mattress for the master bedroom are the only items purchased.

Making this home feel and look real–and not staged–is always our goal.
The home owner is the sweetest woman you could ever meet, and her daughter Barbara manages the entire project from 3,000 miles away. We even perform the initial consultation with Barbara offering guidance by phone, as she knows every inch of this 1,900 square-foot two-bedroom condo on the water’s edge in Rye, NY.
Here is what Barbara has to say about the staging and experience of working with AtWell Staged Home:
“You are a genius. Truly, I am grateful beyond words for your dedication, eye for detail, kindness, patience, and flexibility.
Your work is a masterpiece, and I am so grateful that you created such a perfect “look” for the condo. We’ve received lots of compliments, and those belong to you. Perhaps the greatest accolade came from our very own Realtor who recommended we go with the higher end price based on how well the home shows.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! The place looks and feels so good that I want to move in.
Please use me as a reference as needed. You do great work and provide phenomenal service. I have only good things to say.
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!”
Below are the before-and-after pictures. Except as noted, every space is staged using just what we find in the home.

I just can’t help myself and add a touch of whimsy with a pink lobster pillow on the pink chair. When a home has an ocean view, how can you not bring in a subtle reminder?

The dining room is accessorized with wine bottles. The brand? Why “90+” of course. (Again, I couldn’t help myself.)

The mirror over the master bed, acting as a headboard, looks great but also reflects the room’s ocean view.
