The homeowner didn't believe adding white wold update the space and she was blown away with the result. This house sat on the market for 6 months with no offers. Once I staged it , it sold in 2 weeks. The buyers were a family who had walked through the home months before, when it wasn't staged. They thought it had been redone, but no. I just tricked them to see the positive aspects of the home, not the negatives. Staging is more than just filling a room with pretty furniture. It's about training people's eye to look at what you want them to see.
