PRUDENTIAL NW PROPERTIES
LISTING AGENT: KIM DITTLER
LIST PRICE $309,000

Immaculate home in Murrayhill on quiet cul-de-sac. Dramatic vaults & natural light, open floorplan. Remod kitch w/ granite counters, SS appl, & pantry. Fam room w/ gas fireplace, lam floors, faux wood blinds. Master w/ vaults, w/i closet, dbl sinks, xtra large shower. Slider to large level fenced yard w/ deck & garden & close walk to shops!

The transformation: this living room was once used for a kids playroom. Once decluttered, a couch borrowed from the family room, coordinating pillows of burgandy and purple made this space inviting.  

The chandelier in this dining room was too high and the back wall too empty.
The light was brought down to table height and the cabinet borrowed from
living room area was moved with new installed burgandy fabric behind glass.


The family room appears to have more space without the extra couch.

Wow, decluttering makes such a huge difference!

AFTER












Before the fireplace was hidden with too many items and a couch partially blocking it and the view to outside. By decluttering and rearranging the furniture, bringing in some color (pillows) to coordinate with the artwork, the room now is eye pleasing and shows off the space.  

BEFORE


AFTER












This bedroom was once crowded with huge furniture pieces. By removing the big bulky canopy bed and placing the mattress on a simple bed frame allowed the master bedroom to appear larger. We used a wardrobe mirror laid horizontally over the bed for an art piece.

AFTER











Wow, what a difference decluttering can make! This cost of this staging transformation was simply for a bed frame and a few new pillows.
