This week on Unsellable Houses, we worked with our client, Robbin, to help her get top dollar for her dated Marysville home by transforming it into a cozy vintage cottage.
Here are the materials and finishes we used to bring our vintage cottage design to life! To shop staging, décor, and artwork used in this transformation – check out our “Shop the Look” blog for this episode.

The Staging
Why staging is important!
- Make the home feel inviting and allow buyers to imagine what life would be like living in the home
- Help people see how to use certain spaces in the home
- Show how large a room is by placing furniture that fills the space without feeling crowded
- 40% of buyers are more likely to view a staged home they saw online versus an unstaged home
- 20% of buyers increased their offer on a home by 1-5% because of the home staging
