My latest staging project was SO-O much fun.  Great sellers, willing to haul furnishings back to their now vacant home.  House when emptied when their last RE agent told them that staging was a waste of time.  There was NO interest in the house when it was empty.  One showing in 6 months.  So now they have a new agent, the house is staged and I'm really pleased with the results. 

A year round creek (in CA thats rare) rumbles below the house which is more like a tree house.  Grand picture windows, built upon huge granite boulders. Taking a break while staging was a luxury. 

See more photos in my RES slideshow. Click here.  This is an awesome property and it is SOLD.

   This home is on over 2 acres, very private and has it's own tennis court, campground, built in barbeque at the picnic grounds (creekside) and SO much more.  How about a fireplace in EVERY bedroom plus in the gameroom and the living room.  

Just 15 minutes from the southern entrance to Yosemite, 1/2 hour from Badger Pass Ski Area and 5 minutes from Bass Lake.  Come to our Sierra mountain playground.

Awesome Ginger!!!!  I had clients that did the same thing, then upon my expert consultation :-) hauled about half their furniture back to the vacant and I staged.  There are realtors and there are realtors eh?

Kathy, thanks for the comments.  The sellers even supplied the silks.  If you look at the before photo of the kitchen you will notice an extreme excess above the kitchen cabinets.  I filled four 3x8x3 baskets with excessive silks and didn't touch the downstairs game room collection.  Hopefully they'll donate many of them to my business when the house sells, or I'll buy them CHEAP.  It truly is very unique!  Kind of a take your breathe away for those of us in CA where water is so rare.

Ginger What great place to stage !

Love what you did, specially the white furniture overlooking at the view. Nice Job!

Thanks Fernando it is a great place.  Can't take much credit for the sofas, except that the sellers wanted me to use their black leather set and I asked for the white leather instead.  The place really was dark and cold and the white helps "defuse" the very plush burgundy carpeting.  I LOVE using burgundy as my accent for many homes.

 The nice thing is that I already had many burgundy accents and accessories and those that I had to purchase will fit it great with my inventory.  A real PLUS.

Ginger ~ What a great job you did making this home warm and inviting!  It does look just like a tree house and I love how you did the bedroom....I want to stay there and hear the water in the creek gurgling!  What is the asking price of this property, if you don't mind my asking?  What a location!

I have seen this before, but the realtor told them to get rid of it, so the clients then had to rent furniture. After I staged the property the realtor was fired. TRUE STORY. The house sold in 4 days after being on the market for 9 months without staging.

Me too Maureen, but actually it has too many stairs for us old folks.. the creekside setting and the 2+ acres of property are absolutely awesome.  Have to admit that I revisit this one whenever I'm driving by.  The current price is $910,000. It could NEVER be replaced for this price.  The property alone, I would guess is probably worth $400,000.  But then I'm not a realtor.  Can you tell how much I loved it?  Have to go back this week, now that we've had substantial rain...I'll bet the creek is a roaring torrent!  Wish I knew how to put video clips on AR so members could hear the sound.  

Phyllis, the second realtor on this property was foolish.  Glad to hear that you had great results with your similar job.  I love having my inventory in this house but I also hope, for the seller's, that it moves soon.  Thanks for stopping in.
