I like the idea of staging but I think it could be a little risky. When we were looking for this house, I was glad to see the actual size of the rooms. The first thing I did was to imagine where I'd put my furniture. As it turned out, we bought mostly new furniture, but I didn't know that at the time.
I think if there had been furniture here (even if it would have been in a style I like... therein lies the "risk" part) it would have made buying a more difficult decision because each room was perfect in my mind since it was a blank canvas. |
