Properly preparing your home for sale involves work to ensure your home is showcased to its potential. A professional home stager can guide you through the process and will make recommendations that will have the greatest impact while considering the budget.
Below are some before/after photos of a Rockford home that recently underwent a transformation for selling. The Rockford sellers painted, packed, and made minor repairs upon the recommendations made at the consultation with Simply Staged Inc. In this case, the sellers decided to do the work themselves and all of the work was completed before we returned to stage the home.

Nice work! I especially like the transformation of the family room.
Very nice work Michele!!!! Love the simplicity... Karol
I need to take before and after pictures of my listings, Thanks for the reminder!!!
Nice transformations using the items the homeowner already had.
Nice job! Important to show rooms as use specific. You really made a difference in this place.
Great job!!! I always love the kitchen makeovers!!!
Very Nice Michelle! You definitely made a difference. Sure to be a quick sale.
Great transformation....using mostly what the seller already had just wasn't using to its maximum potential!!
Great job Michelle, a lesson in simplicity and using what the homeowner has. Inspiring!
Looks great Michele! The homeowners were very smart to listen to your expert advice and did a great job making changes. Hopefully this will be a quick sale! Keep us posted!
Every room looks marvelous-especially the master and family room. Nice to see you back on AR! You have been a busy bee on FB! Always love your work Michele!!
Michele ~ Don't you just love it when sellers follow your advice? Your sellers did a wonderful job implementing your suggestions on preparing their home for sale -- and your accessories enhanced the home as well. Very nice transformation!
Thank you Patsy, Karol and Mannie!
Thanks Barb - we were able to create a dining room by borrowing a table from a family member and defining the space that was not being used prior to staging.
Thanks Donna & Lori!
Kathy, it's always rewarding when we supplement what the home seller already has to showcase the home - and of course budget friendly :)
Thank you Yvonne & Shelia!
Thank you Cathy! I was pleased we could borrow the dining table to fully utilize both spaces in this room.
Thanks Maureen. They worked so hard getting ready for staging day, and it really shows.
Nice job, Makes all the difference in the world when a home shows well.
You have done an excellent job, you had alot to work with and the changes look great.
The dining area really makes a huge difference! I love seeing that wallpaper removed from the kitchen! Great job!
Ditto to all the above. I've noticed a small trend: more sellers are really starting to listen and follow through on the advice we're given. Anyone else see this? Julie
Voila! A dining room where there was none!!! LOVE it! A great seller and a great stager make a fabulous team!!! Especially love the art work in the living room!
Hi Michele, I bet the sellers didn't know their home had such potential, your staging makes it welcoming, well done! That M/B looks inviting and the I love how my eye follows your touches of blue around the living room.
It takes a very good stager and an open, willing seller to make this type of transformation a success! Very nice use of color and scale Michelle!
Isn't it nice how even the simplest of changes make the biggest differences. I wish more sellers would get on board. Great job!
What a difference. You did a great job.
That house looks so dated in the original photos! That's one of the things I love about staging. Changing out accessories can make a home look much more modern. Nice job!
