I think this before and after is a great example of staging a home. The first picture looks alright, there’s some nice furniture and interesting elements in the room. But truth be told, it looks more or less like a place to toss your purse, not show off.
But the second pic, wow! Not a lot has changed, the basic layout remains the same. But with the added pops of color and the graphic black and white fabrics, it definitely grabs your attention and says “Look at me!”
Glad to oblige.
Thanks to Christy at A Lil’ Welsh Rarebit for sharing!

October 30, 2009 at 5:22 PMYou are absolutely right. The addition of the rug and the pop of color with the runner alone make the room sing.

October 31, 2009 at 10:02 AMGreat before and after! I love the choice of colors! The wall color, the dark wood of the furniture and the gorgeous black and white rug. The green runner makes the room pop!
I would love to dine in this room.
