CONSULTATION

Whether you are in need of Home Staging, Home Refreshing or other services, Marcia's first step is to discuss your needs and her ideas at an in-home consultation. The objective of this on site meeting is to produce a plan for success. Marcia works with homeowners to identify and solve problem areas and to ensure that the home reaches its potential for freshness, comfort and eye appeal. After working for at least two hours with Marcia, a you will have a plan for breathing new life into your home.

HOME STAGING

To create a show home that buyers fall in love with is the goal of home staging. On the market, your home needs to speak to the buyers. It needs to say: Bright! Fresh! Clean! Roomy! Your home needs to hold the buyer's attention and encourage them to linger. The following points work together to present your home at its best and are discussed during the initial consultation.

• Establish curb appeal
• Whisk away dirt and clutter
• Reposition furniture to gain a sense of spaciousness
• Pack away personal treasures and keepsakes
• Freshen up bedding and window coverings
• Eliminate unpleasant odor
• Replace flooring, counter tops, light fixtures and tile as needed
• Coordinate paint colours throughout the home
• Choose art and accessories to highlight a home's assets
• Shop for rental items to complete the show home effect

Marcia spends at least two hours working with a homeowner to produce a list of recommendations to make the house shine. Homeowners may choose to do all of the work themselves, or have Sunny Brook Home Staging return to complete the job. A popular third option is to split the project. This way the homeowner performs only the jobs he chooses and Sunny Brook Home Staging does the rest.

COLOUR ANALYSIS

Arriving at your home with paint samples, Marcia will recommend colours to enhance your living space, suggest colour combinations that work together, and even help you find painters to do the job.

HOME REFRESHING

When you are ready for a change, be it one room or the whole house, Marcia will work with you to create a space that you love to come home to, a beautiful welcoming place where you are comfortable with family and friends. Some times a home needs just a little sprucing up to make it fresh again. But where to start and how to actually see the job completed may pose such a threat that nothing gets done.

Sunny Brook Home Staging can help you set priorities and work through the details so that you have a home that brings you pleasure every time you walk in. While home staging prepares a house to appeal to those looking for a new home, home refreshing creates an up-to-date look, stamped with your personality and taste. The following points work together to refresh all or part of your home.

• Create a front entry that says you are home
• Deal with dirt and clutter
• Reconsider existing furniture and its placement
• Display treasures or collections
• Freshen up bedding and window treatments
• Eliminate odors
• Replace flooring, counter tops, light fixtures, and tile as needed
• Coordinate paint colours
• Choose art and accessories that you love
• Define and develop outdoor rooms

A consultation is the first step in home refreshing. Once a list of recommendations is compiled you can begin the refreshing on your own or have Sunny Brook Home Staging return to do the job for you.

HOME TRANSITIONS

The transition requires prioritizing and regrouping and can be emotionally distressing. For help moving to a smaller home Sunny Brook Home Staging offers home transition services.
