We had some fun working with Ruth Vela with Avenue One this summer. One house in Belterra needed a few things shifted around inside to make some sense of the rooms that a bachelor was repurposing to fit his needs. There was no budget to bring in extra furniture so we had to work with what was already in the house. We formalized the dining area, rehung some art, relocated some furniture from crowded rooms into empty ones and made the music room a real destination. Ruth really tackled this job with all she had and certainly wasn’t afraid to roll her sleeves up and get dirty! I hope she gets a quick sale out of this one!

The next week Ruth had a tenant move out of another listing and we were able to bring in almost a full house worth of furniture to stage it. The master bedroom is enormous but the other 3 bedrooms are pretty small, so it was better to showcase 2 out of 3 of those rooms with furnishings so potential buyers can actually visualize what will actually fit. Sometimes people see small bedrooms and assume you can’t even get a bed in there, however we always use queen size beds to illustrate that you can fit normal furniture in these rooms. The intention here of course is to alleviate any doubt in the buyer’s mind.

Allison Cartwright with Twist Tours took all these after photos as well as most of the ones on my site! I love her clear, crisp images with wide lens that showcase the space without distortion. Just gorgeous!
