I’m a member of Active Rain, a national online networking site for agents, and there are all kinds of blogs that talk about staging. One in particular highlighted not so much the usual work of staging but rather the ability to identify the difference between a historical look and a dated look. It’s a good topic because I think there are times that a property owner thinks it’s just fine to leave a house in the condition it’s in because it was the original look of the home and it is appropriate for its decade or period in which it was built. I personally don’t agree.
Here is a great book (via the link) called Interior Desecrations that is a hilarious look back at some of the painful designs of the past.
If you recognize any of your home fixtures or furnishings you might want to consider an update!
