It's Day One of a one-month challenge where I show and tell about wall art as an aid to home staging.
I'm participating with a group of other bloggers who want to stretch their creativity in any area they choose. I chose "art for home staging." Every day this month I'll be posting about one aspect of one topic -- how to use art to make your home look better to buyers.
Although I'm fashioning my advice for home sellers, anyone decorating a home will find helpful tips for dressing up her home with these simple techniques.
In the weeks ahead I'll be sharing with you tutorials, professional secrets, fresh ideas, and valuable pointers every DIY stager needs to know. I'll show you how you can stretch your home staging budget and at the same time get results that translate into profits from the sale of your home.
