Sending kids off to college can be tough...I know as I will be doing that next year and am already completely dreading it! It's even tougher on the child and moving into ugly, boring and sterile dorm rooms does not make it any easier. That's why I love this story about DORM ROOM STAGING that I wrote for the National Association of Realtors staging blog which featured yet another way for stagers to do amazing things in unique locations!
I absolutely love how Carolyn softens up the space with an on-trend color palette that pleases both boys and girls along with a TON of textures and cozy rug, pillows and throws. Imagine previewing colleges with your child to find this staged dorm space as an option vs. the typical un-staged space above it?

The builder also used these photos in their marketing materials...in fact, the developers of this housing unit were so impressed with the job Carolyn did, they kept the furnishings for the model unit.
As a contributor to the National Association of Realtors staging blog, my favorite thing to do is to brag about the incredible talent of my HSR certified home staging members. I also find it so interesting to watch the MANY different directions home stagers take their business because there are so many niches available to them.
Fortunately, I was very blessed to have had your amazing training and gain credibility through projects, presentations, etc. Audra, you gave me the confidence and the knowledge to be successful…….I just can’t thank you enough!!!!
