Staging to Sell and Rethinking Modern Farmhouse

I shared last week that we sold our house, and we sold for well over the asking price! As a designer, not only have I had amazing home stagers on the podcast but I also study staging a little bit.

She is based in California, but after a one hour Zoom session with her I am convinced that working with her is the reason we got top dollar in one weekend.
