So this house we just did brought it's own set of challenges. The living room when you walked in was long and narrow. And as if that wasn't a big enough challenge in it's own, the staircase encroached into the room and made the room feel even more crowded.

Once we brought in the sofa and figured out where it could go without blocking the flow of travel in the room, we used it as a way to also separate the space and make the room feel more cozy and less awkward. It really made a huge difference as to the overall feel of this room.

And here are a few of the other photos of the staging work we did on this house. This house was very plain, very vanilla. It felt lifeless and had no personality (at least not a good one) what-so-ever. The upstairs was enough to make a person feel a bit nautious and the main level was very cold and boring. Now it is a place that makes you feel ready to move right in!! :)
