Coeur d'Alene homes with stuffed animals?

Daily Tweet Rehash

You know you need a home stager if....your master bedroom is displaying stuffed animals as decorative accessories....

REALLY? Yes, REALLY!
I have been seeing stuffed animals in mature, adult bedrooms being used as accessories. Okay people, as soon as you moved out of mom's house your stuffed animals were supposed to be left behind. Along with the gun safes that I have mentioned in previous blogs, the stuffed animals are not considered decorative items. Guns and stuffed animals are like this yin-yang thing, but it doesn't work while trying to sell a house. Depersonalize your master bedroom.
Buyers are trying to see themselves in your house. How can they if YOU are written all over it? Highly personal items, like stuffed animals, should be the first items pre-packed when selling a house. When your buyers walk into your master bedroom, they shouldn't feel uncomfortable, as if they are intruding on your privacy. If they do feel that way, you can guarantee they won't be making an offer on your house.
If anything in your master bedroom identifies your emotional personality in that space, that is exactly what needs pre-packing. Home Stagers are experts in identifying exactly those "taste specific" or "personality specific" items that need to be packed up.
