At Sanctuary Staging and Styling, we are always up for a new adventure!  When a home investor – with whom we work regularly on staging projects – presented us with a design request for a new Airbnb in downtown Columbus, we jumped on it!  We were able to create a modern industrial vibe with browns, blacks, grays and golds throughout the home to play off of the beautiful features, and paid homage to our wonderful city of Columbus with black and white photos throughout.   We consider it a huge success all around as they are already booking fast!  Enjoy the photos!

 

This home in the Tartan Fields Golf Club neighborhood is a luxury property now on the market. A few of the many features include a main level master suite, two-story living room windows and a see-through fireplace with a sitting area right in the kitchen.  The second floor features 4 additional bedrooms and a teen or nanny suite.  Enjoy the photos!

We cannot say enough about this house – what an experience staging it.  Boasting over 8,700 square feet, this home had every room and feature you could imagine in a dream home.  From the two-story master suite, to the chef’s kitchen with every upscale appliance and view to the saltwater pool, to the lower level movie theater, to the 9 (count them, 9!) bathrooms, to the pub room with its own golf simulator, we became more and more excited as we turned every corner to discover another room.  And that’s only the inside!  We finished staging on a Thursday, this home was on the market by Friday and the owners received (and accepted) an offer over the weekend.  Pretty impressive for a $1.5MM home!  We are delighted to be part of the selling success!

 

This lovely home in Powell boasted over 4,500 square feet of living space.  The team worked around the clock to stage every room and it paid off.  The home was listed on a Friday and it received multiple offers over ask, resulting in a sale by that weekend.  We love being part of the success!

Another stage, this time in the King-Lincoln Bronzeville neighborhood in downtown Columbus, has us feeling anything but blue.  This fully renovated home boasts stacked balconies out front with a bright blue exterior and a show-stopping interior. A few of our favorite features to accentuate include the open living and dining area next to the jaw-dropping kitchen, the master bedroom with its own private balcony and the huge finished basement.  We envision the new homeowners spending lots of time both indoors and out.  Enjoy the photos!

 

Another couple of busy weeks have gone by, and once again, we are a little behind in blogging!  Let’s make up for lost time by showcasing a really fun property…a really swanky condo in downtown Columbus, right on 4th, in the heart of it all.  This condo was really special, with walls of glass, an incredibly high end kitchen and super cool light fixtures.  We do so many historic homes downtown it was really fun to tap into our more mod side.  Enjoy the photos!

The Sanctuary team once again made our way to the land of magic and leprechauns (i.e. Dublin, Ohio), where we helped a wonderful client find her pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!  Situated on a beautiful lot, overlooking a nature preserve, this home featured a great layout, soaring ceilings and enough space for a large family.  Buyers thought so too, because once the listing hit the MLS, it quickly captured over 4000 views and too many showings to even count!  We found ourselves in familiar territory, multiple offers and a competitive bid situation.  Happy to report this home went into contract before we could even get this blog post written – over ask.  That’s the Sanctuary difference.  Enjoy the pics!

Sometimes we just like to have a little fun…and this family home presented the Sanctuary team the perfect opportunity to punch things up with some color.  From a bright and cheery living room, to two cute kids rooms, to a fantastic family room space, we know this home will be sure to please parents and kids alike.  Enjoy the pics!

 

Recently, Sanctuary Staging was featured in 614Homes Magazine, and in that article, we discussed the difference between homes that sell and homes that sit.  One of the biggest factors in helping a home sell?  The right marketing to the right buyers.  Case in point…let’s take a closer look at one of our recent stagings on Winding Oaks.  This home was on the market for over 5 months vacant.  Buyers just couldn’t envision themselves living there.  The realtor, knowing the importance of staging, contacted us to help.  Once staged, the home sold a few weeks later.  Yes, that’s the power of staging.  Take a look at some of the pics from this now in contract home below.

A couple weeks ago we found ourselves back in the Franklin Park neighborhood, which boasts many revived historic homes. This time we were able to stage an open-concept home on the corner of Bryden Road and Morrison Avenue. Exposed brick, multiple fireplaces, gorgeous oversized windows and a soft green exterior were sources for our staging inspiration. Enjoy the photos!
