The Art of Staging: A Vintage Kitchen
Posted at 5:22 AM, Mar. 30, 2007
A kitchen does not need all the bells and whistles to have a positive effect. It does however need to address function and create an overall good feeling. Here is an example of a where you can focus on a kitchen's assets instead of the negatives and have appeal to buyers.
PROBLEM:
This kitchen is vintage in design and lacks up-to-date appliances and features. Clutter was apparent in flow as well as in the pantry/storage areas.

SOLUTION!
The first item on the agenda was to remove any restrictions to the room’s natural flow. The microwave was relocated to a baker’s rack next to the fridge instead of the stove which opened up the door way instantly. The pantry and countertops were scaled down and all items that were not regularly used were to be packed up and removed for a more organized, spacious appearance.
Lastly, fresh fruit added just the right touch of color to accent the beautiful detail in the tiles along with simple art work that also played into the color theme and vintage appeal.
