REALLY good staging

Like I've said before, I love real estate. So much that I look at it just for fun. Houston has an amazing realty website, http://www.har.com/. As I was perusing it the other day, I found this home:

It's in a very desirable Houston neighborhood. Looks nice and traditional from the outside and then inside... BAM!

It's really some of the best staging I've seen. OR the owners have impeccable taste. That rug. That footstool. Amaze-ing.

Looking at so many houses recently, I have gotten SOOO tired of the... Everything is from Hobby Lobby, and it's all blue and brown, and there's lots of faux plants and there are signs that say things like "Family" "Dream" "Happiness". Are you getting my drift? Am I the only one who feels this way? None the less. Let's get back to the good stuff.

Maybe I should go into the staging business... because on my latest house hunting trips, I saw WAY too much of this...

The above is from a house we saw in STL. It was staged by professionals. Seriously, I saw the card of the business who did it. I'm sorry.... what?

Another one for good measure...

Think I might have a new calling. To stop this.
