Home Staging Checklist, Tips & Ideas

Home Staging Checklist

Moving Home Staging Checklist for Home Staging

So… we did it! In five years, we moved four times. You might think we are a military family, but we aren’t. You might think we are crazy, well we are! Our first move was from Florida to Virginia. Our next three moves took place in Virginia. The process was very different in each state. While the process of changing utilities, closing accounts, and hiring movers was the same, I found the home staging process to actually be far from the same.

We (currently) live outside the District of Columbia where land value is very high. Not only is the cost of land quite extreme, the market moves very quickly. Because of this, many people do not stage their home. We learned this having searched for homes well over a (combined) year. Having come from Florida, I decided to treat my Virginia Home Staging ideas just like I had in Florida. With this mindset, my husband and I made generously over five figures on our last house in just 3 years time.

Home Staging Printable and Tips

—> Get your Home Staging Checklist PDF or read Home Staging Tips & Ideas below.

Let me share my Home Staging Tips with you and what I learned for selling a home  while making only a few low cost weekend home improvements.

See Home Staging Tips & Ideas

What do I need for home staging?

The first thing you need before selling your home is a friend (or a realtor.) Someone needs to walk through your home with a second set of eyes. It’s easy to get offended with changes in your home decor, but don’t take it personally. Take it as if a buyer was walking through your home and trying to envision themselves living there.

Second, get ready to declutter and depersonalize. Consider renting a storage unit and adding additional clutter or asking a friend to store some things in an extra room they might have. Another idea is to go ahead and start packing and rent a POD to store your personal effects until you move. We found this a great solution for staging and also for moving many of our personal items.

For traditional home staging, consider the following items…

  • Vase of flowers – Flowers are warm, bring positive emotions, and can add color to a space or room.
  • Mirrors – These can replace family prints, open up smaller spaces, and bring light to a room.
  • Bowl of fresh fruit – Fruit allows visitors a healthy bite, also bring organic element to the home.
  • Pillows – Pillows bring a pop of color and life to a master bed or worn living room couch.
  • Throw blanket – Blankets will bring a place of warmth and intimacy. They invite a buyer to feel cozy and at home.
  • Indoor plants – Faux is fine. Add to places you want to stand out ad they attract buyers eyes.
  • Lights – Add dimmers or grab some cheap lamps at second hand stores to brighten a room. Turn on all lights before you leave for a showing.
  • Flameless candles – Candles add a glow and make a place feel warm.
  • Curtains or drapes – Get rid of unsightly blinds and window treatments and add long drapes which can bring height to a room and space.
  • Baskets – Baskets are perfect for holding pillows, rolled blankets and/or bathroom towels.

What is soft staging?

If a home is empty, you can consider hiring professional stages. Another option is to save money and soft stage. What is soft staging? Soft staging a empty house is a technique that does not require furniture but uses simple decor pieces and accessories like framed art, rugs, smaller chairs, mirrors, vases, and more. This process can be more cost effective and can be used in home staging for a quick sale.

Some want to know if it better to stage a house or leave it empty? The answer is it can depend. Sometimes with soft staging it can be hard for a buyer to picture themselves inside the home. Other times, it offers a buyer a blank slate and they can envision their own furniture and home decor. If leaving a home empty, ask your realtor about virtual home staging solutions for home photos on MLS listings and real estate apps like Redfin and Zillow.

What brings down property value?

If your a mom of five (like me) this was one question that I wanted answered – does a messy house affect an appraisal? There answer is no. The cleanliness of a home has no impact on the value. This means if your home appraiser is coming over, it is kind to pick up the toys off the playroom floor, but it doesn’t affect the home value he/she puts on the appraisal. However, if your clutter (think hoarders) affects the structural condition of your home, your home appraisal value can decrease. Make sure to make those home improvements before an appraiser comes or be ready to get dinged in your home appraisal and home inspection report.

Many things that affect the property value of your home are out of your control. Examples include proximity to train tracks, power lines, busy roads, noise pollution, the neighborhood, the market, and a home’s usual upgrades. If your home has some of the things that bring property value down, it is important for you to create a space a buyer “has to have!”

What adds most value to a house?

Want to know something funny? I am the frugal blogger but my husband is actually better than me at improving the cost of our home. Especially when it came to decluttering, landscaping, painting, and updating kitchen appliances.

A few things I learned that improve the value of your home. First, we invested in having the lawn cleaned up. We did this before photos. I also painted the front door. Actually, it was solid wood so I just used this UV Wood Polish (see photo below – top done, bottom not finished.) It made the home look a million times better. These two things brought instant curb appeal and positive first impressions.

Sun Shield UV Outdoor Wood Furniture Protector on a Front Door


Next, we knew we would be moving soon, so when our dishwasher broke we actually replaced all of our kitchen appliances so they were matching. You can sell your old working appliances on Facebook marketplace and make a few dollars back. We had these appliances under warranty so that was an added bonus when listing the home. How did we find these pieces for less? We asked our real estate agents who they used for appliances when flipping homes. We used the same services. Another idea is to check with Home Depot for Kitchen Appliances Packages.

We took a week to repaint our kitchen cabinets and brighten up the kitchen. Since we did this about five months before we moved, we spent one late night touching up small nicks and scratches before home photos and putting the home on the market.

Another thing, it’s often suggested to repaint the home with neutral colors. Only repaint rooms where paint colors are very extreme (i.e. bright red or hot pink.) We actually used Mr. Clean Dry Erasers to wipe down the walls of smudges and scratches. Where Mr. Clean did not improve the wall, we used a very small paint brush to fix dings and nicks.

If your budget allows for bigger home improvement projects, take a look at this list of the best ways to add value to your home.

Best Ways to Add Value to Your Home

This list will have a home staging cost in the thousands, but will bring a bigger return.

  • Finish an unfinished basement or cellar
  • Apply for planning permission (additions,
  • Remodel the kitchen
  • Bathroom addition
  • Add a deck
  • Open the living space
  • Exterior home makeover and refresh
  • Replacing carpeting

Are these large home improvement projects too expensive? That is okay. There are many low cost home staging options too!

How do I prepare my house for sale checklist?

Why are you here? You want to sell your home for more while spending less. I can help. I have done it. I have done it effectively. I have done it again (with five kids.) If you too want to make profit on your home sale, you will this useful access guide to home staging.

Download your preparing your home for sale checklist PDF. Use it as your cheap home staging resource before you have home staging photos taken or put your home is placed on MLS listing. Just a few simple low cost home improvements can look like “a million bucks!” Watch the value of your home improve, perhaps sell over asking like we did!

Flashlight Scavenger Hunt

Outdoor Flashlight Scavenger Hunt Printable for Kids

If 2020 has taught us anything it has been to create family traditions and to be more creative with our time. Thinking outside the box has taught us to make new memories.

Did you know? Memories are created when something different happens. Have you noticed how quickly the days and weeks fly by when you are in the same old routine. When you change up that daily routine and add in something different, you have created a memory in your child’s mind. It  is a bump in the road on their walk of life and creates something they look back on – that can be good or bad. Why not create more bumps in the road that are good.

One way to change up a routine week or weekend night is to add in a Flashlight Scavenger Hunt.

Thankful Thursday

thankful thursday small gift ideas for teachers

As a former teacher (and survivor of a Virtual Teacher Appreciation Week in Quarantine), I have always instilled showing thanks for teachers. Often this comes with me picking up a candy bar at the checkout line or grabbing an extra cup of coffee “thanks a latte” before dropping my kids off at school. These are just because occasions.

There are many ways to show Teachers Appreciation without waiting until teacher appreciation week. One way to is adopt a Thankful Thursday. This does not have to be every Thursday, just choose a Thursday one a month or twice a year in send in something small.

Alternatively, the homeroom parent can create a classroom SignUpGenius. Easily organize a weekly Thankful Thursday with classroom signups for schools and classrooms. Promote a spirit of gratitude by gifting something small every Thursday.

How to Write a Thank You Note To Your Teacher

thank you teacher

With electronics taking over, hand written notes are a thing of the past. Because of that, a handwritten note is more meaningful than an email or text. To show your upmost appreciation, use a pen or pencil to write your thank you note to your teacher.

First, start with blank canvas and outline positive words or phrases that come to mind when you think about this teacher. These are words you will want to put inside your letter.

Second, begin your letter with a salutation. This should be like with a “Dear _____,”

In your paragraph(s), give a reason your teacher has helped you or describe what they have done for you. Provide an example. Express the positive impact these words or actions had on you. How did this change you? Don’t forget your thanks.

End with a Closing.  Choose a “Sincerely”, “All the best”, “Warm wishes”, “Deepest thanks” and/or “thank you again!”

Teacher Appreciation Thank You Messages

Thank you notes can be brief. They can short little messages with quick line of thanks. Consider some of these Thankful Thursday Quotes for Teachers when adding messages to your appreciation notes.

Thank you for believing in me.

You showed me how capable I am of achieving great things.

I don’t think you realize it, but you were such a huge influence on me this year.

I wanted to let you know how much of an impact you’ve made.

You are, hands down, the best teacher I’ve ever had.

Teacher Appreciation Quotes

This printable teacher quote can be found on Etsy at Soul Printables, “a truly amazing teacher is hard to find and impossible to forget.”

Sign off your letter with teacher appreciation quotes. Below are some inspirational quotes about teachers to share at the bottom of your message or on your gift tag. Sometimes no additional words are needed.

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” – Henry Brooks Adams

“When the teacher is ready, the student will disappear. When the student is truly ready… the teacher will disappear.” – Lao Tzu

“Most of us end up with no more than five or six people who remember us. Teachers have thousands of people who remember them for the rest of their lives.” – Andy Rooney

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela

“One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.” – Malala Yousafzai
