Staging Tip for Living with Kids

Kitchen Before over run with toys

Kitchen After, toys removed looks clean and organized.

Your kids may fight you on the moving process (depending on how old they are) but if you get them involved it makes the process much easier. Make a game about it, try going in their room with him/ her and say "choose your top 10 toys you really like" and set those aside. Then ask "choose your top 10 toys you haven't played with in a while" so on and so forth. Getting your child involved allows them to feel that they are apart of the process and that you are not leaving them out. Or try a points system for every toy they can pack up give them a star.
When it comes to your home children's toys should NEVER be strewn around for them to use, when it comes to selling it is very important to keep those toy's contained in either a designated play room or their own bed room. These toys really need to be organized so keep them in bins out of site and organized in either the bottom of their closet or stacked neatly in the play room corner.
It is important for home buyers to see that toy's do not rule the house because you don't know who's buying the home it could be a professional couple that don't have children but they like the location of your home.

Happy Staging
