The 7 Items I Stage in Every Single Maine Home

After staging dozens of homes across Maine, I've noticed something: there are 7 items I reach for again and again. They're not flashy. They're not expensive. They aren't trending on Pinterest this month. But every single one earns its spot in every single home I touch.

Here's what I've learned after walking through more empty kitchens, half packed living rooms, and freshly painted bedrooms than I can count: staging isn't about filling a room. It's not about decorating to your taste, or even strictly to your buyer's taste. It's about making someone walk through the front door, take a breath, and think, "I could live here."
