Who doesn't want that when selling a home? We work with real estate professionals and homeowners alike to bring a property to market looking it's very best. We love a good "empty home" staging project and that said, it could be the entire floor plan or certain key rooms that are addressed. For those who will remain in the home throughout the selling process, we have various levels of staging
to suggest.

WITH SO MANY COLOR OPTIONS, CHOOSING THE RIGHT TONE CAN BE A CHALLENGE.
Whether the need is for a whole home paint color palette or just an exterior door color, we would like to chime in with an opinion and give you options to consider. After a visit to the home, we will submit to you a few options for discussion. Once we have final decisions we then list the brands, types, finishes, and the paint colors we recommend for the project. This list will be submitted to the painting contractor for reference. We can be the contact to answer questions and/or oversee the job from that point forward if you so wish.
LET'S DISCUSS WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU
MICHAEL@MICHAELCO.CO
EMPTY HOME STAGING...
361 BEACON STREET
This is the master suite in a newly renovated triplex condo in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston. This Unit has all the bells and whistles
and then some: three levels of living, three bedrooms, three and a half baths, master suite, four decks, two deeded garage parking spots in an elevator building.
UNIT READIED FOR SALE...
12 GATES STREET
This home needed a facelift; the unit had been occupied by tenants that gave it a beating. The wall colors and fixtures needed updating. We decided on new paint colors, hired cleaners, contractors, and replaced fixtures. We also staged it and represented the seller for sale.
FURNISHINGS ADDED...
509 EAST 2ND STREET
This stunning home had great bones and some perfect furnishings. We purged some, rearranged and added our own furniture, artwork, accessories, plants and flowers to make it all picture perfect for photographs.

KITCHEN DESIGN, COLOR AND STAGING...
BROOKLINE, MA
The kitchen in this condo in a historic home was in need of some updating before it could go on the market for sale. The space was gutted and we worked with the owners every step of the way with the design, floor plan and color palette. We assisted them with the fixture, appliance, countertops, lighting and furniture purchases. We then staged the kitchen and had it photographed.
NEW FIXTURES, COLOR AND STAGING...
65 G STREET
The developer was not pleased with the mirrors and lighting that she chose for the master bath at her latest project. Her real estate agent agreed and was also opposed to the weathered teal vanity. We supplied new colors, mirrors, light fixtures, and then staged the home. This four level, four bedroom, four bath home sold for full asking price at the first open house.
COLOR, REPAIRS, STAGING ETC...
39 STORY STREET
We chose a whole home color palette and finishes, replaced lighting, ceiling fan, cabinet knobs, medicine cabinets faucets and mirrors in this duplex, two bedroom condo in South Boston. We were hired by the seller's real estate agent to bring about a dramatic change to a unit that was outdated and had been rented for years
before listing it for sale.
