With our home staging services, we promise to make that happen.

A smart home seller knows it takes more than just a great floor plan and the right location to sell a home. That’s because today’s buyers are not just buying a home, they’re buying a lifestyle.

Buyers will form a quick opinion of your home, so it is necessary to prepare your home accordingly before every showing and/or open house.

Staging Solutions will make sure your home is looking its best. By updating furniture, removing your personal belongings, and applying minor sprucings as needed, your home will appeal to many more prospective buyers. And the proof is in the numbers—staged homes sell in 1/3 of the time that non-staged homes do.

We believe that every space has potential. Often, a space simply needs a quick coat of paint or a strategically hung painting to completely alter the narrative a buyer forms of it. With our services, we give you the ability to control that narrative. Hire Staging Solutions and sell your home today!

October 22, 2014: Homicide detectives are inves-

tigating the fatal shooting of a male victim in the

3500 block of Pennsylvania Avenue in the city’s

Gravois Park neighborhood, police officials said.

Police responded to the shooting at 4:53 p.m. and

the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

Back alleys and trash cans are full

of old, wooden doors and remnants

waiting to be put back into action.

We found this door and wooden box

in the 3500 block of Pennsylvania

Avenue. Salvaged wood can be used

in a multitude of ways to create

cheap, neutral furniture to fill a

home. Here we’ve cut down the

found wood, and assembled the

pieces into two, simple chairs.

Tarron Selfe, 19, of the 2800 block of Miami Street,

died after being shot late Tuesday, police said.

Police said Selfe and his girlfriend were in the same

block where he lived at 10 p.m. Tuesday when they

were approached by two people. One of those peo-

ple pulled a gun and opened fire, striking Selfe in

the head. The gunman then walked up to Selfe and

shot him several more times before fleeing into a

nearby ally. Selfe had wounds to his head, chest and

legs, police said. He died at a hospital about 3 p.m.

Wednesday, police said.

Bed frames are always a nice find.

These ones found on the 2800 block

of Miami Street had thin posts,

which we decided to feature by

converting the frames into a coffee

table. The wood had some unsightly

defects, so a coat of paint and a

fabric covering helped it blend

seamlessly with our other furniture.

Police have identified a man shot to death in the

Tower Grove East neighborhood Wednesday as

Brandon Treadwell, 19, of St. Louis.Treadwell

was found wounded about 12:15 p.m. in a lot in

the 3100 block of South Compton Avenue near

Roosevelt High School. He died at a hospital.

We found this piece tucked

away in the 3100 block of

South Compton Avenue near

Roosevelt High School.

It had obvious bug damage

in some areas, so we only

used a few of the planks of

the piece to construct a slim,

table perfect for a foyer.

A man came home Monday afternoon to find his

roommate stabbed to death on the floor of their

home in the 2300 block of Russell Boulevard.

Police identified the man as James Mattingly, 33.

The roommate told police he came home just after 4

p.m. Monday and found the man unconscious on the

floor. The man had been stabbed in the back, neck

and head. He also had a cut on his face. He died at

the scene.Police have no suspects in the case.

We found this log in the

2300 block of Russell

Boulevard. The log was in

good shape, so a quick sand

was all it needed to become

a side table for our lounging

area. The wood scraps left

over after sanding were

bundled together to give

this minimalist space

some texture.

A St. Louis College of Pharmacy student was fatally

shot during a backyard party at a south St. Louis

house early Saturday. Nicholas Kapusniak, 20, of

Waukesha, Wis., was shot shortly before 1 a.m. in

the 2700 block of Accomac Street. He was pro-

nounced dead at the scene. Police said Kapusniak

was standing with a group of friends in the backyard

when someone in a light-colored sedan traveling

east in the south alley fired gunshots Kapusniak

was hit in the left side of his back. He was carried

inside the residence, where he was pronounced

dead.

Although home staging usually involves paring

away decoration, some thoughtful accessories

can give a space character and interest. Scavenging

for organic materials in your neighborhood

can yield some fruitful, accent pieces. We found

a rock and some tree clippings in the 2700 block

of Accomac Street, and then arranged them

throughout our space.
