From a home staging point of view I think everyone will agree that it is important to define the use of space within a house to show purpose. Simply put, a bedroom should look like a bedroom and a dining room should look like a dining room.

So what does a seller do when the defined space has been altered or re-purposed such that a living room is an office or a dining room is a play room? You need to CONVERT the space back to it’s original planned use! A potential buyer needs to see the house as it was originally planned. Let them decide how they want to live in the space and not how you hope they will accept it.

And remember:  Don’t give a buyer a reason to say no!
