I just took a listing and my seller is just incredible.  She took the concept of staging to the best level possible … to the point that her empty walk-in closet upstairs now has gorgeous padded clothes hangers, some decorative pillows, and a pretty nightgown on display.

She also staged her pantry.  How in the world does one stage a pantry, you might wonder.  It’s really pretty easy if you just take the time to go through it.

1.  Get rid of all old food that’s been there at least a year.

2.  Arrange the cans and boxes so they balance each other – soups together, vegetables together.

3.  Put all “cooking” products together – things needed to top it off such as oil, vinegar, ketchup, mayo.

4.  Turn all products label out.

5.  Heavy products go on the bottom (cases of drinks, water).

6.  Finally, make sure the shelves are all CLEAN – wipe them down, along with the walls, floor and door.

Good luck!
