Prepping for Another Open House (Photostory)

The KidKraft Glamorous house arrived on Tuesday  Today after making some room in the basement, I was able to get it constructed.  I immediately called Sunni to let her know it was ready to show.  She called the stagers, who rushed over with furnishings. 

 Hours later, Sunni is on site to prep for tomorrow's open house.

She enters through the door in the kitchen.

(I may extend the kitchen and add a dining area through the door she is entering)

The kitchen is small because of the large appliances.  She will have to play up the stainless steel.

(Sidenote:  These appliances may not stay.  If I can find a smaller kitchen that I like, I may switch it out)

She moved on to the bathroom.  She's happy with the color combo.  The separate tub and shower will be a huge selling point.   (The bathtub and the turquoise trash can are from Mattel.  I think the toilet is too.  The house comes with a green tub, but it was too small).

For the shower I added a Mattel shower to the opening that was already there.  All I need now is the shower curtain.

Sunni heads upstairs to the living area.

(I took the stairs that were inside, and I temporarily added them to the front of the house.  If you look to the left, you can see the shower.)

She's thrilled with the living area.  The colors pop, and the low furniture makes the room look larger.

She takes a seat on the sofa and takes a look around.

The lamp next to the yellow chair, came with the house.  The sofa and the chair are from the Ikea set.

Forgive this blurry picture.  It's the only one I took of the elevator.  I added the elevator because it was so cute.  Chances are I will remove it so I can get more space.

With the elevator in place, I only have a little area for dining. 

If I take the elevator out, I can create a nice dining room.  Of course, if I switch to a smaller kitchen, or extend the kitchen area, I can put the dining table in the kitchen area.

(This dining set came with the house.)

Sunni makes her way to the bedroom.  She sits on the sofa and visualizes different room layouts.

(Everything you see here came with the house.)

A close up.

I am considering adding a closet through the opening behind the sofa.  I will be covering the opening in the floor, since I won't be using the stairs inside.

Sunni will suggest different layouts to the clients.  She will also suggest different ways to use the bedroom.  For example, adding an office area

She will also suggest ways to make this a two-bedroom for someone who may need that.  Perhaps for a child's room,

or a nursery.

She visualizes a smaller crib that would probably work better with the low furniture.

Of course added walls aren't really necessary, especially if the client is a single mom or dad. 

After leaving the room, Sunni wonders what the room would have looked like with the bed on the far side.  

She can't wait to see who shows up for the open house.  Neither can I.  We both know this house won't be on the market long.
