Fresh flowers, the smell of freshly baked bread, soft music,  uncluttered spaces and clean, clean, CLEAN!    We all have learned that a home in ’showroom’ condition sells ~ and enticingly staged vignettes can create a ‘vibe’ that allows the buyer to see himself living in and enjoying the luxuries of the home.

It’s easy to understand.  The goal of home staging is to improve the home’s appearance in the eyes of potential buyers, with the ultimate goal of selling the home more quickly and for the highest possible price.   Staging appeals to the five senses ~ sight, smell, sound, taste and touch.   The more  inviting and attractive the space is, the greater the tug at the potential buyer’s emotion.

Well, step aside former stagers.   The Sunset Vine Tower in Hollywood, Los Angeles, has brought home staging to a new level.  Setting the ’stage’  in one of it’s 63 residences with 180 degree views of Hollywood,  this debut evening included music, candlelight, champagne and …  a live model basking in the jacuzzi tub.  You read that right … a LIVE model, bubbles, candlelight and all!

Only in LA?    I think this new trend has international appeal, not to mention a bit of sex appeal.   Trend setting in my view.  Hat’s off  ~ and more? ~  to you  Sunset Vine Tower!!
