11. Classy Slender Home in Richmond … Sells Within the Month!

The Classy Slender Home …by Jianni Fletcher

This was an interesting styling project. This home has an open-concept main floor with kitchen, dining room and living room all running into one-another in one long rectangular layout.

Because the portioning of the lot was long and narrow, the house had no choice but to align itself accordingly. This made a particularly challenging sale for Ken our realtor, who said that he could have sold the home 4 times over, if it were only for the design of the home and our styling. The catch was that the lot was actually in an L shape: in addition to the rectangular configuration, it had a long and narrow piece of land that fronted another property; a most peculiar lot!

We addressed the front hall with one of our own custom-made benches. It was 5 feet long by 14 inches wide, together with some of our own custom art, it broke-up the elongated hallway beautifully. Alexandra chose the perfect furniture for the dining and living rooms. Again, our seamstress Eva did a masterful job with the curtains, which brought warmth and softness to the two areas.

Upstairs we put together an office, guest bedroom and principle bedroom. In the principle bedroom we topped the bed off with a massive 75 X 48 inch custom headboard attached to the wall with cleats.

With all our combined energies, the home sold within the month.

Here are the results:
