Staging with what you have.

As you know, our house has been listed for 2 1/2 weeks now.  Just thought I would show you a couple things that I changed.  Remember the little blue table that I was using for a coffee table.  I liked it but others thought the house would show better with a different table.  So the blue one became the side table.  This long sturdy bench I found out our local vintage and candy shop.  It was marked down to $29.  At first I thought I could stack some of my benches like Brenda of Cozy Little House did.  I may do that later.  The flowers were from my daughter as a "thinking of you" gift.  (Later the blue vase fell and shattered everywhere, but not til the flowers had seen their better days.)  The candle and the book were gifts.  (It's a book about vintage campers)  The burlap banner was a giveaway gift from a generous blogger.  The three floral and burlap pillows came from a sale on a blogger's etsy shop.  ($15 each.......I love those pillows.)  The other pillows came with  the sofa that I found at another vintage shop.  The picture above the sofa is another gift from my children.  So minus the sofa this whole arrangement cost me $74.  Not bad, right.  If you count the little blue table then it would be $94.....still under $100.  And, I already had all of it.
