Vacant home for sale, in need of staging. Antique dealer from out of town, needs showroom space. Idea?
Joni Webb reports on Cote de Texas that New Orleans antique dealer Mignon Favrot Topping has gone into the business of staging for-sale homes. But: She leaves the price tags on.
What better way to show off the brand-new 4-bedroom, 5,822-s.-ft. fantasy home designed by Robert Dame at 3015 Virginia, which has been listed for almost 3 months. The price was cut $100K in April, leaving an asking price of $1.875 million.
If that’s still too much, now you can walk away with a piece of it for maybe a little less.
The listing photos still show an empty house:

But uh . . . if you get there this weekend, you’ll find a new antique store inside:

I have a friend in rural Mississippi that’s been doing this for years and years.
This is a wonderful idea for anyone who has antiques for sale and wants to stage houses with classy antiques instead of other boring furniture.
