I refinished these beds awhile back and took these pictures (Yes, I was being lazy). They look alright and really show the details of the beds. However, they were not selling and there seemed to be no interest in them either.
Being a hobbyist photographer I should know that a picture most of the time sells an item, so I decided to be unlazy (is that even a word? spell check says it isn’t but I like it so it stays!)
I rearranged my front room and brought up the headboards! I don’t have a queen mattress, so my girls and I gathered all (I mean ALL) of our pillows and stacked stacked stacked!
Wouldn’t you know I sold the Yellow one today, lets hope for the same on the blue one. There has been lots of interest in it so far, FINGERS CROSSED!!
Lesson learned if I want to sell faster I need to take the time to stage my items!

You are making me want to do a headboard! Stop doing that : )

February 1, 2013 at 5:34 amCongrats on selling your bed, I'm sure the other one will be gone soon. You did a beautiful job staging them, yes, it's all in the presentation.

Thanks for sharing,
