Staging a House to Sell

This kitchen is now on the fast track to a sale. A new iron dining set, bright window treatments and a stylish chandelier create an elegant eat-in area that buyers are sure to gobble up. Neutral vinyl flooring and a warm coat of paint create a fresh feel, and new appliances purchased by the homeowners and stainless-steel sheeting on the dishwasher give the space a modern touch. But the biggest hit of all? The granite countertops. They make the entire kitchen feel as if it were recently remodeled, according to LaPorta.
