This morning I woke up to an air temperature of -12 degrees below Fahrenheit with a wind chill of -40 degrees below zero! 

For blog readers who are not accustomed to such temperatures, I will give you an illustration:  Go to your freezer, open the door, and stick in your hand.  What you are feeling would be considered a heat wave!

You know it's Cold Outside When...

• Your dog refuses to go out.
• School is delayed two hours and there is no snow in the forecast
  
• Your car groans when you start it (if you listen closely, you may hear it cry).
• You have to consider whether or not to go get the mail.
• When you need to dig in the back of your drawer for the super insulated monkey socks.
• When you local weather is broadcast on national news.
• When the exhaust of your car freezes to the roads (black ice)

I guess that is why Minnesota was labeled "the icebox of the north" in my daughters textbook.  The good news:  we should be skyrocketing into the 30's by the weeks end!  It may not sound like much, but when considering the wind chill, that is a 70 degree difference!  I guarantee their I will see people wearing shorts and t-shirts this weekend!

You may have heard stagers say, "We need to depersonalize this space."  But do you really know what that means?

Depersonalizing a house is different from removing clutter, because it concentrates on removing specific items from the home.  Depersonalizing a space involves removing highly personal items such as:

• Family photos
• Personal collections
• Religious symbols
• Political propaganda

Why is this necessary?  A depersonalized house will allow buyers to emotionally connect with the home.

For example, the picture below contains several photographs of the owner's family.  Buyers will have a difficult time imagining this house as their own. 

The picture below shows a staged room where the personal photographs have been removed.  Neutral home accents were added for a decorative element.  Now buyers can envision their family using this space without being distracted by photos of some one else's family.

Depersonalizing a house is an important step to staging your home for the real estate market!
