378 was a perfect example of a space that simply needed organization, minor repairs, and a bit of staging to unlock its potential. The owner was busy with work, so the apartment functioned more like a hotel room, with things scattered about rather than intentionally placed. My goal was to declutter, bring in warmth, and create a space that felt inviting and well cared for.

To start, I added art, rugs, and small but impactful details—like bowls of bright lemons—to make the space feel lively and fresh. One major issue was water damage in the bedroom, which required removing large armoires, plastering, and painting. Water damage can be a dealbreaker, and in today’s market, inspectors catch everything. Addressing it upfront saved time and ensured a smoother sale. The kitchen also needed attention, as some appliances were in disrepair—an important fix, since buyers scrutinize these details.

After months of preparation, I brought in furniture, styled a bar area, and transformed the apartment into a polished, desirable home. The result? It sold within a week. A well-presented space makes all the difference, and in this case, small changes led to a fast and successful sale.
