Houndstooth Home Transitions

Take a look inside our recent installation in Dobbs Ferry.

This 1912 Spanish-style home had everything we love to work with — dramatic scale, original woodwork, terracotta floors, an incredible limestone fireplace, and a living room that feels more like a hall than a room.

But homes like this can be tricky…when there is already this much character, adding more is usually the wrong move.

We worked closely with the homeowners to declutter, organize, simplify, paint, repair, and rework the flow of each space.

Then we layered in what was missing: softer textures, warmer lighting, cleaner sightlines, better scale, and just enough furniture and styling to make each room feel intentional without distracting from the architecture.

The goal was not to make the house feel staged — it was to make it feel effortless.

And that feeling matters — the home received multiple offers and went into contract within 5 days!!

The homeowner mentions “their vision played a pivotal role in the quick sale of our home. Their hard work and thoughtful staging made a huge difference” 🩷

A sneak peek from a recent installation in Dobbs Ferry.

When a home has this much character, the goal isn’t to add more — it’s to bring balance, warmth, and clarity to what’s already there.

Full reveal soon.

— Houndstooth Home Staging

This New City Colonial began as a relocation property — cluttered, dated, and overwhelming for the owners, who weren’t sure where to begin preparing it for sale.

Through two detailed consultations, we developed a clear plan outlining what to repair, what to paint, what to pack, and what to leave behind. As soon as the owners executed the plan and moved out, we swooped in to repair, paint, deep clean, and fully stage the entire home — transforming the space in just 15 days into a warm, cohesive home buyers could immediately connect with.

• Strategic furniture placement defined each room and improved flow
• A neutral palette allowed the natural light and architecture to lead
• Layered styling created a move-in-ready feel throughout

Preparation — not luck — is what creates powerful first impressions.

If you’re unsure where to begin when preparing a home for sale, we guide the process from overwhelming to market-ready — from first consultation through final styling.

🏡 80 Colonial Ave, Dobbs Ferry

✨ Our staging team has been so busy creating beautiful spaces that we haven’t shared them here in a while.
What better place to start catching up than with this Dobbs Ferry gem?

Set on a beautifully landscaped corner lot in the sought-after Riverview Manor neighborhood of Dobbs Ferry, this mid-century home flows effortlessly from its bluestone entry patio into a light-filled great room with Hudson River views. Cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, and a broad expanse of picture windows make every room feel open and calm — the perfect blend of simplicity and sophistication.

• We incorporated many of the homeowners’ existing pieces and thoughtfully added curated accents — both furniture and decor — to bring warmth, cohesion, and balance throughout.
• Our goal was to accentuate the home’s strongest features: the sweeping entry hall, walls of glass, and connection to the outdoors.
• We kept the aesthetic intentionally minimal so the architecture — those hardwood floors, ceilings, and windows — could truly shine.

📅 It listed in April 2025 and sold in just 10 days for $211,000 over asking.

💬 “A quiet approach, a bold result.”

📲 If you’re ready to let your home tell a story — quietly, confidently — we’re here.

🌿 From April to Autumn — a look back at the spaces that shaped our year.
