I first got a call saying that they didn't have anyone help to lift furniture -- I replied "I'll be back in town around 1:00. 

The original dressing rooms off each bedroom were converted into bathrooms as far back as the 1930s/40s/ - so each bedroom has its own bathroom.The original "bathroom" - with its copper tub - sites through a door off a landing on the grand stairwell and is actually in the servants wing of the building over the kitchen.Much of the bedroom furniture, and some of the other original furniture is still present in the house (either its room of use or stored in the third-floor attic.  

For me and many in the cabinet and furniture industry, that is the Abranet.

I've got a buddy who works at one of the larger furniture stores in the country managing all of their inventory and systems.

She is great with design; choosing furniture, paint colors, decorations, cabinet color/style, fixtures, tile, etc...

I am typically paying $1000 - $2000 for staging depending on number of rooms, total square footage, and time the furniture is at the house.  

I sold most of the furniture and rented a temporary apartment and storage unit until the next deal comes along.

I grew up watching my mom do painting, wall papering, reupholstering furniture, refinishing furniture, etc.

I see them renting to own furniture and appliances, which ends up costing several times the actual price.

Before buying in any marginal neighborhood, try to find out from local service providers (plumbers, HVAC repairers, furniture stores) what their take on the 'hood is.
