1st Flip...Bedroom Issues...

Hey, everyone...this is related to the post I just created, "1st Flip Finally Finished!"

So, I was excited to get 2 showings in one day, right? But upon getting feedback from the buyer's agents, basically they really liked the house, except that...(*drum roll*)...they felt the bedrooms were too small.  

Crap. 

Due to the house's age (built in 1910 but in pretty good condition w/ "good bones"), I was kind of afraid this might be an issue.  Initially, I had opted to only stage the first floor (and upstairs bath), leaving the bedrooms empty thinking that might make them appear larger. 

However, do you think some light bedroom staging might actually work better at camouflaging the rooms' tightness?  

Also, has anyone else experienced this issue when selling their flips? What did you do to overcome buyers' hesitations & get it sold?
