stager: REALTORS: Why You Need A Decorator Stager For Your Sellers...No You Don't Already Do What I Do. - 01/01/08 12:48 PM
REALTORS: 
a very good example of why a PROFESSIONAL stager/decorator/color consultant is necessary to help your sellers select paint colors. No, you don't already do what we do...lets work together for a win/win/win (your commission/your clients best price/my reputation) situation in 2008! to weed out the chaff from the wheat this is a good litmus test; a professional KNOWS color theory as well as DESIGN Theory. 3 Day training to be a 'stager' does not teach theory only a minuscule percentage of practical.

stager: Color (Colour) Theory 101, some basics on TAUPES...a much needed review - 01/01/08 12:33 PM

stager: Has Your House Been Staged? Probably Not! - 05/04/07 07:32 PM
There seems to be confusion as to when a home has been staged.
If you are a Realtor and your client has had a staging consultation, they must understand that they have not had their home staged. If you are a homeowner, and you've had a stager in for a consultation, you have not had your home staged.
