Staging May be a New Industry, but None of Us Were Born Yesterday (rant warning) - 02/26/08 03:37 PM
I got that phone call AGAIN today. This time it was a builder rather an agent, but the context of the phone call was the same. You know that phone call- the one where the person on the other end who has never met you, seen your portfolio, visited your website, or read your blog, but … (56 comments)
Stage it Forward's HOT TOPICS - Week in Review Feb 17 - Feb23, 2008 - 02/24/08 10:38 AM
This week at SIF was great one to moderate. It was a week of stellar posts - really, I saw a distinct increase in the number of quality posts and it has been very difficult to decide who and what to feature. One thing I did notice is that we saw a lot of repeat topics. Many of you … (24 comments)
This Wide Angle is Wicked (and that's a good thing) - 02/19/08 05:33 PM
There has been a whole lot of discussion on AR about wide angle cameras and/or lenses and the advantage they give you when shooting real estate photos. After looking at all of the wide angle camera shots, I was convinced that I was not giving my agents the best photos I … (98 comments)
The Evils of Real Estate Beige and Builder White - 02/18/08 01:17 PM
For many years now, the general concensus of color when selling a house was that one should employ the 'neutral' shades known as Real Estate Beige and Builder white. However, it is obvious (to me, at least) that such a sweeping generalization causes more harm that good.
Should one spend even the smallest … (18 comments)
Your Staging Blog: Why You Don't Need to Come Up With New Subjects - 02/15/08 05:09 PM
There are many lurkers out there, hesitating to jump into blogging themselves, because they think they cannot blog about anything new. Well, take heart because you don't have to. I can give you two reasons why that is true: 1. Your perspective and experiences will be different - no one approaches a subject … (14 comments)
It's a Tragedy. No, It's a Miracle! No, It's an Opportunity to Shine. - 02/13/08 05:54 PM
Yesterday afternoon, I got one of those phone calls you never want to get. As I was preparing to pick up broken foot girl from play rehearsal, my cell phone rang. I naturally assumed it was her letting me know she was ready. I was wrong. On the other line was one … (37 comments)
SIF 'Week' in Review - Feb 1 thru Feb 9, 2008 - 02/10/08 08:25 PM
This is our first attempt to create an official week in review for the SIF group. It is something that many of the other larger groups do and that Craig has wanted to start for a long time, so we thought we would give it a shot. Because we are only … (31 comments)
Why You Cannot Be a Stager For 'Fun' - 02/07/08 12:05 PM
This post was actually written for and posted on my other blog, but I thought all of you would like to add your 2 cents in the comments. I only posted 5 reasons, though there are many, many more I'm sure. This is a subject that has been coming up a … (51 comments)
The Spec House is Finally Finished!!! - 02/04/08 10:23 AM
Okay, it didn't take FOREVER, but it did take 8 days to complete. Only 6 days over my original schedule (rolling eyes). Here are some sample photos. I think it was worth the wait! The office. The living room. The Master. … (15 comments)

Cold, Snow, Broken Bones and the Spec House That is Taking FOREVER - 02/01/08 11:27 AM
I am a rather ordered person when it comes to staging spec homes. I have a system and it has never failed me. Furniture and accessories are delivered in the evening. I take advantage of the strong backs present at delivery to have the furniture placed in the general area where … (13 comments)
