stafford: Not Staging to Sell, Rather, Preparing to Sell. - 01/25/08 12:52 PM
Not Staging to Sell, Rather, Preparing to Sell. I usually try to write a couple of helpful articles a month, but with a hectic schedule right after the holidays, I am a bit behind. I have been inspired to write about preparing a home to sell, and many home staging professionals may get a little bent about this post, but coming from a frugal background and common sense, I felt compelled to write a piece designed to help people see home selling from a new perspective. This is where many Home Stagers could "re-market" what staging really is. Too many "lay people"

Happy Holidays Ya'll! As with most people, I've been busy sending out Christmas cards, quickly unboxing and wrapping presents that arrive on my doorstep, getting the house all decorated for the holidays, planning the menus for parties and sleeping arrangements for guests, attending various cookie and ornament exchange parties, helping with school holiday parties, vacuuming needles and broken ornaments off the floor from cat shenanegans, deciding if the traditional fruit cake recipe my parents created should be introduced to my family this year, making 2008 calendars for our relatives so they ALL can have pictures of the kids, answering calls to relatives

stafford: Paint Psychology - 08/10/07 01:52 PM
It's just paint. That's what I found myself telling my husband and our contractor when I told them I wanted the ceiling of our billiards room painted a deep amber. Well, I wanted deep oranges, reds and purples in the paint scheme as well - I could understand their fear, their uncertainty, and their flabbergasted expressions when I put my foot down. It is just paint. I find myself telling my clients the same. Paint is the most inexpensive, yet the most impacting element of any room. It brings textiles and accessories together, as if they always belonged. It sets the mood.
