These 'aint your grandma's Wallpapers! - 09/25/08 02:02 AM
Who would have thought that your grandma's tea cups on the walls in the kitchen, the metallic floral or the burlesque velvet wallpapers would be back "in"?
OK - maybe none of the above, but the wallpapers of today are very cool and are VERY much the new and hot "in" option to simply painting your walls. Whether it is simply adding a new texture or raised pattern to your walls to then paint over with your favorite color or adding natural beauty and drama, here are three of my favorites.
My #1 all time favorites are the Phillip Jefferies … (16 comments)

Unsolicited "THANKS!" - 09/23/08 09:31 AM
In a current time when it seems that everyone has tightened up their belts due to the volatile stock market, corporate bail outs, elections and whatnot. It seems that everyone is holding on to every last penny is preparation for the sky to fall.
But yesterday I received the kindest, most rewarding voice mail I had ever received to date from someone I have never met, never spoken to, never even knew his name. You see, I performed a Staging Consultation for a large home in Tarzana, CA a couple weeks ago. The young couple have had their home on the market … (23 comments)

Getting Interviewed? GREAT! Now, interview your interviewer! - 09/15/08 09:38 AM
As a follow up to my recent blog, Public Disclaimer to Ventura County Star article, I realized that I may have been just as at fault for any misunderstandings which may have risen from the verbal interview itself. I was so excited, so caught-up in the fact that it would be a HUGE media push for my company, that I completely threw one of the cardinal rules of business out the window.
Interview your Interviewer
When applying for a job back in high school or college, even today: we routinely make a point of taking a few minutes to ask THEM questions: What duties … (17 comments)

Public Disclaimer to Ventura County Star article - 09/14/08 11:20 AM
September 14, 2008
While honored by the opportunity to be included and featured in an article about home staging and the industry in the Ventra County Star Newspaper, there are some gross mis-quotings that occurred which we felt must be addressed publicly.
Connie Tebyani, owner of Platinum Home Staging, Inc located in Moorpark, CA is not, nor has ever been, affiliated with IAHSP, HSP or any company owned or facilitated under Barbara Schwarz or any of her programs, trainings or accrediting courses.
Never during the course of the verbal interview with the writer of this article was IAHSP ever mentioned, with … (18 comments)

I've been having an affair... - 09/12/08 09:47 AM
I wanted to confess and share openly here that I have been having an affair. My better half, Platinum Home Staging, Inc. had some inkling I'm sure... Being gone all day and not answering the phone, ignoring my text messages until the next morning, actually "passing" on some jobs because I, "already have plans...."
But here it is, out there for all to see, and I'm afraid that PHS, Inc. is just going to have to be OK with this "other" party..... It has been taking all my free time, even when I thought my business was "slow" and waiting for … (20 comments)

Partnering with local Stagers... Why would you NOT? - 09/08/08 09:38 AM
Many Professional Stagers have been posing the question of "Do I or don't I" partner or work with fellow Stagers in my area? Here in SoCal I believe that there are quite a few of us that have embraced the fact that, although we may at times be competing for the same business, it only drives the industry forward and betters ourselves amongst the business mindset.
Whether you "hire" another Stager to help on a project, or have the karma mindset of scratch-my-back-and-I'll-scratch-yours mentality, it can only help but benefit BOTH parties. I for one need to send out HUGE thank you's … (33 comments)

Your home has been on the market for months, now what? - 09/03/08 11:15 AM
Before we answer the first question, we need to address a few more scenarios about why your home hasn't sold.
The first and foremost being: Are you listed with a Real Estate Agent? Or are you trying to go it FSBO? If the later is your situation, you really need to suck it up and start interviewing Professional Agents in your area (not your cousin's-best friend's-sister who is a Realtor located 45 miles away) The money you were trying to save by not paying the commission has already been lost in delaying the sale of your home and carrying … (16 comments)
