Most would like to think that most homes in Hollywood have a "history" of some sort of a famous person who once lived in them. Truth be told, most that did have a "history" have been either torn down completely or remodeled beyond recognition. This house, however, is one of the originals:

home staging: If You Don't Respect Your Own Business, Then Why Should Your Customers? - 09/04/09 04:53 PM
I've heard it time and time again. It typically starts out with "Business is slow..." and is usually followed up with, "It must be the economy." or "People just don't get it." (refering to the service they are selling). Now, I can't speak for other industries, but I'll share my experience of

Maybe, maybe not - but it sure can save you a LOT of headaches and aspirin!
Does Home Staging involve swallowing a big pill? Comments on a previous blog post raised my level of thinking about how the Home Staging industry is perceived, and you can read what prompted this

Recently I posted a blog about a rather awkward location for a "door" in a home we recently Staged in Oxnard, CA Mandalay Beach. The Owner had aptly dubbed the home, "the house of doors" and she hit the nail on the head.

We all have them. Piles of pillows that are either old, stained, faded or we bought for our inventory, "because they were such a great price" yet never to be used in an actual home. You know what I'm talking about. Don't deny it.

Superstition - it runs rampant in our society. Whether it's a rabbit's foot, a four leaf clover, a horse shoe... maybe even "lucky underwear", a good portion of the population has some kind of personal "lucky charm".
