Staging Works, whether you stage one room or many!! - 02/14/07 09:50 PM

My clients were very skeptical because they absolutely love white, so needless to say that when a color like this goes on a white wall it can appear very dark at first.

I finally made the … (20 comments)

I want to extend a warm welcome to a new, well not so new member, of AR. Mary Jane Devlin of Botanical Accents joined AR from a personal invite from me.
It was not until recently that she and I had the opportunity to work together on a home. My client's want top dollar for their home and they staged every room including new landscaping. I called Mary Jane of Botanical Accents and she presented her bid and just completed the house.
Working together as a team with other professionals to complete the staging of your clients home is something that is invaluable. … (2 comments)
