Debbie Wheeler-Rooms Rearranged - Home Stager

So far 2009 has been a little slow for vacants, but never fear we have a back-up plan to get us through some lean months.  We've been doing a lot of redesigns - using what the clients already own (I'm sure you are familiar with redesigns).  We had a call from a super sweet young couple to redo th...

  At times, it's scary being a stager. We were at a staging job for an occupied home yesterday.  The Realtor warned us before we arrived, that the clients were not eager to have us there.  Why, I don't know. This particular Realtor gives her clients 3 hours of our expertise on each listing, whet...

Okay - I hope you read my other post on buying a camera.   Debbie's Post  I will be the (Guinea pig) for those in search of a new camera for their staging projects.  For those who want to keep track of my progress, here are some pictures I took today from a few of our staged homes.  I need constr...

Oh honey - you're so cute - get up and let me show you how it's done. I feel so techy.......NOT! But I am always trying to learn something new.

  Okay - I'm doing it, I'm venturing out into the world of AR.  A recent post in Stage-It-Forward about leaving your comfort zone and blogging in other groups got me thinking.  I have mainly stayed in the comforting walls of SIF since joining AR.  So hello Arizona - let's get to know one another....

I want to ask the Active Rain SIF bloggers what they would do.   My head hurts!             In the sluggish market of AZ. we've had many success stories.  Homeowner listings that have been on the market for over a year have hired us - we staged it - it sold.  Sometimes within a few months or a fe...

I received an e-mail the other day from a friend who sent me a "Life Expectancy Calculator" Virtual Age Calculator from Peter Russell's site, Created by Poodwaddle.com After answering the questions, I realized there are some pretty simple techniques to extend our life expectancy. Did you know by ...

     Do you ever feel like Jane of the Jungle?  I'm sure most of you have found yourself in a predicament like this one.  You know - the times when you think you have everything for a staging job and then you realize you forgot something.  My sister took this picture of me driving from the passen...
