It's funny how things cross paths. It's been said before that there are no coincidents. HHHMMMM.... My husband, Tim, does home improvement and handy-man services around northern Atlanta, which has been great because he is my 'handy-man' referral on my written consultations for home staging clients. He is also a recommended vendor for our Metro-Atlanta ASHSR chapter. We've created that opportunity for things to cross paths for us, but this situation was really cool.
Recently he was hired, by referral from one of his other clients, to replace doors for a man in Roswell. Through conversation, and mentioning my home staging business, my husband found out that this man was an inventor and had, in fact, created a tool he'd tried to market to home stagers! Actually, he claims to have sold some to a group of Canadian home stagers although I never found out what group.
Pretty ironic, right?
He gave my husband a sample of the tool to bring home to me to try out. It's called the Picture Placer. It is a tool to be used when hanging art work that uses wires. You simply hang the print on the Picture Placer, then decide where you want the print to hang on the wall and then gently push the art against the wall to create a small mark to indicate where to hang the picture-hanging hook. Voila, hang your art on the hook and you have the print where you want it. No need to rehang because it was up too high or too low, or too far to the left or right.
Check out their website for more information, including a video tutorial, and to order yours today.
And no, I don't get a commision for any sales. Just sharing a cool tool that might be of interest and worth an investment to your home staging tool kit.
