When I went into the staging business i was only going to do accessory staging so i went and marketed my self as and accessory stager. The phone calls came and nearly everyone wanted staging with both accessories and furniture and they were all vacant. So the added touch became a full service staging business. I really loved the idea of just doing accessories, because it was 1 cheaper for clients and 2 easier to store. The realtor's thought it was a good idea and the same breath they asked me if I had access to furniture. The only rental company here in Boise Idaho is rent-a-center so I started my quest to purchase furniture. I found that i really enjoyed buying furniture and paring it with the accessories to give the home a complete look. Since starting my business I have done to date 8 vacant stages.They are mentally draining, billing pain in the you what, draining on the pocket book, but it is now my love.It gives me self satisfaction after completing a job and also, having complete creative license over the project which i did't have when i was doing interior design jobs. I know with the market in Idaho vacant staging is what i will mostly do and thats ok because i love it.
