Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci created stunning works of art that still have the power to make people speechless.
Sadly, as a professional stager, the works of art that my partner and I create sadly don't have that type of longevity (houses sell too fast). We do however create beautiful staging designs that we have captured in photographs and which now grace the pages of our portfolio albums.
Bedroom "Before"
Bedroom "After"
We're proud of these pictures and of the unique designs we create for each of our clients. When we talk to new or prospective clients we encourage them to look at our portfolio because they are indicative of our style and different levels of staging services we offer.
Our portfolio is also a visual journey of our work over the past few years. We all start somewhere but we feel its important to display - and be proud of - the work we have done!
This is why, when I come across a stager who is very obviously not portraying her own work, it makes me upset. Especially when its blatantly not her own work .. and the pictures are obviously interior design photos worthy of a magazine and not the work of a professional home stager.
Misrepresenting the quality, calibre and type of work we do is one of the best ways I know to ensure that consumers don't trust us. And if consumers don't trust us or believe that the work we portray as ours, actually IS ours - well, you know where I'm going with this .. its not anywhere good.
So regardless of whether you're a new stager or an experienced one I encourage you to honestly portray your work in your portfolio - and be proud of it!
