So read the first email this morning.  One of my dearest friends, very busy,prolific, successful wealth management and retirement planner.

Here's the article:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/20/garden/20dressing.html?_r=1&oref=slogin&pagewanted=all

Its title is actually "Setting the Stage, Offstage..." and it's about how Broadway actors decorate their dressing rooms.  It's jolly good fun... but it's not really what I think of as staging.  Or is it?  What do you all think?

The job of educating the consumer, aka our closest friends, we still have ways to go.  These small steps are killing my feet!

When Harvey Fierstein left ‘Hairspray,' he took a picture of the walls and made a card for the cast and crew that said, ‘If this is what loving you did to my dressing room, imagine what you did to my heart.' "

Isn't that sweet?

Those are true "nesting" examples - taking what's available and making a home.  Julie

Juliet, thanks for sharing the article.  Until now I had never thought about peoples "homes away from homes".  This points out that in some cases, where a person goes to do their work is really a second home  to them.

Juliet ~  Cool! I love Andrea martin's room, remember staging to live in the house or dressing room is personal and at that point everything goes. The way we live is completely different than the way we market a home. If they were to sell those dressing rooms definitely personal pictures would have to come down.

And Andrea had to remove the personal pictures. the other one looks neutral so it could be sold as is !!

Juliet ~ Wow!  I never would have thought about decorating dressing rooms (or that they even were allowed to), but I guess it really is their home away from home when they are doing a show.  I think it's great they were able to put their imprint on these rooms, and each one so different.

Once a Manhattan realtor, I have bought and sold 12 homes in 19 years in 4 countries. That, and 7 years of staging homes for sale in New Jersey adds up to a lot of experience. If any of it can help another, I have served my purpose. Thank you, AR members, for your own generous sharing.
