Whoopie!  Got the big OK last night via email, picked up the check and paperwork this morning...so I'm ready to fulfill my staging plan for the "home theater/guest room" in the (soon-to-be) completed bonus room, RIGHT?  Wait - something told me to go back and check the room. 

This is an unfinished bonus room in the Seaview Village development where I did the model unit.  Sales have been good, considering the market, and these homes appeal to young couples and single men.  These are townhouses, and this bonus room is behind the garage on the first floor.  The builders decided to finish it off and asked me to bid on furnishing it.  When I originally went to look at it, measure, etc., I measured the neighboring unit's bonus room which had been completed.  They're all the same, right?  Same square footage, same layout (or a mirror image)...cookie-cutter. 

WRONG!  I'm in there today, snapping pictures, working around the electrician...and then, WHOA!  What's that...that...that bump-out in the corner?  Something has been boxed in; the model unit is an end unit, with different structural needs than the interior units.  This wall will have a low dresser/console and large flat-screen TV on it.  Good thing I was there and re-measured, because my original furniture selection won't fit - off to market!

One of my favorite sayings is from my brother's shop teacher (the one with a couple of sawed-off fingers...no kidding!!!):  "Measure twice, cut once!"  I was wrong to assume - it paid to listen to my intuition, go back to check the actual room I was to stage, and measure twice!

 Yup, there it is!
