Although I am slow to jump on each and every bandwagon that comes along I have jumped on the Green Band Wagon.
I am offering Green Home Staging. Home Staging and Green are in may ways a natural fit. Professional Home Stagers (me anyway) reuse furnishings & accessories (from our inventory) in new inventive ways in property after property. Often we find refurbished furnishings or furniture needing a little TLC and use them after the proper repairs have been done.
More than any of that I have always had a policy of recycling my packing materials, reusing boxes, using cloth rags rather then paper towels. I also strongly encourage my clients to donate what they no longer need to a charity of their choice.
Expanding Green Home Staging is easy. There are more & more Green products on the market everyday. I recently found a vendor for bedding that offers all cotton, natural, Green bedding that even comes in Green packaging; not the clear plastic zipper bags that we have seen in recent years. Check them out www.hallmartcollectibles.com to the trade only. Its great!
Beyond all this I offer my clients an education and choices about Green, sustainable products that are environmentally friendly; light bulbs, proper paints, cleaning products & more. Keep Green in mind as you go though your days - Green is Good!
