Home-Staging: A Different Way of Looking at Your House
Wednesday, April 11 at 7:30 PM
Maureen Henry owner of Rockland Home Staging shares a proven strategy for using your own furnishings and accessories to create a warm and inviting environment.
Registration begins March 28. - Spaces are still available.

Maureen Henry from Rockland Home Staging spoke to a group of about 20 at the West Nyack Library. The group was interested in Home Staging and Interior Redesign.

The course focused on 5 Redesign Resolutions:

1. Getting Organized

2. Finding your personal style

3. Chooseing a color theme

4. Getting creative - never let a small budget stop you from decorating.

5. Resolving to bring into the home only things that you truely love.

The group was lively and asked a ton of questions. We watched a 10 minute slideshow illustrating the various Redesign Resolutions while snacking on cookies. Everyone had a great time, including the instructor!

IT'S ALL HAPPENING AT THE LIBRARY!

My,My Maureen...you are a marketing machine. Kinda rhymes doesn't it. BTW I left notice on another blog about the desperate situation here...the cookies have yet to arrive and I waited all day by the door but no deliveries....

PS. I think you should have someone film your presentation and then post it on YouTube for all of our benefit.

James - I'm in the process of rectifying the cookie debacle. More to come.

If I had a camera I'd do that. I'll let you know how it goes.

I forgot to mention it in the original post and it really goes without saying but COOKIES WILL BE SERVED.

Hey Guys - thanks for the comments.

Jessica - The 'Event' was listed in the local paper in the upcoming events section. It would have been nice to be included in the Real Estate Section. I really have to work on cultivating that contact. Thanks for the advice.

Hey Maureen

How did it go?? Give us details. Are you bringing cookies??

Guys - Thanks for your words of encouragement.

It went great! My Mom (I mean everyone who attended) had a really nice time and hopefully learned something that they can apply in their own home. I am planning on doing other Library Programs - they really are a lot of fun.

I updated the original blog to add some of the things we discussed at the program. I went over 5 Redesign Resolutions as a starting point to decorating a home.

Oh Maureen, We knew you would do GREAT!!

This is such a good idea. It gets your name and your services out there.Thanks for sharing!

I wonder if I could do this?

Leslie - Libraries are usually desperate for people to speak. It is a lot of fun and you even get paid! Here each library has a person responsible for programs. Here they wanted to do advertise interior redesign because they were not sure they could get a big enough crowd who was miving. But as it turned out they were all really interested in staging. So we split the time. You have to contact each library separately. Another great thing is your town continuing education program. They do one evening seminars. I love teaching classes.

Thanks Maureen, I give it a try!
