What are you thankful for??? Here's 15 off the top of my head:

1.    Ticky-Tac- I have never known the exact name for this stuff, but it’s that gummy stuff that you use for a gazillion different things. I am so thankful for ticky-tac because I put it on the corners of art-work I hang so that it won’t shift back and forth as a breeze blows or even if someone knocks into it. It’s fabulous for keeping artwork and photos strait!

2.    Downy Wrinkle Reducer- I hate ironing with a fiery passion. I love wrinkle reducer with the same fiery passion. It’s a life saver and it stays in my trunk.

3.    My little Tomato-Strait Pin holder – Whoever invented this is a genius. Pure genius. If you have every tried to fish a strait pin out of a haystack of pins in one of those clear/black plastic containers, you know exactly what I am talking about. Ouch!

4.    No-Slip pads – A rug is just not a rug without a no-slip pad underneath it. I am so thankful for these. They keep your rugs in place and you don’t have to worry about them slip-sliding around.

5.    Glass Cleaner – I have officially decided that you can clean just about anything with glass cleaner in a pinch.

6.    My Woman-Sized drill pack – My father-in-law bought me this and it stays in my trunk as well. A re-chargeable mini drill with a ton of bits to choose from. It’s wonderful and makes me feel like Tim, The Tool Man, Taylor when I have to pull it out!

7.    Faux Green Apples – Instantly add a touch of organic-feel to any home on the market as a centerpiece or item in the kitchen…without worrying about fruit flies.

8.    Temporary Paper Shades – Perfect for that newly constructed home with nothing on the windows. These are great for adding a private and intimate feel.

9.    My old-school Electrolux vacuum cleaner – Nothing gets hard surface floors cleaner than my ancient Electrolux vacuum cleaner (except it’s not so easy to carry around).

10.    My “Fabric Fresh” carpet and upholstery spray – I have no clue where to buy this (inherited a few bottles from a friend), but it’s the best fabric-fresh stuff out there. I will be so sad when I run out.

11.    Gorilla Glue – Enough said.

12.    My mom’s sewing machine – I don’t know that I could correctly sew a button on a shirt (pathetic, I know). I am so thankful for mom and her sewing machine.

13.    Paint – I am so thankful for paint. It’s so versatile and can instantly change the look of a room without spending a fortune.

14.    My husband’s flair for home-staging – I am not sure if it is completely “there” yet, but he sure is close and it’s so very endearing to see him try.

15.    Forward-thinking and “big-picture” homeowners, builders and real estate agents – I appreciate you all! Without you, the staging business just wouldn’t make a lick of sense.

Aloha Amber,

Great list to be thankful for. I was very thankful for Gorilla Glue until two days ago when my dog pulled it out of my work bag and started chewing up the bottle. I was very lucky and thankful that she brought it to me just as the glue was oozing all over her and the house. Happy Thanksgiving!

Peace,

GREAT LIST !!!

My knees are thankful for carpet samples and disposable tupperware-type containers....

we cut up the carpet samples into squares and place them face-down under heavy furniture feet to slide it around on hardwood. W slip the containers under furniture legs for moving over carpet. We have a set for every car, the truck , and if we lose them, we can always get more!

AND MAGIC ERASERS!!!!  I practically sleep with mine,  I love it so much.

Gorilla Glue......YES!!  I use it for just about everything, but my favorite story doesn't involve staging or home repair at all.  A few years ago, my daughters and I had just arrived in Clearwater Beach for a long girls weekend of fun.  My youngest promptly broke her glasses!  I walked to a CVS and bought a bottle.  Weekend saved!

Great list all around!

I love it that your husband is a "stager" too!

Gorilla Glue and Magic Erasers are priceless!

I'm thankful for my furniture slides and brown sharpie markers (to hide scratches and dings on furniture and cabinets).

Great list Amber and I am thankful for all those things as well.  I LOVE Gorilla Glue!  I actually have a very cool metal belt and once when it dropped the very cool buckle fell off as it was welded on.  I wasn't sure what to do but tried the Gorilla Glue on it and lo and behold it worked!
