DON'T YOU JUST LOVE IT WHEN SOMEONE ROLLS THEIR EYES BEHIND YOUR BACK ?

By
Home Stager with HOME STYLE AND STAGING LLC

 

  Recently, I was at a location where the owner of a new shop had asked her friend, who I might add, has no training in re-design, staging or design. So I am standing there, not saying a word (which for me is somewhat odd ). She was trying to arrange a lobby that had too much furniture and a rug that could not fit going straight from one side to the other without being way off center. I watch, all the while, picturinghow she could arrange things and it would look amazing. She finally says, what can I do here ? I thought that meant she wanted my advice. So I said why not turn the rug cattey-cornered ? She walked behind me and ROLLED HER EYES, oh yes she did !! I just walked away, said nothing, just walked away....Oh how I wanted to say lots of things to her, but did not. AND we will not even bring up some of the decorations that she had in there...Have you ever been in a situation like this before ?

There are times holding your tongue is better than saying a word. I tell my son to Move On.

In this situation it was certainly her loss!  If she only knew whose brain she had the opportunity to pick!

Happens all the time, sometimes they roll right in front of me.  I love when people seek out a professional, usually for free advice and they say oh no, that's not right, well alrighty and as my dad use to say "knock yourself out honey".

Funny how the ones who do the eye thing are usually blind. :)

I just wonder Mary Lou, if AFTER you left, she gave it a whirl? You may need to find yourself in the part of town very soon, just to see... Wouldn't that be a hoot?

Yup.,.and they don't even know the difference so they don't see it.  Job security, ehh??? But she'll never know enough to realize it.  Then again she wouldn't be much fun to work with anyway.
