You Might Be A Redneck Home Stager If...
I live in metro Atlanta, which is Jeff Foxworthy country. Last I heard, he lived about 20 miles up the road from me. We all love him around here.
Last week my husband and I went to the local diner for dinner (supper?) where they have a Jeff Foxworthy calendar on the counter. He has a "You might be a redneck if..." line for every day of the year! That got me to thinking that some of us may be redneck home stagers, but just don't know it. I decided to come up with a list which will help us determine if we fall into that category. If you see yourself (or your stager) in the stipulations below, I don't advise fessing up to it. Here are the determining factors:
You might be a redneck home stager if...
- at any given time, at least one of your clients is named "Bubba."
- your hunting dog accompanies you on every job.
- when tackling curb appeal, your main dilemma is how to camouflage the Chevy on blocks in the front yard.
- decluttering involves getting the homeowners to par down the number of appliances on the front porch.
- your favorite staging greenery is kudzu.
- you've created a CD "mix" for your clients to use during their open house. It includes such favorites as "My Wife Ran Off With My Best Friend, and I Miss Him" and "If the Phone Ain't Ringin', It's Me."
- your staging fragrance of choice is "fried catfish."
- when updating, the homeowners typically replace their "comics" wallpaper with an Elvis mural.
- your staging "trademark" is a greased cast iron skillet placed on the stove.
- you always leave the toilet seat up.
If you have additional criteria to submit, please feel free. We must get the word out before it's too late.
