I am not trying to say that guys don't care about staging or home design, but it has amazed me lately how many men are calling to ask me to come and do consultations for their homes to get ready for re-sale. I've had several call (I think secretly) to see what I can do for them. Each one has asked, if I will be careful not to offend their wife's decorating in the event that I should come. I explain that I always take everyone's feelings and opinions into consideration. I understand that it IS still their home and that if I should ever sell, I would have a stager come and share with me what would be best to put away while I sell the house.
For all those husband's and significant other's, as stagers, I think we try to be very "soft" in our approach when sharing ideas for you and your family. We are not like the shows on tv, where they rudely tell their homeowners that their stuff and taste stinks. Really, I think, on the other hand, we take time to listen and hear you, and approach suggestions from there.
