What do I do in those rare moments I have spare time? Say I have 15 minutes before I have to leave for a client's home. The last project is done and there is not enough time to start on the next....I go to realtor.com, select a location, select a price range, and look at the for-sale photos.
Sometimes the house has been beautifully staged. Here, I seek new ideas and admire the work. I try to learn from other professionals.
Sometimes the house has been poorly staged. I can see signs this is not the way to sellers lived in it when it was their Home, but it is not well-merchandised as a Product. I really, really try to learn what does not work from these photos.
Sometimes the house is unstaged. In my mind, stage it. I think about whether painting would be cost-effective. I look at the tschotckes and decide what is clutter to remove, what is an accessory and where it should be placed to showcase the room. I move rugs around or remove them. I rearrange the furniture.
Yep, everyone has their own idea of fun.
Like most Stagers, staging is one of mine.
