SOLD!!

So, here's the thing... I have been staging and home managing for three years. Many of you know this about us already...when we moved in October, we left the company we were staging for, because we could not find another, and were in financial straights.

In December, the 14th exactly, Ted got a call for work after having been off for almost 18 months. It was bittersweet. We were happy that he had work, but sad that we would have to part, for an undetermined time. He is still gone.

In the meantime, I still LOVE to re-purpose, re-design, re-stage, and re-arrange. It makes one feel so GOOD and gives a newness to an old situation.

So, while on one of my trips to meet Ted halfway, I was "iced in" due to a major ice storm. During that week, I decided to use the time to help out my aunt and uncle who were thinking about selling their house. They'd had a realtor come and see it and give some feedback. He said there was a lot to be done...they told him what I do and he thought that would be great -- so here we go!!

It was a bit of a challenge, because most of the stuff was "well used" and there wasn't any money to purchase new things. But I was determined to make it "new"...if only to help THEM enjoy it and feel better.

The realtor loved the changes, and called to say he had someone he wanted to show it to. The call came on Friday...showing on Saturday... AN OFFER WAS MADE ON SUNDAY, and the house wasn't even listed yet!!! So, does STAGING SELL HOMES???

YES INDEED!!!
