Container Store coupon: 25% off from Oprah through April 13th!
Not sure if this was posted yet but Peter Walsh was on Oprah recently decluttering and organizing. I don’t usually watch Oprah but this was a pretty good show AND you can download a 25% off coupon for Container Store that you can use in the store, online or on the phone. That’s pretty awesome! […]
chocolate brown is my new black
I’ve been using chocolate brown now for a while instead of black for front doors, bathroom cabinetry headboards when staging to sell. And I just love it. I have a current client who is building a headboard for their master bedroom (bed, white duvet, limp curtains, white walls . . . you get the picture). Luckily […]
Seth Godin’s blog today – real estate agents should read this!
Posted by Seth Godin on March 17, 2009 – very pertinent to agents of all sorts but especially real estate agents in our market today, as well as other service people like stagers and inspectors. I copied and pasted it in it’s entirety – hope it doesn’t break any A/R rules but this is his […]
really like twitter & linked in, not so much facebook
So it turns out that twitter is really fun – quick, easy and to the point. Love it. Linked In – nice way to keep a business face out there and requires minimal maintenance. Facebook – too chaotic and no way to really separate business and personal. Think I’m going to pull it. Blogger – […]
Scaling Down: Living Large In A Smaller Space
Just read this book by Judi Culbertson and Marj Decker. Excellent. As a professional organizer, I applaud everything in this book, and as someone who lives in a 1945 house that is 1060 s/f, everything they say resonated with me. I work with clients all the time in cavernous houses with tons of junk. Yes, […]
twitter thoughts
I recently got a twitter account and I’m not sure what to make of it. I decided to follow a few people and see what happens. Being kind of a talker, it’s hard to keep my thoughts to a minimum. Then, I have to wonder – does anyone really care if my cat is trying […]
what you post is out of your control . . .
You know what’s weird, is that I started to write a post, then decided I didn’t want to write that post and switched to this one. The thing is, the original post had some content, that, if seen by 1 or 2 people could potentially be hurtful to them, or to me in a business sense. […]
home energy audits – and a new job for my husband
As some of you may know, my husband has been a home inspector for a while. With the downturn in the market, we did some re-evaluating and I basically said to him, “when the market picks back up, is this what you want to continue doing?”. He thought about if for a while and realized […]
Free Seminar in Nashville: affordable, green building construction
Got this email recently from a friend of mine, Lynn Taylor. She’s a local architect that specializes in urban infill with a vintage feel. If you are in the Nashville area, this may be a great seminar to go to. If you aren’t, I bet Lynn would love to hear from you and maybe she […]
Staging seminar a success!
My thanks to Church Street Flooring & Design, “B” Lucas Thrower and Karen Jones for helping me make a terrific staging seminar last Thursday night! We had a great turnout despite major traffic jams. Our goal was to educate realtors and home owners about the benefits of staging, and give some specific tips and techniques […]
