Clever Ideas for Bed Risers? Does Anyone Use Regulary?

I've seen these in the stores and on tv.  But, are there any other uses for them?  I can think of a few.   Maybe behind a sofa under a short sofa table, pulled out a little, so the table would be elevated above the sofa, so accessories would stand taller.  Or used on bookcases, shelves, or counters.  Maybe stagger them, and put on some books, cover with a coordinated fabric, and then place candlesticks, or other accessories on them.  Surely they can be multi-tasked when not in use under a bed.  Anyone have any clever ideas?

League City-Close to Everything, Far from it all.

League City is a medium sized community in between Houston and Galveston on the Bay.  It is rapidly growing, but still has a main street with that downtown charm.  If you love boats and water sports, League City is the place for you.  You can be downtown in about 40 minutes and Galveston in about 30.  The people in League City are friendly and it gives you a sense of a close community.  You wouldn't know you are 40 minutes away from the 4th largest city in the nation.

From Family Room to Smoking Jacket Required!

This is a redesigned Family room, using only homeowners existing furnishings and accessories.  They were not selling, had friends coming in for weekend.  The walls are paneled in Rosewood.  And all of the furniture was very dark. The husband loves the paneling, and the wife said he would never paint over it.  I found some really unique items, but the picture doens't do the room justice. There was definitely a lighting issue. To try and lighten the room, I found some white accessories, and placed on the bottom of the desk, against wall. For instance in the corner under the plant,  is a wooden two-toned chess board set.  On the coffee table is an old fashioned camera, on books, and a wooden ancient head on opposite side.  Literally pulled from almost every room in house, teens room, master, baths, game room, kitchen, entry and hallway.

Cold Calling 8 Real Estate Offices in 2 days!

Last week, I was in one of our nearby cities, and thought I'm going to test out the waters here. So, I looked up most of the Realtors offices, prepared a list of why Realtors should use home staging, and had befores & afters on glossies in a portfolio.  I'll admit, I hate cold calling and even worse selling something.  But I thought, I've got to get my name out there to Realtors to let them know about my services.  I ended up stopping by 6 Real Estate Offices, handed out about 200 cards, and talked to the receptionists.  It was funny, how everything seems to stop when you walk through the door, and all eyes are on you, even though, it appeared people were looking at their computers.  All of a sudden, all I could hear was my heart beating faster and faster, and my voice echoing through the office.  Just a tad intimidating.   One realtor was standing nearby and said, I need a house staged, let me talk to you.  I'm thinking, "OK, now I'm getting somewhere."  He had a vacant home, which, I have not started doing yet.  Well, shoot!  Everyone was very friendly, liked my pictures, and said no one was doing staging in that area. Good news for me!  And then, I was talking to one receptionist, and a lady standing next to her, blurted "What do you charge!".  Found out later, she was not only a realtor, but an interior designer, think I might have hit a nerve. 

The next day, my goal was to hit 2 more.  As I was leaving town, to visit the last office, I introduced myself, and no sooner did I get home staging out of my mouth, and the office manager said " would you like to give a presentation at one of our Monday morning meetings?"  After singing "I believe I can fly", and break-dancing.  I calmly said, sure, no problem!   So we set up a date, and I am set to present to 15 Realtors. !

The funny thing is, it was later in the day, and I can not tell you how close I came to not stopping at that particular company.  But for some reason, something was telling me to make this last stop. I call it a God-thing!

I have been blessed beyond belief, there are no accidents in life, we are placed in locations for a reason.  And like a small child, I had to toddle along, and got more confident with every step.  I forget, God always watches over me, not just some of time, but, all of the time.

Now, that I've got my feet a little wet, I plan on hitting some local realtors, if nothing more, than to introduce myself, and hand out information and cards.

I found 99% of inquiries have been about vacant staging, so thats what I'm looking into now.
