After being here for only 4 days, I can honestly say that home staging is exhausting! So far this week, I have tagged along for 2 complete home stagings (the houses were completely vacant and we had to fill them up), at least 6 trips back and forth to various storage units, 2 all-nighters, and probably about 30 hours of driving total. All that in 4 days! I think I get less sleep doing this than I do during the school year, which is saying a lot. All I can say to those of you who do this on a regular basis is, congratulations, you are truly amazing!

Cindy and Kate~ All I can say is that is a lot of work! I have to have my sleep or else I am worthless!
Sounds like you've had a busy week. Keep on going and it will all be good.
I'm sure it is a lot of work! However, the results will be worth it. Hang in there! :)
Hang on for the ride Kate, Cindy is a staging machine and it will only get better ;) Best of luck to you.
Hang in there, Kate, just make sure you're sister is taking care of you ;-).
It CAN be very exhausting work - both physically and mentally. Balancing budgets and color schemes and spatial relationships AND people -- whew! Maybe we should charge more :)
THis is very hard work, people just don't realize it. Initially it seems fun to an onlooker, but after a few hours they are wiped out. You will be a wiz at it before you know it. COFFEE AND LOTS OF WATER

As I was moving my last storage unit tonight while loading my car to stage a vacant this week I was thinking this same thought today! If only our clients really knew how much work it is just to complete one job. Maybe we should do a "secret life of a stager" show to really show what it's like.
