By |2021-01-27T10:03:31+10:00January 27th, 2021|Business of Staging|

This type of mentorship is completely free, and you can do it concurrently with your everyday activities, like driving a car, washing the dishes, or in my case – assembling furniture [...]

Whoever says the wallet keys phone triple pocket tap is not a part of their ‘leaving-the-house routine’ is either lying… or wearing a handbag.

Our stylists have a similar routine, but instead of Phone, Wallet, Keys – it’s: 1) Steamer 2) Install Bucket It’s not usually a pocket tap-tap [...]

So, you are thinking about starting your own home staging business. How exciting!

How Do You Determine Which Style to Choose? This is a great question and one we get quite often. Let's dig in. For Home Stagers - getting the style right is of paramount importance. It can mean the difference between someone selling their house or not.  After all, these people entrusted us with their livelihoods, which is a responsibility we don’t take lightly.

Every house is unique, and everyone’s situation is different, which means there is no simple answer. But we can [...]
