Since creating the “to be continued” blog, I’ve been closing each post with the words “dwell in possibilities.” I must confess that I borrowed this phrase from the great poet, Emily Dickinson. I saw her quote and realized that it summed up what I am doing as a professional home stager and interior designer.

I am most grateful to Ms. Dickinson for her insightful and inspiring phrase.

Regardless of the size or price range of a house, my objective is to find the possibilities in that house. I am looking for those unique features of that house and finding possible ways to accentuate them for the potential buyer. I am analyzing those unusual spaces that buyers find difficult to understand upon first glance and finding possible functional uses for those spaces.

In the end, my mission is to help the potential buyer see how they could dwell in the possibilities of this house!

3000 Visitors and Counting – Thanks!

to be continued” reached another milestone passing the 3000 visitor mark! 

Since we started this little adventure in blogging, we’ve shared 90 posts about home staging thanks to the conversations we’ve had; ideas we’ve shared; and, projects we’ve worked with proactive Realtors and savvy sellers. 

The good news for us is that we have an audience who reads what we write and likes what we do because you tell us.  In addition to the “to be continued” readers, we also pick up about 400 visits each month to our Transitions website (http://transitions-home-staging.com ) which features lots and lots of examples of the more than 300 houses we’ve staged.

In honor of this latest milestone, we are providing a list of “oldies but goodies” blog posts from the past seven months.  For our newer followers, this list gives you a guide to some “blog conversations” about home staging.  For our faithful followers, you may remember and use an idea or a catchphrase from one of these “oldie but goodies”.
