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!

One Year, 5000 Visitors and Still Going Strong – Thank You!

We started the “to be continued” blog on February 28, 2011 with a mission to inform and educate progressive realtors and savvy sellers about the value and benefits of home staging.  This week, we passed the 5000 page view mark with 141 posts. 

Thank you so much for your interest, support and business.

Since we started this little adventure in blogging, we’ve shared conversations we’ve had; ideas we’ve shared; and, projects we’ve worked with proactive Realtors and savvy sellers. 

We’ve even gone international with visitors from the US and 9 other countries.  In fact, we have regular visitors from Russia and the UK and we would love to hear from them via a blog comment or email. 

For that matter, we would love to hear from any and all.  Let us know what you like, don’t like and what you want to see more of in the future.

In addition to the “to be continued” readers, we also pick up about 60 visits each month to our Transitions website (http://transitions-home-staging.com ) which features lots and lots of examples of the more than 400 houses we’ve staged.

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

Whatever your motivation, read a few and enjoy!!
