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!

My Work Recognized as Top 10 Best Occupied Stagings™North America

2012 was truly an amazing year for me capped off in December by being recognized by the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) for my work!  Two examples of my home staging work were recognized as one of RESA’s Top 10 Best Occupied Stagings™North America.  Both are Tulsa properties listed with local realtors -- you can see photos of these houses at our website http://www.transitions-home-staging.com/

This national honor is really a testament to my proactive realtors and savvy sellers who recognize the value and return on their investment in professional home staging.  We work as a team to create buyer-friendly spaces to sell houses for the best price in the shortest amount of time.

The RESA award is also a validation of my work.  It is proof positive that the work that I do in our part of the country is equal to or better than work done in the rest of the country.  Professional home staging may be in its early stages in the Tulsa area but this award shows that what we do here is good work.

And I must confess that it means a great deal to me to know that the top professional home stagers from across the US and Canada voted on all the entries and I ranked among the Top Ten in North America.  You can view all of the entries at http://www.realestatestagingassociation.com/

Today’s Tulsa World features an article about this RESA honor as well as about professional home staging.  Read more from this article (Tulsa-area home-stager earns national recognition) at http://www.tulsaworld.com/scene/article.aspx?subjectid=41&articleid=20130115_44_D2_CUTLIN978677.

I will be competing for the overall title which will be announced at the RESA convention in late January.  And yes, Walt and I have our tickets for San Francisco, the site of the convention. 

Who knows, I might just win!!  After all, anything is possible!!


Dwell in possibilities
