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!

What Happens in Vegas Comes Back to Oklahoma!

For the next few days, I will be continuing conversations from the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) convention be held in Las Vegas.  What happens here will not stay here.  I plan to share highlights, information, observations, insights and conversations from the RESA convention.

RESA was founded in 2007 as a way for stagers to connect with other stagers and to elevate the status level of stagers within the Real Estate Community.  According to RESA founder Shell Brodnax, “RESA has provided unity and legitimacy for the home staging industry… The real estate community is indeed recognizing home staging as a legitimate and valuable asset.”

I’ve only been here a few hours and already I’ve had a great time meeting and learning from other stagers – and that was only in the hotel lobby and opening cocktail reception.  We all have the same challenges (inventory management, storage, pricing) and wrestle with the same dilemmas.  The industry is so new! We are all on the ground floor of this industry. 

Imagine the possibilities I will discover today when the RESA conference begins.  Stay tuned for more from Las Vegas.

Dwell in possibilities
