Simplify.
I am reading a book on Simplicity. It's about decluttering your life. Isn't that what resesigners and stagers do for homes? It just makes sense to simplify your life also.

I'm not totally there yet but I've made progress. A left-brained friend has been helping me. It's liberating.
 
It's such a relief to streamline your schedule and get rid of distractions. Clutter is anything that keeps you from moving toward your goals. I'm renovating my life! It's sort of like unloading a backpack of full of bricks.
 
Here is a video response, HGTV style, from a popular Watson agent who recently got a Redesign. She confessed that she could not imagine that we would find anything that needed to be changed or removed. But she loved the decluttered result.
 
 
Here's a quote from Oprah that I love... 

"As we begin to recognize ourselves for who we really are---thinkers, leaders with limitless potential to transform not only ourselves but also the world around us---chaos in the car, at home, or at the office becomes the exception and excellence becomes the rule. When we speak, we're the first to hear our words, to feel their impact. What we say and think manifests itself as the life we create, one choice at a time. And when we fill our lives with things that uplift us, we become a product of that environment. We want to give the world our best, and we want the best in return. Maintaining a gorgeous home or apartment is about respecting the very important person who lives in it...YOU."

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

BACKSTAGE 

    

*Our kick-off meeting for the Jacksonville chapter of RESA - the Real Estate Staging Association - was a huge success. Everyone agreed that it was energizing to connect and brainstorm about staging.

We will meet on first Fridays. The November meeting is the 5th at 9:45 till 11:15AM EDT. The location is the SouthEast Branch of the public library. 10599 Deerwood Park Blvd. Jax. 32256. It is just off Gate Parkway south of Butler. 904-996-0325.

 

The meeting is for stagers, designers, real estate agents and anyone interested in staging. Invite your friends who were trained in different schools. WE ARE FAMILY!

*We will announce a replay of our last webinar soon. New pictures of a recent rehab house have been added. Stay tuned.

 

*The Continuing Ed approval is in the works. We will be able to offer CEU's to agents. Next year we are planning to offer CEU's for ASID designers also. We are excited about this  new opportunity.

 

 

* Last but not least: 


 As mentioned before, pretty soon, we will be unveiling a brand-new website... new colors, etc. (see new logo above) The jazzy vibe will still be there, but it will be simpler and easier to navigate... a good thing. I didn't know it was "cluttered" till someone sat me down and told me the truth. Sigh!
