Don't Sweat The Small Stuff

I have a client who is putting her house on the market in a few weeks. She has been diligently working to get rid of clutter, etc. One room took me less than 15 minutes to stage and that is the laundry room. Don't forget about staging this room, if it's furnished w/ appliances or if it's particularly nice. Look at the before pic:



And the after pic: what a difference just by cleaning it out!! Now it looks fresh, much larger, and like you'd want to do laundry in there. Just a simple example how effective staging is, even if it's a smaller room.

2018 Ramblings.....

Happy 2018! There have been several reasons why I haven't posted in a while. For starters, I have been sick for several weeks. I have had every symptom except for vomiting. I did not get the flu vaccine this season...I believe that if getting a flu vaccine is 'strongly recommended,' then the vaccine's effectiveness should be far higher than 10%. (It was only 14% last year)....I know that if you get the flu after having the vaccine, it's supposed to be a milder case...but still, 10% is a failing grade on any scale. One of the reason it's so hard for the 'vaccine inventors' to get it right is because the doggone bacteria keep mutating to prevent from becoming eradicated, so it's really a shot in the dark.

I also have had some pretty major computer issues (not sure they're fixed). Buying a new desktop is not something I am looking forward to, but I know it is inevitable someday. So I am asking for your patience as I continue to get better and work through a few challenges. Signing off for now.
