Karen’s Korner – CONTEST Alert

For years I have wanted to do this … and now that I have my OWN business … I can!!!!

Most of you know – I started my career in this industry – by staging homes for Realtor friends of mine.  I LOVED that job….except I truly did not consider it “work” – it was more like a HOBBY I got paid for!  

With minimal prep or information – I would arrive at a home and have approx. 3 hrs to TRANSFORM it from:

  • good to GREAT
  • cluttered to streamlined
  • minimalistic to lived in
  • cold to homey

Well, you get the point!  

I helped homes go from their current state – to their BEST possible version – without taking everything out and bringing in all NEW stuff from Restoration Hardware ðŸ˜‰

I always loved hearing the feedback:

“I never thought of putting that there”

“I wish we had done this for ourselves – BEFORE we were going to move”

“It looks like it always should have been like this”

“I love it”

After working as a realtor, and using these skills to successfully photograph and SELL homes, it became evident that there is value for clients – when they move INTO their new homes as well.  

One of my best friends was unpacking – when I stopped in to see her primary bedroom.  I gently asked why she had arranged the bedroom furniture that way…she replied with “that’s where it goes“.  I must have looked confused.  She then said – “that’s where the last owners had it.”  AHHHHH…she could only SEE it that way based on that old information.  I asked her many questions – who needs a window open close to the bed, who needs a table with a plug, and a clock, who gets up in the bathroom during the night more often etc etc…..then we started over.  Placed the furniture in a way that made sense for their lifestyle!  

I have the ability to see the room(s) differently from the start.  I also have the patience to try it MANY different ways – before deciding on a final location.

So now is where the CONTEST comes in…NOT interested in selling – but want to LOVE your home – and make it as functional as possible?

Every month – I will come to one home – and help you transform your space!  You can ask my advice on ANYTHING – from area rug size design and placement, where to hang art, styling queries, positioning furniture, paint colors, organizing, lighting options and more.  Indoors or outdoors!!!   We can move things around; I can give advice on future renovation projects (I will help you decide whether spending the money is worth it!).  We can even shop together for small items – that will update your space – or pull a room together!

Each month the Contest will be posted on Facebook under the ClientFirst page during the first week.  *See details there  

All I ask, is that I am allowed to take before and after photos to post on social.  Don’t worry – I will never disclose whose house I am in – or your address.  If you want to – that’s ok!!!!!

My friends have been benefitting from this “service” for years…..now it’s your turn!!!!!!  Please feel free to share contest details with friends…….I want everyone to LOVE where they live.  ðŸ˜˜
