YEAH! Finally I have house number one done! I only have 4 more to complete by Friday (lord give me strength!)
This is also the home that HGTV's Designed to Sell Real Estate Expert, Terry Haas met me at yesterday to see my work. While we didn't do many rooms, it definately helped fix the problem of an awkward family room. The layout was difficult for most buyers to envision a possible seating arrangment.
Stay tuned for homes 2-5 later this week....

Melissa,
As always, another great staging and RES. You are such an inspiration to me!
Melissa,
I just have one question, do you ever sleep? Wow! I'm sure that each one will rival the next! Good luck!!!

I love the RES I have not attempted it as yet. You will find the strength to get it all done, I promise, I had a week like this last week. You know the saying when you want something done give it to a busy woman...you go girl!

Kathleen - the colors were already here. They looked good in the home and are very common colors here in Charleston so I didn't recommend painting.
I will say they (the agents) went an re-arranged the living room furniture this week. I took photos but haven't downoaded them yet. It is their listing, so they can do what they want, but it is funny to me that they pay a professional and then change what we do.
I'll give my commentary on why I disagree with their choices when I download them....
