New Adventures

It has been way to long since I've blogged. I almost forgot how to post! But none the less, here I am once again.

Many things have happened over the months, well years but a new highlight that I wanted to post is a new adventure I am taking with my mom and that is starting a business in Staging and Redesign!

Staging is a process in which you prepare homes for sale in a way that would best display it's features architecturally and enhance the space for better buyer appeal. Statistically a staged home stands out from the rest of the homes on the market.

Redesign has many of the same foundational goals and methods as staging however the redesign of the space is based on it's function. Design changes may even be in greater depth and quantity.

My mom and I took a week long Staging and Redesign class the middle of last month and thoroughly enjoyed it. Talk about drinking from a fire hose!

To learn more about the Staging and Redesign class go here and you'll find lots of information! 

We learned how to create joyful new environments while using what the homeowners already had within the surrounding of the home which meant, shopping the house! The results were amazing!

It was amazing to see what you can do with selected items you already had to choose from without having to purchase anything. You truly can rejuvenate a space without starting from scratch!

 It's such a sweet reminder of "Therefore if any person is [in-grafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!" II Corinthians 5:17 AMP

 Every staging experience is such a sweet reminder of the precious undeserved gift we have in and through Jesus and my heart continues to grow in overwhelming gratitude.

As these past couple of weeks have taken off, and with them more staging opportunities, it will be so neat to see what the Lord will do next and where He continues to take this business!
