Prepping for tomorrow’s staging and photos! It’s not a just sign here process. I strategically bring in pieces that coordinate and enhance the a home’s features. It is a few days of planning, gathering and knowing exactly where each piece is going so I’m in and out and ready for my photographer to work his magic.
