Greetings Homebodies – When someone asks what I “DO”?? I tell them I help people with their homes. I “FLUFF”… Perk things up a little – point out those lil places that need help. Many times I assist Realtors’ clients to ready their homes for “market.” Every address is different and requests are varied; from suggesting a new front door color, tweaking what you already have and moving things around a bit, to taking someone’s garden to a “Snip more under-control.”
Most of us appreciate a friend with a “Fresh Perspective”. I often tell the story of my “Once -upon -a -time,” co-owner of “The Yard Ladies”, who showed up at my front door with a bedraggled, dead azalea in her hand. At my conflicted facial expression she stated that it was from the end of my driveway and she was tired of looking at it! It was bad for business!
Moral of the story: We become accustomed to our own mishaps …… and just don’t see what others do! Happens to the best of us!
