Recently I have been staging high-end homes. This has become a new thought process for me and goes along with the times — to rethink your assets and talents and create a new position using your best skills. I must say that I am enjoying this new type of work. I am an experienced designer who has grown tired of the business aspect of the work, not the creative part. Problem is: I still needed an income. Therein lies the quandry.
For years I have been struggling with this aspect of my business not wanting to grow it too large (I know, boo hoo!) so that it takes over my entire life. Instead, I wanted to manage it in such a way that it provided an adequate income allowing me the opportunity to pursue my other interests. I think I’ve found it! Now if it can only find me, we shall see.
I am hopeful that staging homes will be the new trend as homeowners, wanting to sell, see the value of an expert eye giving their home the definition it lacks along with expanding the homes appeal to a larger audience. It is huge physical and mental work with tireless hours, but at the end of the day I can walk away and move on to the next project. This works for me! My brain is free to go to my studio and create my next masterpiece. Well, to at least attempt to. That’s another subject that requires it’s own special page.
So until then, here’s to re-inventing yourself. Hey if, Madonna can do it, so can I.
