We hear this quote often. According to Giga Quotes John Howard Payne, an American actor, dramatic poet and song writer, wrote this for a song in "Clari, the Maid of Milan" titled Home Sweet Home. The quote actually begins with 'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like Home.'
This quote has always resonated with me for a variety of reasons. As a little girl, our family was poor. Actually, we were extremely poor. Bread bags with rubber bands served as boots to cover our shoes in the winter. Rent, as we could never own anything, was a whopping 60.00 a month. Despite what we didn't have in our lives, we did have a home. I look back at that period in my life and often times wonder how my mom was able to keep it together. Were there school pictures of us on the walls? No. With 5 children, school pictures were too costly. Were there accessories that occupied space on shelves? No. There was however, a roof over our heads.
So, if you've made it this far into the blog, you're likely asking what does "my being poor" have to do with real estate. Truth be told, it doesn't. What it does share with you is the fact that as a home stager, I feel honored to be invited into your home; to share ideas and to implement changes to further enhance the home.
For those who've given me the opportunity to stage your home; Thank You! For those considering staging, I would be honored.
