Ring... Ring....
Me: Georgia Interior Solutions, this is Kathy.
Homeowner: Hi, my name is Joe and I have a home currently on the market. I'd like to gather some information on your services.
Me: Sure. Where is your home located? Oh, Marietta? That's great as it's an area that I serve. Is the home vacant or occupied?
Homeowner: It's vacant. I see that you offer "key" room staging. Could you explain your process?
Me: Sure (one of my most favorite words). With "key" room staging, we'll stage all the rooms in the home with the exception of the secondary bedrooms. I also offer "whole" home staging, in which case all of the rooms would be staged. If you're interested, Joe, we can come out to your home, at no charge to you, to view the home first-hand. In doing so, I'll gain a sense of the size of the rooms, the scale of the items needed as well as the quantity. Would you be interested in having me see the home?
Homeowner: I'd love that. I reside out of state and will be in Atlanta next week.
Me: Perfect. How does Wed. at 10:00 a.m. work for you?
Homeowner: It works for me as well.
Me: Great. I'll need the address and your cell phone # and we'll plan on meeting you at your home on Wed. Thanks, Joe. I appreciate the opportunity and look forward to meeting you.
The story above is true. Names have been changed (okay, not the "me" part but the "Joe" part). Rooms below are real and have been enhanced to showcase their beauty.

Diana - I thought of YOU today when I placed them on the counter. That's too funny. It definitely has become my "signature."
Thanks for your kind words, Diana.

Elaine - Yes, that's an olive tree. I think I own at least a dozen. Given how much I love olives, I sure wish they were real.
And by the way, when I see roosters, I think of YOU (duh).

Thanks, everyone.
I'm staging a third home this week and don't know that I have a single apple packed. I'll have to go back to the storage unit and pick some up. (smile).
