Nope - no pictures tonite.
Tonight I met Terri, the decorator at the house
and Elizabeth, her friend and my Real Estate Broker.
I've worked with Terri before selling an investment property
and tips on painting for my current house getting it ready to sell.
So when the builders called and said
"go pick out paint"
it was time to panic and call Terri.
Here's the cool part:
I knew she would show up with one of these color fans
and it's impossible to pick anything - it's too much!!
So here's what I did:
I took Terri and Elizabeth to dinner.
We chatted. We laughed.
We shared childhood stories and recipes.
And during dessert, I pull out some pictures
and start presenting:
- here is my favorite color
- here is my favorite bedroom
- here is my favorite clothes outfit
- here is my favorite rug
- here is my favorite stone tile
Terri got it in an instant and started moving the photos around
like she was playing Concentration, matching
themes, color related items, decor ideas.
She knew ME!
Poof.
We drove to the house.
Whe walked thru with her fan but now it was
limited to only a few colors.
She set up floor plans and told me where the couch goes.
It's so much fun when an expert takes you by the hand
and mirrors back to you what you want and need.
Tomorrow I call her rug specialist and
window blind pro.
And where to go to shop for antique cabinet for bathroom!
WooHooooo!!!
