Home Staging Blog by Jennie Norris

Oops - I meant "Jacka-pheas-Alope" the rare combination breed of Jackrabbit, pheasant and antelope!  And you all thought there was only the JACKALOPE! - Jennie

Gee, Jennie, I can't believe you couldn't find a "place of honor" for that work of art....didn't they have a mantel? lol

I have a real doozie but I am going to keep everyone in suspense, for right now, because I am currently building a blog around it.  I will give a heads up when I am ready to unveil it.

Great blog....I want to see more!

Jennie, waht did you tell them about that jackalope?  We are in the south so MOOSE heads are BIG here! lol

Marci - it's the old standard - "That's incredible tell me about that." And then if they don't already know it HAS to go - then we have the conversation about it being so amazing that buyers will be drawn into looking at IT and not the house.  And we are selling the HOUSE and not the (Moose, jackapheasalope, naked sculpture, etc.). . . works every time!

I once had a client with BULL The moose - he and his daughter shot it on a trip together (how nice!).  He was SO proud of Bull.  He was the first "person" he greeted in the morning and the last "person" he said goodnight to.  Incidentally, Bull hit the open road as they were moving to North Carolina!  He just had to pack him up and move him early . . . I am sure Bull is happy in your neck of the woods!

Judy - Can't wait for the grand unveiling!!! - Jennie

Jennie...I hope Bull is happy here in the carolinas, prayerfully BULL wont have to relocate AGAIN~or at least they wont call our team to stage!  Those things weird me out!

I once had a client with a large black bear, a bobcat that was launching itself out of the wall, and some other small hairy creature with long teeth and claws - of course, all prized possessions in the main bonus room.  It's bad enough dealing with the beer steins and pool table, without having to figure what to do with the Grizzly Adams collection!  Thank goodness for Storage! - Jennie

  Need I say more?

Oh my gosh!  It's a CONVENTION of dead antlers! - That's INCREDIBLE! - Jennie (LOL)

Any other crazy Staging sights out there?! I can't believe these would be the only ones!  We have to have the humor with the work we do . . . - Jennie

 

Jennie --- You asked for it so here it is! 

Can you imagine answering nature's call while staring into that face! 

 

 

 

I still plan to feature it in an upcoming blog. 

Oh My gosh!!  That is too funny!  Perhaps they had conversations while they were doing their thing . . . was the urinal actually IN a house or was this an office or ???  Where is the toilet?  People are strange, that's all I have to say! - Jennie

When this house was built, the husband insisted on having his own urinal.  The wife agreed...with the stipulation that he be the one to clean it.   When someone gave him the deerhead, the wife knew the perfect place for it.  Fortunately, I was able to convince them that the deerhead needed to be amongst the first things to be packed! 

I can't imagine having a urinal built in a house - amazing!  That is truly a first for me - and I thought I'd seen it all! - Jennie

Jennie -- I have staged 2 houses with urinals and 3 with bidets.  To me, that is one of the best parts of this job...getting to see unique homes that most people are not privvy to.
