Today’s Blog Post
A Little Promotion does us all Good – Meet Debbie Karpenko
Two and half years ago I met Debbie Karpenko. We were sitting in the same class getting ready to launch our new businesses.
There were six of us sitting around the table. When it came time to tell a little about what we were planning to do and what our business was about… I can truly say that I had no clue about what she did.
She said something about “Interior Decorating” and something about “Staging”. We were able to ask our fellow students about their businesses and I needed to know what “staging” was all about.
Things had happened way to fast in the real-estate world for me to keep up.
Debbie described that when person was wishing to sell there home, they would “stage it” – getting it ready for the show or showing.
I knew when I wanted to sell our previous house I simply needed to clean it up, make sure the bathroom was clean and put the old newspapers away.
Duh! Was I ever behind the times! Now, it is likely that you will sell your house better and faster if you get rid of most of your junk, splash new paint on the walls and get a fresh look to your old digs. You liked the place that way that you decorated it – but some one else won’t… and that may influence their decision to by your mansion!
I looked at Debbie at that moment like she had two heads… or maybe that is the way she was looking at me like I had two heads.
Sorry Debbie – but I was a little baffled by what you told us that day.
That was two and half years ago. Ancient history.
Since that time Debbie and her husband have become our friends.
Yesterday Debbie and I spent the afternoon together at our home. We worked all afternoon on her new movie slide show – getting it just right.
I am inviting you to take a look at it and give me some feed back(actually give Debbie some feedback).
As I looked at Debbie’s work in the video, I can testify that it is amazing the work that she does. She can look at a room that you live in, listen to what you would like as far as changes are concerned and then begin to transform it all in her thoughts and dreams for you.
In the video you will see the “Before” and then the “After” shots of the rooms and homes that she has done.
Debbie is an artist in everyway. She can visualize what can be and then with some hard work make it happen.
Debbie – I think the biggest transformation is that of my thinking and understanding now. I now understand “staging” better… and have a whole new appreciation for “Interior Decorating” – WOW!
The way that we are the same…
I can take a log or a piece of wood, look at it, dream about it and then apply my tools to it. Within a short time something like a Bear or a Dog or a Chain or whatever will come popping out of the wood. I visualize that something I want and it comes out of the log or piece of wood.
Debbie can take a really tough looking room, some very tired old furniture and with her effort, it is transformed into something that belongs in a Home and Garden Magazine!
She does with or to a room and the furniture what I do to a log. She transforms it into something beautiful. “WOW”!
If you are a regular reader of this Blog I am asking you to help Debbie today. She needs a little promotion… we all do.
I am asking that you copy these three links into an email and then send it to as many friends as you can. Here they are…
