Richmond, Virginia Interior Redesign/Home Staging Workshop a Complete Success!


I just returned from Richmond, Virginia where we had quite a successful interior redesign/home staging workshop. Lori, the workshop coordinator did an outstanding job in locating our project homes. In fact, thanks to Lori's careful planning, we completed a total of ELEVEN room transformations! Everyone worked very hard but had a lot of fun in the process. The final day was the the most rewarding for me personally because we were invited into the home of a single father with two sons. Everyone knows how typical bachelors live so you can imagine the challenge. Our new ladies were up to the task and did an outstanding job! The reveal was my all time personal favorite, so far. It rivaled anything I have seen on HGTV and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house. I am talking tears of joy... It was simply amazing and I am so glad to have been part of it.
The ladies were the greatest! It was truly an honor to work with them and any client would be fortunate to have one of these women decorate/redecorate their home. They are each professional, creative and very talented individuals. I do highly recommend each and every one.
Lori, the workshop coordinator is located near Richmond, Virginia and will be working in the surrounding areas. Her business name is Arrange to Show and her website will be available soon.
