Ok I am tooting my own horn!! I am so excited and I just can't hide it............

Today on Monday even though I feel like it was one of the worst Mondays I have had in a long time. Everything that could go wrong was well on its track, then I opened up an email that said ......

so here it is the office picture that won.

I just signed up with them a month ago and loaded my projects there to see how it worked. There are some designers on there that do awesome work so I figured mine would get lost in the shuffle. But this weeks features are all about offices so mine was included and do you see in his letter he mentioned out of thousands (1000's) WOW ME! I said to myself!

Here are a few more of that office, it is all my designs in there that I actually built and finished especially made for my client's husbands birthday present. The window treatments, chair, lamp and side table. All the office desk accessories I finished out with HD Emblems. Here is the softail that inspired me.

So stop by avaliving.com and enjoy the work of designers every where and I am now going to have a glass of wine and celebrate.

If you are caught licking your fingers you must be at the Red Brick BBQ in Silt, COLORADO

Just pass the round about with the naked mountain climber, yes you read this right. In the center of our little town of Silt, COLORADO round about is the naked mountain climber made out of stone.

Yes the statue is all about the things you can do in COLORADO. It made national attention last fall, see this link on Denver channel , it was the talk of the whole valley.

Back to the reason of this blog is just behind the statue is the BEST BBQ on the Western Slope of COLORADO.

Red Brick BBQ is owned by Daniel & Molly Fredrich of Silt.

As you can tell by the picture they have fun with what they do. Daniel is from Texas but he loves COLORADOand he can smoke any kind of meat and make it taste GREAT! Daniel and Molly were trained in the culinary arts in Denver, C. They have been chefs in Aspen, Denver, and Snowmass and Glenwood springs.

We have had brisket, chicken, pork, salmon and he made some sausage from his Grandpa's secret family recipe and Oh My Goodness! My husband brought it home for me and made a Sunday breakfast omelet to die for. Molly is the dessert queen and I am not kidding you she knows pastry. I took her some of our fresh farm eggs and she made chocolate-cream cheese bread pudding.

So in your travels plan to stop in Silt, COLORADO, it's just 16 miles west of Glenwood Springs, COLORADO off of the 1-70 interstate and have some good ole Texas BBQ at the Red Brick BBQ and say hi to the two wonderful people there that makes you feel right at home. Visit their website @ www.redbrickBBQ.com

It is officially MUD SEASON IN COLORADO! "WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG? I won't complain much about cleaning my yard since these guys had to clean up after mother nature!

Well the week started out with a Rock slide on 1-70 in the Glenwood Springs Canyon closing it for 5 days in both directions. Living in this beautiful state you never know when rock slides, mudslides or avalanches will happen. It really keeps you on your toes in a sense.

When you are driving through the canyons getting to work or a client's home it goes through your mind what could happen. Most of us are on our own mission and want to just get our tasks done for the day so when we are inconvienced by acts of nature it makes a few mad but most of us are happy no one (this time) was hurt.

I think it is really amazing to hear people say "What is Taking so LONG to clean up!

Well let me think, the boulders are 6' x 8' & 10' by 20' in size and my rake and yard equipment just can't do this task!

Besides there is some engineering to work out for removal. And in the process of cleanup a crew goes up the mountainside to see if more boulders have come loose from the weather warming up and the ground moisture releasing the rocks. GO Figure! That really can't happen in a hour or two.

Why are we so impatient in today's world?

May this week start out better!!

Dear Real Estate Professional: How can we work together?

Dear Real Estate Professional:

I will tell you up front I am not a Real Estate Agent so I am not competing with you. I am here to give you the best marketing tool available.



I understand our goal is sell the home quickly and for the most money. Professional Property Staging will do that. Our first priority is to give the Homeowner the knowledge to market their property. With all the competition of 100's of homes on the market that they are up against they need your expert direction to make that happen.

So What do you need from me? I am ready to listen to your needs or concerns when it comes to working with a Certified Professional Property Stager & ReDesigner.

Thank you for taking the time to connect with me.

Sincerely,

A Certified Professional Property Stager

SIMPLIFY-Staging creates leads for your property so you don't get lost in the 100's of homes on the market.....

S- Staging

I- Impresses

M- Many

P- Potential

L- Lead

I- Interests

F- For

Y- Your PROPERTY

I know it as been said many times but STAGING your property really does put it at the top of the list. When a property goes up for sale and it is cluttered and not cleaned to the finest detail, your potential buyer will click right pass it on the Internet where most of your leads will come from. Unless you want them to give you a bid for a fix it up you better clean it up.

Right now as there are 100's of homes on the market and 100's more now that spring is around the corner you need to be ahead of your competition. A Professional Property Stager can have your property cleaned, detailed, and stage your home to place it at the top of the list. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE KNOWN as the SMELLY HOUSE, the CLUTTERED HOUSE, the UGLY DATED HOUSE, the OMG YELLOW HOUSE and so on.

When you STAGE your property you will have a better chance at getting your asking price. Because they can't beat you up on price when you are showing them the benefits and features of the property by STAGING it Professionally.
