VIDEO: Alicia Barrington Speaks! The Counter (top) Revolution continues, and Alicia presents some wonderful staging tips!



Alicia Barrington has returned from her summer vacation!

She staged her way through Nantucket, and then hopped the pond to Budapest!

Never quite knowing whether she was in Buda, or Pest, she staged like a whirling dervish.

In hindsight, Ms. Barrington realized that she misunderstood the phrase: “a slave to fashion”.
She thought that she needed to be “a Slavic to fashion”……. hence the trip to Slovinia!

Never-the-less, Barrington took time from her busy schedule to pen the wonderful “Staging Stories, Volume II (The Essentials). In this video Ms. Barrington expounds on her concept of ‘counter (top) revolution’. The backdrop in the video features some of the most glamorous bathrooms that have been presented to Houston Home Staging!

We hope you enjoy the video!
Meet Alicia Barrington: at
‘NAKED PEOPLE DON’T SELL HOUSES’ – The Art Of (and IN) Home Staging!

NAKED PEOPLE DON'T SELL HOUSES.......................................................... The Art Of (and In) Home Staging... At the Archway Gallery 10.11.13

 

 

Naked People Don't Sell Houses!

The Art Of (and In) Home Staging!

 

A three dimensional art installation and book signing...

appearing at:

The Archway Gallery

Dunlavy Street

Houston TX Friday,

October 11th, 2013 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

(A casual wine & cheese event!)
 
Houston Home Staging is honored to have been selected for this fun presentation at
Houston's prestigious
Archway Gallery!
 
Decorative Arts Professional and Home Stager
Tom Scanlon ASP/RESA-PRO
will create a three dimensional
installation/art experience
entitled:
 
'Taking it to the mat...'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 

 

Along with the installation, Scanlon will present a brief lecture
on the use of art in home staging!
(Lecture is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.)
 
In his opinion, appropriate artwork can enhance
any home staging program.
'Elvis-on-Velvet '
would most probably be an inappropriate selection of art to grace the walls of a West U. mansion,
but might be fun in a suburban game room!
 
Saphos and Eros can be beautiful, 
but more often they distract from the value of a home. 
 A naked Chagall is still a Chagall, but do we really want your potential home buyer to feel/think/mutter:
 
 
"I'll have what she's having!" - When Harry Met Sally, 1989
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
 
 
The evening will be capped by the presentation
of
Houston Home Staging Publication's

Alicia Barrington

Embedding your Pinterest boards on your blogs....(something new)



http://blog.hubspot.com/how-to-embed-pinterest-boards-on-your-website-quick-tip?utm_campaign=blog-rss-emails&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=10153410&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-__2BWHo3O3eOrJR7ikafmy_CcDIIZ7Y73EU95UHMsDAIvgzoajHHGX9X8gbCk32sdoASa5NtSStQSrIzGWMr7Yv9XYSw&_hsmi=10153410

The above link will take you to a publication from Hubspot. This tutorial will show you how 'any idiot' (except me) can quickly, easily, without effort, or thought, embed a Pinterest board on to a blog. It's a somewhat easy project. It DOES create a link to your Pinterest board.

The trick to the whole thing, is to find the URL for the board you want. Then find 'board widget' by searching Pinterest (easiest to just use Pinterest 'search').

This will be a helpful tool when marketing the listing that you've staged.....  

Best of luck (this took me two hours to figure out) ...

Warm regards:

Tom (Any Idiot) Scanlon
