Starting A Decorateing Business

Posted by: Holly  :  Category: Business, Selling a Home

I have been thinking of starting a decorating and house staging business. I think it may be the best way for me to get the experience I need to get into a good company. I know that sounds strange but because many states require that I take and pass the NCIDQ (National Council for Interior Design Education) I need to have 2 years of work experience under someone who also has passed the test, so now you see where my thinking comes in.

Anyway I think if I can prove that I can handle clients and work with people it may help me land that job after I graduate. Home stageing is something I have always been interested in so it works well for me. I have spent some time thinking of ways I can get the word out once I can get things going. I thought sending Business Christmas Cards or general holiday cards to people from a mailing list might help me get some interested clients. I want to do something different and unique that will get their attention. I may even include a discount coupon or something. The good thing is that I wouldn’t have to charge a ton of money for it either. I could do a free walk though and then offer the price for my services.

Fall Decorating

Posted by: Holly  :  Category: General, Uncategorized

One of my favorite times of year is fall, the leaves turn colors and everything just has this nice look and feel to it. The best part about fall for me is Halloween. I love the decorations and the kids getting dressed up.

Halloween decorationOne thing I love to do is decorate outside my home. I do alot for Halloween and for fall in general. The problem is Halloween Decorations can really start to look the same when you live in a small town and everyone buys theres at the local store, but I found a great site that will work wonderfully for me and maybe you will find something you like to. The site is online discount mart and they have a really nice selection of outdoor and indoor decorations. If you check it out now you can save alot on your purchase with there end of summer sale.
