Okay so I just realized it is 4pm and I have not even taken a shower yet. This is why all office days need to occur at either Panera (hello pastries) or the Library. It is very rare this happens but I had so much to do I hopped right on my computer this morning. Okay, okay I also took Steve down to Massachusetts so he could leave for the week but whatever. Of course, I really want to be next to the pool with a Pina Colada in my hand but I will save that for another day.
This day has been crazy, I have been on the phone all day signing up very excited people for my class. It is so cool hearing how enthusiastic people are to take this class. I am so flattered!! The good news is that I have been teaching it for three years so I know people get a lot out of it and that it is a lot of fun. So I guess I can skip the nervous feelings.
I have also been busy shopping online for furniture for this Jamaica Plain job I need to get a quote out for. The living space near the kitchen is small but overall super cute so I need something that is just right. I really cannot wait to see this unit when it is finished!!!
So what else is left to do? Oh, just email the Hippo paper to see if they can include the class in their weekly announcements, follow up with those developers I met last Friday, call back a client that requested information via the website, follow up with a girl from my networking group about a project in Bow she is having me help her with, finalize an appointment for this week for a reshuffle of a 3600sq ft home in Bedford, and find something interesting to post on Twitter. So far I have only posted this song I am listening to and a blurb about my blog. Not really a value for the people following me. Sorry!
Tomorrow is the Broker Open house for that cute house on Back River Road I staged. It is 11:30am -1pm at 94 Back River Road in Bedford NH. Lunch from Panera (shocker right? But really, that was not my idea). Stop by if you are in the area, this house is great for the price point and for little money gets you into Bedford.
I had lunch with a very nice guy who works for a design build company based out of Londonderry on Friday. At one point in the conversation we started to discuss each of our company’s approach to client projects. I explained that my process is simple. By using pictures from magazines, books, etc I help my clients identify the look they are going after. Then we discuss budget and timeframe for implementation. I told him that essentially when a client hires me to help them decorate their home, I believe my job is to show them how to create the look they want within their budget. My likes and dislikes really never enter into the picture.
