If you’re one of the 350 new members of the Staging Diva community, welcome! We’re now 20,000 strong and I love reading your emails, tweets, Facebook and blog comments.

That story I wrote asking how you feel about gray walls really struck a chord. At last count there were over 40 comments!

Thank you all for sharing your experiences, questions, challenges and insights. I’m especially grateful when you jump in and support each other as you did when I shared the story of one home staging mother of 6 who had to start over in a new town in her 50s.

July was a busy month. I redesigned the Home Staging Business Report. If you’re not a subscriber yet, you should check it out. I post one to two new articles or home staging job postings every week. Plus I’d love your thoughts on the new look!

In this month’s posts you’ll discover: how one home stager won over a doubting husband with a speedy sale, how to take a vacation from your business without worrying that it will fall apart while you’re gone, and a no-cost marketing strategy that you can use in your home staging business right away.

I hope you enjoy this month’s Staging Diva Dispatch. Please add your comments below and send me your questions or story ideas so that I can cover them in future posts or in the Home Staging Business Report blog.
