Congratulations to Staging Diva Graduate Suzanne Manlove of Arlington Home Interiors who is featured in The Washington Post. Suzanne was given a limited budget to transform a livingroom. Her redesign solution is awesome.

Suzanne’s previous background as a graphic designer has certainly served her well for this Washington Post story and undoubtedly comes in handy in her new career in home staging and interior redesign.

So before you get intimidated by the amazing sketch of the redesign that you’ll find in the Washington Post story, please note that it is not necessary to be able to do this to have a successful career as a home stager. I’ve staged and redesigned hundreds of homes and I couldn’t do a sketch like this one, nor have I ever had to. But I certainly admire Suzanne’s talent!

> Check out the online version of the Washington Post story. From there, you’ll find a link to Suzanne’s website which is also very well-designed and professional. Great job Suzanne, it’s easy to see why you are successful!
