Staging By Design

Hi from Gail….How do you like my new look?

Popular wisdom holds that we should reinvent ourselves every five years… So here’s me adding to my real estate repertoire.

I have taken something that I love doing and made it accessible for every budget!

Hence the idea for Staging By Design originated earlier this year when I decided that staging could be a bigger part of my real estate business. I adore doing it and customers are always so very grateful with the results.

In one short visit, I will create a 10 page staging blueprint with customers who are going to be listing their homes in the near future. This personalized plan shows them how to best prepare their house for sale while considering every nook and cranny.

If YOU want your house to sell in LESS time and for MORE money, please reach out!

Happy new year, friends! So excited by the promise of a great 2023!! Here’s what I want to accomplish with gratitude and love for all those who help me along the way:
Welcome to 365 days of opportunities. I will greet them with enthusiasm and a sense of wonder. I choose to go forward with optimism. I choose to see my glass half full always, to see people as innately good, to recognize the chances to grow personally and professionally as limitless. I have another year to love and live without reserve, to help others at every turn possible, to encourage by example, to both create challenges and overcome obstacles, and to learn new ways to be me. I am beyond thankful for so many people in my world that to simply name them would diminish their import and influence. The magic is in hoping that they will continue to recognize their wonderful efforts, big and small, on my behalf. I instead pray that by their fine example, I will honor them with my words and actions for 365 days and beyond. Let the celebration begin!❤️🙏❤️

Look at the beautiful garden towards the last part of this article. How could anyone object to that? The only issue would be if people don’t take care of their gardens just like it would be if they don’t take care of their lawns:). Happy growing!

FRONT YARD VEGETABLE GARDENS LEGAL IN FLORIDA

Front yard vegetable gardens are a growing trend. And they are now legal!

A new law in Florida states that local governments cannot ban homeowners from growing fruits and vegetables in their own lawns. The law states "Any local ordinance or regulation regarding vegetable gardens on residential properties is void and unenforceable.” The new law went into effect July , 2019. This is good news for many Florida residents who would like to grow vegetables for their own consumption but have been prohibited by local ordinances or HOAs. This is happening all over our country as well as in other countries.

A couple from Miami was facing excessive charges from their HOA because of a front yard vegetable garden. They fought through the legal red tape for 6 years to gain this right that everyone in Florida will now benefit from. This supports every homeowner’s property right to grow their own food wherever they want on their own property. Even the front lawn. Gardens are a great way to help feed your family healthy food and use composted waste.

Edible landscaping is now a trend. A well maintained vegetable garden is going to look beautiful. You may not have considered that a lot of vegetables are actually really good looking. Now you have no excuse for not growing those tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant!
Tips for your front yard gardens…
1. Keep your plants in good shape and keep them looking good. Get rid of sickly plants.
2. Be friendly to your neighbors. They won’t complain if they like you. Be ready to explain to them the value of growing your own produce.
3. Be generous and share your bounty. Everyone loves a fresh and free tomato.
4. Don’t leave your equipment and tools laying around. That can be ugly.
5. Get creative with containers. These could be plants to move around and fill in empty spots as they occur.
6. You must learn to plan for all seasons. We have year-round vegetable gardens here in Florida. You will have to learn how to plant in them.
7. Scatter flowers among your vegetables. It’s great camouflage and some of them even repel insects.

Porches… My very favorite architectural feature in the home. 💝👍The best spot to ease into your day with coffee, greet neighbors passing by, and, perhaps the best, to simply daydream. If your house can’t have one at the front, then by all means try and install a deck at the back, says this realtor. I will share mine when it’s finished😀🙏🏻
