92\\ How Adding Home Staging Can Boost Your Design Business With Marianne Cherico

If someone asks if I do staging, I would reply, "No! Only with your existing furniture. I don't have an inventory of furniture."

One of the setbacks keeping me from offering a staging service is the investment and inventory, specifically managing and storing it.
