Stagetecture’s 5th Anniversary & Past Year Highlights!

 Entry #3608, August 15, 2014

Every year I look back from the August 15th of the previous year to the current one and am amazed by the wonderful blessings that have been bestowed upon me! On August 15, 2009 Stagetecture was a “no-name” blog with a place to collect my home staging and organizing ideas. 5 years later, and 3500+ posts later, Stagetecture is visited by hundreds of thousands of readers and I couldn’t have done it without you, my family, my colleagues, and the wonderful friends that touch me daily in all of my social media communities.

The Decluttered Home blog – I become their “Home Staging” expert

Presented by Uncle Bob’s Storage, I already had enjoyed contributing to the Get Storganized blog.

Tile of Spain Architectural Trip – Valencia & Madrid, Spain

My first time traveling internationally and was the time of a lifetime. I traveled with The Tile of Spain to visit the Cevisama Tile Show, visit Spanish tile manufacturer factories and saw these beautiful historical architectural cities. To see all of the Tile of Spain highlights, visit here.

What’s coming up for Stagetecture in “her” 5th year? My imagination can’t even fathom it!

I’m excited for:

New opportunities, collaborations with brands, following my passion of food blogging and photography and new home ideas, a “new look” for Stagetecture’s website, and bringing you more home life solutions.

-Thank you everyone for making Stagetecture what it is today!
