2021 IN REVIEW & A LOOK AHEAD TO 2022

Welcome to the blog! At the end of each year, I like to review my goals for the past year to see how I did. I decided to take this last-minute opportunity to check off an item that has been on my to-do list for months…making my first blog post! So, here it is, and stay tuned in the future for useful staging and design tips, featured projects, updates, and more!

This past year was full of tests, lessons, and victories. As 2021 comes to a close, I want to take an opportunity to look back at how things started, and let you know about what's coming for 2022!

THE YEAR IN REVIEW

As some of you know, the end of 2020 brought the (very early) arrival of my third child, Lailah. She was born at 26 weeks and came out fighting! 

My business was on pause for the first 6 months of the year, but thanks to loyal past clients and supportive colleagues and family, I was able to pick back up where I left off and stronger than ever!

I was also able to move to a larger, more functional warehouse space, and bring on a fantastic staging assistant, Bri, who has allowed Olive Leaf Staging to continue growing! If someone had told me on January 1st that we would be here almost 12 months later, I would have thought they were crazy!

GOALS FOR THE NEW YEAR

Our main goal for 2022, is to continue providing fast, high-quality staging for homeowners and realtors in the Greater Tampa Bay Area. We are in the process of increasing our staging inventory so that we can continue to offer current, on-trend designs as well as service more clients each week!

We also have a few more creative staging options, such as our Express Package for small spaces, that we plan to continue expanding on. Lastly, we aim to donate a bed to a child in need for every 10 homes we stage! We are in the process of finding the right community partner for this effort, so if you have any contacts, please let us know!
