People around me seem to be experiencing their own transition. Remember when you found that you were having a baby and everyone around you seemed to also be having a baby? I think it wasn’t so much that everyone around me was actually pregnant, but that I noticed it more. When I began my transition from married with children in the home to single and an empty nester with college kids, I found that I have a knack for helping people transition into a new space.
Over the last few years I helped families welcome the new baby into their world. I remember what it’s like to have to think about this new little creature rolling around the home, and work on making that home more child friendly.
I’m excited for my friends that get to move into their dream home, and remember that they worked hard to get there.
I help them bring in the items they want to transition, and get other pieces that will fill the rooms better, while creating that livable experience they had in the smaller home.
I’ve helped many recently divorced clients (male and female) combine their items and transition into their new homes. We place the furniture together in a way that looks fresh, but doesn’t cost another arm and a leg.
I’ve pulled furniture from two homes into one, as people marry and have to meld their pieces and styles together. I’ve helped them decide if they need this because they really like it and it looks great in the home, or do they just want it there because it reminds them of something in their past. Sometimes I help them let go….
I’m not a counselor in any way, but common sense prevails, and compassion always wins. I have the fresh eye that can bring it all back together. I feel lucky to be involved with my clients and help them accomplish this.
