| As a Home Stager in Orlando, Central
| |
| | area. They are a grassroots, and
|
| Florida and surrounding areas, I am
| |
| | entirely non-profit movement of people
|
| constantly meeting with sellers to advise
| |
| | who are giving,(and getting), "stuff" for
|
| them on how to prepare their home to sell
| |
| | free in their own cities. Freecycle
|
| in what has become a buyers market. I
| |
| | Network is made up of individual groups
|
| critically look at each area, both inside
| |
| | across the globe who have come together
|
| and out, to determine what needs to be
| |
| | to "recycle" unwanted items. They give
|
| done to transform their home into a
| |
| | things away rather than throw them away,
|
| marketable 'product' to be sold.
| |
| | and do their part in taking care of
|
| Although each property is unique, there
| |
| | Mother Earth at the same time! Freecycle
|
| are fundamental staging guidelines that
| |
| | Network began in 2003 when Deron Beal had
|
| need to be followed when preparing any
| |
| | a vision and e-mailed 30 to 40 friends
|
| home for sale, starting with the "D" list
| |
| | and a handful of non profits in Tucson,
|
| . . . Deep Clean, Depersonalize, and
| |
| | Arizona. It now is in 75 countries and
|
| Declutter, Declutter, and Declutter some
| |
| | 4,041 communities worldwide, and has
|
| more! That includes kitchen and bathroom
| |
| | 3,540,995 members . . . and still
|
| cabinets, closets, drawers, the spare
| |
| | growing. As a result of their efforts,
|
| room that's been used as a guest room /
| |
| | they have been able to keep over 300 tons
|
| office / JUNK ROOM . . . the basement,
| |
| | of waste per day out of our landfills.
|
| garage . . . shall I go on? By the time
| |
| | They have only three main rules in order
|
| I get to this part my clients are usually
| |
| | to participate: everything must be FREE,
|
| revisiting their decision to move!
| |
| | everything must be LEGAL, and everything
|
| One of the biggest problems when faced
| |
| | must be APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES. By
|
| with the daunting task of decluttering is
| |
| | giving freely with no strings attached,
|
| deciding what to do with all of the
| |
| | members of the Freecycle Network have
|
| "stuff"! You know . . . the piano from
| |
| | instilled a sense of generosity of spirit
|
| Grandma that nobody plays, the chartreuse
| |
| | into their local communities.

| |
| | As a Home Stager I have been in a
|
| his and her bicycles that noone rides
| |
| | position to pass this information on to
|
| anymore . . . and my personal favorite -
| |
| | countless clients who are decluttering in
|
| how about the treadmill that doubles as a
| |
| | an effort to make their home a more
|
| clothes rack in the forgotten corner of
| |
| | 'marketable product'. But I challenge
|
| the master bedroom! I understand, we all
| |
| | all of us to join with the members of the
|
| have "stuff" that's really hard to part
| |
| | Freecycle Network, people from all walks
|
| with because . . . "it's just too good to
| |
| | of life, who have turned trash into
|
| throw away", right . . .?
| |
| | treasure to better our environment.
|
| I am very excited to share with you the
| |
| | Remember when decluttering . . . think
|
| solution . . . go to freecycle.org to
| |
| | GREEN, think globally, and "recycle"
|
| find the Freecycle Network Group in your
| |
| | locally. Happy Staging!
