I would like to start a decorating/home staging business. I only have one fairly low budget professional job under my belt. The budget was very modest so the pics are fair but not quite good enough to necessarily be the best advertisement or represent my work at the highest level. I loved doing the job & it turned out fantastic for a first job & on a real tight budget. I have a real eye for color and texture and am a bargain hunting machine with knowledge of a lot of hardware, fabric, tools, and many other things that I have confidence would allow me to do a great job @ this! If you have any tips on how to start or to make it in the business, I would love and appreciate to hear them from you.

I am trying to add a little personality and organization to my tiny room that i share with my husband. Things that arent too expensive but that would make it look a little nicer would be good. Thanks!

Even I can replace a light bulb! Actually, few things can be more satisfying than doing work on ones home. Take the time to do the job right and it can be very rewarding.

@bret: That’s awesome! I saved a lot of money buying the hardwood floor material from Costco believe it or not. I had my 1st floor done by professionals and cost upwards of $15,000. A year after, I opted to do my 2nd floor by myself for $1000 (That’s 4 bedrooms not including the bathrooms which I have recently replaced with tiles instead of linoleum).

We wanted to have our house painted and remove the cottage cheese from the ceiling. The painter recommended someone to do the removal. And, he quoted us $6,500 to remove the ceiling and re-texture. This seemed realy, realy high to me for a small job with no materials.

So, after my son and I did the first ceiling, I came home and found my wife had finished the rest. Since we already did all of the hard work with the texturing, we just went ahead and painted. We probably saved $10K for a couple of days of work.

I am definitely thinking about doing the hard-wood floors in a couple of months. I have a table saw and just need to man-up.
