Highchair To High school - NH Home Stager Responds To A Challenge

My fellow New Hampshire blogger, Steve Loynd, recently posted childhood photos of himself ranging from "highchair to high school" and he posted a challenge asking other Active Rain members to share their childhood photos.  I hereby accept Steve's challenge. 

 New Hampshire home stager: The early years.

I've always had an eye for furniture placement!

Selecting the right accessories for the perfect tablescape, and the secret to holiday staging:

Organizing closets and rearranging furniture has always brought a smile to my face.

Of course, the "T" stands for "TRANSFORMATIONS"

Great pictures it is good to go down memory lane once in awhile-I think I will get out the old photo's and remember the memories. Thanks for sharing.

Pat:  It was fun going through the pictures.  If you do take out your photos, you should consider accepting Steve's challenge and share them!

Posted by Gerry Michaels GettysburgGerry (Studmuffin Media) about 2 years ago

Gerry:  Thanks!  I wish I had that little kitchen set today for my grandchildren!

Sharon - You are too cute and always ready for a challenge. Looks like you lost the cowlick from the earlier years. I am still fighting one. LOL

Posted by Judy Jennings - The Green Company at The Pinehills, Plymouth MA (508-209-5000) about 2 years ago

Well I certainly think it shows that you found your calling in life Sharon.  I just love the little bonnet one next to the rocker.  And I hope you still have that chair.

Sharon, Thanks for taking the Challenge...I see the progression with furniture arrangements and color schemes, you were a cute Baby, and your smile got brighter through the years...Cheers: Steve

Judy:  Actually, I think my mother styled my hair that way!  LoL!

Tammy:  I don't still have the rocker, but I sure wish I did!

Steve:  The man who inspired this post!  Thanks, it was so much fun.  I hope others take you up on the idea!

I would be happy to post pictures of my young self, but I don't want anyone to die of a heart attack. LOL

Hi Sharon ~ Oh what fun! I just love the picture of you and the little table and chairs set and the picture of you with the aluminum tree is too cute for words.

Great fun, Sharon! You're a good sport - Clearly, you were born to be a stager!

Love these pictures!  Do you think staging was in your blood or what?  What a fun idea!

Posted by Sheila O'Mara (Staged SO Right) about 2 years ago

Hi Sharon, Everything has a beginning and it is quite clear from your earlier photos that your career was showing itself to you very early on and thankfully you recognized it.

Cute as a button grew up to be as gorgeous as the whole outfit!

Russel:  Don't be ridiculous!  We would love to see pictures of you!  Please reconsider.

Liz:  Thanks, I appreciate your enthusiasm!

Debi:  Thanks!  It was fun and I enjoyed doing it!

Sheila:  I really did enjoy organizing as a child.  I would talk my friends into organizing closets and cleaning house instead of playing outside.  Looking back now, I bet that's why their mothers liked me!

William:  I recognized it, but I didn't know what to do with it until a few years ago.  I'm happiest when I am working!

Will:  How sweet!  That is one of the sweetest things said to me in a long time!  Thank you!

Oh my Sharon, you look exactly the same in the last photo...now how do you do it?

I hope every one hovered on the photos, if not you are missing something special!!!

Posted by Cynthia Bartch ~ Redesigned Spaces ~ all round nice gal... (Home Stager/Property Stylist & more! Granville, Ohio) about 2 years ago

Are you a long lost twin of mine? I swear that in the little red chair at the table it could be me! How fun is this??! I guess I'll have to look at my photos & pull some out. Sounds fun. Yours are very cute and I like your stager-in-the-making theme.

Posted by Pangaea Interior Design Home Stager - Redesign - Model Homes (Portland Oregon) about 2 years ago

Cynthia:  I want to smoke whatever you are smoking!  Thanks for always hovering!

Pangaea:  There is only one way to know if we are long lost twins...I'll have to see your photos!  I challenge you to a pictorial of your own! 

Posted by Sharon Tara New Hampshire Home Stager (Sharon Tara Transformations) about 2 years ago

Sharon - I enjoyed your photo journey & comments.  I'm onboard with the red table & aluminum tree being oh-so-cute too!

Posted by Susan Brown (Keller Williams NE, Kingwood Texas (Humble & Atascocita too)) about 2 years ago

Susan:  Thanks!  I'm glad you enjoyed my journey!

My table had a circus motif painted on it ... does yours? Very cute Sharon!

Posted by Janice Ankrett Burlington Ontario Accredited Staging Professional (Janice Ankrett Home Staging) about 2 years ago

Cute pictures; good post! Great "challenge!" WHERE do you keep all those pictures? I'm sure you have some clever storage solution!

Awww, cmon, Russel!!

Posted by Leslie Helm/Real Estate For Trail Riders (Tennessee Recreational Properties) about 2 years ago

Very nice presentation Sharon (and a nice chuckle too).

Posted by Peggy Givens, Professional Home Stager: Home Staging in the Tulsa Oklahoma area (Staging Tulsa) about 2 years ago

Sharon ~ Here is something to add. I don't have many photo's, but I have many old friends on Facebook and I am going to ask them to bring out the old baby's. I will submit what I have and then see what craziness comes next.

Posted by Monique Hailer (CENTURY 21 New Millennium) about 2 years ago

Sharon - Whos the cute kid? :-) Nicely done.

Posted by John Mayer (Pytha Realty Group, Merritt Island / Cape Canaveral, Florida) about 2 years ago

Janice:  No the table is just plain red.  My bedroom floor had fairy tale characters on it though!

Leslie:  Thanks!  No "clever storage solution" at all.  I have them scanned into my computer.  We moved my aunt into a nursing home two years ago, and when we emptied her apartment I found a bunch of my baby pictures.  It was a priceless gift.  Any photos of baby Leslie to share?

Peggy:  That's me...all about the presentation, lol!  Thanks!

Monique:  Facebook is a great place to share the photos.  My blog posts are automatically placed on Facebook so I'm covered there too!

John:  Thank you!  How about baby John, no picture to share?

Posted by Sharon Tara New Hampshire Home Stager (Sharon Tara Transformations) about 2 years ago

Beautiful pictures Sharon!  You can easily tell you were meant to be a stager from early on!

Debra:  Thanks, but where are your pics?  Care to share baby Debra with the group?
