Day 12…. Whew correct something… in this post I wrestled with terminology,, then it went to the actual system, then I got too technical and schedule wanted to discuss panels, widths, accounting for size and then I stopped myself…. Why don’t I make the correction of it’s all the same dimensions anyway, the price should look the same… Well I went into the archives and found that beautiful crushed velvet I ordered in green… and thankfully I had two looks (from our previous challenge) to make the comparison. I’m hoping to bridge the gap, make things as clear as possible and make the convo of “just hanging curtains” be only a distant thought. 💭 https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dfq2vu9RVCs/?mdxt=MWY1ejJ4enl0aTE1bw==

@Precious Stevens Yes ma’am!! And I thank you! I appreciate these challenges. These are the thoughts that live rent free in our heads… that you are helping us to reveal and get it out in front of our audience to explain 😅🤗

Narrowing down 3 looks was a good one!! ☝🏽 I loved this! I needed this! Whether I know I have posted this or not it doesn’t mean that the average person has went scrolling, endlessly through my timeline and or grid and found all three of these types of looks. This is exactly what needed to be posted. It’s important for the client to know the range or the possibility or for an idea to possibly come to mind and then it could be talked about and planned 💜😊 https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dftak-tRpF3/?xtok=ZWdjY2piMXF4d2Vk

@Jacqueline Benjamin Nowww the description and details … I love the way you described the mood for the reader! 🪄 That is something special. Sometimes the client is unable to put what they would like into words. You are giving direction and painting a map or language essentially for them to use when they want to book your services. If I can choose, I’ll go with the soft garden look! 🤩

@Jacqueline Benjamin Now, I really like your approach on here Jacqueline. This was laid back, natural, super easy, and not overwhelming at all. I like how clear cut you have everything listed in plain terms that are easy to understand. All the while you are reassuring the client that this is not made to be a difficult or intimidating process and you explain why you need this information.. i am going to take a page out your book on this and think about this moving forward. Thank you so much for sharing!🤗💜

@Donna Holt 💕🥰🫶🏽🫶🏽 Thank you so much!! I was trying my best to keep it simple and straight forward. I appreciate the feedback!

@Mary Rouis awww! 🥰 Thank youuuuu!! Yes ma’am!!

@Donna Holt 😂😂 logs UPHILL is the best description I have ever heard!!! Yes ma'am.. I think that with every install every customer should book a massage for their designer 👀... I am just saying

Day 10 Better planning and having additional items on hand… I went to a setup and did not follow my first my to use my purple velvet panel that I had hanging on a crossbar simply because it was hanging. Something told me that I should grab it and I said no I don’t need that…. I was almost done with the installation after I was asked on the first go round about switching colors out. (this is the part where I tell you the other part of the lesson I … You always want to inquire if there is anyone else that is helping making any design decisions.) Since there was an additional last-minute color change, this shifted, the total look. The total look required and even balance of an additional purple velvet panel. And where was this panel hanging? Of course, in my studio on the crossbar. I suck my head, kindly excuse myself was grateful that the studio was not too far and went to retrieve it.🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DfluDNoR-G5/?dlrf=MWgwYXVsaWlrM2Ntbg==

@Semoin Irving-Crawford spring into action then!! Wind 💨 is not an adventure I have chosen yet. I love that you shared the ways to to troubleshoot and approach the what ifs.. the cool part is that you kept everything running smoothly and the ceremony started on time 🤏🏽🤏🏽🤏🏽 I love that! 💜
