Wow, I can’t believe it has been nearly a month since my last post. Apologies! Things have been crazy hectic but that is no excuse! The past few weeks have been quite a roller coaster ride. As many of you know, I’m smack in the middle of opening a new showroom in the River Market. Construction work is beginning to feel like my second (or third) job. Good thing I’m married to a contractor huh?
This little endeavor has given me a unique perspective on what my clients and prospects go through on a daily basis. Take the average person’s zillion to-dos, emails and other “day” job responsibilites add the stress of project managing construction timelines, budgets, finish and furniture selection, move coordinating etc…you get the idea. Makes plate spinning look like a piece of cake! There is a huge difference between helping with a handful of aspects in a new space and having your hand in the project from start to finish.
To help contain some of the chaos, I’ve created a project management kit that has become my roadmap to sanity. It’s helped me stay on top of what seems like a million details without going completely batty. I’m still working on the final polish, but if anyone is interested in a sample kit contact me at courtnay@squareoneinteriorsllc.com
At the end of the day my hope is this experience will help me be a better partner to my clients. Now I can say I’ve been there done that…and have pictures to prove it!
