I’m in Las Vegas, and this is where I’ll be speaking in a couple of hours:
I got to meet so many sweet people last night from all over the United States, Canada, and England (hi, Molly!) I’m just hoping I do a good job and am able to share some information that will be helpful for someone. I’ve gotta go run through my speech one last time, but I wanted to share some exciting news – my book cover is DONE! I kinda really love it:
And finally, I came back to my room last night and my precious brother- and sister-in-law had ordered room service for me all the way from Tennessee.
Is that awesome, or what?
I love it!! And I have to look at and criticize book covers all day long!
That is awesome! Love the book cover! When can I buy one?
It’s in editing right now – hopefully soon!
Awww, how sweet is that?! What a precious brother and SIL you have! It sure looks yummy! And I know you did a great job! Congrats and on your book as well!
Thank you, Lynn! Yes, I am very blessed to have such considerate in-laws 🙂
I’m so glad you did good! Can’t wait to see pictures 🙂
I love you, sweet girl! Thank you for your sweet prayers – I know they go straight to the Father 🙂
I miss you and Kelta – can’t wait to see you xoxoxo
Good luck! Beautiful book cover.
I LOVE IT!!! Can’t wait to see the whole book!
Congrats on your book and its gorgeous cover! Beautiful pic! Nothing but blue skies and great sailing ahead for you,Kristie-You deserve all of it!!
Thank you, Kathi!
Love love love the cover!!!! Cant wait to buy it. 🙂 I am sure you rocked your speech too. What a sweet family to send you treats to your hotel room. I hope you had a great time in Vegas.
Thank you, sweetie!!!
Wish I was there! So happy and proud of you. Gotta have your new book, Love the cover!!
Wish you were here, too, Doreen – it’s been great!
The book cover is calming energy with lovely symmetry. The room service sent in love is pretty darn awesome. Can I have one of those strawberries, please?? You’re awesome too, Kristie! I’m sure Las Vegas will fall in love with you and all will come away blessed. May you truly enjoy all these lovely gifts and special moments that you’ve so deservedly earned. One day we’ll say, ‘we knew her when!’ Love seeing good people get good returned to them. Nancy Stinson, White House TN
You are so precious, Nancy. Thank you so much!!!! I’m sorry, but I ate all the strawberries . . . 🙂
I like it, Kristie. It is very soothing and the title grabs your attention. Where can we buy your book?
You’ll do wonderful tonight. I look forward to your after the conference post. Enjoy those delicious sweets.

Ooooh that cover is absolutely perfect Kristie. Let me know how the speaking engagement went!!

You did an awesome job speaking, Kristie! You were clear, concise & organized & very informative. People are still talking about it.
Thank you, sweet Beth! It was so great to meet you in person – and I really appreciate your encouragement 🙂
Oh My Gosh – is that the YabbaDabbaDo fireplace?!??! That’s some magic right there! I would grab that book off the shelf in a minute just from the appealing cover. I can’t wait to buy it and see inside!
Beautiful work! You SHOULD be proud!

Tanya
Staging PDX
You, too, Tanya! So excited to have so many new Portland friends 🙂 Congratulations on your honor tonight!!!
Your presentation was awesome Kristie! So glad I got to see you in action! You’re a real pro and I hope to spend a few minutes tomorrow talking to you before the convention is over!
So wonderful to meet you, Luci! Let’s be sure to stay connected 🙂
Your speach was amazing! The cover looks great, can’t wait to purchase it. Wonderful meeting you today, thanks for taking the time to get a quick picture with me! Forgot to ask you what class you took to become a color specialist? I am interested in adding that to my services.
Beautiful book cover, beautiful lady! So proud of you for going after it! You’re helping women in the center of their hearts…home. 🙂
Thank you so much, Julie 🙂
Hi Kristie, I have never commented on your blog before but I wanted to let you know how much you have inspired me. I am a home stager and found you about 2 years ago, which led me to Maria Killam and her fabulous blog, which led me to taking the True Color Expert training. Your posts are amazing and I get great ideas from them all of the time, I love your style. And I will be first in line to buy your book. Best wishes!
Thank you for sharing that, Cathy! You should try to come to the Real Estate Staging Association’s (RESA) international convention next year – I just returned and it was such a great experience. Good luck and great staging!!!
Hi dear Kristie, when the blessings come they just pour forth all at once sometimes!
That’s when we just have to praise! I know from attending your class that you are
Beautifully poised and prepared for your presentations….would loved to have been there.
Just finishing up staging and preparing a little golf villa here in FL. Should have done before pix,
I think you’d be proud of me!
Your bro & sis-in-law are a thoughtful blessing better than all the strangers accolades, is the
Love of family!
Safe home,
Paula
Thank you so much, Paula! I’m sure you did a fabulous job on the golf villa. Now, I must scold you: NEVER, EVER move a stick of furniture until you do BEFORE PHOTOS!!!! Never, I tell you – you will kick yourself every time. Thanks for the note – the presentation went great and the whole event was a blast 🙂
xo
As a matter of fact I did take photos when I was here in December!
They’re back home in my other lap top! I ‘ll try & put them together & email some over next week.
Did you every hang the lights?
P.
I am re-doing the upstairs bath and subsequently the upstairs hallway in March – I am planning on using the beautiful lighting in that hallway and stairwell! I will of course show before-and-afters! And I am glad you took photos of your project – I thought you were saying that you hadn’t. I can’t wait to change out the light fixtures and finally get a real working shower for my daughters – we’ve all been using the same bathroom for YEARS.
Kristie you were fantastic at the RESA conference! Really informative, inspiring and entertaining presentation. Good luck with your book.
Thank you so much, Erica! You and Molly were a delight – please let me know when you visit Vanderbilt so that we can arrange lunch or tea 🙂
Hi Kristie!!
I Love, Love, Love (with a capital L) your book cover!! If I’m not mistaken, I remember that post 😉 I can’t wait to see and read the finished product.
Kristie – your book cover is just beautiful – I kinda love it too! Congratulations again on your book, and on your speaking engagement as well. Loved your room service – how beautiful and delish was that?!!
Kristie,
Congratulations on all your success…you deserve it!!! I love the book cover.
Have a good trip home.
Take care,
Linda
You are so sweet, Linda! I hope you and business are doing well 🙂
Love the cover! At first I thought it was a luxury home that you must have decorated at some point. Then, I realized it was the Yabba Dabba Do fireplace. Only you could see the “before” and have the vision to transform it into a space worthy of coffee table eye candy. Bravo!
Thanks, Jessica! It ended up being the perfect shot for the cover – who would have thought??
Love it, too! Can’t wait for your book to be available, Kristie. You must be so very excited! Congrats on all your successes!
Congratulations on everything Kristie!! So glad for you! I always read your stuff (just don’t often reply!!) Would love to get together the next time I’m in TN. Will let you know when!! Sending blessings to you and the family! (Loved Audrey’s post!)
Thank you, sweet Debbie! I would LOVE to see you next time you are in my neck of the woods!!! Hope you and your entire family is doing great 🙂 xoxo
