You know that feeling when you step inside a friend’s house, are offered a cup of coffee and told to make yourself at home? Now imagine that friend’s house is full of incredible pottery, indoor plants hanging from the ceiling, and an espresso bar. Not to mention, their front, back, and side yards are impeccably manicured with tastefully chosen foliage and water features. Is this a dream, you ask? No!

Read MoreLocal Business Spotlight: Marni Saves the Day
Hello Everyone! I must introduce a friend of mine, Marni, owner of Marni Saves the Day. I was lucky enough to meet this wonderful lady a few months ago when out-of-state clients decided to sell their Seattle house. These clients were not only living in Portland, but was also taking care of an ailing parent. Preparing your home to sell is a lot of work, and lucky for them, Marni was there to help.
She was so fantastic to work with, I decided to hire Marni to help me get my home and office in order. Between my business doubling and having a brand new baby, my house was in a state of chaos. Marni has helped me clear out boxes of “stuff” that I don’t need, move offices, prepare for a basement remodel and throw a HUGE holiday event (You may have met “Jingles the Elf” at the Holiday Social). She has boundless energy and an ability to keep me focused when I am frazzled and overwhelmed.
I think my favorite part about working with Marni, is that she makes sure that the things that I don’t need either goes to someone who does need them or is disposed of correctly. For example, I had too much food for the Holiday Social. She suggested that we hand it out to the homeless. Her passion is contagious.
