Don’t you just love talking to people, in any industry, who absolutely L O V E what they do? Everything they seem to say just exudes their excitement about their talents, skills, passion.
You know the old saying “Enthusiasm is Contagious” – well that’s what I’m talking about. I’m talking about that moment of time when someone says something and you just get it. Ah! Ha!
That’s the way I felt when I was talking to another stager-friend about the unique qualities of our industry and the exciting things that are on the brink of happening.
That’s when it happened … she mentioned a friend of hers that she felt was confident, passionate, intelligent and a leader. Doesn’t that sound like someone each of us should have in our lives?! I felt like I was missing out because I don’t know her friend like she does.
Who is this friend? Well, you can guess by the title
– it’s Michelle Minch of Moving Mountains Designs & Staging
in Pasadena, CA. By the end of the conversation,
I really felt like I had been missing out on meeting Michelle
and seriously, like I should be boarding an airplane
and joining her for Thanksgiving! Yeah - it was like that.
So – from interior design to set design, this is what I've learned of Michelle:
- She’s passionate about what she does!
- She’s incredibly TALENTED! (visit her website for proof!)
- She’s very eloquent and a good writer/blogger!
- She’s someone you can trust! (read the testimonials on her profile!)
- Her clients feel honored to have worked with her!
- She makes doing business with her, a pleasure!
- She’s a smart businesswoman!
If I were a home seller or hot shot Hollywood type, I would be calling upon Michelle! I would like to thank A/R for yet another opportunity to meet such an amazing person. I am so blessed. Have you met Michelle?
Calie: I am totally flabbergasted, flattered, humbled, a little bit embarassed, and, well, I just don't know what to say. Whomever told you all that was just pulling your leg. Thank you, and of course, you are invited for Thanksgiving. Just tell me where and when to pick you up.
Calie....How nice of you to highlight Michelle! Michelle is indeed passionate about her work and keeps her standards HIGH. There are quite a few standouts here at AR and I will vouch for Michelle and strongly state that she is one of the best! That was sweet of you Calie! You too have an enthusiastic personality!!
Regards-Kathleen G
Calie - She's everything you said and more! Her standards are indeed high, her work is incredible and her committment to each of her projects is outstanding. I too would like to thank you for profiling her.
Michelle - I'm proud to call you a friend and a Staging Sister!

Michelle - Oh my Stars! You are Amazing! Read on, Sista!
Kathy P - Me, too! Michelle is impressive!
Kathleen - WOW - Another Michelle fan. You sound pretty cool, too!
Kathy N - It's such an amazing thing when someone is recognized for having high standards in today's world of mediocrity. Standards, ethics & commitment - sounds like we all could learn a few things from Michelle.
Terry - Thanks for the compliment. Seems like there's so many beautiful people here on A/R that need to be recognized and appreciated.
Maureen - You're absolutely right - I've been a fan of Michelle's posts for a while, but have you seen photos of her work on her website?!?! Yichee Wa Wa - I wish I had talent like that!
Calie - What a great idea! Wish I had thought of it! (sorry, couldn't resist)
Rhonda - I guess I'm just the last to know (anything). Thanks for stopping by. Now, I'm off to read your posts.
Fernando - Michelle's work is F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! I'm sure you'll just love it.
I've been a Michelle follower since first stumbling onto SIF; but Calie I think you did a great thing by pulling her out into the open for those who might not have noticed. I can feel the heat of Michelle's blushing all the way here in Georgia! Hope the bladder is strong, or you probably have her peeing in her pants too! Okay, that just a figure of speech. No, actually, it's more like something I would do. :)
Very Nice, Calie -- and Michelle; hats off to you, girl, as it's recognition well deserved!
Calie- You are so kind and you done good profiling Michelle Minch! I have enjoyed reading her blog since I came to SIF - the consumate Professional.
Uh...wait....I was going to go on and on and then I stopped to read Lori's comment...did she say chocolate covered ants??? Someone better rescue her!

Calie, You have done such a great job introducing the amazing attributes of Michelle. She has the heart of gold and the talent that shines.
She is so talented her head should be swollen but it isn't.Michelle is the first one to jump to your aide at a moments notice. I too am proud to call her my friend
Karen - I guess I'm just a little late coming to the game. I'm wondering who else I've "missed out on".
Lori - You have just got to know by now that you are absolutely inspiring to me. You are so gracious and so kind - I'm looking forward to great things from you, Lady! Go get 'em! - C
Jackie - yeah, ants for Thanksgiving! WOW - I know I'm feeling thankful - how about you?
Leslie - You are so fortunate to have found such a friend. Sounds like you have a lot to be thankful for this year! (That is one very, very nice statement about Michelle!)
Yvonne - Thanks for your kind words. Every once in a while we are fortunate to come across someone who seems genuine and I feel that in Michelle. I agree with you - she is worth emulating. Now, where can I get some talent like that? Happy Thanksgiving, my friend.
