Please note that this video was recorded during a public health crisis, and in accordance with local public health guidelines and company policies. It was mandatory for team members to wear masks while working together, and we strongly believe in following these guidelines to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

As a staging company, we aimed to showcase our knowledge and techniques in the best way possible, which required a properly staged property. We prioritized precautions to ensure the safety of all individuals present during the recording, including the use of masks and adherence to health protocols.

To help enhance the experience of watching our video, we have added on-screen text and closed captions to accompany the audio.

Thanks for sharing this, we're in the process of prepping a relative's home for sale so all these tips are very helpful. I agree with Sherrie Richard in her comment; I also could hear you just fine! 'Shout out to all the mask wearers; she cares about her team filming by protecting them with her mask!'

I get Covid and wearing a mask. But are we going to get it by looking at the video.??

Think it’ll look bad if it’s one inch smaller than the furniture?

Why are you wearing a mask did you think we could catch something LOL

[mikek]

Why do you have a mask on by yourself? 😂

[jackiemathys]

Please redo this video WITHOUT a mask.

[mariakoroma]

Thanks you are very detailed with your explanation 🙏

I think the confusion here is that we are watching a woman, seemingly alone in a room, giving a lot of helpful information that requires added effort to understand bc it’s muffled. I’m as pro mask as it gets, but I don’t wear one when I’m alone in my home. I’m sure there must’ve been a crew behind the scenes here to warrant this protective measure, but it’s a little nonsensical to employ a room full of AV people to mic you up and add helpful text in post and use a million other concessions to perfectly capture the audio that wouldn’t have to be accommodated if, like a million other YouTubers, this video had been shot at home, alone, the *actual* safest thing to be doing during the pandemic anyway

I could hear you just fine! Shout out to all the mask wearers—she cares about her team filming this by protecting them with her mask! The rules noted in text was GREAT I was able to keep them in my notebook to read for reference when I can’t watch your video. Great video!

How high should a photo canvas be hung above a very low backed couch? I have a chesterfield sofa with a back height of only 27”
If I hang my canvas at eye level, it is 19” above the back of the couch

An artist once told me this: find the middle between the tallest and shortest adults in the home and center that to eye level.
