Commentary will tell you a bit about the  situation and point out things in the picture you should note. Then  readers will be given the after picture, along with professional  critiques on what the stager or re-designer did to improve the situation  - both good or not so good. In every case the stager or re-designer DID  improve the room, but the author will give specific comments about the  success or failure of what was done.After a decade of teaching  staging and redesign, Barbara Jennings notes there are certain aspects  of arrangement techniques that continue to be confusing or ignored by  professionals and consumers alike.
