About ME

It is hard for a homeowner to look at their own property with a "Buyer's Eye". Even the most talented decorators can benefit from tried and true staging advice from a professional before a home is put on the market. For those sellers that want to make sure that they property has its best foot forward and feel that they can do it themselves with advice, I offer a staging consultation. This usually takes 1.5 hours and is $200.

I will go room to room and provide detailed recommendations on how to best use the existing furniture, discuss space plans and re-purposing furniture in other rooms or simply removing it/packing it up. I also prioritize repairs or potential updates. I will provide on trend finish and material selections. I will share a list of trusted contractors and movers.  I'll also advise on furniture and artwork placement to bring out the best in every room. Your house should stand out from the competition, and I'll give you suggestions on how to accessorize using what you have or by purchasing or renting a few key items that will pull everything together. 

I can help homeowners in occupied properties that need a little more assistance. Sometimes replacing rugs, lamps, art, and pillows can make the current furniture look updated. I will meet with the homeowners for no cost or obligation to discuss the scope of what is needed, talk about priorities and budget for the purchase of the needed items and provide a flat rate staging fee.

Vacant properties are especially difficult for potential buyers to evaluate. When a home is lacking furniture, there is no point of reference for the buyer to gauge size or usage of the space, especially when viewing photos online.  Whether online or in person, they will often underestimate room size and can become confused about usage of a room without clues from its contents.  Vacant homes can also look cold and uninviting which is off-putting to the buyer. Even a brand new home with high-end finishes can be hard for buyers to emotionally connect to when it is completely empty. When staging a vacant home, not every room need to be staged. The house needs to be welcoming and allow the potential buyers to imagine living there. Each house is unique and we will discuss priority areas. I do not inventory furniture. Based on whether we decide that is a benefit to offer a fully designer furnished home or whether short term rental works best, I can help with both. My resources in the decades of staging have allowed me to have leverage with nationwide staging rental furniture sources as well as furniture vendors where I pass my trade sicount on to clients.

From classic neutrals to moody saturated colors, I will provide sample boards and renderings to help you imagine what your space can be.
