Telling your
home’s story

We’re here to inspire your buyers with design that shows them why your home is special. We believe in the power of fine art, hand-made furnishings, antique rugs, and real books and ceramics. Your home was made by hand and loved for generations - your staging should be at the same level!

Custom work from folks that love historic homes, all at about the same price as run-of-the-mill staging: leave behind the world of algorithm-driven design and inspire your buyers.

What We Do

This is our bread and butter. We visit your home for measurements and take a look at your spaces in person. Then, we plan out bespoke staging to fit the story your home wants to tell.
We know budget is critical as you prep for your home sale, and we are confident that we can meet or beat most stagers out there while providing better service and higher quality furnishings.
The result? Your home sells faster and for more money.
For small homes and condos, we’ve been able to come in under $3200. For classic single family homes, we often come in under $3800. Larger homes or projects with custom needs will be quoted as low and fair as we can possibly make happen.
If your budget is limited, it’s best to focus on quality and make a stunning first impression on your buyers. That’s why we offer partial home staging.
If you want to furnish certain rooms yourself or if you and your agent are OK leaving some rooms empty, partial staging is a great option. This lets us keep your project total lower, without cutting any corners on fine art, beautiful furniture, handmade rugs etc.
With some careful decision making, partial home staging can come in well under $3000.
Did we mention that we have decades-long relationships with fine artists and makers?
Maybe you saw our work touring a home, or you fell in love with our staging of your own home! If you are looking for help acquiring art or furnishings, we’d love to connect you with the artists who make it all happen.
We don’t believe in markup and secrets - you pay the artist’s price. We only charge for our time with design and coordination. We charge $175 an hour, and we can get a lot done in just a few hours.
Want another set of eyes to walk through with you and flag easy wins like interior painting, swapping our select light fixtures, basic landscaping, etc?
Don’t let a weird market idea of what’s “dated” hold back your home. We can advise and book professional painters, electricians, handymen and more to fix those little things that’ll help your buyer see your home in the right light.
Benefit from our connections and relationships, and get direct contractor pricing. We don’t charge markup on contractor work - $175 hourly rate for consultation, design and coordination as needed.
