Julie is outstanding home decorator and stager. She can take items you already have and rearrange them to make it look like it's from a home decor magazine. She's very good at mixing pre-owned items with new items as well. She definitely knows how to make a home feel warm and inviting. She also has a great eye for color! I have terracotta color brick which was very hard to find a color that looked good with it. Julie suggested a color and it looks spectacular! I've received many compliments on the color. It took my house from boring to a really rich look. She offers a variety of services for different budgets and no hidden surprises. She listens to your needs and desires. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again!

It was my pleasure and delight helping you with color choices for your formal dining and exterior as well. It is fun to see what a new paint color can do for a room! It was fun to be able to work with you!

Julie loves what she's doing. And it shows. It's not a job! She sees your house as if it would be hers. She undervalues what she does, because it comes natural for her, but not for others who need ideas.

Thank you for trusting me with your decorating needs. It was a delight to spend time serving you and helping make your kitchen your dream kitchen. Helping you pick out your granite was such a fun time with you and your hubby.

Julie recently staged a large home for my client and really did a stunning job. Her work and creativity were acknowledged by the seller and by several potential buyers. The home sold in just a couple of days!

Thank you Kevin! It was a delight to be able to help stage your listing home. So excited for the owner as well to be able to sell it so quickly. It was a pleasure working alongside the homeowner to get the house to look it’s best for potential buyers. Thank you!

Staging prices depend on if the home is vacant or occupied, as well as how many rooms need to be staged.

I will meet the client in their home to do a 90-minute walk-and-talk consultation. I follow up with a DYI customized action-plan for the client to carry out. If you wish for me to carry out the suggested plan, and hourly rate would be charged for the time needed.
