Introduction: I am a HSR Certified Professional interior redesigner, color expert and stager serving San Diego and Surrounding cities. If you need remodeling services, I can get wholesale pricing for the selection of flooring, backsplashes, tile, kitchen cabinets, paint colors for the interior and exterior and all areas of design before you bring in your contractor. I bring old fashioned customer service by bringing samples to your home! Why hassle the crowds when you can shop stress free and see how they work in your home. If you do vacation rentals, I can help with your design, paint selection and full service project. Do it right and you will get top dollar! I love watching the magic happen when a vision comes to life! I love working with people, calming their fears and reassuring them we can do this! My focus is to utilize my redesign and staging style skills to update your home, vacation rental or Airbnb with simple changes or a complete makeover that will increase your bookings, home sales or simply an extra hand to get you organized before a sale. Let's get your color scheme right the first time. You will spend thousands on hiring a painter (who are not color experts) and a wrong choice outside or inside the home can be costly! I have completed the most comprehensive and intensive home staging, redesign and color certification courses provided by the Home Staging Resource. They have set the standards for the industry! The HSR Certification program was the first and is one of the only Accredited staging training by the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) who is the governing body for the home staging industry.​ I have learned that clients want new ideas, different approaches and new ways of envisioning their space. No judgement, no pushy sales pitch. My goal is to get you, your vision and help achieve YOUR goals for your home, office or vacation rentals. Let's do this together!

I wish I could select everything to like about working with Tara! I can’t say enough good things about her, and brag about her all the time to my friends and family. She is incredibly talented and reasonably priced. Her boards were perfect for us to see the overall design and then just click on the links to purchase. Easy as can be! She was always very responsive, even when we were already in a store thinking about a purchase she helped us right away. She helped us set up both our new house and our old house for Airbnb. She kept everything under budget and it all came out beautifully!!

Details: Design of 3 - 4 rooms • Living room • Dining room • Bedroom(s) • 1,500 - 2,000 sq ft • Accessories / art selection • Lighting selection • Furniture selection • Space planning / layout • Coastal • My home, venue, etc.

We have been working with Tara for the last several months and could not be more pleased with her work. I interviewed several designers before I made my choice, but Tara knocked it out of the park immediately. I told her I was interested in decorating our recently purchased home in a primarily Coastal theme (we were still living in the Bay Area at the time). The same day, she sent me a design board for our master bedroom and I was stunned. It was absolutely gorgeous, but more importantly, she had captured exactly the colors, style and vibe I was looking for. That held true over the next few months for every room of our 4800 square foot house--including our casita. She also worked tirelessly to prepare as much of the house as possible before we moved in. I actually cried when we walked into our house for the first time--we were absolutely thrilled!! Her personal touches and attention to detail are incredible as well as how quickly she responds to questions or suggestions. We can not recommend Tara highly enough; it has been a joy to go on this journey with her.

Details: Full home design • More than 3,000 sq ft • Space planning / layout • Furniture selection • Contemporary • Midcentury Modern • My home, venue, etc.

Tara exceeded all expectations! She did the impossible with my limited time line for my project and completely blew me away with her work ethic and willingness to go above and beyond during every step of the process! I highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for a solid interior designer that puts just as much heart and soul into your project as you would :) Her work speaks for itself, so I’ve added some photos :)

We are so glad to have found Tara to help us navigate an “upgrade and refresh” of our home flooring and decor. Tara is a jewel and wonderful to work with! She was thoughtful, listened to our preferences and made great suggestions as to ways we could refresh on a timeline and on budget. We can’t say enough about how happy we are that we consulted with her before we began our remodeling journey.

Details: Design of 3 - 4 rooms • Kitchen • Living room • Dining room • 1,000 - 1,500 sq ft • Lighting selection • Color palette / paint selection • Flooring selection • Window treatments selection • Traditional • Craftsman / Farmhouse • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
