We hired Michelle to stage a home at the beginning of our rehab that was supposed to take 3 months. After changing our date with her half a dozen times (in which she very graciously allowed us to do!) she was finally able to stage the home 6 months later. Her staging was perfectly complimentary to the home and nearly made me want to keep the house myself. She is completely dependable and says and does exactly as promised in addition to having very fair and competitive pricing. She is now a permanent addition to any staging needs I will EVER have!

Michelle went above & beyond to satisfy me & my clients needs & budget. She has a great eye for seeing the "big picture" when it come to homestaging, not just furniture placement. Thanks for the great work & results!

I never really got a chance to meet Michelle. We needed to get our home on the market quickly, before we had to leave town, and I ended up working out everything over the phone and by email with Michelle. She was able to get the place staged in a very short time, and for a good price. The pictures look great.

I interviewed and had 3 stagers bid on my project. Michelle came in with an impressive gallery online AND a competitive bid. Michelle was responsive and communicative. We emailed and messaged and I had a very short timeline. I communicated to the 3 stagers that I was hoping to make a decision ASAP and Michelle emailed me first, during a busy day with a bid for the work. Clearly, she was committed and heard my needs. The staging showcases our home nicely. We have a huge bonus room that I never knew what to do in and she came in and made it show as a multifunctional space that I could see real people using! With all of our back and forth and short timelines, there was a minor miscommunication on the scope of the work, and Michelle worked over the weekend with me to get it rapidly fixed to my liking!

FAQs
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I painted murals for my daughters' rooms. When friends and family saw what I'd done, they proposed that I paint for a living. From there, my business began as painting and gardening--two things I love to do. I've wanted to be an interior decorator since highschool, but took a different academic course. Every professional and personal venture, however, has involved creativity and design in some capacity. One of my happy places is sitting in the home magazine section at Barnes and Noble, looking for home ideas. I love home rennovation projects and I'm handy. I enjoy building things and learn as I go. I sew. Because I love nearly everything home and seem to be domestically inclined, this seems like the perfect path for me.
What types of customers have you worked with?
It's most importance for me to know my clients--what they like and how they use their home spaces. My first priority is to get to know them, then to learn what they envision for their homes. I offer furnishing, decor, accessory, lighting and artwork selection, flooring and countertop selection, and color (paint) consultations. Ideas come naturally. And then I hit the street, so to speak, to locate all of the elements. I check multiple sources--stores and online--for the best possible options, and determine costs along the way. I paint interior walls, paint murals, and apply specialty finishes. I stage and restage.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
All of us can walk into a furniture store and receive help from a sales associate to furnish a room. I first care about my clients and want to know how best to design their home spaces, not just sell them on expensive furnishings. Look for someone who wants to know you and your preferences, irregardless of your budget. A great designer will offer imaginative solutions for your projects and inspire your own ingenuity.
