I design every home I own before I ever rent it, and I stage the listings I sell. It's not a hobby bolted onto real estate — it's the reason my properties fill fast and my listings photograph well. I do it for other people too.
Every project is quoted individually — square footage, condition, and how much of it you want me to handle all move the number.
A house that photographs well gets more showings, and more showings get better offers. I stage the rooms that decide the sale — the ones buyers see in the first three photos.
Quoted per property
The hard part of a renovation isn't picking tile — it's knowing which $8,000 gets you $20,000 back and which one gets you nothing. I've spent that money on my own properties and learned the difference.
Quoted per project
Hand me an empty investment property and get back a home that's photographed, listed and ready for a tenant to walk into with a suitcase. Exactly what I do for my own rentals.
Quoted per property
Warm neutrals, real texture, and furniture people can actually live on. Every one of these is a working property — occupied, rented or sold.
I see the space — in person if you're local, by video if you're not — and we talk about who it's for and what it has to accomplish.
You get a written scope, a look and feel, and a number. No work starts until you've seen all three and said yes.
I find, order and track everything — furniture, finishes, accessories — and coordinate delivery so it lands in the right week.
Everything goes in and gets styled in one push. You walk into a finished room, not a pile of boxes.
The brief changes completely depending on which one you are — a house being sold and a house being rented want very different decisions.
This is the list I work from on my own rentals. "Furnished" is a word people use loosely — a tenant finds out what it really meant on their first night, when they go looking for a colander.
Sofa, occasional seating, coffee and side tables, lamps, rug, art, and a television with somewhere sensible to put it.
Bed and quality mattress, frame, nightstands, lamps, dresser, mirror, blackout window treatments, and two full sets of linens per bed.
Pots, pans, bakeware, knives, utensils, dishes, glassware, mugs, mixing bowls, small appliances, and the drawer of things nobody lists until it's missing.
Table and chairs sized to the actual headcount — a crew of six should not be eating in shifts.
Towel sets per guest, bath mats, shower curtain and liner, waste bins, and starter paper goods and toiletries.
Iron and board, drying rack, hamper, vacuum, broom, mop, and starter cleaning supplies.
Can opener, corkscrew, phone chargers, extension cords, light bulbs, batteries, a first-aid kit, and a fire extinguisher.
The finished house shot properly for the listing. A furnished rental that photographs badly rents slowly, whatever is actually in it.
Scope flexes to the property and your budget — a one-bedroom for a traveling nurse and a five-bedroom for a project crew are different jobs. You own everything at the end; it isn't rented furniture.
If yours isn't here, send it with your project details and I'll answer it directly.
For turnkey furnishing, yes — you're buying it and it stays with the property. Staging is different: pieces brought in purely to sell the house come back out after it closes. I'll be clear about which is which before anything is ordered.
I do. Sourcing, ordering and tracking delivery is most of the work and the part people most want to hand over. You approve the plan and the budget; I chase the freight company when the sectional is late.
A staging refresh can happen in days. A full furnishing is usually governed by lead times rather than by labor — some upholstery is quick, some is many weeks out. Tell me your listing date or your tenant's move-in date up front and I'll build the plan backward from it, substituting where something won't land in time.
Yes, and I do — it's common with investor clients. Video walk-through, measurements, and photos of the space as it is. You see everything before it's ordered.
No. One room that's never worked is a perfectly good place to start, and it's a low-risk way to find out whether you like working with me before committing a whole house.
Not at all. Plenty of this work is for people staying exactly where they are who just want the house to finally feel finished.
