East Bay Home Staging Services

The goal of my home staging services is to make my seller's house look and feel welcoming by showing off its best features, while at the same time inspiring buyers to imagine it as their new home.

Here are a few examples of the work I do with my team of staging, painting, flooring, lighting, landscape and remodeling professionals, to prepare a property for marketing. Naturally, the scope of each project depends entirely on my client's needs.

Soft color and contemporary furnishings enhance the light and scale of this beautiful home, creating a comfortable feeling which harmonizes with the classic grace of this 1920's Elmwood traditional.

 

A new "retro" floor and the right paint colors turn this once-tired 80's remodel into a fun ketchup 'n' mustard kitchen. The color theme also highlights the existing lovely oak cabinets.

 

A 50's rancher in the Oakland Hills is transformed with refinished floors, recessed lighting and modern furnishings. The soothing wall colors and bold accents fit right in with the straight architectural lines.

 

A classic Berkeley Mediterranean calls for traditional treatment to emphasize the warmth and elegance of the vintage wall sconces, cathedral ceiling and period details of this Thousand Oaks beauty.

 

This cosmopolitan theme, using contemporary colors and modern furnishings, creates drama and excitement in an otherwise basic live/work loft in Jack London Square.

 

A few stepping stones and a little TLC transforms this forgotten side yard into an enchanting and welcoming garden, one of the highlights of this magical Berkeley Hills home.
