Testimonials from class participants:

Thrilled

I had the honor of being one of her students this summer and was amazed at how she could transform a room using items that were already there. She takes the time to get to know her clients' wants & wishes, and the rest is magic. I highly recommend this class.

Scratch your itch

I feel much more confident, motivated, and excited to do this after the class. I highly recommend her to anyone who has an itch in the home design world that they have never scratched (or even those with experience who are seeking to grow). It is well worth the time and investment!

Sold My Listings

I now know and use the principles of home staging. I was afraid to invest in my education, but I’ve staged my listings and most of them have sold in less than two weeks, at a higher price than originally thought. I'm surprised at how creative I've become by learning this simple process.
