Stages · For real estate agents
Homes, staged to be loved.
An empty house shows square footage. A staged home shows a life. I style listings of every architecture — Mediterranean, modern, Spanish, farmhouse and colonial — so buyers walk in and feel at home.

01 · Mediterranean
The Olive Villa
Sun-washed stucco and terracotta asked for rooms that felt like a summer on the coast. I kept everything light so the arches and views could sell the home.
- —Cream linen and travertine to echo the stucco
- —Olive trees to bring the garden indoors
- —Clear sightlines to every arched window
Staged · Dining room
A long oak table set for a slow lunch on the terrace.
02 · Modern
Glass House
Clean lines and walls of glass can feel cold when empty. Soft boucle, warm oak and one bold piece of art made it feel lived in without clutter.
- —Low furniture to keep the windows open
- —Black accents to match the architecture
- —Texture over color for a calm, expensive feel
Staged · Great room
A generous sectional defines the space in an open plan.
Staged · Primary suite
Hotel-calm linen and sculptural lamps — buyers picture resting here.
03 · Spanish Revival
Casa Blanca
Beams, arches and hand-painted tile already carry so much character. I let them lead, adding leather, wood and warmth that honor the home's history.
- —Cognac leather and rich wood to match the beams
- —Tile and pottery as the color story
- —Sunlight left free to pour across the floors
Staged · Living room
The arched fireplace becomes the heart of the room.
Staged · Kitchen
Lemons, brass and greenery — a kitchen you can almost smell.
04 · Modern Farmhouse
Meadow Farmhouse
Families shop with their hearts. This home needed to feel like Sunday mornings — soft, washable, welcoming, with room for everyone.
- —Slipcovered linen and vintage rugs
- —A tall fig to lift the vaulted ceiling
- —Layered bedding that invites you in
Staged · Great room
Seating for the whole family, gathered around the fire.
Staged · Bedroom
Shiplap, linen and a woven pendant — cozy and calm.
05 · Classic Colonial
The Brick Colonial
A stately home deserves rooms that feel collected over generations. Velvet, crystal and candlelight gave it the warmth of a beloved family house.
- —Oxblood velvet against cream walls
- —Crystal and brass to catch evening light
- —Formal rooms set as if guests are arriving
Staged · Formal living
Wing chairs by the fire — buyers imagine their own holidays here.
Staged · Dining room
Candles lit, china set, a table ready for celebrations.
