I believe that everyone should love their space. And that it should reflect who they are and how they live. My mission is to offer good design with your style (and budget) in mind, because everyone deserves to love the space their in! 

Where does home staging come in you ask.  I began offering home staging so that sellers could move out and move on to create the next home to love and find buyers who will love theirs.

I enjoy offering decorating and staging services from my home in the Austin hill country, with my two beautiful daughters and my loving husband. We are originally from San Antonio, but have lived all over Texas, including Fort Worth, Keller, Houston, Marble Falls, Pflugerville, Cedar Park and Spicewood. We love living in Texas, there are so many wonderful people and beautiful places, but Austin is where we call home.

I made my profession, before children, as a Event Coordinator, while decorating some on the side. After my first daughter was born I decided I wanted to work from home and started with a direct sales company that focused on making peoples homes more inviting and welcoming. I learned many wonderful decorating tips and ideas through the company while continuing to study interior decorating on my own. I also met other people just like you, who wanted beautiful items in there home, but didn't know how to use them or incorporate them in their decor, it was a perfect segue into launching my own decorating company. After buying and selling two of my own homes, I added home staging to my repertoire.  

I had the privilege of being the 2010 president of the Austin Chapter of the Real Estate Staging Association as well as volunteering in the community. 

Meeting people who have almost given up, find hope and joy in their eyes, with what is to come, is the reason I do what I do. And when it is complete they are able to enjoy life again.

It is such a wonderful feeling, meeting strangers and through the course of a project getting to know the person or the family. I love what I do, and I look forward to helping you make your home a place to love too.

The devil is in the details and you are really selling the dream. I was just affected by how gorgeous the house looks. I’m so thrilled. I’m going to drag every person with ears though our house to show off your handy work. I can’t thank you enough. When I walk past the office and guest room alone, it just knocks my socks off. I saw the photos online of our house and they were just so stark – you definitely helped us warm things up. I love, love ,love the rug on the back porch…wow! This house is going to sell soon!!! I learned so much and had so much fun running around with our little decorating crew! What a fun day! I’m serious, I can’t thank you enough. When someone does look, they are going to love it, love it, love it. I just know it!!!! I can’t tell you how you have breathed hope into my heart where this silly house is concerned!  Thank you so much!!!!

Hi, Alicia.

I’m sorry that I didn’t call or write earlier to tell you how very much we love the work that you did on our Christmas Tree! It is absolutely gorgeous. I can’t believe you created that out of our same old ornaments. You are truly a wonder! Please, please put me on your schedule for next year.

Thank you so much Alicia. I would highly recommend you to any one I know. Dana
