What people are saying about A Fresh Look...

home staging Dear Kit, I am still marveling over my "new" living room and sunroom sitting areas! I couldn't believe the transformation that took place! My husband was in awe when he came home on Monday night---he loved it! You are a genius, Kit! We are so excited about the whole scene! I will keep in touch--- I love your working style and could use more of your expertise in other rooms in my house.
Thanks, Kit

home staging Hi Kit! Just got your thank you note from consulting you did for us... I was thinking about you anyway because we are back in our house now, and
we LOVE the paint colors you helped us choose. The changes so reflect our taste,
and I'm thrilled!!! I can't thank you enough ... You really gave me peace of mind at a time when I was extremely  stressed out about choosing those paint colors. You made the whole daunting  process pleasurable! I will be contacting you again, I'm sure, and referring your services to any and all of my friends, too. I'd love to have you come to just see how everything turned out.
Thank you again!

home staging"I'm the real estate agent for the clients whose home you staged yesterday...they showed me the work you did for them in arranging pictures and moving things around. I could tell it was the hand of a professional that did this and was AMAZED they had so many pieces that would work just right in various places, without having to buy anything!! They are so proud, and I was just impressed to pieces."
Pat Jordan, Realtor


home staging"My condo sold shortly after your visit! And in the meantime, we enjoyed the clarity and peace the changes made".
Tracey White


home staging"As someone who has a very modern, "designerly" sensibility, I wasn't sure if Kit had the understanding of the aesthetic I was going towards for my apartment. Even though she mentioned I didn't have the kind of place and objects she usually worked with, she had a lot of fun working out a "fresh look". Kit gave me great ideas to improve the overall space and image of my apartment. Not only that, she was able to do it in a very short time. She is worth every cent---she is professional and creative. And my space feels better. It's like decorative "recycling" of your own objects. I can't wait to work with her again."
Sally


home staging"We sold our house (thanks to your advice)! You helped us see what we needed to do (and what we didn't need to do) in order to sell our house for the highest amount possible. Thank you so much for helping us focus on what was important and ignoring things that weren't important for us to reach our goal".
Kathy Wallace


home stagingI took your class a good two years ago and engaged you to come to our home and consult r.e. staging. Well, we took many of your suggestions and sold our San Mateo duplex for $25,000 above our asking price! I know your teaching influenced our decisions because the open, flowing floor plan feels wonderful."
Joyce and bob Patterson-Rogers


home staging"Our house sold in exactly 4 weeks. The people who bought it said that they had a good feeling about the house and it had good "energy". They are a lovely family, buying their first home. We are thrilled to be selling to them . I know your effort made this all possible. I am so grateful to you...thank you, thank you, thank you!

home staging"...My house sold in one week! I received many comments from realtors, neighbors and clients about how good the house looked. Many thanks to you and your valuable advice."
Mary Gabrielson


home stagingWe are so pleased with the suggestions you gave us and the changes you made in our living room and family room…we are both delighted with the changes. We were tired with the way we had things, so we welcomed the different look you have created for us.
Thanks very much.

home staging"I had Kit come yesterday and she was worth every penny. Her sense of flow and intuition to personal tastes and style are right on. She also uses exactly what you already have, not insisting that you buy things, and never shrugging in disgust at the gumball machine with the princess hat on top of it gracing our oversized, outdate stereo speakers."
