For professional staging, Homescape Designs and Sara transformed a modest home into a beautiful…read morehome. She created a welcoming flow throughout. Prospective buyers saw "a fully evolved home", not just an empty shell with furniture tossed in. Because of her experience in the business, her furnishings selection complemented the existing features of the home such as floor colors, stairway rails, kitchen colors etc. Sara also did more than staging - She provided cost effective suggestions for things such as wall colors, lighting, appliances and landscaping. Sara was easily approachable and timely. She worked well with the real estate agent, and was reasonably priced. Most importantly she understands her business inside and out.

This home appraised 38% higher after hiring Staging Pro's…read more I'm a Sacramento Realtor who Listed a high end home in Los Gatos for Sale. Since it's my job to Sell the home for the highest possible Sales price for my Client, I hired Karen Dayton from Staging Pros to help me. Karen was very quick to respond to my need, and very accommodating with her scheduling. She toured the home, and then advised us (Seller and I) of her design and staging recommendations. She offered her Staging services at a fair price, and she was flexible with her Staging schedule. Karen was very kind to not charge my Seller extra, when she could have, as it was a stipulation written into the Contract, when my Seller wasn't not prepared on the scheduled date. As promised, Staging Pro's staged the home before the Listing activated, and then destaged the home after the home Sold. Karen of Staging Pro's became apart of my "dream team", and her services helped increase the home's appraised value by 38%!!! Below are some before and after pics of the home, along with a few extra pics. The pics speak for themselves. Thank you, Karen, for being a part of my "dream team" and making my listed home "shine". You're the BEST!

But Karen assured us she would be very mindful of that fact. Honestly when I walked in to see it, it took my breath away! It was just beautifu!

She & her team were super professional. Highly recommend them!

SHORT REVIEW: 10/10 experience with designer Sandra Blank! You won't find a more talented and fun…read moredesigner than her!!! LONG REVIEW: Home remodeling can be one of the most STRESSFUL and time-consuming projects you will ever embark upon! I'd rather have 4 root canals done at the same time without local anesthesia!! That's how much I was looking forward to our recent full-home remodel after hearing horrible stories from friends and neighbors about their experiences. I spent weeks researching and then interviewing 7 different designers to land the right one for our job. Boy, did we hit the jackpot with Sandra Blank of Blank Space Designs in Los Gatos!! Sandra was the perfect combination I needed: expertise in the field, outstanding vendor contacts (everyone loves her!), excellent communication skills, calmness and humor! All at a very reasonable price that fit my tight budget. INCREDIBLY ENJOYABLE & FUN is how I would describe the design process with Sandra. She helped me to create a design style, then delivered 3D photo realistic slides to bring our remodel to life! Sandra worked collaboratively with me and our contractor to implement in a timely manner. I looked forward to every single appointment we had at our home, her studio and onsite at cabinet & tile/stone businesses, etc. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SANDRA FOR ANY DESIGN PROJECT! My experience and the outcome of our home design was so wonderful that I have recommended her to every friend, neighbor (and random stranger at slab yards) planning a remodel. I was so fortunate that another Yelper was willing to provide their specific experience to help me decide on hiring Sandra. I am happy to do the same, so feel free to reach out to me.

My contractor needed me to purchase all the materials before the project could begin, but I didn't know where to shop, what to choose, or how much to buy. Sandra was a lifesaver. She came prepared with a full design presentation that perfectly captured the look I was going for. She knew exactly where it made sense to invest in high-end fixtures and where we could find great bargains without compromising the aesthetic. She also tracked down the exact marble I had fallen in love with from my inspiration photo--something I would have never been able to do on my own. I wasn't even sure what type of material it was in the photo! In the end, I got the bathroom I had always dreamed of. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

I hired Kathy Sturr of Inside Out Designs to help us transition our son's room from the youthful…read morePottery Barn style he had outgrown and move him to a practical yet tasteful room befitting a high school-er as well as possibly college and beyond. At first, it seemed like a pretty straight forward project but as we got into we realized there were many challenging and potentially conflicting interests. There was the 'look n feel' and quality that we wanted to be consistent with our home; would he take these items with him to college and/or beyond or do we keep a 'guest room' in mind should he not take it with him; and our developed sense of style vs. his burgeoning and changing style. Accomplishing our son's design and décor preferences within our budget and taking short term and long term plans for the room into consideration could have been a frustration at best and a battleground at worst. Lastly, given the new school year was approaching and his room was a central place for homework, it was important the project get implemented quickly. Kathy was phenomenal at finding sources, styles, and solutions that fulfilled multiple criteria and with surprisingly nominal compromise. All of us felt our opinions and desires were heard and listened to. The scope of project: we went from twin to queen bed, his small desk evolved into a workstation and we added more space efficient bookcase all in a coordinated (versus matchy matchy) sophisticated and gently distressed 'shaker' styling. We added more sophisticated bedding and window treatments and Kathy helped us re-frame and reposition artwork so it was cohesive and impactful instead of its former scattered and disparate look. We now have a room that gives him a warm, inviting, mature look, is practical and supports his school needs and is classic enough to endure through college and beyond. And should he outgrow the look as he grows older, we have a beautiful guest room that resonates with the style or our home. Kathy was a pleasure to work with, attentive to every detail, and brought an eye for quality balanced by budget and needs. She easily managed different personalities and criteria, and kept the project on time and on budget. She was also able to blend custom with ready-made, online and retail store to help us get the most value for our money, manage our time effectively and allow us to be 'hands on' where seeing the quality first hand was important. We loved working with her and highly recommend her!
