Bottom line: WHEN YOU NEED A HOME STAGED CALL "DANETTE"…read more I am a realtor and a fellow realtor recommended Danette for staging. I have been so impressed with her suggestions from Choosing paint colors, in this case we used some of the owners furniture and Danette added the embellishments. This listing had an offer after only 3 day on the market!! Sellers are thrilled! Buyers are thrilled and Agents are thrilled. Your professional direction was so important in this sale. THANK YOU!! I will refer you to other agents and of course call you to stage all my listings. Janice Boardman eXp Realty of California

This is a very long overdue review...  Over the course of several years we worked with Cyndi Mosher…read moreat Beyond the Box on a complete rebuild of our Westside home in Santa Cruz. The project was primarily an owner build, so between that and the pandemic it ended up being a multi-year project.  Over the course of planning and building we worked very closely with Cyndi - not only on the designs for our kitchen and bathrooms but for general design help throughout the house. Cyndi was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and helpful - she had an inordinate amount of patience (and tact!) in helping us navigate through the thousands of decisions that had to be made. She was adept at creating a cohesive design out of our rather ad hoc lists of likes and dislikes, and did so without imposing her own personal preferences or style. My husband and I also both appreciated that she was very pragmatic - she understood that we weren't interested in building a mansion and was very good about pointing out the areas where it made sense to spend and where it didn't. Her knowledge and contacts in the business were invaluable, both in terms of the quality of the workmanship we ended up with as well as access to resources that we would not have been able to find on our own. When it came time to order all our cabinets and countertops she handled every last detail, and made sure that what we ultimately received exactly matched her specifications. I was originally hesitant to hire a designer, both because of the additional cost and also because my husband and I are both fairly practical and were more interested in function over form. We have no regrets - engaging Cyndi to help us with the project was money that was very well spent. Not only did it prevent expensive mistakes, but we love the results. After living in the house for over a year I can honestly say that there isn't anything that she helped design that I would do differently if given the chance. A few of the rooms from our project are pictured on the Beyond the Box website: https://www.btbkitchens.com/rustic-elegance

So after another staging group fell through, I called Limelight with a request to do a home staging…read morewith short notice. They called me back on their day off and came over even though they were on a day off. They got their quote to me that day, and they were hired. Limelight accommodated my narrow stairs, so they brought pieces to accommodate those needs. Their design was modern and classic mixed. I was very happy with the results. A last but not least, the owner is so friendly, laid back, and calm energy. I highly recommend this staging company, especially for Scotts Valley as they are local. Thanks, you guys!

I had the pleasure to work with Key Impressions for the past year on a recently renovated home I…read morecompleted in Santa Cruz. I really can't say enough about Blain and Nick's commitment to excellence. They were both extremely professional and exceeded every expectation I had in terms of quality, artistic taste, helpfulness along with their undeniable kind natures. Nick and Blain first showed up with consulting advice on colors palettes and contemporary ideas for my remodel. When they offered to help me with any questions I had, they probably didn't think I would take them up on it with the multitude of decisions I had make on this remodel. After all, I'm an engineer and not a home designer that keeps up with the current trends. In walking through the home they added some insights into what would make the home more desirable when it finally went on the market. I took all their advice and it turned out better than I had imagined. The final bonus was their actual staging. Well, these guys hit it out of the park in my opinion. Key Impressions will certainly not disappoint you when it comes to their professionalism, quality, commitment and earnest desire to help! Eric Haya- Homeowner Santa Cruz

She offers full service staging as well as assisting with reorganizing and decorating with the homeowner's possessions. My client opted for the latter was we were all blown away with what Katie could do using items that were already in the home to make it more aesthetically pleasing. She ran to the home furniture store and picked up any additional items we needed too. Needless to say, our listing showed beautifully, my clients were so pleased, and we were able to sell the home in no time at all. I have no doubt that Katie played an essential role in the sale. ...oh and did I mention Katie has a heart of gold ?! She is absolutely sweetest woman you will ever meet and will immediately make you feel comfortable and confident. THANK YOU KATIE!

I actually personally sought out Katie after several bad experiences with other stagers. I called her and interviewed her. She was spot on with her approach and pricing. Katie is the most detail oriented, professional, and honest stager I have ever met. She always goes above and beyond the call of duty for all of my clients and listings to ensure that she presents them in the absolute BEST light. She has the ability to make even the worst home show very well with her staging and design techniques. Almost every single home that I use Katie to stage sells within a week and/or for asking or over asking price. Her work ethic is second to none and she is a great communicator and business partner. If you're looking for the BEST designer, stager, and a great person to work with then look no further - Katie Champlin of Interiors with Flair should be your go to! Thanks for everything Katie, you rock!

I worked with Sandra on a bathroom remodel after hiring a general contractor who didn't offer any…read moredesign support. I came in with just an inspiration photo and no idea where to start. 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.

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.
