Big thanks to Carol and her team for staging my home for sale. It's perfect - beachy and warm, contemporary yet timeless. The whole crew was very professional, punctual, and careful. Kelly and Ashley appeared to really take ownership of final result, and seemed genuinely proud of their accomplishment. How awesome is that? Great work. Thanks again! read more

See all

110%. That's what Carol & Danni give. Always. Not only are they staging geniuses, they have a level of customer service that is hard to come by! They don't stage a house to look staged, they stage a house to take it to the next level. Recently, I had a relatively generic property & their idea to "Palm Spings it up" really worked! It gave the house the personality that it desperately needed & in turn, got this house 15 offers & sold well over asking. THAT is what the ECD team brings to the table. Their HUGE warehouse of options allows them to make it happen for sellers, buyers & agents alike. No need to look any further! read more

This is a superb designing company for interior staging. We recently put our condo in La Jolla up for sale. Everything Creative Designs swooped in, created a wonderful space for buyers to view and when our condo sold, they were so flexible with their destaging process. We are all the more grateful since we no longer lived in California. From thousands of miles away, we were assured of a job well done. And supremely affordable. We highly recommend Everything Creative Designs. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Everything Creative Designs. Our realtor Greg Noonan highly recommended Carol and her team to stage our house prior to selling. Carol and Kelly came to give an estimate and we walked through every room, including the yard, discussing possibilities. They were warm and friendly and Carol made positive suggestions, Kelly took photos and in a very short time they had mapped out the staging plan for the whole house and yard. On the day of staging Kelly and Whitney arrived with several young men and it was like greeting old friends. I felt very comfortable leaving them to perform their magic while I went out for the morning. Within a few hours they had transformed the house. They used some of our furniture, pottery, books and paintings and matched them beautifully with furniture and items from their warehouse. It was pretty impressive how efficient and decisive Carol had been at the initial consultation and the final results looked fantastic. I must also mention the three lovely young men who came to de-stage the house. They arrived on time, were friendly and courteous, and worked very quietly and quickly to remove all items. Initially we were surprised how reasonable the cost was considering it included two months rental of all the staging furniture and decorative items. Staging also eliminated a lot of the anxiety around preparing the house to sell and having it "show" well day after day. But after we received multiple offers over the asking price within two weeks on the market we are completely sold on the concept of staging. We have no doubt that Carol and her team's creativity and expertise helped sell our house above asking price and in a short space of time - they come with our highest recommendation. read more

BIG THANK YOU to Everything Creative Designs! They deserve all the praise and five-star reviews they have received. Kim and Kelly are extremely professional, creative, communicative and easy to work with. Our home sold in just 1 week for above asking!!! As a real estate agent, I am a big believer of staging a home for sale. But I love design, so when I put my house on the market, I even entertained the thought of staging on my own. However, after seeing their work, I know now that I could not do in ten years what they pulled off in a couple hours! My place looks so amazing and has received nothing but glowing remarks from all who have seen it. It has been statistically proven that professionally staged homes have sold 2 to 3 times faster and for 3-10% more than homes that have not been staged. Staging makes your house look bigger, brighter, cleaner and best of all; it makes home buyers want to buy it!! Kim and Kelly are capable to create the right atmosphere for buyers when they first enter the home, they focus the buyers' attention on the product you wish to sell: the house itself! Thanks so much for all of your help ladies! read more

Carol Kaplan and her Team did an amazing job---what can I say...impressive, efficient, professional, awesome, amazing, stylish, tasteful...in the open house all those walking through loved her staging and appreciated the house I was putting on the market...my friends say the house has never looked so good (and they're right). My house sold in less than a week and I did it ForSaleByOwner...Realestate agents commented that they were really impressed...check out how good it looked: 3524alabamastreet.com Everything Creative really helped sell my house. They made a nice house look amazing. THANK YOU CAROL!! I would ask for help again hands down--absolutely, and recommend highly to anyone who wants amazing results read more

We had our home staged in San Diego. Whitney did a phenomenal job! The staging in every room was gorgeous. Her suggestions for changing out the lighting were my favorite thing about the entire project. Her communication was very good as well. The pictures came out remarkable and we sold in the first week. I highly recommend Everything Creative Designs. read more

Unless you are staging a 15 million dollar home, they only treat you like a client when it comes to paying the bills. All the other times, they do not return emails or calls. read more

Carol is an angel! She has made me so happy beyond measure. The same day of my consult she shopped for almost everything and within a few short hours my whole apartment has been transformed into my dream place. I'm so excited!!!! She was fast, cost effective and beyond charming/helpful. I only wish I had more place for Carol to decorate. Truly one of a kind service! read more

I was referred to Whitney by a good friend. He is a real estate agent and he couldn't be more right on with her. Whitney came to the consultation and was very respectful and asked my tastes and what I felt comfortable with. I told her generally what I liked but asked her to use our empty house as her canvas. She blew me away. My mom who knows a lot about high class design was very pleased. The amount of traffic we got through our house was astronomical. All because it was staged so well and the pictures were beautiful. People had to come see it. She was a pleasure to work with and worked around my schedule. I'm a working mom of you young kids. I definitely recommend her. read more

I had decided to stage my home prior to putting on the market but I had no idea it would be this dramatic of a positive thing! Carol and her team are the most amazing, thrifty and talented designers I have worked with and Ive worked with many. I left in the morning around 9 and when I returned in the late afternoon I almost didn't recognize my home. Using all my furniture and accessories and a few pillow, lamps and rugs they brought in my home looked like something off a showroom floor! I literally started crying when I saw how beautiful two of the rooms looked. I have had more showings than ever since they staged and it was worth every penny. They are the nicest people too. read more

I recently hired Carol for a home I just listed in Downtown San Diego at Union Square. Carol did an amazing job of staging the large one bedroom condo and it looks great! She was quickly able to do the job. Within two days after I called Carol was there to get the job done and the price was great too. I was able to quickly have photos taken after the stage and my seller was so happy that we were able to get it done and listed right away. Carol was able to give this vacant 914 sqft condo a very chic, fresh and roomy feel. I would recommend Carol to anyone looking for great interior design or home staging. I can tell Carol really enjoys what she does which can bee seen in her work. Thanks Carol! read more

I'm a La Jolla Realtor and have used Carol a number of times to stage my homes for sale. She is a real pro with excellent design skills that has turned several of my challenges into gems that sold for great prices. Buyers universally compliment the appearance of the homes. In addition, her prices are very reasonable. Carol is a very important part of the marketing team and I will continue to use her. read more

Carol is an excellent interior designer and stager! She has an amazing eye for color, space, and decoration. She will use all the things in your home and transform it into a masterpiece! read more

I am a realtor in San Diego and have worked with Carol on many of my listings. She does beautiful staging for owners/agents and also does interior design. She has an amazing eye for detail and transforms the properties she works on. Carol is someone I recommend to all of my clients...I always look forward to working with her. read more

I invited Carol and Everything Creative to my office downtown to consult on the design of an upscale urban office. I was thrilled with her expertise, advice and ability to acquire custom solutions. I have been referred to Carol many times from Realtors I know who rely on her team with every home they sell and was glad I decided to call her. read more

We owe the recent sale of our home to Carol and her team. We tried to sell last year without staging to no avail. We had one offer $400,000 under list price. The listing expired without a sale. We put our home back on the market in May and had 2 full price offers the first day!! Carol is truly an expert. She was able to use our furnishings and added some of her pieces to transform our home into a 'dream home'. We weren't sure we wanted to sell after the transformation! We look forward to using her again in the future. Thank you Carol!!! read more

Carol did an amazing job staging my clients home! With our tight deadlines she was able to come in and make the home look like a model. Carol listened to the feel we were looking for and executed the job perfectly. When we suddenly moved the closing up she came in with only 2 days notice to clear everything out. And this was a 4600 SF home almost fully staged! Thanks Carol! read more

Whitney helped us stage a condo we are selling in Scripps Ranch and I was a little nervous since they were a new company to us. From the beginning, she was very professional and had great advice on what we should do, but was also willing to solicit feedback from us to ensure we would be happy. She responded to every call, txt and e-mail I sent in a timely manner. We had 1-week to get the condo ready for our open house, so it was a tight timeline, but they were able to help us meet our deadline with ease. ECD has very high quality furnishings and is very up to date on current styles and trends. Needless to say, my clients are thrilled with the finished product and I have no doubt the staging will help us get the price we want for our clients. Thanks Whitney! read more

We recently put our home on the market and hired Everything Creative Designs to stage it for us. We had been living in the home for 35 years and some of it was dated and needed a facelift to show better. It looked so great when we walked in after the staging was completed that we almost wanted to reconsider selling! The rooms looked fresh and vibrant and the first weekend that we had the open houses we had two buyers! Our realtor told us that a number of the people coming through to see our home commented on how beautiful the staging looked. We were pleased from start to finish with the process. The staff was polite, professional and very reliable. We would highly recommend their services. read more

Carol came highly recommended from several local real estate agents and we are so glad we chose her firm. After a few minutes of walking through our clients property, she knew exactly what was needed to make it a show piece. Her pricing is extremely competitive and we will be using her firm on all of our listings. read more

Carol and her team at Everything Creative Designs are simply excellent at what they do. As a local Real Estate Professional I rely on partners of differing trades to achieve results for my clients, and I can consistently rely on Carol and her team to do a great job. read more

I was referred to Carol by my real estate agent. I had never used a stager before and was leery of it. It turned into one of the best investment we have made. Our home sold in a weekend in Pacific Beach. (and it wasn't a 15 million dollar home) I loved what they did to my house in PB so much that I asked them to please come to my new home and help me decorate/furnish it. Both times the team was very professional and very careful and courteous. They helped me make my new home look beautiful (I get compliments all the time) everything ties together so nicely. They will work with what you already have and I bought a few new things. I will continue to use them for any of my decorating needs and wrote this review to suggest that others do also. read more

"GENIUS!" is the best word I can come up with to describe Carol and her team. I will never, ever forget the feeling I had when I walked into my house the evening after Carol and Katy had redecorated it (using my things!). I dropped everything in amazement and walked slowly in shock through my fabulous new home. Every turn revealed something more extraordinary, special, creative and genius!!! She has an amazing talent. I have a very particular style which is actually opposite of "staged." I told Carol I loved "Anthropologie." Now, I'm living in a page from an Anthropologie catalogue, and my house is even more functional and cozy than it was before she came (I was worried about losing function over style...unnecessarily worried it turns out!) Carol is extremely talented and professional. I don't know how she did it but she read my mind. I'm fussy, and everything she did is 100% what I wanted but didn't know how to do. I still don't know how she does it and for such a reasonable price. I'm telling all my friends that they can afford an interior designer! And she and Katy even put a cabinet together that I had purchased. These are superwomen! And it's true - her teams' one goal is to make you happy. I can't thank her sufficiently. I can only hope that the happiness she creates by generously sharing her other-worldly talent will come back to her and her team many times over. Thank you Carol and Katy! read more

Absolutely fantastic results every time I have worked with Carol and her team of designers. I know I can 100% rely on Carol for her professionalism and wonderful approach with my clients. I would say approximately 80% of my listings sell within 30 days of listing when they are staged or re-designed by Everything Creative, and many of them sell within 7 days! Carol recently staged a multi million dollar oceanfront property for my client, and it went into escrow within 40 days. The buyers loved the interior furnishings and decor so much, they actually hired Carol to furnish the home for them after the close of escrow!! The ultimate compliment! Carol's staff is polite and very accommodating with the homeowners, which is so very important to me. I have been extremely impressed with this hard working team of individuals, and I would recommend Carol's services to anyone looking for a wonderful asset to succeed in this business. If I could give a 10 star rating, I would. read more

I recently used Carol and her team to stage a home in San Diego. They were a dream to work with even under very tight timelines! She made the home look stylish and welcoming! The buyer wanted to purchase all the furniture along with the house - that's how perfectly she matched the furnishings to the house. I highly recommend! read more

Carol was a tremendous help in making our house look pulled together and like a home. The people she calls on to help out are incredible too. She did an unbelievable job in hanging picture groupings, selecting fabric for reupholstering to add color, selecting bedding, and installing lighting. She knows the proper order to follow in putting a room together. She is cost-effective in terms of using pieces that you already have and refinishing them if need be. She helps you in making your own decisions by providing you with options to narrow down your selection and finally make a decision. I highly recommend her if you are feeling overwhelmed with different needs in different spaces. She is very easy-going and fun to work with, and she gets things done. read more

Carol made our home look like a page out of a magazine. She took our own things, added a few things, did some rearranging, made our knicknacks into art, and now I love walking into every room in my house! Her vision is something that I could never achieve on my own. It just feels so great to have our home look so pleasing. And we didn't have to spend a ton of money buying all new things. Carol did her magic while highlighting our own taste, style and the "treasures" we've picked up along the way. read more

Carol and her team of designers are great! They will leave your home looking better than you could imagine. I have worked with them in the past doing home staging and they are reliable and responsible as well as talented. I recommend Everything Creative to anyone who needs a designer or home stager. They are the best! read more

My experience with Everything Creative was beyond my expectations. Within a week of contacting them to stage my house for resale, it was on the market and ready to go. We had 4 interested buyers and 2 offers within the first weekend and a "done deal" before the week ended. I couldn't be happier with the service or professionalism of Everything Creative. They can truly bring out ALL the BEST qualities of your home. read more

I recently used Everything Creative to stage a home in Point Loma. Carol and her staff did a beautiful job and were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend! read more

I highly recommend Carol and her team. They staged our somewhat worn townhouse, and made it look great. They got the details right, even (with our permission of course) removing certain items to make the place look better. They are true professionals, and it made a real difference to getting our sale done at the right price. read more

The house looked great when I first walked through! Then I noticed out brazilian walnut solid hardwood floors were scratched from where they dragged furniture. The walls were dinged and dirty. The new door casings were dented/dinged. The leg on our bedroom dresser was broken and poorly repaired, even though I specifically told them to lift, not drag the furniture because it was old. "Oh we will have two movers" is the answer I got. The decorations, carpets, furniture, and even wall art they brought in were dirty. Even the fake plant they brought in had paint on it. Imagine spending years remodeling your home, then a month literally examining every square inch to make sure the walls, baseboards, moldings, and doors were perfect. Only to find the company you paid thousands to stage it treated your property like garbage. We were heart broken to see the damage to our home. Then over the next few days I found 4 nails on the floor, nails they used to hang pictures. Thank goodness our cats didn't play with them and we didn't step on them. They will have an answer for everything but will do the bare minimum. In the end I moved all their furniture to the garage myself because I didn't want them doing any more damage when they collected it. After they left I found two huge dings in the floor from where they dropped a book end but I could not prove it was them. The damage was new and severe, thankfully I was able to get it repaired. If you don't care about your home these people will make it look good. If you do care about it, don't let them in the door! They will treat it with blatant disregard and make you want to cry. ON TOP OF THAT they charged a ridiculous 3% surcharge for using a credit cars and NEVER mentioned it. We noticed it on the bill and called them on it and they waived it but I wonder how many people are sucked into paying it... Actions speak louder than words and these people have all the answers but it's just words.... read more

Whitney Parrott staged our brand new apartment building in University Heights called Exotic Gardens. Exotic Gardens is a VERY detailed, design forward project and therefore the staging needed to take careful consideration of its context. Whitney was able to capture the essence of the neighborhood that the project sought to encompass. She also designed each unit in a manner that paid attention to the subtleties of the individual spaces and the unique locations of each unit within the building. I was absolutely blown away by the amount of thought and passion that Whitney put into the project. It was clear that everything from the main furniture pieces to the table accessories were carefully considered. In a world of repetitive design, Whitney has found a way to bring a fresh approach to what she does. It was a pleasure working with someone that takes such pride in what they do and I look forward to working with Whitney and ECD in the future. read more

We had just moved to San Diego and with it, all the stresses that come with a big move. For us - it was from Texas. Quite simply there was stress all around, and a large part of it revolving around our new house not feeling like home. Long story cut short, we hired Carol and her team, and the change has been transformative. Seriously. You probably read these Yelp reviews and give some of them a grain of salt credibility. All I can say is that if you're in need of any of the services Carol and her team provide, you're seriously crazy to not speak to her and at least find out if she's a good match for your needs. Our family has not only been ecstatic with the changes to our home but equally important is how much we've enjoyed their presence and how much like family they've become in such a short time. Carol and her team earn my highest recommendation. Her fees are a fraction of the value she has provided to our family. Thank you Carol! read more

DO NOT use this company. The staging was a disaster. Everything Creative was suppose to come and make my home look amazing and instead they damaged my hardwood floors, broke numerous items and put holes everywhere in my house. They crammed all of my stuff from the house into my garages without respect for my things. They broke several items and the oil wall hangings were just shoved together causing creases in the oils. My tapestries were just thrown on top of all the furniture. They did not cover or wrap one item for protection. The owner who I believe is Carol was rude and could have cared less if my things were destroyed. I have taken pictures to prove what I am saying is the truth. I certainly would not recommend this company for staging a home to sell and more importantly I would not recommend this company to design your home. They have ZERO talent. The staging and items used to stage were horrific. There is not enough time to tell you how dreadful this company and Carol are. They certainly need to learn designing skills as well as business etiquette. All I asked her to do for me was to have my floors buffed to help with the damage. I did not ask her to pay for the items they had broken. Carol refused! I wish I would have read the reviews before allowing these bozos into my home. I am not the only home that Carol and her crew destroyed wood floors and refused to take care of the customer. I do not know how she has stayed in business. read more
