I have hired 1st Stage for multiple properties over the years. In the past, they generally did…read moregreat work and I was impressed with their staging style, professionalism, availability, and pricing. That said, my most recent experience was disappointing. I had them stage a modern townhouse in Costa Mesa near the beach. Unfortunately, the staging style they chose did not match the aesthetic of the property at all. I am not a designer, so I typically trust their vision and let them take the lead. This time, I reached out to their team and simply asked if we could swap out a few items to make the space feel more modern or beachy. I was told I would need to pay a restocking fee. That response was frustrating. I had referred them many jobs and clients in the past, and while the fee itself was not a large amount, it felt unnecessary and left a bad impression. They did eventually waive the fee, which I appreciated, but the situation already felt mishandled. Fast forward a bit. The property did not sell, and I requested that it be de-staged. Their team came out a few days later and removed the furniture. A few months after that, they emailed both me and my client, who was the actual party to the staging contract, claiming there was a prorated balance due for a few extra days the furniture remained in the home. The amount was under $400. The contract was between my client and 1st Stage, not me, so I was confused as to why I was included. Shortly after, Mark Sutton emailed me directly asking if I could take care of the payment by the next day. I found that extremely unprofessional. Agents are the ones who bring them business, and asking me to personally pay an invoice that had nothing to do with me showed a real lack of business judgment. I expressed my disappointment with their customer service, and the only response I received was a payment link. If you are looking for a stager who truly feels like a partner and values long-term relationships, I would think twice before using this company. In my experience, once an issue arises, you are treated like just another number, and preserving relationships does not seem to be a priority.

What an amazing experience we had with Janice and the entire team! Not only are they creative, hard…read moreworking, and professional, but they have the most beautiful and quality items! You can put your complete trust that they will stage your house to perfection so that it will look great for the photos and the tours!! Our home went into escrow 4 days after listing and we received $100,000 over asking price! The 1st stage service is a great value and will pay off tremendously in the end.

I had an outstanding experience working with Lindsay Allen Design for home staging in Temecula…read more Lindsay and her team delivered a beautifully staged property that truly elevated the entire presentation for listing photos and marketing. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to highlight the home's best features and appeal to today's buyers. As a real estate professional, timelines and budgets are critical--and Lindsay Allen Design exceeded expectations on both. The project was completed on time, within budget, and with a level of quality that made a noticeable impact on the overall look and feel of the home. If you're looking for professional home staging in Temecula that enhances your listing, attracts more buyers, and helps your property stand out online, I highly recommend Lindsay Allen Design. I will absolutely be using her services again for future listings.

My husband and I did not want to know the gender of our baby until the baby was born but I wanted a gender specific nursery done. I reached out to Lindsey and without hesitation and excitement she was ready to work with me!

She was quick to respond and listened to my design ideas. She made my visions come to life. Our baby girl nursery is everything and more I could've imagined. It's beautiful. I couldn't have done this without you!! We can't wait to work with Lindsey again. Thank you Lindsey, you are truly talented in what you do!

Kristen is the best designer I've met. She pays attention to the small details, has great supplier…read moreand contractor contacts, keeps a light positive attitude throughout the entire experience, follows up regularly, quick to respond to texts or emails, and is just an overall great support during the remodel. We ended up remodeling our entire house, taking out walls, new kitchen, 3 new bathrooms, new floors, paint, closets, replaced doors to 8' solid wood doors, and Pinkys Iron Door french doors to the office. I mean honestly, our house looks totally different inside, all brand new. All of the finishes and touches flow perfectly together making the house feel airy and light. I think Kristen's pricing is a bargain for the service and involvement she gives. Having her help with the remodel reduced our stress levels by 1000% by helping us find the finishing items and make decisions that we'd get stuck on. She has a great eye for this stuff, and you will not regret hiring Kristen. I'll update my posting with more pictures soon, still need to get some art on the walls and wrap up a few minor things.

I needed to make updates throughout the house from floors, painting, living room and bathroom remodel. She not only had great design ideas but always incorporated feedback to come back with an even more spectacular design.

Everyone that comes over is so impressed!

After moving from Orange County to Fallbrook I really wanted to find someone local to help with our…read morebathroom remodel. I did some research, found Terra through Google and Instagram, and after looking through her work I could already tell our styles were really similar. We set up a phone call and honestly I felt like we clicked immediately. It felt like talking to a friend and I think that matters more than people realize. I have worked with designers before and walked away disappointed. Even my contractor Randy said he felt the same way and didn't have a lot of confidence in what most designers actually bring to the table. Terra completely changed that for both of us. She was easy to talk to, sweet, confident, and had a bold personality and I mean that in the best way. She was assertive and when it came to getting something done she got it done. No runaround, no back and forth, she just handled it. She also made great recommendations for third party companies including the local custom cabinetry company we ended up using and a closet company that was also fantastic to work with. What I also really appreciated was that she never dominated the relationship. I have seen that happen with designers where you feel like your own vision gets lost. Terra worked with me the way I wanted to be worked with. She kept me on budget, brought ideas I never would have thought of on my own, and the bathroom we ended up with is honestly more beautiful than I could have imagined. I am so glad she was basically the first person I connected with after moving to Fallbrook. She felt like my first local friend. If you are in the area and looking for a designer with incredible style, a great network, and the skill to actually bring it all together look no further than Terra. I cannot recommend her enough.

Finally! I am excited to share my review of Tarra after a long remodel finally has come to…read morecompletion. I don't think I have enough space to express in words what a wonderful woman and decorator Tarra is. Being kind, patient, knowledgeable, understanding and creative are some characteristics needed when working with clients in the emotional business of home decorating. Tarra encompasses every one of those and more. One of the most important attributes I was looking for in a decorator prior to starting a large remodel was someone who would not push their own tastes on me and would value what was important to me while also providing the style and look I wanted. Again, Tarra is exactly that and is why I feel we worked so well together. Another part that I found amazing was her vision to see an outcome that was totally different than my original look, and it came out perfectly! Her taste is flawless! Besides the undeniable talent and creativity, I would like to speak specifically to her patience and professionalism. I found it very difficult to decide on pretty much anything during the remodel and needed her handholding every step of the way. She did so without fail and was consistent and patient throughout the entire process. She gave more than 100% each and every time, always responding to my texts and making herself available to me even for a quick thumbs up on a picture. Tarra was the most instrumental piece in the phenomenal outcome of our newly remodeled and upgraded home. If you want a customized designed project for an expert, you should definitely choose Tarra, she is truly the BEST!

Hiring Tarra was without question one of our best decisions throughout this entire process as she merged our ideas with her expertise and unique flair.

Tarra addressed all of our needs to include, but not limited to: design layout, construction alternatives, lighting needs, painting/color needs, furniture selection throughout, cabinet style/stains/paint, flooring alternatives, etc. She was amazing to work and collaborate with throughout the entire process, and when complete had transformed our single-story ranch style home just as we had envisioned. In addition to being patient and listening well to our wants and needs, Tarra was extremely accommodating, made the selection of materials very easy and in the end blended comfort and style that suits our lifestyle perfectly.

We learned the hard way and were blind sided by the owner, Michael. We asked for a certain budget and found out through our meeting he was indeed 8k over and never told us anything until we asked about it.

I attempted to resolve the issue with Michael by just requesting a partial refund of the initial deposit, due to the misleading information and lackluster performance. However, he was so professional, where he actually chose to ignore my message and ran off with my money. Overall, I do not recommend this business.

[Parking]: The garden has a small private parking lot and there were still few parking spots available at 2:30 PM on Saturday. [Bunny Encounters & Price]: Our party booked a 30-minute bunny session ahead of our visit. For reservations, they offer a 20-minute session for $22 per person or a 30-minute session for $25 per person. Walk-ins are welcome as space allows. Reservations are recommended on weekends. [Bunny Experience]: The garden has one window counter for ordering coffee drinks and another counter for bunny sessions. Our party arrived on time, waited in line, and ended up 5 minutes late to our scheduled session. The staff instructed us not to pick up the bunnies and our party had to wear shoe covers before entering the pens. During the session, our party was able to ask the staff as many leaves as we want. Personally, I found the experience a bit underwhelming because (1) I was only able to get the bunnies' attention with leaves and (2) since visitors can't pick up the bunnies, the only activities our party could do were feeding them and watching them eat leaves. There is also a small house with baby bunnies. [Menu]: After the bunny session was over, our party walked up to the window counter and ordered coffee drinks. The top highlighted drinks include The Gardener and The Florist (ceremonial unsweetened organic matcha with rose). Iced drinks 16 oz only. They also sell pizza here. *** The Gardener (organic espresso with honey, lavender, and vanilla - iced 16 oz - $7.50): The drink tasted a bit sweeter than I would have preferred. *** The garden has a good first-date vibe, but personally this is a one-and-done spo. I was disappointed that visitors can't pick up the bunnies even if they hop onto your lap. I recommend sticking with the 20-minute session rather than the 30-minute session for the feeding and petting experience. Also the coffee drink I had was mediocre at best.
