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.

We worked with Kathleen Ann Designs to renovate our guest bathroom in February 2023. It was an…read moreabsolute privilege and we couldn't be more happy with the end result, and how her vision came to life through the renovation. We wholeheartedly recommend Kathleen Ann Designs for anyone seeking an exceptional interior designer! From the outset, Kathy (owner and operator of Kathleen Ann Designs) displayed an extraordinary level of understanding and collaboration. She truly grasped our vision, goals, preferences, time constraints, and budget, and throughout the process, she delivered on every aspect with utmost dedication. Kathy's hands-on approach, combined with her innovative ideas and fresh perspective, resulted in a modern, tasteful, luxurious, and open design for our guest bathroom - a remarkable transformation from its previous state. Our small guest bathroom now stands as a fabulous and relaxing retreat for our guests, all accomplished within budget and directly aligned with our design aesthetics. We could not have dreamed the end result would come out as exceptional as it did, and that is thanks to Kathy's extraordinary vision and design ideas. When working with Kathy, you have a few different packages you can select from ranging from basic consultation to full design and even coordination with the contractor. Opting for the full package, which included project management and coordination with EDW Construction (a company that Kathy works with frequently on many of her projects), proved to be a very wise decision, and well worth the minor additional expense. Kathy skillfully managed the entire renovation, ensuring timely deliveries, meticulous inspections, and seamless coordination with the contractor, resulting in exceptional results within the agreed timeframe and budget. One thing that really distinguish Kathy from other companies we looked at is that she really listened, and she really cared. We weren't just another project for her. She was just as excited as we were as the transformation of our guest bathroom progressed. Kathy is an expert communicator listener, and brings fresh perspective and fabulous design and attention to detail. There is not one oversight under her watch in the end result is exceptional. We are thrilled with the overall experience of working with Kathleen Ann Designs and eagerly anticipate our next renovation where we can partner with Kathy again for another marvelous transformation. We would highly recommend Kathy/Kathleen Ann Designs to anyone interested in transforming their space through exceptional design. No

Needless to say our yard needed a lot of work. Troy put together a very unique plan for our yard incorporating some of what was already there and at the same time changing a number of items. Troy produced a drawing of our front yard and our backyard and what he envisioned should be the design of our completed yard. Along with Troy's help, Karen and I did a lot of the labor ourselves. The work went on for a couple of years. In the end, our yard was featured in an issue of the Phoenix Home and Garden magazine. Karen and I were excited about the finished product. Since the article in the magazine, we have used Troy to assist us with additional work on the yard. He comes to Phoenix approximately monthly and will answer any questions we have. Karen and I would highly recommend his services to anybody that wants to have a very nice yard.

Micaiah is the best investment we made in remodeling our home. We found Micaiah at an open house…read moreand his design really spoke to me and my husband. We are minimalists but with nice tastes, and Micaiah designed our home to just that. My husband and I are not rich people, so he made renderings that are to be either used right away, or done at a later date to help spread our money out. He not only does the design and renderings, but he helped us find our floor guy (and we love our floors!), furniture, shades, paint, etc. He knew we are on a budget, so he worked with our budget to find things that are affordable and sustainable. Our home is still coming together as we are spreading our money out, but once it is 80% finished, I will definitely post photos. Micaiah is so easy to work with and I highly recommend him!

Laura did not disappoint. We now have a gorgeous kitchen that functions better and that we are proud to show off to friends and family. Every element goes together beautifully; the granite counters are gorgeous, the modern sink and faucet are a joy to use, the painted cabinets look like new and we wonder why we didn't utilize hardware on the cabinets long ago. The backsplash is beautiful and sparkly. The old-fashioned florescent ceiling is replaced by modern can lights. Creative battery operated under-cabinet lighting is budget friendly. The artistic pendant light matches well with the hardware and new appliances. All the craftsman Laura contracted with did a great job and the one issue we had related to the granite was resolved to our satisfaction. She was there to oversee the work during all stages. We even trusted her to run everything while we took a 2 week vacation. That actually is a great way to do it. Pre-plan everything with Laura and go on an extended vacation. Ask Laura about how that could work. It may work out perfectly and your remodel is complete when you return. Even if it takes longer, at least it's less time you've had to live through a remodel. We highly recommend Laura at Serenite Interiors. She'll make your living spaces serene:-)

It did not take long to see that Laura really listened to what I wanted so she could design a house I would love. Initially, I had trouble releasing control but that never bothered Laura. She worked with me and made sure I was comfortable through the whole project. Looking back, I wished I had taken advantages of all of her amazing ideas and suggestions instead of holding back due to my own fears. Since working with her on that house, Laura has worked on 3 other homes for me and I cannot imagine designing or decorating another house without her in my corner. She is one of the best in the industry. She has a natural eye for design, an extremely workable personality and the ability to professionally design per your specification and desires without imposing her likes and dislikes on your project. Personally, I think she's brilliant. If you want a house that you love coming home to, then let me encourage to contact Laura and consider her for your next project.
