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.

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!!

We hired Kathleen to transform our garage into a small ADU, and we truly couldn't be happier with…read morethe outcome! Kathleen is a mastermind at what she does and really values quality and attention to detail. Working with such a small space was no easy task, but she had a solution for everything. Throughout the entire process, she offered thoughtful advice and creative ideas that helped us make the most of every inch. She made what could have been an overwhelming project feel so much easier. The finished space is not only beautiful, but incredibly functional. Everyone who has seen the unit is amazed by the design and attention to detail, and we constantly get compliments on how well the space was utilized. Kathleen was also wonderful to communicate with throughout the entire process. We felt heard, supported, and confident in her recommendations from beginning to end. We are so pleased with our ADU and would choose to work with her 1,000 times over. We cannot recommend her enough!

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!

When no one arrived, I texted at 11:15 AM to see if she was on her way. She responded, first saying she assumed I wasn't able to meet. Later, she explained she had a severe migraine and had gone to urgent care. I completely understand that medical emergencies happen. What I don't understand is why I wasn't notified before the appointment. We already had a scheduled appointment, so I was disappointed that no one reached out to let me know she wouldn't be able to make it. Instead, I waited without any communication. I also reached out to the company at 11:15 AM, but four days later I still had not received any follow up. I was ready to move forward with designing three closets, but the lack of communication from both the designer and the company did not give me confidence to trust the process

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.
