Her sense of space helps her create a beautiful synthesis of modern comfort and timeless pieces that match the home she stages. Really gives a feeling of 'Home'. So wonderful photographing her work. Can't wait for the next project! **Comment from Chrysalis Creative Home Staging:** > Thank you so much! I always know our work will be shown beautifully when our realtors work with you! **★★★★★ — Alison P, May 2020** > We hired Chrysalis to stage our home in Calgary. Given the economic downturn we wanted to give our home the best shot at selling. Ellen's team did a beautiful job designing spaces that were so beautiful, we wanted to move back in! > > The house listed and initially sold within three days! Days later COVID-19 changed everything and our buyer backed out and we pulled the listing. Chrysalis offered to keep the staging in place at no cost; what a gift! When we saw the market warm up, we re-listed in May and this time, it sold within a day. > > Chrysalis is highly-professional, has a timeless and tasteful inventory to work from and was very careful when inside our home. Looking back, Chrysalis saved us money by helping our listing to move quickly even in the midst of a poor economy and a global pandemic! **★★★★★ — Brenton Betts, May 2020** > Ellen and her team were so efficient with the staging and I am sure helped with the quick sale of our home. In the height of covid world they were very professional and easy to work with which certainly helped in the high stress world that we were in that took one more thing off our list of things to do. Highly recommend!! **★★★★★ — HU-490558801, May 2019** > Ellen came to our house and gave us advice on how to stage it for potential buyers. We went from room to room and Ellen gave us some great ideas on how to make each room appealing to potential buyers. She was very professional and helpful and she had some great ideas that helped us to sell our house within a week, despite the market situation. In fact, we had an offer after not even 24hrs on the market. We can only recommend her. Thank you so much for your help, Ellen! **★★★★★ — Linda Browning, March 2019** > I recently had the distinct pleasure of working with Ellen as she staged my home prior to listing. > She is very personable, professional & knowledgeable as to how & why she stages your home the way she does. > Ellen is truly talented & gifted! I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again or to recommend her to anyone & everyone. **★★★★★ — Denise Hearn, Sept. 2018** > I had a great experience with Ellen from Chrysalis Home Staging, selling my home in Calgary. Ellen did a phenomenal job decorating my place with just the right amount of furniture and accessories to accentuate my home. I was initially unsure if staging was worth the cost, but my home sold within a few weeks of listing (rare in our market), and I'm convinced that the excellent job Chrysalis did was an integral part of the sale. > I would highly recommend their services to others looking for great home staging! **★★★★★ — Remi Korent, Sept. 2018** > Ellen recently consulted with me before I sold my house. I knew it was a tough market and that I would need an edge if I wanted to stand out among the competition. We went through my house room by room and squeezed out every ounce of marketability to give me a comprehensive plan to highlight all the most profitable features of my house. My house then sold in 2 days! A true testament to proper planning and the fountain of knowledge that Ellen is! **★★★★★ — Leanne Colborne, Sept. 2018** > It was a pleasure working with Ellen & the rest of the crew from Chrysalis Creative Home Staging. I received a response from Ellen within hours of requesting her services. She understood my needs & worked within my budget to execute a beautifully staged home. In addition to her timely reply, I also geatly appreciated her punctuality, level of communication, and overall genuine, pleasant demeanor. I am pleased to say that our home sold in under half of the average DOM! It says something about her work when the buyer's wanted the furnishings to be included in the purchase price! Thanks for everything, Ellen. **Comment from Chrysalis Creative Home Staging:** > Thanks so much for the review, Leanne! It was an absolute pleasure dealing with you from install to removal. **★★★★★ — Stacey Rivett, Sept. 2018** > From our first meeting it was clear that Ellen was both professional and very knowledgable. Initially it was her background in buyer behaviour along with her extensive knowledge of staging to sell that convinced us that Chrysalis was the right fit for us. We were not disappointed. > Aspen Creek Designer Homes had the pleasure of working with Ellen and her team on two inner city projects, both of which had their own distinct style. Ellen was able to see each unit through a very different buyers eyes, and staged each perfectly. Her keen eye for detail ensured that each space was beautifully appointed, and photographed extremely well. Their team were respectful of the property and took the utmost care in moving furniture in and out. We were very happy with the overall experience and would (and have) happily recommend Chrysalis Creative Home Staging. **Comment from Chrysalis Creative Home Staging:** > Stacey you made it so easy to do our job! Thank you for giving us the privilege of staging your beautiful duplex. **★★★★★ — Natalia Kondratenko, Sept. 2018** > We had our house on a market for 10 months with two different realtors. We knew we needed help. We invited Ellen for a consultation. Ellen did a walk through and gave us suggestions on improvements to attract potential buyers. We decided to stage our house with her. Needless to say, our house looked completely different after staging. It was brighter, lighter and beautiful. After staging and all the improvements done, the house was sold within 20 days. Incredible work by Ellen and her team! Ellen was professional, easy to talk to, attentive to details. She was a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Ellen for staging services or a professional advice on making your house attractive and sold. The only regret we have that we didn't hire Ellen sooner. **Comment from Chrysalis Creative Home Staging:** > Thank you so much Natalia! It was a privilege working with you! **★★★★★ — Margo Galvon, Sept. 2018** > Ellen was extremely easy and enjoyable to work with. Our home was listed Thursday afternoon and we had a conditional sale by Sunday afternoon. Amazing in the current market! Comments from the Open House as well as showings all remarked positively on the staging and how fantastic the home showed. We also used Ellen's colour consultant expertise when refreshing some aspects of our home prior to to listing and it made such an amazing difference in highlighting the property. > I will use her again! **Comment from Chrysalis Creative Home Staging:** > Thank you Margo! The house was beautiful, and was a dream to stage. Thank you for putting your trust in me. **★★★★★ — Michael Luong, Aug. 2018** > Amazing! That is how I would describe Ellen. When she was making recommendations, it felt like she really cared. She not only helped us stage our current house, but she kept in mind our new house as well. Her attention to detail and tips to enhance a room was simply incredible. After taking her advice, our friends and family could not believe that it was the same home! As soon as the listing went live, had 4 showings right out of the gate. Ultimately led to offers within the first 2 weeks. We HIGHLY recommend Ellen!! Even throughout the purchasing process, we would send her pictures of what we thought may work and she gave her opinions. Thank you Ellen for helping us and making this a fun process. ## Selected projects - [Coastal View](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-view-pj-vj~7930146) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Before and After Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/before-and-after-renovation-pj-vj~3134865) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - [Aspen Show Suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/aspen-show-suite-pj-vj~4754416) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Urban Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/urban-condo-pj-vj~5562391) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Two Storey](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/two-storey-pj-vj~5562404) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Contemporary Vacant Home Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-vacant-home-staging-pj-vj~6272688) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Evanston Reno](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/evanston-reno-pj-vj~2984061) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 11 - [Beltline Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beltline-condo-pj-vj~2628482) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 7 - [Spruce Cliff Penthouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spruce-cliff-penthouse-pj-vj~2741037) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 36 - [Mahogany Estate Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mahogany-estate-home-pj-vj~2677883) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 13 [See all 10 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-stagers/chrysalis-creative-home-staging-pfvwus-pf~1830434961) ## Ideabooks - [DIY Art](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/77581007/list/diy-art) — 9 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/ellen-mann) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
