Staging WORKS!! Our house sold quickly and over asking. The team was GREAT to work with it. Professional, left the house clean and really made the house shine. So happy our realtors recommended staging. **★★★★★ — HU-761837592, Sept. 2025** > Gwen is a true artist and stellar professional. She came into our 11 townhome new build listings, in Saugerties, without a note book, camera or measuring tape. Her visualization, in under an hour, of a three floor massive project surpassed all of our expectations. Gwen’s pricing is fair, and her end product matched, and enhanced, the level of the product of our builder, who was equally impressed. > Our prospective buyers continuously commented on her eye and how she utilized the space on all three floors. > We are so grateful to have found Nest and look forward to only using Gwen’s company in our future. Compass Real Estate in Greater New York has found a partner! **★★★★★ — HU-94032706, Sept. 2025** > The Nest Design gave Compass Real Estate’s brand new complex of 11 townhomes on the Esopus creek in Saugerties the WOW factor!!! Almost everyone who walked through the Open House said something very similar about the pictures not doing the experience justice. > The combination of the talent from the Nest Design and the quality of the product and of course the view of the Esopus Creek and the Catskill mountains have made for a trifecta that is literally blowing people away. > My favorite compliment comes from the Builders wife who came through the staged model home to give her suggestions and possible changes and couldn’t find one thing to make it different or better. You have impressed our Regional Manager at Compass and our clients and we couldn’t be more grateful for your astonishing work!!! > You’re a star, thank you. **★★★★★ — HU-216758189, Sept. 2025** > Working with Gwen was an incredible experience. During my initial consultation, I knew this was the stager for me. > Gwen transformed my empty home (I had already moved) into a bright, cheerful, welcoming and impeccably styled space. The potential buyers raved. > Gwen’s professionalism, attention to detail and ease of communication made all the difference throughout the staging process. Staging a home can be daunting, I am grateful that I got to work with Gwen, as she eased this part of the home selling process. I believe the staging was key to me selling my home quickly! > Thank you Gwen. **★★★★★ — HU-411554423, Sept. 2025** > I’ve worked with Nest Design on numerous projects. Gwen has a great eye for design and space. Her pieces, both modern and vintage help give people a glimpse at the home’s possibilities. Her team is extremely professional and take great care when moving the furniture in and out. I would highly recommend Nest Design for any staging needs. **★★★★★ — Doug Grunther, April 2025** > Excellent staging, directly responsible for a full price offer. A true professional...I strongly recommend this service to enhance the sale of any unfurnished property. **★★★★★ — katysans, March 2025** > Gwen is amazing! She worked quickly and her staging far exceeded my expectations! No details were missed and we received an offer the following week! **★★★★★ — HU-548370008, Dec. 2024** > Gwen is a true professional with an artistic background, this shines through in her diligence and her amazing style. As a Project Manager for a Real Estate Development Firm, working with Gwen/Nest Design and having her style and stage properties before they hit the market- puts ahead of the game. Her final touches are marvelous and we plan on continuing our partnership for many more projects. **★★★★★ — HU-197833856, Dec. 2024** > I’ve partnered with Gwen on numerous properties across various price points, and her staging always exceeds expectations. She has a great eye for design, creating spaces that feel inviting and highlight each home’s unique features. Her attention to detail and reliability make her a go-to for every listing. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their property! Thank you @ The Nest Design! **★★★★★ — Leslie Foti Drayer, Nov. 2024** > I’ve worked with Gwen multiple times on properties requiring staging, spanning a range of price points from $300,000 to over $1 million. Her work is consistently outstanding. Gwen has an exceptional sense of space and layout, always selecting furnishings that perfectly complement the architecture of each home. Her ability to incorporate vintage and eclectic pieces creates an authentic, lived-in feel that resonates with buyers. She’s reliable, always delivers on time, and has even come through for me in a pinch. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking professional, thoughtful staging that genuinely transforms a property. **★★★★★ — Heather DaSilva, Nov. 2024** > Gwen can do magic with the most obscure spaces. We have worked with her on a number of investment properties and can confidently say that the staging makes the house. We prefer a minimalist design to cater to a wider clientele and she brings in the furniture and accessories to make the house design pop. **★★★★★ — HU-771995970, Feb. 2024** > Gwen pulled off a miracle for us in expertly staging our Stone Ridge weekend house for sale. In a very tough seller's market our home showed perfectly with Gwen's creative touch shining a light on every room and space. Furthermore, Gwen was truly a delight to work with...just a genuinely kind, empathetic and dynamic person. Five Stars and my highest recommendation from a grateful home seller! ## Selected projects - [After Photos](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/after-photos-pj-vj~2957787) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - [Occupied Home Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/occupied-home-staging-pj-vj~879497) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 28 - [Vacant Home Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vacant-home-staging-pj-vj~126535) - Location: Phoenicia, NY - Photos: 44 - Description: This wonderfully maintained craftsman style home was staged and sold with a cash offer within 6 weeks!!!
