She presents in a way that is fun and holds my attention, but most of all is applicable to my business and my goals. If I need help, she's quick to respond to keep me on pace. Audra has her finger on the pulse of interior design and home staging and her knowledge, expertise and delivery style set her apart in a field where there are many choices. I'm thrilled I chose Audra to support my continuing education commitments. **★★★★★ — Jacquelyn Gregory Designs, LLC, Sept. 2023** > I just finished Audra's training course Staging and Re-design and I couldn't be happier that I chose to go with this course. I had spent a lot of time researching other companies and hers just stood out for me and I don't regret it. She provided so much information and knowledge to getting going and running a successful business. She builds your confidence while giving you knowledge. **★★★★★ — Centifolia Design, Jan. 2022** > Audra is a wonderful instructor, engaging and always interesting, Her HSR staging training is second to none! Even though I haven’t quite finished the training - but will in the next 2 weeks - I have already done several jobs including staging a vacant rehabbed house, plus a complete house remodel including all new furnishings. This meant skipping back & forth through the course material to absorb what I needed at the time. It was a bit like drinking from a firehose but I’ve loved every minute of it! I also have Audra’s color certification training so that was a big help! This last year has been a whirlwind to say the least! **★★★★★ — Moss Elfin Designs, Oct. 2021** > I just signed up for Audra's home staging course. > It's unbelievable how educational it is. I'm so excited about it and loving every minute of it. > She is passionate about this work and passes on her extensive knowledge generously. > The course covers design and the business of home staging and re-design. > I already feel the benefit of doing this course and I'm only a few days in. It's like a book you can't put down. > A must for anyone contemplating home staging, color consulting and re-design. > Wish I had done this course years ago. > > Lisa S **Comment from Audra Slinkey:** > Wow and thanks so much! So glad you like it and wait till you get to Week 3. **★★★★★ — Amy Ehret, Sept. 2021** > After much soul searching and researching I confidently chose Audra's Home Staging Resource for my training in home staging and redesign. I'm loving learning at my own pace with all the resources I need right at my fingertips. **★★★★★ — Expat Home Styling, May 2019** > Certified Color Expert course with Audra was in depth and instantly useful. If you love color I would highly recommend this detailed course. **★★★★★ — Maison de Campagne, Oct. 2018** > After researching different Home Staging Certification providers, I decided to use HSR based on the reviews and topics offered and I couldn’t be more please. Even though I had already started on the journey to set up my business, HSR’s comprehensive training has helped in providing me with the confidence and knowledge to successfully run my business and provide Home Staging and Redesign services locally here in Texas. I would encourage anyone else looking to start a Home Staging and Redesign business to seriously consider doing HSR’s course. I look forward to implementing many of Audra’s recommendations to continue my company growth. **★★★★★ — Alicia Adler, July 2018** > I took time to investigate what options were available to me in NZ and abroad for home staging training. I chose HSR over all other options for its comprehensive training topics that I felt would help me to set up my business and equip me with knowledge to successfully provide Home Staging and Redesign services locally here in New Zealand. I have not regretted my choice and would encourage anyone else looking at entering the world of Home Staging to seriously consider doing Audra's course irrespective where you might be situated in the world! **★★★★★ — THE DECOR STYLIST, Jan. 2018** > I have trained with HSR for the staging/redesigner program and the certified color expert training (CCE). I am an interior designer and decided to offer home staging as an additional service to my business. I had researched other training courses and chose HSR for it's compact 21-day training schedule. It was well worth it! Audrey's curriculum is thorough and worth the money. I especially liked her color course in which she gives tons of real paint color tips and suggestions. She also provides many additional/follow up resources. Thanks Audrey for having such pride in establishing a great company! I highly recommend this training. **★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2017** > Audra and her HSR training program have more than exceeded my expectations. I never could have imagined the wealth of information available to me and my new home staging business. I researched for literally months debating which certification program to invest in. Wow - I definitely made the correct choice! Everything is there....forms...webinars...website building...instructional videos and so so so much more. Thank you to Audra for giving me the invaluable knowledge and confidence I needed to push forward with my business venture! **★★★★★ — Simply Put Staging Services, LLC, April 2017** > When I saw what the HSR training program was offering, I could have kicked myself that I didn’t find them sooner, never mind all the money I wasted prior! The HSR Certification program is the complete package. The marketing information and staging forms, the great website design, and the support and forums made a world of difference for me! I feel like I’m running a real business now and not just floundering. The best part is, the continued support! HSR doesn’t go away! I can continue to get updated information and thats what gives me the confidence that my staging business will be successful! **★★★★★ — Elegantly Appointed Homes, LLC, April 2016** > Audra Slinky inspired me to pursue my passion!! And, continues to do so 5 years later through her what I call her "YOU MATTER" approach. Each and every time I have reached out to her for some truly needed advice - she personally answers the phone or email and is truly excited to hear from you! Her on-line training programs (HSR Certification and Certified Color Expert) are outstanding, informative and challenging yet achievable - which I loved! As an HSR graduate, I credit Audra with laying the foundation for my continued success as a respected Home Stager, Redesigner and Color Expert. ## Selected projects - [Before-and-After Photos](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/before-and-after-photos-pj-vj~74916) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Outdoor Living Room and Dining Room Addition - Covered Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-living-room-and-dining-room-addition-covered-patio-pj-vj~2830145) - Location: Encinitas, CA - Photos: 30 - [Office Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/office-remodel-pj-vj~1348760) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Staged Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/staged-home-pj-vj~363358) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 [See all 4 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-stagers/audra-slinkey-pfvwus-pf~1887508551) ## Ideabooks - [Cardiff Condo](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/141590561/list/cardiff-condo) — 29 ideas - [Edesign Inspiration](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/94736585/list/edesign-inspiration) — 34 ideas - [Wine Cellar](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/79375477/list/wine-cellar) — 56 ideas - [bar addition](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/73095427/list/bar-addition) — 11 ideas - [santa barbara style](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/72422628/list/santa-barbara-style) — 17 ideas - [exterior ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/66652978/list/exterior-ideas) — 28 ideas - [higher molding](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/51739857/list/higher-molding) — 31 ideas - [SW 7017 Dorian Gray](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/39362927/list/sw-7017-dorian-gray) — 1 idea - [SW 6477 Tidewater](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33635554/list/sw-6477-tidewater) — 15 ideas - [SW 7005 Pure White](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33584527/list/sw-7005-pure-white) — 2 ideas - [SW 7015 Repose Gray](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/35019079/list/sw-7015-repose-gray) — 27 ideas - [SW 7016 Mindful Gray](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33586329/list/sw-7016-mindful-gray) — 51 ideas - [SW 7029 Agreeable Gray](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33636471/list/sw-7029-agreeable-gray) — 14 ideas - [Living Areas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/19106309/list/living-areas) — 55 ideas - [Dining Inspirations](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/18883236/list/dining-inspirations) — 16 ideas - [Outdoor ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/715022/list/outdoor-ideas) — 198 ideas - [When White Works](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/19975297/list/when-white-works) — 12 ideas - [audraslinkey's Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/15513472/list/audraslinkey-s-ideas) — 8 ideas - [What Doesn't Work](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/20023031/list/what-doesn-t-work) — 37 ideas - [Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/771484/list/kitchen) — 22 ideas [See all 52 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/audraslinkey) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
