**★★★★★ — Dorothy Hafner, April 2017**

> David Tisdale was fantastic to work with, very creative and clever but not overbearing with his own design ideas.  He showed a keen eye for displaying my many objects and artworks in new and fresh ways so that I was able to keep my overall cost within budget.

**Comment from David Tisdale Design:**

> Thank you Dorothy! I so enjoyed working with you and your amazing artwork.
> Best, David

**★★★★★ — Julie Carney, April 2017**

> David was a joy to work with. He stepped into a last minute situation with a high-end client who was a bit stressed with the final staging process before putting her house on the market. He shopped with her, helped her make good choices within her budget and then placed items and reworked what she had in time for the photography shoot. She was thrilled, and so was I! The house looked beautiful. Highly recommend David.

**Comment from David Tisdale Design:**

> Thank you very much Julie for your wonderful recommendation! I so appreciate your support!

**★★★★★ — Paula Meyer, April 2017**

> My house was for sale for more than 9 months with traffic but no offers.  My agent suggested staging a few rooms and I hired David to help me incorporate some of my furniture with new pieces that would update the listing.  What a difference the staging made!
> David is a pleasure to work with--  he is professional, is always considerate of my time and my budget, and has a 'great eye'/  He transformed my empty rooms into warm and inviting spaces.
> I highly recommend David without reservation....and I sold my house a few weeks after he completed the job!

**Comment from David Tisdale Design:**

> Thank you Paula! It was a pleasure working with you and we achieved great results!
> I so appreciate your recommendation!

**★★★★★ — Teale Stevens, July 2016**

> I have worked with David Tisdale and utilized his staging services in order to prepare numerous properties for sale.  His staging expertise is right on target!  He knows just what to edit, as well as how to arrange furniture, artwork and decorative objects to make the property look clean, fresh, uncluttered and attractive to potential buyers.  His advice and staging talent have contributed to quicker sales and higher selling prices.  A number of my clients sold their homes in two weeks or less after David performed his “staging magic” on them.  I highly recommend his services.

**Comment from David Tisdale Design:**

> Thanks so much Teale! It is always a pleasure working with you, and I look forward to doing so in the near future! Best, David
