Barbara has been just exceptional and invaluable in helping and guiding me with my new construction home project right outside of Boston. Her taste is exceptional and she’s been able to “figure out” my style, while at once guiding and pushing me to explore new and modern things. It’s clear that she brings a vast amount of varied experience to the table in virtually all parts of building and remodeling homes. She also has incredible attention to detail on such things as colors, hardware, placement and selection of lighting, room layout, flooring, and all the finer and critical aspects of building and staging a home. She is extremely responsive, easy to work with and a whole lot of fun. She’s made my project enjoyable. I couldn’t do it without her.

Barb was absolutely fantastic to work with on my interior remodel project. From the first day she entered my house she provided me with so many different ways to think about my living space and enjoy it to its fullest. I loved how she listened to what I was looking for and asked questions about how my family and I used each room in our house. Her proposed ideas always prioritized what she heard was most important for our needs. Barb also has amazing resources that were always high quality and many didn't break the budget. I highly recommend working with Barb on your next project!

I worked with Barb on a complete home redesign after a house fire. I truly, honestly couldn't have done it without her. The vast majority of our work was done remotely and leveraging shared photos and ideas with our houzz book. Barb kept me on track with creating an updated new home in an 1888 victorian. I couldn't be happier with the results, the recommendations, and the friendship we developed along the way. I have referred Barb to many good friends and would not hesitate to collaborate with her again.

My husband and I are working with Barbara to prepare and stage our condominium to sell this Spring. Barbara is absolutely wonderful and has creativity and vision that has transformed the condominium into a stunning home. We are wholeheartedly delighted with her results!

Thank you Mary Lou for your kind words and for taking the time to post a review. It is my goal to help prepare homes for sale and make them look their very best and that can only happen when clients put their faith in me. Grateful for the opportunity and very much looking forward to completing this project!

The moment Barbara stepped into my home, you could sense she was a total professional and super passionate about her work. Barb has incredible attention to detail and high quality furniture. She moved furniture with care and respect to our timber floor, and styled our home with the most perfect pieces. Yet still kept the personality of our family within the home. We have had an excellent experience and would only commission Barb in the future.

What an amazing experience working with Barbara on our new house build. Having Barbara there to guide us through the selection process has taken away the stress in what can be overwhelming at times. Honestly,I don’t know how we could accomplish this without her assistance !

Barb staged our home before we put it on the market. She styled it in a way that made it approachable and appealing to the vast majority. Our house ended up selling for 100k over asking!

I hired Simply Staged Home on a couple different occasions. Most recently I purchased a home that was very outdated. Barbara came to my home, took several pictures and notes, returned about a week later with paint samples, flooring recommendations, lighting ideas, window treatment quotes, cabinet / counter top selections and furniture layouts. I gave Barbara a budget to work with and agreed to put everything in her hands as I was overly impressed with her knowledge and design experience. She price shopped all materials and provided me with receipts for everything she purchased. Within 30 days I my home was transformed into a more modern home that we just love.

We first met Barb when she helped us stage our home for sale on the recommendation of our realtor. She was efficient, responsive and professional in making changes that transformed our home within a week. We then hired her to help us decorate our new home. She's personable and easy to work with, and I would highly recommend her. I I was impressed with how quickly she provided us with ways to upgrade the look of our new home, saving us hours of time with her expertise.

I highly recommend that you utilize Barbara’s services if you are considering selling your home. Most of the work was done by E-Design which was so convenient. Barbara is absolutely amazing at her job!! Barbara had our home looking updated and refreshed and ready for our open house in no time. We received two offers over asking price within 24 hours of our first showing. I’m so glad I hired A Simply Staged Home!

I can't say enough about working with Barb/A Simply Staged Home to get our house ready for market! I thought our home was close to "staged," then Barb came in and performed magic. Using our existing furniture and artwork, she rearranged, tweaked and "zhuzhed" to perfection. We had multiple offers within days of our house being listed! Barb is both efficient and collaborative, and her enthusiasm and energy are infectious. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and will hire her again!!!

I am a real esate agent specializing in Wellesley and surrounding towns and wouldn't think of putting a house on the market without using Barbara. Every home that I have had staged with her has sold faster and for more money (often with multiple offers). Barbara has become an essential element in my business and I incorporate her services into every listing where staging is required. She has a keen eye, she is honest and she will roll up her sleeves and get the job done like noone else! Hire her-you will be glad you did!

Comment from A Simply Staged Home:

Stephanie, I always truly enjoy working with you for so many reasons, the top of this list however, is the pure and simple fact that you are a consummate professional who always puts the needs of your client first and are continually looking out for their best interests! Fortunately for me, this happens to mean that you are willing to take all the necessary steps required to SELL a property in today's market and that sometimes means staging! How lucky for me that our paths crossed...in fact, I trust Stephanie so much, she is selling my own home!
