Linda is a true artist when it comes to creating a stylish, yet warm environment that sells my listings! If you are looking for cookie-cutter staging with furniture that you see everywhere else, look elsewhere. Linda provides a custom look for each home at a reasonable price.

Comment from StudioBARON Design + Staging:

Julie, Thanks for your kind words. I am glad you find value in what we do. We try always to highlight each property’s unique attributes, so we deliver a more custom, elevated design in our staging work. It has been a pleasure developing a professional working relationship with you this year. You are a consummate professional, and I look forward to staging more of your listings in 2019.

Bob & Pat Ravasio Real Estate of Coldwell Banker

Linda and her associates did a great staging job for us. It was a 1923 cottage in fairly original condition, but Linda’s appreciation for the vintage lines and craftsmanship of the home was apparent in her vintage staging. It was fun, low key, high quality and best of all, I’m sure the house sold for top dollar because of Linda’s great eye and top quality decorative items.

Comment from StudioBARON Design + Staging:

Pat and Bob Ravasio: Thanks for your kind words above about working with us. It was a dream project for sure! I fell hard for this sweet vintage bungalow, and really did have a blast furnishing it for you. It was an honor to work with Ravasio Real Estate! I am grateful to you for tasking STUDIOBARON with this gem, and for trusting us to work our magic.... Extra perk: Neighbors came out of the woodwork to check it out, and tell us their own stories about the property, and one of them, I believe, became the buyer!

Ashley Bewick

Linda did an absolutely incredible job on our house! It was amazing to see the transformation and the difference a well decorated house makes. Her team was efficient and professional and worked under very tight timelines. I would definitely recommend Linda and will be using her to do our next house!

Comment from StudioBARON Design + Staging:

Ashley, you have a beautiful home, and it was a pleasure to stage it for you. Thank you for such kind words about my team. They rock! Could not have done it without them. And, when you are ready, cannot wait to dive in on your stunning new property in Sonoma!

ELIZABETH M

Linda is a marvel. She walked into my modest little condo and within 30 minutes, laid out a plan that was utterly inspiring, but still within my budget. It would have taken me years to figure out what she was able to visualize within minutes.... like knocking out one cabinet could bring in tons of natural light with an unobstructed view of the garden. Linda also took the time to educate me about using quality materials as well as where to splurge vs. where to be frugal. I have to say Linda was not only the brilliant designer of my remodel, but my biggest cheerleader. I am so grateful to her for elevating my space beyond my wildest expectations.

Linda at StudioBaron Design will be your greatest creative ally! Gifted with a beautiful visual aesthetic and poetic attention to detail, Linda is an incredibly creative problem solver with a great eye for sumptuous color, texture, and design. Resourceful, inventive, and mindful of my budget, she elegantly transformed my guest apartment into a warm, inviting space.

Comment from StudioBARON Design + Staging:

Thank you so much. Being appreciated for what we do just never gets old... It was such fun helping you repurpose your space as an AirBnB, and helping you uncover a little extra pocket change! Change is good. Especially combined with collaborative creative energy

Florence Livingston Interiors, LLC

Linda is a creative force with a lovely sense of design, unique aesthetic and clear vision. As a colleague and industry peer, I value her opinion, creativity and ideas and enjoy collaborating with her. Her work is full of interesting details and balanced mix of elements and colors. To top it off, she is a bright, professional and lovely person and I always look forward to connecting with her.

I chose Linda to work with after struggling with a small awkward living room space in a 1908 Victorian styled home. I wanted the home to feel modern and elegant without fighting the Victorian touches that already existed. I was referred through friend who used her for a small project in her own home. Linda created a floor plan along with very specific measurements of pieces so that I would not choose furniture that swallowed up my room. She helped me with recovering furniture, creating custom window treatments, selecting tile and the overall design. Linda is an experienced designer and with many connections in Marin and San Francisco. She has a great eye and her creative process involves being flexible with things that needed to be in the room. I had definite opinions of what I liked and did not like and she worked well with my style. I really appreciated how attentive she was to my questions and just getting back to me. That was a key issue for me when choosing a designer. I wish I could say that I stayed on budget but sadly my tastes and my budget were not always in synch. Since the project has finished , my family has used the room a lot more and we all really enjoy being the space. I always gets compliments when we entertain. I definitely recommend Linda.

Comment from StudioBARON Design + Staging:

We are so happy to hear that you and your family really enjoy being in the room ! We really enjoyed collaborating with you to help elevate and pull together your already sophisticated and polished vision for your new home. Loved your fun spirit and willingness to take some creative risks. The rewards were big: The new fireplace really anchors the space, and the IKAT print works great to bring a more contemporary vibe. But finding and reinventing those vintage chairs definitely wins my award for favorite furniture piece this year! Thank you for this opportunity. We appreciate this recommendation!

We've worked with Linda on several home and garden/studio projects and she and her StudioBARON team are fantastic to work with. Linda has an amazing eye for design and color and she she works quickly to develop and implement magazine-worthy spaces for you. We recently downsized and have been impressed with Linda's ability to come up with creative solutions to the many "problem areas" of our home. Linda is creative and flexible but also has a strong business and project management background. We appreciated Linda's help with developing a realistic budget and helping us to prioritize what's most important. She and her team attend to every little detail! We cannot wait to see what StudioBARON comes up with for our new kitchen and patio space in 2018.

Comment from StudioBARON Design + Staging:

Thank you for your kind words about our team. We were delighted to collaborate with you on your latest project, and always driven to re-earn your appreciation! We are so excited to be working with you and your lovely family again, this time on a wonderful kitchen and patio space, so it'll be ready to use by next summer !

nljudson

We are working with Studio Baron on a kitchen design and cannot sing their praises highly enough. Linda Baron is exceptional at distilling the vast amount of resources out there into a comprehensive design plan that is unique, completely in tune with what we are looking for, and perfectly in line with budgeting considerations. She has exceptional vision and creativity and was able to move the design from my wishes to drawing board to actual project flawlessly, with incredible end results. I cannot imagine doing my kitchen without her!! I am happy to recommend Studio Baron. It has been a joy working with them.

Comment from StudioBARON Design + Staging:

nljudson: Thank you and Likewise! It has been a completely rewarding experience to work with such a wonderful family and help make your ideas a reality. We so appreciate working with clients who are willing to be nudged out of their comfort zone, and trust us to hold their vision, while making sure each of the details line up, within your timeline and budget, for a beautiful, livable outcome you'll love to live with for years to come!

Karen Berg

I'd seen and admired the work of StudioBARON Design in a couple of local, Marin county homes. Both of these homeowners raved about Linda's talent and creative, solution-oriented ideas so I scheduled a meeting. After viewing her portfolio I fell in love with her unique style and passion for design, so immediately hired her to stage my rental property that had been quietly sitting on the market for two months. Linda went right to work, taking care of everything and making this effortless on my part. She was happy to incorporate pieces I already owned with those from her own studio. When I returned from a business trip I was amazed at the results! Within one hour of posting my new ad, the calls and emails started to arrive. I leased the house within a matter of days! I trusted Linda to work her magic and it paid off big-time. My only regret is not hiring her sooner. Thank you, StudioBARON Design!

Comment from StudioBARON Design + Staging:

Dear Karen: After our staging, I think we were at least as excited as you were to see all the great responses roll in! We appreciate that you put your trust in us to produce a great result for you. Thank you for reaching out! Honestly, it was super fun and satisfying to be able to turn around a project in a few days for a change, rather than a few months (or a year)! That rental cottage is adorable, if someone had not grabbed it, I woulda been tempted to book it myself as a getaway! Would love to work with you again.

StudioBaron has done a number of jobs for me - living room, child's bedroom, kitchen consulting - and all of it has been outstanding, from design to conception. StudioBaron was able to come up with creative plans while being mindful of budget. And do it with the utmost professionalism and care from start to finish. The projects came in on time, on budget and on point as far as what I wanted. I could not be happier with the end result and would be happy to recommend StudioBaron to any of my friends.
