Styling and Staging

Kristine helped me create the office I have always dreamed of having. As a busy professional with limited creative instinct, I just broadly knew I wanted an office that incorporated my brand vision and included elements of biophilic design. I had more of a feeling of what I wanted and was only able to articulate the vision in broad statements without much in the way of detail. I gave Kristine my brand outline document, and we walked through the space to discuss the vision. Kristine came back with an excellent plan for an accent wall and several pieces of unique furniture and decor that my clients and colleagues have since unanimously fallen in love with! She helped me order the items and navigate supply issues, which saved me a great deal of time. I could not be more pleased with my office, and I have Kristine to thank for it! She has an incredible ability to understand your vision and see it in her mind, then manifest that vision into a physical space. I can't recommend Kristine enough!

I had such a great experience with Kristine Porter. I’ve always struggled in bringing my household “things” together to make our house feel like a home, but a couple hours with Kristine and she transformed our living spaces to not only feel homey and put together, but to feel like OUR home. And she used only my existing furniture and accessories - really showing her talents! She was passionate and truly excited to transform our home. Thank you Kristine! I love walking in and relaxing in our newly designed spaces!! Whether it’s a big job, or a small job, i highly recommend Kristine!

I recently met Kris and shared my desire and frustrations with creating a wall of memories of my family, She made my wishes come true. She hit it out of the park! Not only did she create the "wall of memories" I have longed for but used items around the house to redesign 3 rooms. The space is very warm and inviting. Not only is she extremely kind but a true professional in every sense of the word. I highly recommend Kris. She can tackle any design job with ease and pleasure.

Whether dealing with students, clients or vendors, Kris always combined a profiency with design and a genuine warmth and enthusiasm. She doesn't impose design standards but listens for how someone really lives in a room and then creatively finds a solution that makes any room in any house more like home. Because she sees the possibilities and qualities in other people ( just as she does in a room), she's a delight to work with and be around.

I had the wonderful opportunity of participating in Kristine's 5-day training program. Kristine is an exceptional teacher and I learned so much from her. She provided me with both classroom work and hands on experience which was incredibly helpful. She gave me the confidence to start my own company, and I can't thank her enough! I highly recommend Kristine's training program, as well as her services for styling & staging!

Your group came in and redesigned my living room from chaotic to relaxing and beutiful using my own things. Only thing added was a carpet and lamp.

There are no word to describe what an awesome experience it is to work with Kris, not only is she very talented, she is also VERY patient and extremely kind. I had the honor of being one of her students this summer and was amazed at how she could transform a room using items that were already there. She takes the time to get to know her client and the feel of the room and the rest is magic. I highly recommend Kris and her team.

I was absolutely delighted with the work Kris and her team did on our home to make it look and feel so comfortable and homey, yet bigger and more appealing. They used all of my furniture and accessories, yet rearranged things in a way that makes my home so attractive! I have very high hopes that potential buyers will be even more interested in making this house their home when they see it, due to the work Kris and her team did for us.

Kris' team has worked on 3 of my homes over the years, and each time I am delighted with their work. They are skilled at seeing my own possessions in a new light and giving the rooms a designer touch. Most recently, they started with a few furnishings and a modest budget and transformed my house in a matter of hours. Give them a try---you'll be delighted!

I am so pleased to be writing this recommendation. I had the opportunity of taking one of Kristine's classes in August. I learned so much from her. She has prepared me so well that I feel confident in starting my own staging business. Her classroom and hands on training is outstanding.. Kristine is an exceptional instructor, decorator and a wonderful person. Anna I (student)

I recently participated in Kris's 5 day training class for home staging, re-design and one day decorating. It was awesome! I came to the training with a love of decorating and making rooms look beautiful. This class gave me additional knowledge and confidence to want to move forward and do this professionally. For those of you that have to "do it to learn it", this is the class for you! We went into 3 different homes to practice and gain insight and experience on all three skills. This was invaluable time well spent. Real world experience has always worked best for me and I highly recommend this class to anyone with a creative spirit.

Kris was awesome! She made our cluttered home look spacious, bright and welcoming. We got full asking price, possibly over market value, and I think a big part of it is the WOW factor from her staging. She had excellent recommendations on what to fix or not to worry about and gave us as much time as we needed to ask questions. She even helped us find cheap solutions through websites she knows as a pro to get the most bang for minimum buck to spruce up our home for potential buyers. Thanks, Kris!
