Staging Mentor and Leader


Growing up the middle child in a military family, I knew what is was like to constantly reinvent your environment.  Little did I know at such a young age, that would become my passion in life.  It took thought and creativity to constantly create a space that made me feel like I belonged and could thrive in.  Inspiration came in many forms to me from the actual city I would live in to the smallest design detail or color that made me feel some emotion.  I knew there was some special connection with that.  Creating spaces that not only looked good, but felt good as well.  The thought of making a living at that, of course, came many years later when Refined Interior Staging Solutions was formed.  And as they say, the rest is history!

Located in Kansas City, Refined Interior Staging Solutions, a Kansas City Home Staging company offers services in the entire Kansas City metro area including Kansas City, Missouri, Kansas City, Kansas, Prairie Village, Leawood, Fairway, Lees Summit, Overland Park, Olathe, Liberty, Parkville, Platte City, Belton, Gardner, Independence and more.  We have several years of home staging and design experience that cater to your specific needs and budget. Our services include walk-thru consultations, occupied home staging and vacant home staging for homes that have been left vacant, recently renovated or new construction as well as being experts in the luxury home market. We provide furnishings and accessories that appeal to your specific demographic  and understand who your demographic buyer is.  We believe that is the key to successful staging. We can do more than make your house pretty, we can help you sell it for more money and in a shorter amount of time.  Our statistics prove and show that home staging works!  We also offer a full service of design or redesign services including color consultations in new construction, remodels and renovated homes.
