Dana and her team did SO much hard work all day long. Loved the nook and the prints from her inventory that she put up. The furniture placement is just great and something I never would have thought of. By doing the redesign staging it gave me so much more incentive to purge and get the rest of the house looking the same. We received multiple offers and sold for 2% over asking.

Having a 'neutral' third party to settle differences of opinions really was a marriage saver. Your reminder that we were selling the house and not living in it, was a huge psychological help.

Carey"; text2[8] = "'It was something new for me to have my home staged – I was absolutely delighted to return home to see the wonderful maneuvers within my house. To see how you rearranged the entranceway hallway furniture and pictures was so welcoming and just flowed so well. The upstairs living area just opened up – the room looked so much larger. The picture rearrangement was wonderful and your suggestion for a few extra colored accessory pillows well taken. Removing the chaise lounge and relocating it in the office, decluttering the family room, as was all the other rearrangements throughout the house was perfect.'

My husband grudgingly agreed to have our front entrance and living room 'staged' by Dana over an 8-hour period while we were out of the house. Upon completion, I was frankly amazed at how Dana's redesign created a more appealing space from the moment we walked in the house. We love the little vignettes designed from pieces that Dana found scattered throughout my house and garage, as well as the improved layout of our furniture to create a better room flow and view of the fire place. ... my husband can now be deemed 'one of the converted'.

How they managed to create something so pleasing to the eye is beyond me. I was so delighted with the result I asked family and friends over to view the 'new home'.

Our living room seems so spacious now and my two antique chairs in their new vignette look so inviting. Everything flows so much better and I feel great in my new space.

The furniture set up is just great and my son's play room was something we didn't even think of. He loves it and shows it to everyone who comes in! My mother-in-law says the art always looks fantastic because of the way you group things. The family photo wall is really expanding and is ready for some new baby photos.

As you mentioned, you see your firm and yourself as a catalyst for change, and this is certainly what I have enjoyed via the re-staging experience. Clearly, this whole house project was not to be done in a day, but a lot did happen in that one day, when Sun On My Back arrived! I am convinced that the rearrangement of what I already had (without re-decorating) would have brought immediate dollars for resale. The targeted areas that the team tackled immediately are and appear so much more spacious, functional and attractive. I would highly recommend this service for anyone who is re-selling, re-decorating or who may be thinking of doing so down the road.'

Bill, Victoria"; text2[18] = "'Just being newly married it was a real challenge bringing our two households together in a unique way that would identify us both and become a blended family space. Dana and her team did such a wonderful job in blending our individual bits and pieces together to create new atmosphere to old spaces. It was a touch of brilliance how they took a seemly nice piece and turned it into a spectacular piece merely by clustering it or showing it off in the most effective way. We love the new look they created by taking our own art and positioning what we already had. The family room is especially comfortable and cozy with its new seating arrangement...a cozy place to gather and hang out. Our breakfast nook feels like a piece of Tuscany. We really enjoy the creative touches that Dana and her team pulled together and we have since added our own little touches to continue the themes that they inspired.'
