If any additional decorative items or furnishings are needed to complete your customized staging plan, we will help you with advice on purchasing or renting these items.
Finishing Touch Staging
Finishing Touch Staging works well when you have completed most of the staging recommendations on your own and now want us to help with the final polishing. A Feels Like Home Interiors professional staging stylist will spend two hours adding finishing touches and making any adjustments that will best complete your home staging transformation.
Vacant Property Staging
We will coordinate the furniture rental necessary to transform your vacant property into a warm, inviting home where the buyers will be able to imagine themselves enjoying their new lives. Together with you we will decide how many of the home's rooms to stage in order to make the best impression on your potential buyers and stay within your staging investment strategy.
Vignette Staging
Our most economical vacant staging package, Vignette Staging, uses a few carefully chosen items placed in key areas such as the entryway, kitchen, master bedroom and bath to suggest what the home will feel like when lived in by the buyer. These staging vignettes warm up the space, helping a buyer make an emotional connection with the home which is crucial in their purchasing decision.

Here's what some of our clients are saying about us:
"Mary did an outstanding job helping my husband and me prepare our home for sale in a short amount of time. She provided an initial consultation spending 3-4 hours with us reviewing options and providing suggestions. Once we had implemented many of her ideas she came back for a final walk through prior to us putting the house on the market; at this time she assisted us with furniture placement as well as where to hang pictures and what items to use to decorate shelves, etc. ~~ Suzie McClintick
"Thanks so much for the staging you did on my listing, Mary! As a result of your efforts, the pictures and virtual tour turned out great and the home showed incredibly well. You did an excellent job of not only highlighting the home's best features, but also creating a setting in each area which helped the prospective buyers to picture what it would be like for them to live in the home. The gorgeous basket of fresh fruit and vegetables from the sellers' garden displayed on the kitchen counter was a perfect touch. The seller and I were thrilled with both the selling price and the quickness of the sale of this home! Thanks for all your help." ~~ Ron Clawson, Voigt-Davis, CRS, Associate Broker with 31 years of residential sales experience
"Mary Fasnacht is the reason my house sold within two (2) weeks! I lived in an older home that was OK but she made it look fantastic. Using mainly items I already owned, Mary turned my house into a warm and inviting HOME. I couldn't believe the difference! Neither could my realtor - she came out & re-photographed the transformed rooms. "Thanks to Feels Like Home Interiors' staging assistance we sold our home quickly and easily. Mary saw our house with fresh eyes-something I was simply unable to do living there-and saw so many things I would never have noticed or thought of. She did a fantastic job of looking at our home from the buyer's perspective and making clear, specific recommendations that highlighted our home's selling features. Working with what we already owned, she helped us depersonalize our décor, improve the flow and feeling of spaciousness in the rooms, and appear move-in ready to our prospective buyers. "If you are looking for help in staging your home to sell, I highly recommend Mary Fasnacht and Feels Like Home Interiors." ~~ Rachel D.
"Mary's assistance in creating our living room was fabulous! She was able to come into the space and see elements and opportunities that we had not considered. Her patient, kind and diplomatic communication style was a pleasure to work with. She was able to guide and assist in the decision making process without ever "stepping on our toes". She brought creative and unique ideas to the space, while always being aware of our budget. Mary was marvelous at finding items from other areas of our house to complete the space. She has a wonderful talent for bringing "fresh eyes" into a home and graciously and diplomatically communicating improvements. I look forward to the time when I can have Mary's help again!!"

Bottom line - we sold our house in under 3 days in a very tough market for $15-$20K more than we expected - and best of all it sold for more than the listing price. Your first reaction would be to say that we had it listed too low... however, if you check the market for our neighborhood at the time of our sale you will see that our house sold for more than any other house in the neighborhood.
Even though we have moved across the country I would engage Mary to assist us in a future home sale - she is that good!"
"Mary has a unique gift. She is able to balance home décor with lifestyle. My home looked terrific but was still user friendly for us and our young children. The rooms which were redecorated reflected our personal taste but didn't appear too stuffy or "over-done". Her refreshing style made our older items look current but not trendy.
"I highly recommend Mary Fasnacht. Her attention to detail is outstanding. All of her customers are sure to be pleased. My only regret is not using Mary's skills earlier!"
