Learn more about Adrienne:

I love staging because…
It is, for me, extremely fulfilling and a much-needed creative outlet.

My personal aesthetic is…
Coastal Farmhouse (I’m in North Florida, I promise, it’s a thing!)

Good staging should…
Be as universally appealing as possible. Please understand, I’m not saying “vanilla” – but, appealing to as many as possible based on the expected demographic of the buyer. And, good staging allows the FEATURES of the home to shine and doesn’t compete with them.

Before I was staging…
I started my career as a high school teacher and eventually ran team of IT Trainers at Oracle. So, I’m a “recovering” teacher!

My goal is…
To be a staging “ambassador” in my local area and beyond. My passion is educating – teaching others the value of staging whether they are a fellow stager, agent, or homeowner.

My morning ritual is…
I’m spoiled as my sweet husband/coffee fairy delivers my cup of Dark Magic to my bedside every morning. After coffee, I can tackle anything!

I love what I do because…
I can be my own boss, I can mentor and teach others and make a pretty good living while doing it!

My favorite meal after a long day of staging is…
Anything at the Columbia Restaurant in St. Augustine

My go-to staging accessory is…
The three things we always have extra of when staging are: books, greenery and pillows.

Right now I am obsessed with…
With staging, I’m obsessed with: texture – you can have the same color in multiple textures and it is so interesting. With our real estate business: I’m obsessed with vignette shots. Our listings are very memorable and we often get the comment of “I knew that was your listing!” 🙂

When you are in a rut creatively where do you go or what do you do to get out of it?
