Staged & Styled’s Mission Statement is to create spaces that reflect organization, beauty, creativity and harmony.

Whether Kim is decorating or redesigning, the mission is the same. Our homes need to be a refuge, an escape...places of safety, beauty and comfort.

Kim has been privileged to help many homeowners turn their homes into peaceful havens.
 

Kim has also had the joy of attracting potential homebuyers who can envision themselves living in one of the homes staged by Kim. Before becoming an Accredited Stager™, Kim and her husband moved every two and a half years. Kim took it upon herself to get each of their homes “ready to sell”. Every home sold within a few days of putting it on the market! As one of the first ASPs™ (Accredited Staging Professionals) in the State of Ohio and subsequently, in Northeast Ohio, Kim’s experience and knowledge far surpass any other stager in this region. Kim’s work has been seen on prestigious home tours, featured on the cover of the Kids’ Directory, and is also showcased in the brand new book, “The Idiot’s Guide To Staging Your Home”. Kim believes staying abreast of the latest ideas and market trends in home staging is essential to her clients and to her business. For this reason, Kim chooses to take continuing education courses and is a member of IAHSP (International Association of Home Staging Professionals).

Kim is also one of the first 18 Certified Dewey Color Consultants in the world. As a DCCC, Kim understands that color is powerful and impacts each of us differently. Along with her DCCC designation, Kim is also an ODCCC (Certified Color Consultant). Kim has been trained by renowned faux finisher, Cyndie Stefanik. Ms. Stefanik’s work has been featured in numerous magazines, including Architectural Digest. With her extensive color training, Kim can create successful color palettes that are individualized and fabulous!

In 2005, Kim had the honor of being a design consultant for the Henn Leadership convention (Henn By Design). In addition to her color training and consulting work, Kim has received training from HGTV designer and industry leader, JoAnne Lenart-Weary. The designation of IDP (Interior Decorating Professional) was awarded to Kim in April, 2006. Kim also understands the value of membership to professional organizations such as the (IDS) Interior Design Society, Staged Homes, and (SDP) Society of Decorating Professionals.

Kim makes a point to stay abreast of the latest design trends by attending the Atlanta Mart and “To The Trade Only” events.

Kim has had the privilege of helping homeowners and business owners discover the untapped potential of their spaces. However, she says that true joy comes when she is able to “donate” her talents to causes that grab her heart.

The Barnabas House was one of those endeavors. Kim, along with a fellow designer, decorated the Barnabas House for missionary families who are home on furlough from their global service. Kim has also given freely of her time and talents to women’s events and trade shows.
