About
The Full Story
Throughout my life, I've found joy in creating unique atmospheres within homes. Growing up in Pennsylvania, I often found myself observing my mother's creativity at rearranging furniture. This early fascination has remained with me through the years, evolving into a passion for staging and decorating.
​
Now in my 50s, residing in Georgia and nearing an empty nest phase, I've come to a profound realization of where my true work passion lies. My heart is truly devoted to the art of transforming spaces into a "Feel Home Experience". This revelation dawned upon me as I assisted my husband's clients in preparing their homes for showcasing and photography. With my husband being a real estate agent, I seized countless opportunities to refine my skills in staging and decorating, laying the foundation for what has become my Beautify journey.
​
I am thrilled for my team to bring my passion and expertise in staging, decorating, and crafting ambiance to your space. Certified through RESA accreditation program and The Home Staging Resource & Redesign, I am committed to delivering exceptional results tailored to your needs. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and collaborate on enhancing your property's allure.

Heart Moment
I arrived at midlife only to realize that I’ve finally stepped into what God placed in me from the very beginning. Looking back, the signs were always there—quiet, steady, and woven into my earliest memories.
As a little girl, I spent hours decorating dollhouses, arranging tiny rooms with a joy that came naturally. I would stare out the window every chance I got, soaking in the beauty of God’s creation—the light, the colors, the stillness—and imagining more. My mind was always creating, dreaming, shaping spaces in my heart before I ever shaped them with my hands. Even then, I was expressing the gifts God had given me: creativity, intuition, and an eye for beauty and harmony.
As I grew into a woman, those same gifts guided me in every home my family lived in. No matter the size, season, or budget, I found joy in creating a place filled with warmth and love. I’ve always believed that home isn’t about status—it’s about presence, heart, and what you make of it.
Then the world shut down, and everything went still. And in that stillness, God allowed me to see clearly:
My calling was always to create home.
Home staging became the perfect expression of my God-given purpose. It’s where my creativity, my faith, and my love for comfort and beauty come together so naturally that it feels divine. Today, I use those gifts to help buyers feel something deeper than just a structure—they feel possibility, peace, and the sense of “home” the moment they walk in.
Home staging isn’t just my career.
It’s the expression of what God planted in me long ago.
And I’m honored to use those gifts with intention, joy, and purpose in every space I touch.
