A Bit About Me

 

After 30+ years as a fashion buyer and consultant in New York City, I traded runways for real estate and founded Suncoast Spaces, a home staging and styling business where design meets function. I’m more than a stager; I'm the heart and hustle behind Suncoast Spaces. I’ve been a working mom, a PTSA president, a soccer coach, a pet parent, and yes, a beach-loving Floridian who still dreams of surfing. I believe in community, kindness, and creating spaces that feel like home-not just look good in photos.

​

What I Do

​

I specialize in occupied home staging, using your furnishings (and a touch of my styling magic and maybe a few new accessories) to transform homes into spaces that photograph beautifully and connect emotionally with buyers.

• For Realtors: I’m your behind-the-scenes partner in presenting homes at their best. My staging elevates your listings, enhances your reputation, and gives buyers more reasons to say “yes.”

• For Sellers: I help you prepare your home while you’re still living in it. By using what you already own, plus a few strategic updates, I create a warm, inviting look that buyers can’t resist.

• For Homeowners: Maybe you’re not moving but need a refresh. I reimagine your spaces, using what you have with maybe a few new additions, so they feel inviting, more functional, and are true reflection of you.

• For Investors: In today’s market, your rental or resale needs an edge. Professionally styled properties draw the right audience and outperform the competition.​

 

Why It Matters

​

• Buyers shop with their eyes first. My job is to make your home the one they remember.

• Streamlining and pre-packing not only helps your home feel spacious but also eases the stress of moving.

• A thoughtful consultation can unlock the potential in any space and arm you with a clear plan to succeed.​

How to Work With Me

​

• Staging Consultations: The smart first step for Realtors and sellers. I give you clear, actionable advice to get your home market-ready so you don’t waste time or money guessing what buyers want.

• Occupied Staging: Most buyers see your home online before they ever step foot inside. I style your existing furnishings to create photos and spaces that make buyers stop scrolling and start imagining themselves living there.

• Style Reset: Not moving but craving a change? I reimagine your spaces with a designer’s eye, refreshing layouts, repurposing what you own, and layering in thoughtful updates so your home feels brand new without the cost of a renovation.

• Streamlining Services: Clutter is the fastest way to turn buyers off (and stress you out). I help you edit, organize, and even start pre-packing so your home feels open, calm, and ready for its next chapter.

• Investor Styling: Rental or flip, presentation drives profit. I create polished, appealing spaces that attract your ideal tenants or buyers, helping you stand out in a competitive market and maximize returns.
