We LOVE our home. You and your team really captured our vision. As Jay and I are spending more and more time here - it has truly become my “happy place”. It is so comfortable and relaxing while being so “chic”. We spent our first Christmas here last month with our entire family. Everyone found it as the perfect getaway.

After 7 months on the market our condo was beautifully staged by Amy and we received an offer in one week! Absolutely thrilled with a highly professional service would definitely recommend her company!

I’ve been in lots of beach houses and I’ve NEVER seen one like this! Amy does amazing work and continues to earn our business with all of our custom homes.

Amy is super fun to work with and very professional! She staged a home for me and within 7.5 hours I had multiple full priced offers, 9 showings and a call from the newspaper!

You can’t underestimate the importance of the place you call home. It should make you happy to belong there, nurture your spirit, welcome your loved ones and guests. It’s a representation of your style and taste. It can be grand, simple, modern, or throw-back; but, it should be that which that inspires you. I am ecstatic by the way my home turned out working with Amy. It is everything and more than I dreamed. She listens, she gets you and she executes exactly the vision of what YOU desire. You arrive at the journey’s end having gone through a process that’s seamless and stress-free because she is the penultimate of professional, designer and woman. Faith is believing that which is not immediately evident. To go through the renovation process (or any for that matter) with someone with such integrity, kindness and talent is… transformative.

My name is Lana and my husband John Gettle and I worked with Amy on our A&E television series “Flip Wars.” The show follows us as we purchase properties from auction, sight-unseen, and flip them for a profit. Amy and her team worked with us on every aspect of the staging and design. Amy’s attention to detail and a keen eye for style are unparalleled. In terms of staging, she goes above and beyond to make as much use of a space as possible. She uses her natural sense of style along with her understanding of trends to fulfill a space to the best of her ability. In addition to staging, Amy brings so much vibrancy to interior design. On our second flip of the series, located on Siesta Key, Amy accompanied me every step of the way. From selecting kitchen and bathroom tile and flooring to color schemes and patterns… Amy knew exactly the look we were going for and helped me bring my vision of the perfect modern-day beach house to life! Not only is Amy an incredible interior designer and stager with many accolades under her belt, she is truly a lovely person to work with. We are fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with her on this series.
