“Gabrielle is amazing. She came up with such innovative, unique ideas for our kitchen. Our space was not large and yet Gabrielle’s solutions seemed to enlarge the entire room. One of the things I like most about working with Gabrielle is her ability to see and understand our taste and then expand on it. She is easy to communicate with and full of great ideas. We are now moving to a larger house and I cannot wait to work with her again. I called her before escrow closed because I know she will be able to help me create my dream home. I recommend her highly.”

“Gabrielle has the extraordinary ability to look at an existing living space and see a whole range of creative possibilities involving use and design. The “limitations” of a space are upended by her imagination and expertise and even the most troublesome design problems find their solutions. The result is always beautiful, useful and completely livable. In the bathroom addition she designed for our home, her creative use of space and careful selection of design references resulted in an exotic bathing pavilion, which far exceeded our expectations. Her wonderful eye and innate understanding of architectural space elevates the design conversation.

“Gabrielle is the kind of designer who can walk into a room and know exactly how to transform it. I am glad she came into my home when she did: the rooms function better and are more centered, welcoming and restful thanks to her. Her taste is exquisite and she specializes in classic, livable spaces. With a spirit of collaboration and her vast knowledge of historic and twentieth century styles, she is able to help her clients realize their own unique style. If you can imagine a Hollywood art director coming into your home, with gentle grace and elegance, you have imagined Gabrielle.

From the first pleasant conversation over the phone, to the prompt response to questions, to the meeting at the home, to the staging itself I was impressed by Gabrielle's professionalism and expertise. When I walked in after the staging was completed I thought, "wow". She made the home so inviting and warm and played up all its qualities. I have no doubt that her work in presenting the home was crucial to its exceedingly quick sell for over the asking price. I would recommend Gabrielle to anyone looking for quality, integrity, and professionalism in the staging of their home. It was worth every cent!

Gabrielle did wonders when she helped stage our rental home for sale. She gave us advice during the remodeling phase in terms of paint color and overall color scheme. When the house was done and ready for staging, we were almost out of money! No problem said Gabrielle. She found some furniture for us to rent for a super reasonable price, and we borrowed the rest of the furniture and décor from our own house, friends, and neighbors. I feared our hodge podge approach to collecting furniture and accessories would result in a disjointed look, but Gabrielle managed to pull everything together seamlessly. The house looked fantastic when she was done. And, the best part? We received 11 offers in one week and sold the house for tens of thousands of dollars over asking. You can’t go wrong with Gabrielle. She will work with your budget, however large or limited, and get your house sold for a great price.

We were selling our first home in Pasadena and decided that we needed to stage the home in order to have our home stand out from the competition. We interviewed and reviewed designs from other stagers but it wasn't until my husband spoke with Gabrielle that we knew she was the right person to go with. She asked great questions such as who we were trying to appeal to and really listened to our needs. At the first consultation meeting, Gabrielle came and studied each space and tried to maximize the potential of each room rather than just filling the room with whatever furniture she had.
Gabrielle was also extremely quick! From the moment we first called until the final piece of furniture was placed took only 3 days. We were on a major time crunch so her quick work on getting everything together saved us. We would not hesitate to recommend or use Gabrielle again in the future. She was extremely easy to work with and incredibly professional.
