Color is a beast! Trying to figure out which white, or which color will work best with furniture, lighting oh heck even moods. I am in the process of remodeling my bathroom which is requiring me to pick a new paint color -- This process then turned into the classic "If you give a mouse a cookie". Once I picked a color for my bathroom, I realized I needed to pick a color for my bedroom. After countless paint samples painted on my walls, my ego finally gave up and said "You need to call someone who knows colors!!"... in walks Janice. Let me tell you they pack a lot of power in small packages. She walked into my house and immediately I felt comfortable with her. She has strong powers of ...

My husband and I are so thankful for Janice. We were selling our home and we knew it needed a little professional help. Our realtor hired Janice to give us some home staging advice for photos and showing. Not only was Janice extremely kind and down to earth, her sense of style and attention to detail helped us sell our house in just a few days, literally! Janice is a true professional at design, staging and color. Through much experience, she has acquired the skills and vision to look at a room and know how photos of that room will turn out. On our first consultation, Janice got to know us and our goals for selling our home. Then, for the best home photos and staging possible, she si...

Janice is warm, flexible, intelligent, kind, down to earth, an expert in her craft, and an all-around class act. I am so grateful to have met her, and I am so pleased to offer her my highest recommendation! I listed my home with Tom Rapisarda, and Janice’s home staging services are one of the first-class benefits that Tom offers to his clients. I have to admit, I had always associated home staging with opulence—basically something reserved for rich folks in wealthy zip codes. Needless to say, I felt slightly awkward when I found out Janice would be coming to my working-class neighborhood to help me stage my home. However, after working with Janice, I realize that not only is home stagi...

Janice was the ultimate professional - she paid attention to every last detail when staging our home, was always punctual, and great at communicating her vision. Her staging was so beautiful that we even discussed not listing our home! The cost was more than reasonable for the amount of time and effort she devoted to ensuring our house was perfect. I am sure her staging contributed to us going to contract so fast and for over asking price. We loved her so much that we will definitely be using her in the future to help design our new home.

Center Stage Design is amazing! Extremely knowledgable, professional and current on design changes and trends. Janice does not just dabble in interior design. She is a true professional with the capacity to stage a wide variety of homes. My particular project was a large home which posed its own particular challenges. Janice did a fabulous job analyzing the need and creating a beautiful design plan. The house is gorgeous! I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Janice Brown of Center Stage Design is a gifted professional stagger and designer. She helped us with a redesign on our dated Tuscan decor. The new "transitional" flare is beautiful and fitting for our home's architecture and has really brightened up the environment. Janice has a unique talent in that she is able to exert her expert vision at the same time that she takes into consideration our preferences. Ours is a work in progress. We have enjoyed and look forward to each step of the way.

Janice did a great job staging my 3300 sq ft 40 year old home that had many peculiar spaces to cover. She made it look bigger in spaces that looked cramped and small before. She used color to swing the eye to best features and overlook not so interesting ones. The house was unsold for 3 months with no takers before we hired her. After Janice’s “make over” we had 3 offers in less than 2 weeks. We closed in less than 6 weeks after that. Thank you Janice! I would use her again.

Janice and her team were top notch from start to finish. Her work met and exceeded my expectations. We received top dollar for our home due in large part to her staging expertise. Janice is a true professional who is not afraid to roll up and her sleeves and will work passionately until every last detail is addressed with items displayed/arranged exactly how it should be. Her communication skills, eye for design and competitive pricing make her the perfect choice for home staging.

Janice Brown is a game changer in the presentation of my listings. I use to try to tell clients to change items, their house had an odor, remove pictures, etc and at times the clients would take it personally and it would affect our relationship. Now for everyone of my listings I have Janice go in and do a 1 - 2 hour presentation. When I go back for photos most of the time it's like I am viewing a completely different house. Janice has a way with her words to speak to my clients that make the clients want to change items in their home, in addition she is a class act. My clients love the fact that I offer a stagger with all of my listings, which has lead to many referrals, plus the homes end ...

Janice is amazing, her professionalism and attention to detail is impeccable. Janice's staging expertise moved our home within the first listing week and at a price higher than asking. The moment you walked in the front door it took your breath away. I highly recommend Center Stage Design, definitely worth the investment.

Janice was great! She fit me in even though it was a last minute stage before we put our house on the market! She did all the work such as hanging pictures and carrying in all her stuff.

Janice Brown of Center Stage Design is the absolute best when it comes to staging and redesign! As a Realtor, I know that pictures are key in properly marketing a home. Pictures of vacant homes can be boring and make it difficult to understand a room's size or purpose. Janice's staging brings the home to life! She creates beautiful and inviting spaces and provides just the right amount of accessories and decor so the home feels full but not cluttered. Working with Janice is a dream. She's professional and meticulous when it comes to executing her design plan. I'm convinced her staging helps my listings sell for the highest price and in the quickest time. I've used Janice several times and th...
