“Sophie did an amazing job for us. We’re sure her staging helped to sell our condo. She listened to what we wanted and provided exactly the right decor.”

“We just ended our 2 month stay in a lovely cottage in downtown Dunedin. Sophie Basford is the owner and decorator. The property is beautiful and cozy, both inside and out. Sophie was wonderful to work with and sure knows how to make someone comfortable in their “home away from home!”

Airbnb guest review following our Vacation home staging
“Sophie was introduced to me recently by a friend. She has been punctual, prompt and came across to me as a cut above the rest on how she carries herself with a wonderful British Class of Vision. In my many years of experiencing and studying Engineering, Architecture, eventually becoming a Home Builder and Developer my greatest fears has always been “what and how do I stage my own spaces”. Shortly after she took the time to listen to my wants and needs she quickly came out of the gate sort of speak and started a collaboration of theme, color and decor…. it was at this moment I needed to learn what some would call “Blind Trust” and get the heck out of the way! The end product was super remarkable and cool. It was amazing we could take a dark space and turn it into a bright an airy condition, just perfect for any space let alone a vacation rental! I could not have elevated this space without Sophie’s help. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that she is not shy to literally “work” the project and even shows up with her own tool box and paint brushes. I went online with my first vacation rental the third week of August.. in two weeks we booked 75% of September and 98% November with a 4.9 star rating to date. I plan on continuing to connect with Sophie at Stage & Prosper LLC as I venture into more of the Vacation Rental marketplace. Big Hugs to Stage & Prosper LLC!”

“What a beautiful home! Clearly a lot of thought has gone into making this a great vacation home. The door makes you feel relaxed, equipped with everything you need and a real home away from home. We loved it and cant wait to return next year!”

“Sophie did an awesome job! I’m so pleased with the rooms she staged. She seemed to transform all the rooms, she is by far the best i have seen compared to other decorators, i checked several before using Stage & Prosper.”
Nancy Booth ~ Vacant Home Staging Client
“We needed someone attentive, responsible and reliable and we were very fortunate to have found Sophie. Sophie is extremely professional and gave us the comfort of knowing our home was cared for by someone who had our complete trust, and treated our home like she would her own. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

“Sophie to My Rescue ”
The vacation rental market is growing, a good thing. But that also means as a host, you have to put your best foot forward. An inviting and beautiful space is a must. Between juggling a busy family life and not having a knack for decorating, I struggled pulling together a look for our cottages. I was so frustrated, wasting precious time and money on pieces that did not work together. After numerous Facebook posts of my décor choices gone wrong, some friends wondered if I started a furniture resale business ! I called Sophie for help and I have been so very, very pleased. Sophie created a look using most of the pieces we had. Her work included a design board and sourcing on where to purchase the rest of the things we needed to pull off a cohesive look…well worth the reasonable investment. Trust me, save yourself the frustration and time. Let Sophie map your vision and get busy promoting your place and welcoming new guests. Best of luck!

“If you need staging to sell, rent or just need decorating help, I highly recommend using Stage & Prosper. I get tons of decorating compliments from the vacation rentals I manage after they transformed them!”
