Having your home professionally staged is the first step in connecting with buyers. Gorgeous marketing photos will make your listing stand out from the rest and help buyers emotionally connect to your space.
Don't have a lot of money to invest in staging your home? No problem! I specialize in using what you already have to make your home shine. The investment in a consultation alone will set you up for DIY success without having to bring in all new furnishings.
SO WHAT EXACTLY IS OCCUPIED STAGING?
It is the critical first step in preparing your home for sale if you will be living in it while it is on the market. Staging is an art form used to market a home by highlighting its positive features while downplaying imperfections. It starts with pre-packing personal items & excess furnishings, refreshing paint and décor & rearranging your furniture for optimal placement and flow.
HOME STAGING IS ALSO PROVEN TO WORK!
Staged homes sell faster & for more money than unstaged homes, so don't leave money on the table. You will have the benefit of working with an award-winning, professionally certified home stager. I understand the buyer demographic, real estate market & current trends in our area, helping you to get top dollar for your home.

Jodi was instrumental in helping me prepare my home for sale
As a result of her advice, I was able to get myself organized, understand the process, and best of all, my home sold within 3 days of being on the market, at 30K over ask! She was precise, responsive, and having her come to my home on photo day made things much easier. I would recommend her services without reservation.

We were completely blown away by her recommendations!
We took notes in the Home Staging Report and Checklists packet that Jodi provided. She gave us incredibly useful pointers and suggestions, reminding us that it wasn’t necessary to go out and buy new things - we could simply make use of, repurpose and move around items we already had in our home. We ended up following ALL of her recommendations! Our house truly sparkles and is a home we are now completely proud to showcase! It’s so beautiful we wish we weren’t selling!
Working with a certified color consultant before hiring a painter will save you a lot of time & money on costly mistakes. I will develop a cohesive color palette that perfectly suits you and your home, inside or out.
Are you renovating and not sure how to tie all of your finishes together? I can help you there too. Counter, tile, cabinetry, flooring and hardware selections can become overwhelming, very quickly. I will take the stress out of the process & help guide you to achieve the look you are after. See what a few clients have to say..

I highly recommend her services, you will not be disappointed
I hired Jodi of Kelly Home Designs to guide me in choosing paint colors for my living and dining rooms. This was money well spent! Everyone knows how daunting it can be choosing color schemes... and you get frozen with indecision. Jodi came in, listed to my needs and worked with me to come up with some really perfect color schemes. She was very friendly and super easy to work with. She has experience with older homes and that was a huge plus for me. Colors were chosen and advice given based on my preferences and not what colors were "in" for the season. I also appreciated her non-judgmental demeanor. I've had other consultants in my home and frankly felt judged as if my project was beneath them. NOT the case with Kelly Home Designs.

Jodi Kelly is EXCELLENT!
She is such a pleasure to work with, really understands my style, and is very knowledgeable. She helped me select the right neutral paint colors for my house to not only fit each room, but to have a consistent color palette across the main floor. I was hesitant to hire someone because I felt like I should be able to pick a neutral myself, but there are literally thousands out there. She showed me how not all neutrals are the same, the undertones really make a difference in the feel of the color, and she walked me through the selection process. Ultimately, she made me feel much more calm and confident in my decisions. We are still months away from completing our renovation, but when we are, I plan to bring her back in to help tweak the interior decorating.
The interior styling and redesign services will help you to update your home without the expense of full-service design. Depending on how much help you need, I can provide results in as little as a few hours by enhancing what you already have and love to achieve a fresh new look.
Let me help you turn your home into a space you’ll never want to leave.

I highly recommend Jodi for any renovations that you might want to do.
We hired Jodi to help with a "face lift" for our kitchen. She was wonderful and creative, especially with choosing paint colors for the cabinets to brighten and modernize the kitchen. She suggested a beautiful blue for the lowers and a creamy white for the uppers. She accompanied us to a quartz showroom to select new counters and a stone and tile showroom to choose a new backsplash. She also chose a beautiful color for the walls of our entire first floor and a coordinating color for the powder room. Jodi's prices are reasonable, and she guides you through each step of the process.

With her tiered offering of services, you can have her help with minor staging/ editing/ designing or allow her to fully take the reins for a complete make-over or redesign. No matter your needs, she will get it done and you will be happy!
