Curious about how a home staging project actually comes together? 

In this episode, Ashley Tapley, an interior designer, color consultant, and Santa Cruz home stager from House Candy HOME, shares her process on her shortlisted home staging project for the 2022 International Home Staging Awards, which was even featured in Apartment Therapy!

Ashley shares the many design decisions she made and what went wrong! We also do a deep dive Q&A covering the new “Coastal Grandma” trend, pre-sales consultations, real vs. fake plants, and so much more.

Ashley is so incredibly creative and the combination of her education and life experience makes her so well suited to home staging.
