Hope Designs Recent Article on REDESIGN As a Home Stager and Redesigner, I feel it is important to spread our message that "Staging Works" in as many places and homes as possible. I have published several articles on Staging before and I felt it was time to also spread the word on Redesign, since it is a relatively new term and concept but well worth bringing to the forefront. Imagine having the luxury of having your rooms redesigned by a professional decorator redesigner for a fraction of the cost compared to traditonal design rates.
