Dawn Wolf - Owner/Designer
If you don't see a service below that fits your needs...call me at 614.313.4000.
I will make sure I find the right solution for you!
When my husband and I bought a house unexpectedly in Fountain Hills and he had surgery scheduled the same month, I knew I would need help to furnish and style the house. The sheer number of retail stores in the greater Phoenix area was itself an issue coupled with my limited time and knowledge about where to shop for furniture and art, led me to Dawn Wolf, redesigner and home stylist. Dawn visited the house, asked questions about our lifestyle and preferences, developed great concepts that matched our style and spent many hours shopping so we could have our home designed and ready for use before we returned to our summer home. She delivered on all fronts: she used what we had (not much), found items we loved within our budget and stayed on deadline for us. Without Dawn's help we would never have had the comfort and style to enjoy so quickly and within our budget. We highly recommend Dawn for redesign and total design services. She made our experience fun and successful due to her artistic eye and warm, efficient client interaction.

Services to Fit Every Need...
Villa Staging and Redesign specializes in using what you already have to transform your home into what a buyer is looking for (Home Staging), or a refreshed space that perfectly reflects your family’s style, needs and comfort for when you want to stay (Redesign).
Although I do not offer cleaning, or packing services but I am happy to help organize closets, cabinets, pantries, home offices, etc., so you can use your newly organized areas with ease and potential buyers can see there is ample storage space.
A word about downsizing and estate sales.......
During those times when a loved one is moving onto retirement living or perhaps sadly has passed on, a family member or executor from out of town needs special assistance in sourcing and organizing local vendors to do repairs and clean up work that goes beyond staging the house for sale. I can help find vendors and contractors to help you prepare the property for sale and make the process as simple and easy as possible. I will collaborate with the realtor and the estate liquidators of your choice and work as a team to bring the whole project together to yield higher offers for the property from potential buyers.
Staging Consultation
Initial Consultation - $150 Regardless of the square footage
Consultations usually take one hour per 1,000 sq. ft. and applied toward your project when you hire me.
- We start with a phone interview so I can gather some basic information before the appointment.
- On the day of the consultation we will first sit down and discuss your home, expectations, and goals you have for selling your home.
- Then we walk the property together approaching each area like a buyer would looking through a buyer's eyes. I will explain my notes, suggestions and recommendations. By the end of the consultation you will have all the information you need to stage the home yourself if you choose.
