Home Staging
Annette Besaw of Design Matters truly lived up to the name of her business when she staged a spec house for me recently. She transformed it from a house into a home! The tasteful furnishings that she provided, combined with her artistic decorating details, made the house come alive! I feel confident that this investment will have the desired result of making it easy for perspective buyers to imagine that they have just walked into their new home.

Annette and her Team truly transformed our home into a show place. She made it a point
to work around our schedule on nights and weekends, gave us honest feedback, and a plan to execute. Annette was able to use what we had in our home as a beginning, and completely without boundaries re-invent each space. She did this with creative design touches and added elements and groupings to make each space unique and interesting.
We arrived from vacation to a truly remarkable and inviting space that flow from room
to room. The staging provided great still pictures and a virtual tour which is getting a lot of attention and praise from potential buyers. Thank You to Annette and her Team for making this a remarkable staging experience.

Annette is a joy to work with on any decorating project. She is very professional, extremely knowledgeable and a true perfectionist. On top of those qualities she is fun and enthusiastic. Annette is a good listener and she has an open mind. She will become a teacher and a friend all at the same time. In addition, I appreciate her efforts to keep my pocketbook in mind. It’s easy to recommend her with enthusiasm.

Organization
“Annette organized my life!” She came to our home with positive energy and a radiant smile and immediately saw what needed to happen. It was not just that she knew how to put things in their proper place, she actually coached me along to make it all work for me individually. Annette Besaw has a way of figuring out exactly what I needed to do in order to make my life more simple and organized. Annette makes the job of organizing my home office (something I was dreading) actually fun and incredibly productive. I feel encouraged and motivated when working with Annette, she has helped me so much more then the many books that I had bought on storage tips and organizing. Thank you Annette, you have changed my life!

Annette has a talent that I envy. She started by helping me pick out paint colors for my bedroom and bathroom and it was obvious after a few minutes of her help, I realized I had NO idea what I was doing. Through speaking with her I felt very comfortable and I gave her my ideas and concerns regarding things I wanted to do with my house. She was open and let me explain what I wanted and she helped me achieve the look I was envisioning. She helped me choose from the paint colors right up to the tile floors educating me and explaining along the way the differences with texture, color, grout, etc. She also did a beautiful faux finish on my living room walls. I'm confident there is no way I could have done these projects with out her help. My house is now absolutely gorgeous and I smile inside every day I look at it. I would not hesitate in recommending Annette to anyone. Lisa J. – Essex, Vermont
What a pleasure to have Annette's energy and expertise when trying to get one self organized. She was invaluable in teaching and coaching me about how to be more efficient and organized through a lifetime, not just for the day she's with you. Alas, two years later in a new home and I am using her systems for organizing and even teaching my clients in my psychotherapy practice how to organize their personal property and create an efficient filing system. You were a blessing, and I would recommend your services to anyone, even those who don't think they can stay organized.

Annette’s personal style is very engaging—she is so easy to work with! Her sense of style is just wonderful. She did a great job of working with some of the ideas I had and also bringing her ideas to the table as well. I plan to continue to work with Annette as I move on to additional projects in my house.
