We provide thoughtful, professional staging services that help homeowners and agents showcase their properties so they stand out and impress home buyers. Serving Snohomish County and North King County, our practical solutions create polished, buyer-ready listings that stand out, sell faster, and deliver stronger results.
For agents, this means fewer difficult conversations, less stress for your clients, and listings that present beautifully from day one.
Whether you need budget-conscious solutions or full-service occupied staging with thoughtfully selected furnishings, our approach is always sensitive, practical, and results-driven. The goal? Homes that show well online, resonate with buyers in person, and sell faster,
(often for more money).
Selling a home can feel overwhelming, especially when sellers are still living in the space. That’s why Modern Mollusk was founded on a simple belief: every homeowner deserves practical, professional staging that makes their home stand out in the market.
We guide sellers step by step, providing actionable recommendations and room-by-room checklists that take the guesswork out of preparing a home for sale.
Every project starts with a comprehensive in-home consultation, a valuable service on its own that gives sellers clarity and direction.
Agents trust us to use this process to identify what buyers are looking for and provide detailed, room-by-room recommendations that make the home shine.
Sellers walk away with actionable checklists that ease the overwhelm, while agents gain peace of mind knowing their clients are supported.
For an added boost, we offer photo prep and partial to full staging enhancements with our curated furnishings — creating cohesive, buyer-ready spaces that elevate your listings and deliver stronger results.
From a young age, I loved reimagining rooms and finding creative ways to make spaces shine. That early passion grew into a professional career when I earned my staging certification and began helping sellers prepare their homes for the market. Combined with my business degree and years of corporate experience, I bring both creativity and strategy to every project.
That passion led me to pursue a professional certification in staging and ultimately build a business that specializes in occupied home staging. I’ve seen firsthand how thoughtful staging not only transforms homes, but also transforms the way agents are perceived in the market.
Today, I partner with realtors and homeowners across Snohomish County, offering practical, results-driven staging solutions. My goal is to help sellers maximize their ROI while giving agents a marketing advantage that builds trust and keeps them top of mind.
When a busy family of five in Edmonds needed to sell their home, they faced the challenge of rooms doing double duty and some spaces sitting unfurnished. With a clear, step-by-step plan, we gave them a plan to help them pre-pack, maximize their best pieces, and supplement with our own furnishings. The finished product felt cohesive, welcoming, and functional for everyday living, while still creating the polished look buyers expect. The result? An offer well over list price in just four days.
