SPADE AND ARCHER DESIGN AGENCYSpade and Archer were great to work with and the staging was beautiful. They were both understanding and accommodating when unforeseen circumstances required us to adjust our install date. During the entire process, they were communicative, prompt and efficient. I appreciated their professionalism and highly recommend them.
RD-InteriorsRD does a gorgeous job of staging with high end pieces and a talented group of designers. Buyers who come to the open houses gush over the staging. The amount sellers get back for their investment in staging with RD is ten fold.
Seattle Staged To Sell & DesignBeautiful staging by Seattle Staged to Sell! The house just popped after they staged it -- they used the right colors, the right style of furniture, the right artwork to enhance the home's beauty. It sold very quickly, no doubt in part because of their work. Couldn't have been happier with their artfulness, skill, and professionalism.
SPADE AND ARCHER DESIGN AGENCYThank you so much Spade and Archer, I am so grateful for your staging services! I needed staging fast and professional and you guys made it happen! I can't wait to use Spade and Archer again!
