About Kim Ausbury, ASP, IDP
co-owner
"At each man's birth there comes into being an eternal vocation for him, expressly for him. To be true to himself in relation to his eternal vocation is the highest thing a man can practice." Kim agrees wholeheartedly with this quote from Soren Kierkegaard.

As a young girl, Kim was always rearranging the furniture in her room, throughout her parent's house and at her grandparent's home. She loved "playing house" which meant, of course, placing each piece of plastic toy furniture, along with accessories, on every level of her Barbie Dream Home.

When Kim grew up and got married, she and her husband found themselves moving every two and a half years and Kim took it upon herself to get each of their homes "ready to sell". Every home sold within a few days of putting them on the market.

A few years ago, Kim was introduced to the interior design concept of "Staging". Is it any wonder her inner child leaped for joy?

After completing the courses necessary to practice as an Accredited Staging Professional, Kim had successfully positioned herself to honor her life values - and Staged for You was created.

Since then, Kim has developed a loyal following through her interior decorating and interior redesign services. Every client is simply "Amazed" at the results that are achieved.

Each day for Kim begins with gratitude because she is truly thankful to be doing what she was created to do!
About Teresa Kratzer, IDS
co-owner

Teresa has always had an affinity for music and the arts. Teresa is someone who thrives in a creative environment. She says she always needs to be "creating" in some capacity or venue.

Over the past 20 years, Teresa has channeled that creative energy and passion into creating and re-creating spaces-whether in her home, for others, or in community arenas such as event planning and decorating for charity events.

Teresa and her family have had the great fortune of living in many different parts of the country. Over the years, because her family was so transient, she has had opportunities to "recreate" and "rearrange" a multitude of her own living spaces with different architectural and regional styles. Teresa has owned and staged eleven homes in 23 years!

At about the same time as Teresa's daughters were approaching college age, home staging and redesign were making their debut as the hottest trend in home design services, along side the tried and true method of traditional interior decorating. Fortunately for Teresa, the skills she refined in her career as a domestic "Diva" and community advocate gave her the skills and expertise needed to be a member of this exciting new field of interior design.

Teresa has always dreamed of owning her own business, which would incorporate her creativity along with her unique approach to decorating. Teresa lives by the motto, "Make it look like a million without spending a million."

Teresa says the most thrilling part of her job is to the see the sheer delight and surprise on our client's face when they see the "finished product" for the first time. It is not just about creating a beautiful space for each homeowner to enjoy, but rather it's helping them realize their own dream home. It is all about getting to know our clients, how they use their spaces and capturing THEIR dream of what it could be... by that time, we've come full circle. By helping them, we have fulfilled our dreams too!
