In the Houston - Galveston area, Redesign Etc can help by staging your occupied home or providing rental accessories such as home décor items and furniture for vacant or model homes.

Actual Client Testimonials "Cindy, we cannot thank you enough for your help. After having our house on the market for 2 months with several showings but no second showings, we were starting to wonder what was wrong with our house! We feel like, in addition to our price reduction, your decorative touches and redesign were just what we needed to get the ball rolling. The weekend following the changes we had an open house with fabulous feedback. Two offers came in the following week and we were able to get our list price! On a side note, I love the changes we made and have incorporated them into our decor in the new house. Can't wait to get you to help me with decorating the new house! Thank you again for everything!" Christi in West University Place As a Realtor, our capacity to sell a vacant home for top dollar can sometimes be challenging. Usually, homes that are empty feel very cold and abandoned. Most buyers need to envision the home as it were their own, and visualize the house with its fullest potential. That's why Cindy, and her company is such a great asset to our clients. Her staging services provide the opportunity to maximize a home's potential, while increasing the perceived value. In turn, helping us sell homes much faster, and for a lot more money. Cindy, thanks for all you've done, and I look forward to working with you on many more homes! Thai Klam-Remax Signature Properties I just wanted take a minute to say thank you for all your help in staging my home. The average days on market in my neighborhood was 45-50 days and my home sold in under 30 days. I received complement after complement on how beautiful the house showed. I couldn't have done it without you. Many thanks. Rob in Spring, Texas Thank you for staging my home. You installed furniture, pictures, plants, ornaments, & etc very quickly, and everything was tasteful and imaginative. It made the house so much more appealing compared with its former empty state. At the end of the contract, everything was removed with equal efficiency. I was very happy with the entire service. Best Regards, Peter in The Heights, Houston, Texas Cindy, Our house is showing really well. We are getting rave reviews from all that have seen it.  In just 2 weeks we’ve had 9 showings and …our realtor says that it will sell before the first month is over. Our house really does look amazing.  I wish I had used you to decorate it years ago.  We could have enjoyed it so much more. [14-Days Later] Wanted to let you know that we got a full price offer yesterday…we sold it!!! Thank you so much. I KNOW it is from all the hard work you did getting it set up so beautifully!!! So Very Grateful. Lisa in League City, Texas We listed our home during one of the worst seller’s markets in Houston in many years. Our home sat for five months with very few showings, so we decided to try “home staging” which we had seen featured on several home shows, so we contracted with Cindy to stage our home. Wow – what an experience! Working with Cindy Bryant at Redesign Etc., Inc. was the best decision we made when selling our home. Cindy came to the house and gave us many suggestions on how to make it warm, inviting, and appealing to a broad range of prospective buyers. Our competition in the area was new homebuilders, and our home was 10 years old. When Cindy got done with our home, it looked brand new and showed like a model. We sold within 30 days! We cannot begin to express what a pleasure it was to work with Cindy – she is a real professional and a sweetheart as well. Don’t waste time, like we did at the beginning, stage your home before you try to sell. It is well worth the minimal investment. Jennifer & Guy in Spring, Texas Feedback on our house [before staging] went from: Home did not show well; too much furniture makes home look very small; interior decor was a turnoff; to [after staging] Nice staging; this was the #1 house we saw in this price range; great house! Selling a house is very stressful, but staging was a positive experience. There is no doubt in my mind that I will stage every house that I sell and I will strongly recommend staging to anyone considering putting their house on the market. The small upfront investment made a mediocre house look like a model home that is inviting to all. Cindy was extremely helpful and you could tell she takes great pride in her work, and for good reason. Brett in League City, Texas
