We appreciate the kind words received in the reviews and testimonials from our happy clients.
Marilyn staged 2 homes for us last spring..and let me tell you…what a transformation..beautiful! Marilyn went through the houses with her sharp eye and attention to detail, made suggestions for decluttering, painting and then came in with her amazing assortment of decor and furniture and let the magic happen..we couldn’t believe how our homes were transformed! I truly believe she is the reason we were able to sell so quickly and well over asking price…not only is Marilyn excellent at what she does, she is very easy to work with and just a super nice person! I have worked with Marilyn for several years and have always known her to be professional, driven and detail-oriented. Her care and respect for her clients is evident - always putting them first. Some people will go the extra mile for others, Marilyn lives there. I would recommend working with Marilyn without hesitation. I contacted Heart and Home Staging with a tight staging timeline, and Marilyn and Ruth went above and beyond. Their stunning decor and attention to detail undoubtedly played a key role in our home selling within just 4 days. Their expertise made all the difference! Marilyn and her team did an excellent job staging our house prior to us listing it for sale. Marilyn provided clear guidance about how we should prepare for staging and was quick to respond to questions. She had creative and thoughtful solutions and took great care in making sure each room was perfect. We are so thankful for her expertise and know that we wouldn’t have had as successful a sale without her help. I hired Marilyn @ Heart and Home to help me with colour selections and just general design choices. Then, recently, when we were selling our home, I hired her to stage our home for the sale. We were delighted when we were offered 40k over asking price. If you are contemplating hiring Marilyn for any of her services, I assure you, you will not be disappointed. She is talented, personable, professional and so incredibly gifted at what she does. I’m already planning to hire her to help select colours and design for our new home! Marilyn, we loved all of your design and paint suggestions and look forward to working with you again. Thank you for everything!

Marilyn Brophy stages homes to appeal to potential buyers and she does a fantastic job. My house is always clean and uncluttered but she made it the best on the planet. She removes regular decorations and replaces them with fantastic ones that she owns and shares. She is so creative, her decorations are breathtaking. A video was created and I couldn't believe it was my house. Really. As I watched I was stunned. Every view elicited a 'WOW'. I shared it with friends and family and they unanimously said, "I want that house." On the very first showing a couple bought it and paid full asking price.
