“If you could do anything, what would it be?” Without hesitation, I replied, “I’ve always loved design, and I think it would be amazing to work in that field.”
At the time, Tyler had just started his real estate career and quickly noticed a unique opportunity. Home staging options in Chico and the surrounding areas were limited, leaving a gap in the market. Together, we saw the chance to combine our skills, creativity, and

meaningful. And just like that, Chico Charm Staging & Design was born.

Our Story: How Chico Charm Staging & Design Began

In 2016, I found myself at a crossroads. I had just stepped away from a career I thought would define my life and felt unsure of what to do next. One evening, my husband, Tyler, asked me a simple yet life-changing question: 

After his birth, I stepped away from my full-time job to focus on raising Roman and running our business. For two years, we balanced parenthood and work with our flexible schedules. When Roman started daycare, I finally had the mental space to fully dedicate myself to Chico Charm Staging & Design.
Since then, the growth has been incredible. Although we’ve been in business since 2016, it feels like a fresh start—one informed by years of hard work, lessons learned, and milestones achieved. I’m so proud of what Tyler and I built from the ground up.





 

We specialize in staging homes that sell faster and for top dollar by creating inviting spaces that resonate with buyers.
Thank you for being part of our journey. I can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes us!

With a business plan in hand, we approached my grandparents with a pitch and a request for $9,000 to invest in our idea. The funds allowed us to purchase inventory for our first two homes, cover startup costs, and earn my staging certification. To stretch every dollar, I sourced second-hand furniture and refinished it myself—learning to paint, sand, and stain along the way.
In the early days, we balanced multiple jobs. I worked as a long-term substitute admin assistant, while Tyler focused on growing his real estate business. We staged homes in the evenings and on weekends, often working late into the night.

Every penny we earned went straight back into the business, allowing us to slowly expand our inventory while remaining frugal and resourceful.
It wasn’t the conventional way to start a business, but it worked for us. We were determined, and that determination paid off.
By 2020, Chico Charm Staging & Design had grown steadily. But then COVID-19 hit, bringing unexpected challenges—and blessings. The quarantine forced me to slow down after years of working two full-time jobs while trying to grow our family. With time to rest and reset, I became pregnant with our son, Roman.
