"Staging is the way of the future! I am looking forward to working with First Stage on more of my listings. The results were exceptional! Without your efforts this property would have taken another price reduction and who knows how many more months to sell. Thanks for getting the job done in such a timely and professional manner." Natasha Koch, Realtor, Downtown Nanaimo
We asked First Stage Transformations to assist us with a complete
renovation of our mudroom. As active horse owners we needed a well
thought out design which would maximize our limited space, be durable and
accessible, and still fit with our decor. Ilona helped with the design,
identified and closely supervised a local contractor to complete the job
quickly and within budget. Throughout the process Ilona did a great job
of keeping us informed each step of the way. First Stage Transformations
did a great job, and with Ilona's cost conscious and diligent approach we
would not hesitate to work with her company again in the future.

A relative came into the house and walked around going OMG, OMG. this is so incredible. We could and would not have done this without you...that is a fact.
Take care. Karen, Nanaimo
By the way, I was over on the island recently and popped in to the suite. It looks marvellous! Well done. Thanks, Ilona. You did a fantastic job, and I would be glad to recommend your services to anyone. All the best, Justin, Vancouver
"Working with First Stage has been a real pleasure. The colour recommendations seemed rather startling but the paint went up and looks great! This has been such a good experience that we expect to consult a decorator when we get into our new home." Leslie and Ray Brown, home owners, Lantzville
"Wow, you really did some magical genius here! As you know people these days buy with their eyes and staging is the single most important thing in listing a property to get top dollar in today’s very competitive
Just a note to Thank You Ilona for the most fun experience of staging our home! My knowledge of what to expect when I called you was limited to TV shows but to our amazement you two transformed an empty house into a welcoming, warm home! Just as good as on TV. We followed your helpful suggestions on painting the kitchen and installing a new back door. Now you can see the woods and the kitchen looks bigger! What a difference! We are totally grateful for all your input. It's been a joy working with you – you’ve proven to be not only helpful but leave me feeling like I've gained a friend! You are a perfect example of what a business personality should be! Thank-you once again for your advice and talent… the house looks the best it has ever looked!" Marlene and Norm Paquette, home owners,
"I absolutely LOVE my room. It looks like it’s right out of a magazine. Thank-you so very much it is beautiful and exactly what I wanted. I am looking forward to having you finish my entire house…" Natasha Koch, home owner,
"The transformation brought out all of the great selling points of our home, the size of the rooms, and showed how future decoration is possible. We sold our home to the first person that saw it. That would not have been possible without First Stage Transformations. We were very pleased with the work! Cliff and Marlene Clarke, home owners,
