About Me

My name is Benita Powell but please feel free to call me B. I am a native of Columbus, Ohio and am currently living in a southwestern suburb of Chicago. I service clients in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio.

How I got my start 

One day my niece was preparing to sell her home so she had me review the photos that were going to be used.

I hated them. Let me repeat I hated them!

Without hesitation I packed a bag and hit the road for the 5 1/2 hour long road trip from Chicago to Columbus, Ohio. The next morning my niece, her husband and myself all rolled up our sleeves and got busy. I had them remove all unnecessary items while I organized and rearranged the rooms. That evening I had my nephew take down pictures and paint a few walls while my niece and I went shopping for new lamps, blankets etc. The next day the realtor sent a professional photographer to take pics and the day after that the house hit the market. The potential buyers realtor asked if the house had been staged. My nieces realtor said yes. The buyers realtor said the stager did a beautiful job because the buyers loved it!

Well the positive response to my nieces house from realtors and their clients was all the push I needed to start my own business, Be Staged By B.

I invite you to hire me for your next project. 

I will combine industry standards along with my expertise to help you achieve results you can be proud of.

Please Call. I Can’t wait to meet you!

Great Attention To Detail

“It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.” – John Wooden, Basketball Coach

When staging a home you must remember that sometimes the smallest details can make the biggest impact.  There are of course other things to remember such as the color scheme or scale of the furniture.
