First time for hubby and me. A friend recommended Barelas. We both had the huevos rancheros deluxe. Excellent choice. Very satisfied. We will definitely be back.

My realtor recommended using Welcome Home Staging and I am so happy with the results. The price was a bit more than I was expecting but they did a great job! They were not cheap or skimpy with the furniture and artwork. The home looked amazing and many people commented on how wonderful the staging was. The house got 17 offers today and I'm sure that it was in part due to the staging. Thank you for a great job.

They have recently staged our home (along with our amazing stager-Laura) with quality, classy pieces that updated our look tenfold. Very cool pieces that can be put together with all types of decor! Thank you!
