Final Touch Designs - Roanoke VA Home Stager

About Us

I love planting colorful flowers and getting in the dirt.

Our Mission

Our goal is to provide homeowners with sustainable concepts and ideas that will help them beautifully showcase their homes to live in or to sell. We provide sensible ideas to help everyone re-use, re-purpose, re-define, and re-design individual interior spaces. We believe that honesty and quality produces successful, long-lasting relationships with our clients and our community.

Final Touch Designs became a corporation in 2008. I have always been interested in Interior Design and Redesign since I was young. I lived in Arizona for my elementary and high school years where my parents and I would spent many weekends walking through model homes. Remember those great looking models that almost every home development company had? I would sneak around when the agents were busy and take photos of things I liked and things that intrigued me. Throughout the years I've used those ideas to help family, friends and neighbors construct and style the interiors of their homes and offices. Both talents require an excellent creative eye which I seem to have been blessed with naturally. I've taken a number of ID classes over the past 6 years which convinced me that this is the direction I'd like to pursue as a career. Once our three children finally decided to be on their own, I was able to pursue my dreams and create a business around what I truly love to do. Final Touch Designs is the icing on the cake – the final touch before selling your home or the final touch to defining your personality within your home. We not only help people create the atmosphere they desire, but we also provide a lot of training in mastering different techniques. Contact us for more information. History: I grew up in Arizona then moved to Alaska and stayed for 20 years where my three children were born and raised. I have always had a love for design and a creative eye for anything that evolves around designing and using my hands. I have painted murals on walls, helped to build houses and decks, made beaded jewelry, made clothing for people and dolls of all sized, made tapestry purses, quilts, cushions, curtains, created holiday decor,.... and even raced cars! I love all art mediums....... a "Jane of all trades". I've been very fortunate in that whatever I put my hands to creatively, I succeed at. One of my passions has always been to teach. I owned and operated a Preschool for 9 years while my children were growing up -- yes, they had to endure Mom as teacher. I've held many workshops on topics such as Attention Deficit Disorder, Behavioral Modification, Identifying Learning Disabilities, Learning to Listen, and Identifying Learning & Modality Strengths in Children. I've begun a number of networking & national chapter groups to ensure that all children receive the help and support they need in our school systems and family units. I've presented a number of computer training workshops and I'm currently teaching people to learn more about sustainable living, becoming better consumers, organizers, and making their homes a better, more comfortable place to live. I hope you'll join us in one or more of our classes. Final Touch Designs goes GREEN: My passion for sustainable living began while growing up in Arizona. Everyone had to learn to conserve water and electricity. It just became a natural habit. When living in Alaska, my daughter Jennifer won a $2000 scholarship for her elementary school during a "Juice Box Scholarship Contest" where she had to present a way to conserve or protect our wildlife. To this day, she is my inspiration when it comes to conserving. Through the years we have creatively come up with various ways to reuse, redefine, rethink, rework, and relearn how we use things around us. Helping others to take what they have and give new purpose to ordinary things is an exhilarating experience. You don't "plan" these things out, the ideas spur from taking an item and turning it in all directions and questioning where else and how else it can be used. This works hand in hand with my business goals and passions. My goals for this business is to have it flourish and evolve as each new and different project brings new dimensions and experiences to the business as a whole. When working directly with people, we all have input into the decisions made. All of us brainstorm, learn, laugh, and become amazed as we create. This makes my contribution to the families in our community a rich reward in the end. My motto is very simple: We only have a short period of time to live on this small marble we call earth. Why not really enjoy life by doing what we love most. We should surround ourselves with lots of color, great food, beautiful things, laughter, and good positive people, as much as we possibly can. We should always keep our minds focused on the future and realize how our actions today affect the planet and its people tomorrow. Of course we should also be conservative and economical in our dreams and goals as not to over indulge. We can all make a difference in the future of our planet earth. We have to start now to spread the word AND the practice of creatively restructuring our thinking process. I'd love to help you get started or help you to continue to make a difference. It begins with the power of one......YOU!
