What our clients say about us

Excellent job! The house looked great and I am certain the staging Rooms in Bloom provided played a big role in the quick sale of my house (it SOLD in less than 1 week and for over asking). Alana was excellent to dea with. She clearly knew how to show the home in it's best light and was always easy to get a hold of and prompted to return emails and phone calls. I highly recommend Rooms in Bloom!
