Locusts & Wild Honey is a full-service turnkey property preparation company specializing in home staging, interior design, short-term rental design, and listing hospitality. Services range from consultations to complete property preparation, including painting, repairs, deep cleaning, cabinetry refreshes, fixture and hardware updates, Warmth Staging™, and full-service staging.

Warmth Staging™ is my signature approach to preparing a home without the expense of traditional furniture staging. Every listing includes thoughtfully selected artwork, lighting, textiles, greenery, and finishing touches that help a property feel inviting, lived-in, and photogenic while showcasing its existing character.

Not always. Many homes don't require a complete furniture installation to make a strong first impression. I'll recommend the level of preparation that best serves your property and budget, whether that's consultation, Warmth Staging™, occupied staging, or full-service staging.

I work with owner-occupied homes, vacant listings, investment properties, short-term rentals, model homes, and residential interior design projects throughout the Twin Cities.

Absolutely. Listing hospitality goes beyond decorating. I can coordinate or complete many of the improvements that help a property show at its best, including painting, flooring updates, fixture replacement, cabinetry refreshes, plumbing repairs, deep cleaning, and other property preparation services.

Yes! I love partnering with Realtors, brokers, investors, and homeowners to prepare listings for market. My goal is to become a trusted extension of your team, helping properties present beautifully while respecting both timelines and budgets.

Yes. If you're unsure where to begin, I offer consultations that identify the highest-impact improvements for your property. I'll help you prioritize updates that maximize appeal without overspending.

Yes. While much of my work focuses on preparing homes for sale, I also design homes people plan to live in. My philosophy is rooted in creating functional beauty that reflects the people who inhabit the space.

I believe every home has untapped potential. Rather than defaulting to expensive renovations or full furniture staging, I look for thoughtful, strategic improvements that maximize both beauty and return on investment. My approach was shaped by preparing my late mother's home for sale during probate—a deeply personal experience that taught me the importance of stewarding not just a property, but the memories and lives connected to it.

Locusts & Wild Honey proudly serves Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and the surrounding Twin Cities metro.

We'll walk through your property together, discuss your goals, and identify opportunities to improve presentation, functionality, and marketability. You'll leave with a clear understanding of recommended improvements, available service options, and the next steps for your project.
