After relocating to San Diego in 1998, she launched Everything Creative Designs in 2006, turning a passion for transformation into Southern California’s premier luxury staging firm. What began with word-of-mouth referrals and a small storage unit has grown into a thriving business operating out of a 15,000-square-foot warehouse, with up to 110 staged homes at any given time.
Carol’s work has earned national acclaim, including features on HGTV and partnerships with leading publications and organizations such as Architectural Digest, Dream Home Magazine, and the San Diego Association of Realtors. A long-standing board advisor for the Home Staging Redesign Association, she’s been named one of the Top 10 Professional Home Staging Companies and among the Top 5 Best Luxury Home Staging Services of the Year.

OUR MOST POPULAR SERVICES
LAYOUT & SPACE PLANNING
A beautiful room starts with a thoughtful plan. We take the time to truly understand how you live in your space — how you move through it, what you need from it, and how it makes you feel. From there, we create a layout that's not just functional, but feels completely natural. No more awkward furniture arrangements or wasted corners. Just a home that finally works for you.
EXISTING FURNITURE REDESIGN
Your favorite pieces have a story — and they deserve a second chapter. Before you replace anything, let us take a fresh look at what you already own. With a little repositioning, reupholstering, or simply pairing things differently, we can transform what you have into something you fall in love with all over again. It's sustainable, budget-friendly, and deeply personal.
SOURCING & SELECTION
Finding the perfect piece shouldn't feel like a second job. With an extensive network of industry connections and design partners, we do the searching so you don't have to. From furniture to finishes, we know where to look, who to call, and how to get it — bringing you white glove sourcing at a fraction of what you'd expect to pay. You simply share your vision, and we handle everything in between.
