Hi! Welcome back to The Interior Collective - I’m your host, Anastasia Casey! Today, I’m excited to welcome Jason Saft, the mastermind behind Staged to Sell Home, a company that has transformed over $3 billion in luxury homes since its official founding in2016, but Jason’s been staging as a passion project since 2005. With an impressive background of more than 20 years in real estate sales and staging, Jason brings a unique perspective on what it means to craft interiors that are both aspirational and functional. Known for his contemporary, curatorial style and unwavering commitment to producing results, Jason has earned accolades for his work, including features in the Wall Street Journal, Architectural Digest, and more.

For Jason, great design isn’t a straight line—it’s about balancing artistry and intent, creating spaces that captivate buyers and maximize value. Because I truly do believe there is no single way to run a successful design business, I’m thrilled to chat with Jason about how he has forged his own path in luxury staging, standing out as both a respected business owner and creative visionary. Jason’s approach is anything but conventional, and his 98% success rate speaks for itself.

Today, we’re diving into Jason’s methods for making luxury staging stand out, exploring everything from his business model and inventory curation to timelines and the decisions behind staging versus full-service design. And we’re especially excited to catch up because not only is Jason an IDCO Studio client, he is also a past attendee of our own Design Camp—so much so that he sent his team to the very next session!

Join us as we explore how Jason combines expertise, intentionality, and market knowledge to elevate homes and help buyers envision their dream lives.

Welcome back to The Interior Collective - a podcast for the business of beautiful living! I’m your host, Anastasia Casey, and I couldn’t be more thrilled for today’s episode because it’ll be a masterclass in social media authenticity AND strategy. Today, I’m joined by my dear friend Chloe Legras of Boxwood Avenue Interiors. For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of diving into Chloe’s world yet, you’re in for a treat. She’s the visionary behind the stunning interiors and lifestyle brand Boxwood Avenue—a brand that effortlessly combines luxury design with the art of intentional, slow living.

Chloe and I have been friends for years - we actually met at The Haven Workshop years ago and stayed close since. I’ve even had the privilege of attending her retreats abroad—experiences that were truly life-changing. This past May I attended Boxwood Abroad in the Cotswolds and it truly was the trip of a lifetime. Well, until next September when I attend Boxwood Abroad in Provence. Those retreats have given me a firsthand look at Chloe’s passion for honoring heritage, simplicity, and the beauty of old-world charm alongside Chloe’s joy for life that extends way beyond beautiful interiors.

Today, she’s here to share her approach to balancing a luxury design business with a lifestyle brand that celebrates the everyday. We’ll get into the nitty-gritty of her social media strategy–particularly over the last year, how she connects with her followers so authentically, and her secrets for building a brand that high-budget design clients are genuinely excited to be part of. I mean this in the most genuine way possible - get ready to dive in because this is Chloe’s world and I feel just so lucky to be living in it.

Welcome to another episode of The Interior Collective podcast - a podcast for the business of beautiful living! Today, we're diving into a fascinating conversation with one of Austin's most sought-after interior designers and someone who has truly transformed my life, Audrey Scheck. You know, we often hear the advice to say "no" to many things to make room for the right ones. But Audrey has taken a different path—one that embraces a resounding "yes" to projects of all sizes.

As the founder and principal designer of Audrey Scheck Design, Audrey has built an incredible reputation for transforming residential and commercial spaces into warm, inviting environments. Her projects are a testament to her unique approach, blending diverse materials and the charm of both old and new to create designs that are not just beautiful but also deeply livable.

Audrey’s journey has been nothing short of inspiring. From her childhood days watching her parents build their dream home in rural Texas to remodeling her own home in Los Angeles, she has always had a passion for design. Now, after moving back to Texas in 2020, she's established herself as a leading designer, with her work featured in esteemed publications like Martha Stewart, Better Homes & Gardens, and Forbes.

What I find particularly special about Audrey is her genuine networking ability and her generous spirit. What began as a simple "can I buy you lunch?" inquiry has blossomed into one of my closest friendships. Her approach to saying yes—not just to projects but to people—has not only propelled her business forward but has also enriched her life and the lives of those around her.

When I was deep in the weeds growing IDCO Studio and The Interior Collective, I was a definite homebody with a false sense of community via my remote team and Instagram friendships. I’d developed a notable level of social anxiety and thought I was perfectly content. After Audrey invited me to lunch, she instantly invited me to a small girl group of fellow designers and artists - with the likes of Claire Brody and Aileen Fitzgerald for monthly dinner dates. That group, and Audrey’s friendship, changed my life. Audrey refused to let us make excuses for getting together, and made sure we were all, always included. I can say with certainty that Audrey Scheck absolutely changed my life and helped turn me into a more confident, healthy person who can balance and prioritize both digital friendships and friendships in real life as well.

In this episode, we'll explore how Audrey’s mindset of inclusivity and opportunity has shaped her business and her team, leading to remarkable success in such a short time. We'll also discuss how embracing all types of projects has led to her rapid growth and how she navigates the sometimes-competitive landscape of interior design with a collaborative spirit.

So, join us as we learn from Audrey’s journey and discover how saying "yes" can lead to extraordinary transformations in both our businesses and our relationships.
