Tinley Business Prepares Homes for a Tough Market
Elle M Staging works to meet clients' design needs, owners said.
Laura M. Kennedy and Lori M. Jenen turned the pitfalls of the weak economy and housing market into a profitable business that helps homeowners.
Elle M. Staging — a play on the owners’ names — specializes in preparing homes to be sold. With a combined 10 years of design experience, the owners specialize in replacing the hard wood of for-sale signs with the jingle of keys to new homeowners.
Attention to detail is one of the many services the Tinley-based company boasts. Kennedy and Jenen said they often use new floor plans, updated paints, different lighting, furniture arraignments and fixtures to highlight a property. They are experts at clearing clutter and designing homes.
