Before Karen Post started showing her design work on
HGTV, she staged a condo she owned in Tampa in
order to rent it. When it leased for 33% more than
she and her husband expected, they formed Home
Frosting, a company that offers both luxury staging and full
interior design services.
Her success in home design and real estate packaging
was no surprise after a career working with luxury fashion
brands as a visual merchandiser, and later as a branding
author and international professional speaker. Karen is a
fanatic about aesthetics and believes marketing plays a big
role in the entire residential dwelling and selling experience.
Home Frosting decorated the interior of this
custom home with a strong earthy, organic look
by using natural woven fibers, wood elements,
leather, wicker and burlap to create a relaxed
environment. Everything was designed for
comfort from the cushy sofas to the upholstered
dining chairs.
