At the beginning, it was a tree and plant rental service that provided staging for empty houses for sale. This staging included softening corner areas, accenting focal points, adding a splash of color and elegance to important features of these homes. Then, we did home staging on a showcase home for a designer using an unusually colorful and fragrant tree not typically placed in a home’s interior.
Another designer was drawn to this work and as a result, requested our services staging an estate home in Atherton that was up for sale. He challenged us to work with orchids in large arrangements in the home. The large Orchid arrangements we designed for the home in Atherton caught the attention of a young woman who only did Estate Homes. She asked us to work with her under her name exclusively. Of course, we accepted and worked with her for several years. People began to recognize the quality of work we provided, but did not know it was our work under our company brand of Tree Temp’s. Circumstances changed back in the 1990’s when the stock market dropped drastically. We once again were free to operate under our own name with any agents, designers or homeowners who requested our services. Radiance Interiorscapes now adds a new light to this venture. Words spoken by a close friend and family member now add a new dimension to carry forward. Word of mouth and exposure in the home-staging arena has successfully promoted our business. We use floral arrangements with bromeliads and orchids, then brought in large trees as tall as 7’ to 8’ when desirable. We personally perform most of the work ourselves. It is thrilling for us to see the effects of large displays on a room, as these provide a hugging effect when you enter the room.
