Hollywood Regency Celebrity Estate

Meridith Baer Home Staged the Former House of Judy Garland and Sammy Davis Jr.

The Hollywood Hills are rich with show business history.

It’s not uncommon to find homes in the area with multiple celebrity owners over time, dating back to Tinseltown’s classic days.

We recently staged one of these storied properties: a hillside house above the Sunset Strip designed and built in 1941 by architect-to-the-stars John Elgin Woolf.

The property was occupied in the mid-1940s by actress-singer Judy Garland, her husband, film and stage director Vincente Minnelli, and their daughter, Liza Minnelli. It was later sold to Rat Pack entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. and during his stay, musical acts such as the Band also lived and recorded there.

We styled the property with a midcentury transitional feel, evoking its history of creativity and cool.

We staged the listing for Alexandra Pfeifer, Berkshire Hathaway.

The house is a Los Angeles Times Hot Property this week:

Meridith Baer Home Staged the 2020 GRAMMY Awards

Meridith Baer Home staged the GRAMMY Awards for our second straight year, furnishing the dressing rooms for host Alicia Keys and this year’s showcase musical performers!

Building on last year’s success, we designed all the artists’ spaces with their unique style and character in mind, making sure each was comfortable, functional, and beautiful.

Alicia Keys

For the evening’s host, we created a bold, elegant space with extra seating for visitors and guests. A monochrome palette with gold, fur, and geometric accents lent the room an earthy glamour, complementing the R&B icon’s personal aesthetic.

Ariana Grande

We wanted the pop singer’s dressing room to feel girly and flirty, yet still refined. Grey, pink, and cream hues made the space feel feminine while a plush faux fur rug and mirrored coffee tables brought chic elegance to the space.

Staging Altos Del Mar, the “Highlands of the Sea” in Miami Beach

Miami Beach is one of the world’s most popular coastal resort cities, known for its international cachet with models and celebrities.

At the city’s highest point, directly on the beach, lies the exclusive gated community of Altos Del Mar, “Highlands of the Sea.”

The oceanfront enclave is just minutes from Bal Harbour, home to some of the most famed boutiques and fine dining in Miami. Founded back in 1919, it boasts a mix of historic Mediterranean houses and stunning newly built contemporary properties.

Altos Del Mar

Our latest showcase home in South Florida is one of those new developments: a custom designed, three bedroom, open floor plan house with double height ceilings, glass walls providing incomparable light, and a private rooftop deck from which to take in the ocean views.

Altos Del Mar

We styled the home with crisp, sophisticated transitional flair, with chrome and leather accents and bold art complementing its contemporary elegance. Sectioning its great room into distinct living and dining areas, we aimed to show potential buyers how they might make best use of the space.READ MORE

Naples Home Staging Testimonial

Naples Home Staging Testimonial

We recently received this glowing testimonial about our Relationship Manager, Cami, and Designer, Sarah, from a valued home staging client in Naples:

Cami is a DREAM to work with.

On the recommendation from a fellow realtor, I called Cami and requested to meet at our spec home in Park Shore to see if we might be able to work together. The home is a beautiful new construction build, but was about 25% furnished and just wasn’t showing as well as it could. Cami walked me through the entire process of staging with Meridith Baer—she assured me that she would take care of everything and would work efficiently with one intention in mind: to help us sell the home. That was all I needed to hear!

A week later, Cami joined the designer (Sarah W. from California, also amazing!!) at the home to completely transform it from semi-furnished to absolutely gorgeous and finished. The furniture and artwork selected for the staging is cohesive with the finishes and style of the home, which is so important to us in terms of showing the true potential of our listing.

Our team looks forward to working together again in the future—thank you Cami and Sarah for your incredible hard work and amazing results!!

Compass Real Estate Testimonial

We received this wonderful testimonial about our designer, Jennifer, and Relationship Manager, Mary, from Melanie Sommers of Compass Real Estate, after staging one of her listings in the sought after Via Bluffs area of Pacific Palisades, CA!

Dear Meridith,

I wanted to reach out and let you know how over the top happy my clients and I are with the job Jennifer Lane did. Mary is always a total delight to work with, this was my first time with Jennifer and she is stellar.

The house is beautiful, but she made it really stunning and heard us completely on what we did and did not want.

The house sold with multiple offers within the first week, I look forward to many more jobs with Mary and Jennifer. I have had dozens (literally) of agents ask who did the fab staging.

All my best,
Mel
