About Tamara Grant
For Tamara Grant, one of the parts of working in the design field she enjoys the most is getting to know her clients on a personal level. Learning about their families and interests helps her to make each project different and customized to their needs. For her, assisting clients to turn their home into their dream home is the most rewarding feeling at the end of the project.
Tamara Grant’s love for colour, patterns, texture and fashion has undoubtedly helped her succeed with her clients. She can combine trendy new items with artifacts or furniture pieces a client may already have to complete the end look for the client. Opting for a bright hue or experimental prints doesn’t scare her!
Always having an aesthetic eye for design, Tamara has been personally involved with several renovations and new construction projects throughout her career. She loves the process of a project, from the collaboration of ideas on paper to the fruition of the end product.

Tamara is accredited through USC Ultimate Stager Academy, TCSS™ The Certified Successful Stager™; she obtained her Recognition of Achievement from Seneca College after finishing Personal Organizing, Colour Theory, and Home Staging courses. In November of 2016, Tamara was a highlighted panelist representing Canada on the LeverageUp Entrepreneur Success Panel in New York City at the Intercontinental Hotel in Times Square.
She has most recently earned her Eco-Stager Certification with The C.S.P. International™ Business Training Academy. Her experience of making a home ready for sale, fresh ideas of achieving the proposed references and the passion for showcasing each home in its best light makes the investment in home staging with Tamara Grant worth it!

Maria R. Marrello USC™ - Home Staging Associate
My name is Maria and I am Certified in Home Staging, ReDesign, Decorating, Professional Organizing and I am also a Certified Benjamin Moore Colour Consultant. My passion for Interior Styling came to me very early on in life. I also have a background in business, I co-owned an office supplies company for 11 years. The passion for decorating started with my first home and progressed over the years through design and renovations. I purchased a fixer upper in the charming Town of Niagara on the Lake, Ontario in 2016 and am currently a resident. Renovating that home inspired me to start my own business and home decor line. The Charming House and The Charming House Collection were established in 2019 and 2020, which I am most proud of. I see the potential in every property I stage and add that charm it needs. The best part is seeing my vision come to light and the transformation is better than what I imagined! -

I am originally from Egypt, where I worked as a radiologist. My attention for details fostered through years of medical school and working in this field has always fed into my passion for interior design and home decor. I decided to follow my passion when I moved to Canada and completed my certification, becoming a certified home stager. This enhanced my existing staging skills that I have used when decorating my daughters’ and friends’ homes. Together with this team of stagers, I have done work in Mississauga and Hamilton and can’t wait to see where I’ll work next. My goal is to make your house someone else’s dream home. -
