We are Tim and Alyssa, we met while both pursuing our creative passions in art and design. Tim was working building sets in the Restoration Hardware photo studio for catalog shoots before he was hired on as a staging designer at the staging and design firm where Alyssa was a lead stager. After years of staging side by side together, we decided it was time to take the leap to start our own brand of home staging, and so Mint Staging was born in 2017. Now, almost a decade later, we have rebranded to align with our company growth and with the vision we have created for the future of our brand: Mint is now Awhile, a curated brand that encompasses both our expert staging and hosting offerings.
HELLO!
Awhile is the friend with excellent taste, who knows how to light a room, layer a table, and make it feel like it was always meant to be that way. We don’t do default. Everything we touch is intentional, emotional, and quietly bold. We’re not interested in spectacle—we’re here to create space for connection. Whether staging a home or setting the table for 40 in our event studio, we lead with intuition and edit with care.
