Hello!
We are Tim and Alyssa, we met in 2015 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.
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 intentionally placed, curated from our travels, our treasured go-to vendors, our open-air market scores, and styled to invoke inspiration and connection. We’re here to create spaces that bring people together, because now more than ever, we believe that meaningful human experiences matter most.
Whether staging a home, or setting the table for 40 in our creative lounge, we design spaces to feel welcoming; a place where you want to hang your hat, pull up a chair, and stay awhile.
