Sinead was recommended to me for the staging of ‘Grasmere’, a large Victorian property I recently developed in Foxrock. As it needed to be finished to the high standards of prospective buyers it was important that she used furniture one would except to find in homes in Foxrock.  She even had a dining suite hand built to her own design for one of the rooms.  Sinead exceeded all expectations and Grasmere has since featured in Ireland’s Homes Interiors and Living magazine, a testament to Sinead's talent. I look forward to working with Sinead on future projects.”

Upstage were commissioned by Beech Tree Properties to fit and furnish a new show house in their small upmarket development known as‘Hainault’ Foxrock, Dublin 18.  The project took 7 weeks to complete from start to finish.  The initial brief was agreed including the colour palette and general style. Upstage then organised the entire furniture fit out including paint colours, fabrics, lighting, furniture and artwork.  Furniture was specially designed and made to measure.  The final result is a show house magazine perfect which has been much admired and drawing impressive reactions from those who have seen it.”

“Sinead has worked with Sherry Fitzgerald for many years and clients who have chosen Upstage to stage their properties are never disappointed.  A well-staged property greatly enhances its attractiveness to potential buyers as it shows it at its very best.  Having seen the magnificent outcome of properties transformed by Upstages I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone thinking of putting their house on the market.”

“I have been using the services of Sinead Considine for many years - well before her setting up of ‘Upstage’. It was easy to see she would go from strength to strength as she is the consummate professional and easy to work with. Sinead basically has great taste - a superb selection of furnishings to suit every style and era of property and has never failed to deliver our clients with the ‘Wow’ finish.
Always a delight to recommend.”

“I have recommended the services of Upstage many times to my clients and the feedback has always been that Sinead and her team are exceptionally professional. They always go the extra mile to create the best impression taking into account the clients taste and budget. I would highly recommend them both from an interior design perspective and also in relation to staging houses for sale.”

”I’m always so excited to see Sinead’s next new Property.  I love her style, her work is very fresh and very us.  We have featured four of her properties in both The White Book and The Book of Interiors. The latest Upstage project will feature in our much anticipated September 2008 edition.

“I approached Sinead Considine of Upstage to oversee the Interior Design of our home.  I knew her style and attention to detail was perfect to achieve what we wanted.  As a direct result, our home has undergone many editorial features as well as on my Home Interiors show, 'Finishing Touches'.  We adore our home interiors and are thrilled we assigned Sinead. The difference between Sinead and others in her profession is that she understands what you like, what the house needs and where to find it therefore achieving outstanding results.”

“Having used other staging companies in the past, since dealing with Upstage there is simply no comparison to the high standard and quality of their work. Upstage was involved in my last four developments.  The last two Sinead was involved from the outset, designing all interior and lighting aspects. When complete, both houses looked magnificent and were featured in the White Book and Book of Interiors. This coverage gave me great profile when selling the houses, in turn achieving substantially more that I had expected.
I believe in the necessity of staging and with Upstage your money is well invested.”
