Founded in 2013 by Ann Ridgeway, Mariella Cantando, and Deborah Drljaca. They have over 50 years of combined designing and staging experience.

Staged by 3 is built on their mutual love and passion for great design and real estate. They came together after collaborating on several projects, and quickly realized that their complimentary skills would give rise to a successful venture by offering a customized staging and design service.  

 

"We tell each property’s story through beautiful, engaging, and, artful décor that transforms spaces into finished, welcoming and elegant showcases."

Born and raised in the small French town of Antibes, Mariella brings her European modern eclectic style to clients. She is inspired by french art and architecture, and helps make spaces become a showpiece for potential buyers. She never uses a ‘cookie-cutter’ approach, and matching items bores her to death. She enhances the inside and outside of your home to create just the right feeling that will appeal to potential buyers. She brings a “je ne se quoi” element to make a home stand out.
