Celebrating our members! Here's a message from Chloe at Bespoke Staging NI.

As we approach our second birthday this month, I've been looking back over the past couple of years and honestly... what a journey it's been.

Being nominated last year for a Women in Business Award for Best New Startup was a real "pinch me" moment, and this year being a finalist at the Ards Business Awards has made it feel even more surreal. Add to that being featured in ELLE magazine, and it's safe to say I'm still processing it all.

What started as a simple love for interiors and styling has grown into something I'm really proud of, from staging homes across NI to styling weddings and events, meeting amazing clients and building Bespoke Staging NI into what it is today.

There have definitely been late nights, coffee-fuelled mornings, overloaded car trips and a mild cushion obsession along the way, but I wouldn't change it.

I'm so grateful to every single person who has supported, recommended, shared or trusted Bespoke Staging NI over the last couple of years. It genuinely means the world.

Excited for everything still to come.
