Hi friends!
For those of you that don’t me, my name is Johanna and I’m the owner of JOVI FRENCH CREATIVE STUDIO & STAGING. (I swear I’m not yelling, I just like it better in caps)
Anywho, I’ve been doing home staging for a few years now and I’m still madly in love with it! And trust me when I say that I’ve been waiting a very long time to discover what I love to do and figure out how to earn a living doing it.
I love meeting new people, touring properties, and being given the awesome opportunity to transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary homes!
I have the most supportive husband, that’s always there for every new grandiose idea I have and patient with me while I grow up, as well as 2 amazing kids, Connor and Clover, although my mini me, is the only one “pictured” here with me.
We love spending time together, eating at restaurants and cooking out, traveling, and tearing apart our 1950’s cape cod. We’ve got 3 little kitties—Louie, Murray, and Hopper, who, coincidentally also love tearing apart our home.
And when I’m not doing all of the above, I sculpt using homemade paper clay and sell some the items on Etsy.
But it was selling vintage that brought here, strangely enough and helped me learn about visual merchandising, which is basically staging! It also taught me to hone my creative eye for sourcing; guiding me to make thoughtful purchases toward building my beautiful and eclectic staging inventory.
When I was a little girl I wanted to be a singer, then a meteorologist, then an actress, then a nutritionist, and so on…never did I think I’d end up here, but I’m so glad I did. I guess all those hours of HGTV with my mom were subconsciously working behind the scenes 🧡
So I’m curious—what did you want to be when you grew up?
