Kristen Chiusano

Home Stager and Decorator

Less than a year

Nope, I was born and raised on Long Island. College brought me here. After graduation from Stonehill, I never could give up the New England life. I moved back to NY for a little while but ultimately returned to Boston to start my grown up life.

While working as a teacher, I noticed that my stress relief was interior design. I also began to notice that I was really good at it. I started documenting my new hobby and after getting great feedback and a couple of clients, decided to get certified in home staging, started Kit Easton Designs and turn my passion into a career. It was the best decision I ever made! Kit Easton is a home staging studio in Medford, Ma. We own and store all our own furniture and design pieces right in Medford. We pride ourselves in sourcing from local artist and small shops to support our fellow small businesses and highlight the artisans that makes Boston so special.

Here is a review: Kristen's attention to detail is amazing. She has the ability to turn an empty room into a beautiful space that potential buyers can see themselves turning into their dream home. Kristen's designs are stunning and the furniture and pieces she chooses for each project are carefully curated depending on the location and style of the home. She is consistently working with local artists and small businesses to include their work in her projects, and the transformation that occurs in a space after Kristen designs it is truly stunning. Bonus: not only is she talented, but she's a pleasure to work with! I would highly recommend Kristen and all of the design services she offers through Kit Easton Designs.

Follow your gut. Simple but true. My mother taught me that my intuition rules and I don't owe an explanation beyond that to anyone. However, it comes with the reminder that others don't owe you an explanation for their intuition either. I try to live by both those rules.

James and The Giant Peach. I remember the day I read it as a child (in one day because I couldn't put it down).

Hand written ``To Do Lists``. There is nothing like physically crossing off a task.

I recently had a buyer fly across the country to see a property I staged because they fell in love with the photos!

Honestly, I would tell her to stop trying to get everyone to like her. When I was younger I felt like being liked was the ultimate goal, even being liked by people I didn't like. Now I hope the best for everyone but I spend my time and energy on people who deserve it.

Chasing my children. I wish I had a cool hobby but truthfully I just try to keep up with my 1 and 4 year old and when they go to sleep I drink wine and watch trash television.

I am an 80's music junkie. I try to stay hip and young but after hours of childhood sing alongs in my mom's car my actual favorite band is The Cure.
