HOW WE WORK
Like editing a beloved book, our process keeps the heart of your story intact—while making space for a new chapter to begin.
Where story. Meets style.
At The Collected Edit, we don’t just stage homes—we thoughtfully edit them. With a deep respect for the life already lived within your walls, we shape each space with care, clarity, and intention. Our approach blends timeless design with emotional insight, helping potential buyers connect to what’s there while imagining what could be.
Every project begins with you—your memories, your milestones, your story. From there, we curate textures, pieces, and layouts that reflect the essence of the home while inviting in fresh possibilities.
Our curated process
ONE
PLANNING + PROPOSAL
A customized staging or styling proposal based on your space, timeline, and budget—edited for maximum impact and emotional connection.
TWO
GATHERING + ORGANIZING
We begin by listening to your story—honouring the memories made while thoughtfully organizing the space for its next chapter.
THREE
CURATION + INSTALLATION
Through thoughtful curation and styling, we refine the space—removing what no longer serves, and layering in pieces that invite warmth, connection, and possibility.
FOUR
THE FINAL
EDIT
With every element in place, we handle the finishing touches to ensure your home is photo-ready, open-house perfect, and prepared to make a lasting impression on its next chapter.
"After 20 years of raising our kids here, saying goodbye felt overwhelming. But Rachel made it feel personal and supported. She didn’t just stage our home—she honoured it. Every space was designed with intention, warm and lived-in, never overdone. It felt like our story was still there, just enough to make room for someone new. Her work isn’t trendy—it’s timeless, thoughtful, and full of heart. I’ll never forget how she helped us turn the page.”
