We were two women who met in the aftermath of tragedies- Laura had recently lost her life savings and was living in a friend’s basement while her family slowly rebuilt; Trinity’s house had burnt down three years prior while she was 39 weeks pregnant with her 4th child, catalyzing a move across the country from Virginia to Colorado. Out of shared stories of loss, we decided to partner each other into hope. We took a risk and started a pop-up shop in a studio in Trinity’s backyard because we believed in two things:

• everyone deserves access to experiences of beauty

• your home is meant to nurture your soul

That was the soil that birthed TroveCollective, our woman-owned and woman-run grassroots business that has grown into Northern Colorado’s premiere staging company and now includes a full-service interior design firm specializing in design consultations, redesign and buying services for design clients.

We considered ourselves guides, finding joy in helping our clients realize their goals: whether that's getting top dollar for your property, finding the home of your dreams, or creating a home that truly reflects who you are and how you want to live.

We wanted to help alleviate the vulnerability and stress often present when it comes to home selling, home buying, and home remodeling so that you can focus on the fun part: living your best life!

Some other things that set us apart:

• during our 5 years in business, we staged over 200 homes

• whenever possible, we used items that already had a history, both to achieve a storied design look and to minimize our environmental impact.

• We owned all of our goods and sourced things from all over the country.

• We loved to partner with local artists and showcase their work in our homes.

• In the competitive Northern Colorado market, our staged homes sold faster and for more money, often above asking price; they looked better in print and internet media, and they appraised for more money.
