Get to Know the Owner
Meet Michelle Garceau, owner of Divine Design Staging & Interior Decorating. With a rich background in construction, demolition and project management, I've always had a passion for transforming spaces. This experience gave me a strong foundation for understanding spaces and transformations. My journey into the world of staging and interior decorating was inspired by my many years of owning a catering company, where I found immense joy in setting up visually pleasing buffets. This combination of practical skills and an eye for aesthetics uniquely positioned me to create beautiful and functional spaces that resonate with clients on a personal level. We are a small, creative team, sharing the belief that great design is built on a foundation of quality and affordability.

Divine Design Staging staged my home for the sale.
Michelle is wonderful to work with and her eye for scale and balance is spot on. She made my empty remodeled house look inviting and warm. She got everything moved in and ready quickly and my home was ready for open house. She adds amazing touches that are appealing and eye catching. She gives your home the pop it needs to sell at a desirable price. I would definitely recommend and utilize her talent again. The best investment I made to ensure my house sold.

I first met Michelle at a marketing meeting after my long-time stager of 25+ years retired. She immediately struck me as creative, honest, and responsible. I hired her for my first home on Pope, and she did an excellent job. Since then, I’ve brought her in on several more properties, including two luxury homes — one in Castro Valley priced at $1.6 million and another in the Hayward Hills at $3 million. Michelle’s staging is consistently creative, polished, and top-notch. She truly cares about the outcome, listens carefully, and is always open to suggestions. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional stager.

I had a fantastic experience working with Devine Design Staging! Michelle was incredibly accommodating from start to finish and did an amazing job explaining her vision in a way that made everything easy to understand. She stayed thoughtfully within our budget while still delivering a beautifully styled home.
What really stood out was how meticulous she was—constantly checking in, making thoughtful tweaks, and making sure every detail looked just right. Her commitment to the project was obvious, and it made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
I couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend Michelle and Devine Design Staging to any REALTOR or homeowner looking to elevate their listing!

We had such a great experience working with Michelle and her team at Divine Design. They came highly recommended by our realtor, and now we completely understand why.
They made our home look so amazing that I actually joked about not wanting to move anymore. Their eye for design is incredible -every space felt warm, elevated, and beautifully put together.
They were also fast, professional, and so easy to work with, which made the whole process feel seamless. I truly believe their staging played a huge role in how quickly our home sold.
We’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend them!

I only had the privilege to meet Michelle on FaceTime because due to personal issues, she staged our home by not physically being there. What a talent to look at the floor plans and create a beautiful staging design that resulted in our house being sold for $50k above asking price! I would highly recommend her and guarantee you will not be disappointed. Thank you Michelle and team for an awesome job!!!

I love working with Divine Design! Michelle and her team are amazing — every home they stage for me looks warm, inviting, and absolutely beautiful. I always tell Michelle that one day I want her to come stage my own home because I love her work that much. Their staging always photographs perfectly and helps my listings sell faster and for top dollar. Highly recommend!
