After Kurelich and Varney began collaborating on larger projects, sharing ideas and resources both shared more than just strong business standards; they also had similar design philosophies. Both were dedicated to providing their clients quality service, creativity and attention to detail in their work. Wanting to expand their service offerings the two began discussing a business plan that would incorporate Home Staging, Interior Decorating and Redesign and formally launched Triangle Staging and Design.
