FRONT DOOR DESIGN AND STAGING
Patricia Fears Ruffner is the owner of Front Door Design & Staging, LLC.
Trish is a Designer and Home Staging Specialist. She has studied and worked with many prominent women in the design industry. She started her transition into the design world by completing her Certification for Home Staging and Business with Five-Time Emmy award winning television personality and HGTV Star, Cathy Hobbs, to become an Accredited Staging Professional. To help enhance her staging skills, she pursued certification as a True Colour Expert with renowned color expert, Maria Killiam.
Prior to pursuing her passion in the design industry, Trish was a Patent Paralegal at an International Law Firm in Boston. It taught her work ethic, problem solving, teamwork, efficiency, communication skills. Her second–and greatest career choice–a Stay-At-Home Mom to two beautiful children for 20 years. This capitalized on all she learned as a paralegal and added organization, time-management, empathy and above all, unconditional love to her repertoire.
And now, Trish has found her third and most passionate career--combining her eye for design and love for her home to look its best--in the design industry. She continues on her professional path in the design world by studying with Award-Winning Interior Designer, Debbe Daley and Home Staging Guru, Author and Coach Marianne Cherico.
Do What You Love and Love What You Do!
CHEERS! ~ Trish

Designers Collaborating
We are always collaborating and meeting with fellow designers for continuing education to increase our skillset in the design world. We may head to the Boston Design Center, a fellow colleague's business or an antique store!
My mentors and colleagues are on the left at a recent workshop in Portsmouth. And here I am on the right, showing off this vintage lamp to this Designer Collaborative group... it was the highlight of the "field trip" to an antique store in Maine!
