Let’s stage your home

EL CAJON PROJECT STORY · 9965 DUNBAR LANE

One property.
Two ways to live.

A fully renovated single-level home and attached studio ADU, staged to make the main residence feel expansive—and the secondary space feel complete.

Expansive renovated El Cajon home with open kitchen, dining and living areas staged by D’Core

THE PROJECT

Two distinct spaces.
One cohesive presentation.

This gated El Cajon property pairs a generous single-level main residence with an attached studio ADU. D’Core’s staging needed to clarify the scale and function of the open plan while giving the secondary space its own warm, independent identity.

In the main home, we defined living and dining zones without interrupting the long sightlines from the oversized kitchen. The primary suite received a softer, quieter layer. In the ADU, a compact sofa, dining table and restrained accessories demonstrated how one room could comfortably support daily living.

Warm oak, ivory upholstery, woven texture and sculptural neutral artwork connect both residences. The palette brings softness to the renovated gray-and-white interior while allowing the vaulted ceilings, natural light and leafy surroundings to lead.

FOR HOMES WITH MORE THAN ONE STORY TO TELL

Distinct spaces.
