The Jury
The jury is a group of international jurors with diverse backgrounds and experiences, including real estate, staging, photography, and website design.
All entries are judged blind, meaning the jury members will not know who submitted the projects during the two rounds of judging for the competition.
We are extremely grateful to our jury members for generously donating their time to participate in the International Home Staging Awards.

Maison de Campagne (MDC Fine Living)Website | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok
Mitchell Bage, a native of Galveston County, TX is the creator and co-owner of Maison de Campagne.Beginning his career in the year 2000 as a business analyst for the aerospace industry, Mitchell placed his passion for Art, Architecture, and Interior Design as a secondary path. Through years of supporting NASA Programs, he decided to follow his true love and change directions back to design.
After years of assisting colleagues, friends, and family achieve their dreams of stunning homes, he finally decided to branch out officially and create his own interior and staging service business in the summer of 2018.
MDC was inspired by his passion for the french countryside aesthetic, a mix of rustic elements and refined details that results in a showstopping, simple, and elegant home.
Since then, Mitchell and his partner Luis have grown MDC into the premier Home Staging and Interior Design Company in their area. Mitchell prides himself in his ability to merge a more traditional style with a modern look by layering a mix of materials onto a classic foundation.
