Vesta Home, a national luxury lifestyle company specializing in interior design, furniture, home staging and turnkey furnishing, is expanding its Northern California presence with the addition of Ashley Provost and her team to the company. The expansion brings nearly 20 years of local design and staging expertise to Vesta Home's national platform, strengthening its presence in the East Bay and extending its services to more agents, developers and homeowners throughout the region.
Provost, who founded Ashley Provost Design in 2010, has built an established business and strong relationships within the East Bay real estate community. She will continue to lead her team as Executive Director of the Provost Group at Vesta Home, bringing her local market knowledge, client relationships and design expertise to the company's growing Northern California operations.
With Ashley and her team joining Vesta Home, East Bay clients will have access to a broader range of residential services, including full-service interior design, furniture sales, rentals, staging and turnkey furnishing solutions. Backed by more than 70,000 square feet of luxury furniture inventory, expanded warehouse and logistics capabilities and a national network of designers, the team will be able to offer a wider selection of premium furnishings and custom furniture, along with greater flexibility and streamlined installations.
“Over the years, our team has grown and developed alongside the home staging industry itself. What was once a relatively new concept has become an essential part of how homes are marketed and sold,” said Provost. “As the expectations for staging in the East Bay continue to rise, we see an incredible opportunity to elevate what we do even further. Joining Vesta Home feels like a natural next step in our evolution, allowing us to build on our local expertise and relationships with the resources, innovation and vision of a national leader.”
The expansion builds on Vesta Home's momentum across Northern California, one of the company's strongest-performing markets, and reflects its continued investment in key luxury residential markets. In 2025, Vesta Home staged and installed more than 5.2 million square feet of property nationwide. The company also saw a 90% year-over-year increase in buyers purchasing furniture from staged properties, reflecting growing demand for fully furnished, move-in-ready homes.
“Northern California has become one of our top-performing markets, and we see the East Bay as a natural next step in our growth,” said Julian Buckner, Founder and CEO of Vesta Home. “Ashley has spent nearly 20 years building an incredible business and strong relationships throughout the East Bay. Having her and her team join Vesta Home strengthens our local expertise and allows us to bring our design talent, furniture collections and national infrastructure to more clients in the region, while maintaining the personal approach that has made her business so successful.”
A Walnut Creek native and UC Berkeley alumna, Provost began her career in design after spending two years in Europe, followed by roles at Pottery Barn and alongside an established local home stager and designer. She founded Ashley Provost Design in 2010, building the business around personalized service, strong relationships with East Bay real estate professionals and a design approach tailored to each property's architecture and prospective buyers. Recognized as one of the nation's Top 100 Most Influential Stagers, Provost has grown her business largely through referrals and is based in Danville.
