Our People
Meet the team.
Great design changes everything. We're passionate about creating spaces that make people feel deeply at home.

Who We Are
Welcome to The Home Outpost
We believe great design changes everything. Staging isn’t just furniture to us; it’s storytelling. Every home we stage is designed with intention — so buyers don’t just see a house, they feel it.
We’re also home to a 12,000-square-foot showroom filled with furniture, art, rugs, décor, gifts, and one-of-a-kind pieces — all curated with the same care and style we bring to our staging projects.
Rooted in the beauty of the Colorado mountains, we mix modern lines, rugged textures, and soulful details to create spaces that feel as good as they look.
Founder & Creative Director
Margie Hamrick
In my world, interior design is transformation — pure and simple. I’ve always believed that a home should stir something in you. It should reflect your story, quiet your mind, and elevate your everyday.
My love for design was born right here in the Vail Valley, flipping homes, staging them with intention, and watching buyers fall in love before they ever made it to the back door. Over time, that passion became a business — and The Home Outpost was born.
I’m inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds us in the mountains. By quiet neutrals, raw textures, weathered woods, earthy stone, and furniture that’s modern, refined, and grounded in warmth.
Design, at its core, is emotional. And I’ve learned that when a space transforms, so do the people who live in it. That transformation is what fuels everything I do.


Interior Stylist & Lead Stager
Jennifer Sanchez
Creativity has always been at the heart of everything I do. I started my career designing hair in Denver, where I learned the power of aesthetics and personal expression. That passion eventually led me to work with a respected local interior design firm.
My journey with The Home Outpost began when I jumped onto the back of one of their trucks to help load furniture — unplanned but perfectly aligned. From that moment on, I knew I had found my place.
Favorite style: Mountain Modern — merging rustic textures with clean lines and elevated finishes.
Most rewarding aspect: Seeing the positive impact our work has. Helping clients sell their homes faster — and seeing their relief and joy.
Experience: Over 16 years in the design and staging world.
Sales, Staging & Design Specialist
Sarah Blandford
I knew I wanted to be a decorator at 16, when my best friend and I pulled an all-nighter hanging wallpaper while her parents were out of town. While most teens might have thrown a party, we decided the kitchen needed a makeover.
Design philosophy: The 80/20 rule — 80% cohesive and well-coordinated, 20% reserved for personality, quirky touches, vintage pieces, or meaningful accents that give the space heart and soul.
Most rewarding aspect: Breathing new life into older spaces. Rearranging existing furniture to improve flow and functionality, then layering in new pieces that blend seamlessly.
Loves working in: The Vail Valley — the cultural diversity of homeowners creates a unique mix of styles, from rustic mountain lodges to sleek, modern escapes.
