Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.
— William Morris
 

If looking to decorate or redecorate, I can help create a wonderful new space that is both beautiful and comfortable while catering to the personal preferences and style of an individual or family. If selling a property, creating an environment that will appeal to as many buyers as possible would be the ultimate goal.

 

WHAT IS THE PROCESS & HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

We'll begin with a free initial phone consultation to discuss the basics of your situation and project.

INTERIOR DESIGN SOLUTIONS

Our first design session starts with a tour of your space and involves questions about goals and the feeling and visual style desired.

If redecorating, we discuss which pieces to be replaced and those to be kept. If decorating a blank space, we brainstorm ideas for the new area.

With new furniture, window treatments, rugs, lighting, etc., I research interior decor to fit your personal style and preferences while keeping you updated throughout the process. After narrowing down options, a store visit or working together online enables us to make final decisions.

Once pieces arrive, I work on space planning to make sure the furnishings and decorative elements are arranged beautifully, functionally, and to achieve the desired aesthetic. When all is set up, I can advise on placement of any wall art.

We book sessions together to work in your home/office or visit stores. I also work remotely doing research.

  • This will depend on various factors such as the size of your home and rooms to be decorated, any new items to be purchased and/or given away, and other desired jobs to be done by outside contractors such as painting or installations of any kind.

HOME STAGING

Our first session starts with a tour of your home to be sold or rented. You’ll let me know if you plan to rent furniture or use your own. I can also help with decluttering in advance if needed.

I offer two different home staging options - design consultations with DIY tips and guidance or doing the staging for you. If you choose a consult, I would assess what needs to be done and work with you to create an action plan for you to execute. This includes everything from guidance on home decor and furniture arrangement to recommendations on home improvements like painting or repairing noticeable design elements of your home.

If using your own furniture, this is a cost-effective way to stage your home using my organizing and design expertise. If renting furniture, I can work with the rental company to make sure everything is arranged in a way that sets the stage for your potential buyers/renters to envision themselves living in your home.

If choosing a consultation and doing the staging yourself based on my recommendations, there would be a second follow-up session to see that everything we’ve discussed has been put into effect and looks great. We can also use this time to make any necessary changes together. If I handle all of the staging, then we will work in as many sessions as necessary depending on the size of your home and all of the details involved.

Sessions are booked based on the size of your home.

  • With consultations, I offer 3 hour sessions for small to medium size homes and 6 to 8 hour sessions for larger ones. The sessions are scheduled for 2 different days.

  • If I am physically doing the staging, the amount of time will depend on various factors such as the size of your home and what is needed (decluttering, furniture removal or addition, any necessary painting and minor repairs).
