How it works

step 1

We will start with an in-person initial consultation where we discuss the scope of project, budget, your vision, and timeline.  I will do this onsite to get a real feel for the project.  I will be taking notes, pictures and measurements of your space. These appointments can last anywhere from 45min-1hr and provide the information needed to create the scope of work. 

step 2

I will then send over a contract with a detailed scope of work, design fees, and some other helpful details.  Once you have signed on, we are ready to get started!!!

Step 3

This step is all about you!  We will get together and talk about your style, likes, and dislikes, function, and must-haves.  And please don’t be shy; the more I know the better.  

Step 4

Here comes the fun - the presentation!  After getting to know you, I will put together Design Concept Boards that will communicate the concept and feel of the project.  This is also the time when we will go over any layout options if that is needed as well.  This presentation will be a fun and interactive experience.  

step 5

Now that we have a game plan, I will set up meetings with my go-to contractors and tradespeople (or yours if you have someone you love working with).  You will sign contracts with them and I will get to work managing the project from start to finish. I will attend onsite meetings and discuss all design details with them.  I will be in charge of communication with the contractor and tradespeople, coordinating with them throughout project, and (because its construction) handle any issues that may come up.  I provide an on-site project binder, spec sheets (including tile layout diagrams), and inspect the job site before, during, and after every stage of construction.

step 6

After we find a concept you LOVE and our contractor is nailed down, its time to get serious (j/k, this is my fave part).  This step initiates the finishes selection.  I will handle every detail from countertops to doors and everything in between.  And because it is so important to see your finishes in person, I will bring samples to your home for you to touch and see in your homes unique light.  This way you can accurately see the colors, textures, and size.   Once selections are finalized, the ordering begins! 

step 7

This step can sometimes feel like Christmas morning, only spread out over several days/weeks!  Your product and materials have been ordered so now it’s time for those deliveries to start rolling in.  Once all your orders have been delivered we can celebrate by commencing this project and initiating DEMO DAY!! I prefer to wait for all the materials and finishes to be on hand before starting in order to prevent any delays.

step 8

This step is all about furniture and styling and would actually happen simultaneously with the others.  This part of the process is optional depending on your needs.  You can opt to have an entire room/s furnished and styled from head to toe or I can work with your existing pieces and just freshen up your accessories.  I would follow a similar process as above:  design meeting, scope of work, presentation, selections, and ordering.  

step 9

INSTALL DAY!!! Need I say more?  This is where all your hard work and sacrifice pays off.  Once construction is complete, I will be installing the furniture and styling the space.  Then comes the big reveal where you get to see your space transformed and all your visions and dreams come alive.
