1.      A complimentary 1 hour consultation is scheduled at your home.  The purpose of the consultation is to gather information about your needs, interests, timeframes, and budget.  It also gives you the opportunity to ask me any questions you may have about the design process and my services.  

 2.   After the consultation, a proposal is forwarded to you for your review & approval.  The proposal includes a summary of your project needs, the estimated hours and fees it will take to complete the project, a payment schedule, and terms & conditions. 

 3.    Once the proposal is accepted, a meeting is scheduled at your home to gather more detailed information about your design preferences with regards to style, fabrics,  colors, etc.  I'll can bring along my style books which you can browse through and tag the things you like. While you're reviewing the books, I'll take room measurements and photograph your space. Afterwards, we'll go through the style book and discuss your design likes and dislikes.  I encourage you to share any pictures with me that you've collected prior to our meeting.  

 

4.    I develop a room plan, shop for furnishings, and present the plan to you in the form of floor plans, photographs, fabric swatches, wood samples, paint chips, accessories, etc.  

 

5.     A meeting is scheduled after delivery of your furnishings to view your finished room(s) and determine if any final touches are needed and/or desired.

 

Window Treatments:  Shop at home for blinds, shades, and drapery.  I bring sample books to your home, measure your windows, and provide installation services. 

 

Are you busy or do you travel so much you're afraid you won't have time to devote to your project? We can accomplish a lot together electronically. I can e-mail floor plans and pictures of home furnishings and fabrics. Most of the clients I work with enjoy some combination of both: meeting in person and communicating electronically between meetings.  

 

Where do I shop?  Your decorating style and budget will dictate where I go.  Whether it's a custom sofa from the Merchandise Mart or accessories from a Target, it will be a selection that meets your needs, style,and budget.
