We’ll begin by visiting with you in the actual space that you wish to transform. We’ll discuss what is working or not working for you in the space, how it is used, who uses it, and what your ultimate goal is for the area. In short, we do a lot of listening so that we can give you what you want for your room.
After gathering detailed information, we share our “master plan” with you for the space. You may intend for us to put this plan into action, or you may just need help developing a vision for your own "Do-It-Yourself" project.
If you decide to let us perform your “master plan” transformation, we will give you a “flat fee” cost for the Redesign. We prefer this pricing structure as opposed to an hourly fee, as this enables us to concentrate on implementing the very best plan for your room(s) instead of “racing against the clock” during the transformation. We will secure a 50% deposit at the time of this consultation, which will then be applied to your total Redesign cost.
This is a great time for you to schedule a day of work, errands, shopping, or visiting with friends so you can come back to the “big reveal”! While you are out, we will empty the room to gain a fresh perspective, and we will also study the architecture and lines of the room. Next, we "shop" your home for additional furniture, artwork and accessories that may enhance the look of the area. We will then rearrange the contents of the room, using professional Redesign principles. The amazing result will be a warm, inviting, and functional environment that reflects your personality and style.
As you are picking your jaw up from the floor after you have viewed your spectacular room, we will present you with a recommendation list of items that you may want to consider purchasing to add to the
atmosphere of your new Redesigned room. We may suggest paint colors, greenery, artwork, area rugs, or accessories… and we will also list where you can find these items at reasonable prices
Q. “Why should I have a room Redesigned?”
You may want to freshen and update a room, or gain more coziness and warmth from your space. You may also want a room to reflect more of your personality or style than it does currently. You may have inherited some pieces that you would like to integrate into your home. Many clients also get a Redesign before the holidays or before hosting a party or event.
Q. "What happens to the rest of the house after you shop for furniture and accessories for the Redesigned room?"
It’s true that we often switch pieces from room to room to achieve better function, weight, and balance. We try not to leave open spaces or “holes” in other living areas. Before we begin our Redesign, you are able to designate “off limits” rooms that we will not “shop”. You will also designate an area where any unused items can be carefully placed after the Redesign is complete. You may wish to re-use these items in the other rooms, or store them away.
Q. “Will you be able to help me? I don’t think that I have lot to work with... most of my stuff is old."
Many people have a fear that their furniture or accessories will not be useable, but in reality they may not be displayed or utilized to their best advantage. We are experts at using common items in uncommon ways, and you will be surprised at the fresh look your items will have when we have completed the makeover.
Q. “My house is a mess! Will you be able to overlook this?”
In the “real world”, people live in their homes and do not have showcase homes. We have never known anyone who didn’t have a few dust bunnies lurking! As a professional Redesigner, it is not my goal to judge your furnishings or surroundings… I only want to create a new look that you will love living in!
Q. What if I hate it?
Ahhh…. The infamous question! We have never experienced this reaction, but we have a plan in case we do! We have a guarantee that you will love your room… and here’s how the guarantee works: Live with your new Redesigned room for one week, and if you have any concerns after that week has ended, we will be glad to come back and “tweak” your room until you are completely happy with the results.
