Our Approach

Your home is more than just a retreat – it’s a reflection of your values and a stage for your most cherished memories.

We believe good design is a performance that will evoke surprise and delight – both on stage and off – for you and your family for generations to come.

Consultation

Prior to a scheduled consultation, we have already had a back and forth with a client. After receiving an initial inquiry via contact website form or email, we require a potential client to fill out our new client questionnaire form. This is also a great opportunity for the client to submit inspiration photos or pinterest boards. Once reviewed our team will reach out to set up an initial call. This call is a simple 15 minute call to ensure we are on the same page and get to know our potential client a little better.

If it seems like a great fit, we will set up an initial in-home consultation. The initial, one-hour, consultation meeting is $250. The meeting is casual and collaborative. We meet at the client’s home to discuss the scope of the project including the client’s goals and budget. We walk through the space with the client rapidly taking as many notes and photos as possible. This is when I learn about the client, their needs, how their family functions within their home, what pieces they already own and would like to incorporate within the design and so much more! No advice is given at this time, purely information gathering for us! Here are some before photos we have taken in the past for reference:

After consultation, our team will sit down and discuss the project. We determine what it's going to take on our end to meet the client's needs, budget, and timeline. We then come up with a design package with all of that in mind, typically based on the amount of hours it will take the team to complete the project from start to finish. We then send a contract and invoice over to the client to complete. Once signed and paid, the client's project start date is added to our calendar.


Design Development

The first step we take is to gather information. We take all the pertinent site measurements and create existing floor plans and elevations if necessary. This gives us a solid point of departure to build ideas and details from. If renovation or building is involved in the brief, we develop initial building concepts. From there we begin procurement. This is a strategic process of sourcing from vendors we work with all over the world. We put all of the furniture, lighting, rug, paint colors, art, window treatments, wallpaper, and any finish selections into a design presentation with a corresponding proposal to share with out client.

We invite our client to for a formal design presentation for their home, typically on-site.  We share everything we completed in the design process and really aim to give the client a visual of their new space. This includes showing furniture layouts, sharing product samples and finishes and presenting all of the pieces we selected for each space in a slide show presentation utilizing tables and prints. The client is also given a corresponding proposal which breaks down all the item specifications and pricing by room.

Revision: After our client has some time to review everything we shared at presentation day, usually there are some revisions to be made. A few changes here and there based on the client's likes, dislikes, and budget. Sometimes a client wants to see just one other option on certain pieces. We typically see one round of revisions until we get everything perfect and then we create an invoice. Once the invoice is paid, we order everything!


Project Liaison

We oversee all of the orders, ensuring items ship on schedule from our vendors and are sent to our receiving warehouse. Most items are shipped via freight so they are coming in on an 18-wheeler truck and you must set up a delivery. This can be extremely cumbersome when it comes to 100 different products arriving for a project. We schedule every single one, receive each product at our warehouse, inspect everything for any damages and keep all of our client's items together until everything for the entire project has arrived. Typically during project management phase we are simultaneously wrapping up all of the accessories, bedding, and pillow selections as well as having wallpaper, lighting, and window treatments installed prior to installation day.


Installation Day

The very best day! We ask our client's to leave for the day and our delivery team loads up their truck with all of the items from the warehouse and delivers to the home. We lay down every rug, place every piece of furniture, make every bed, take away all the trash (there's a lot of trash), fluff every pillow and style every space down to lighting the candles when you arrive home. It truly is the client's HGTV moment when all of their home dreams come true. It's the most rewarding part of the entire process for my team, seeing how happy our client's are and why we do what we do.
