What are my goals with regard to decorating? (example: totally new look, re-vamp, one room at a time, entire home all at once…)

How much time and I willing and able to devote to this project? Some clients get very involved while others prefer to take a look at our edited selections (chosen with their taste in mind) and simply say “I’ll take that”.

What is your budget? You may have larger goals in mind and we can help you break them down into smaller achievable goals. For instance, you may have $60,000 to furnish a new home but you may not know what things cost and what’s doable on your budget.

We suggest that all of our customers kick-off their design project by sitting down in a comfortable place (maybe you don’t have one and that’s why you need us…) with a stack (4 or 5) of magazines about interiors, two different color pads of sticky notes, a pencil and an open mind. Flip through the magazines and using one color for “I like it” and the other for “Yuck”…start marking pages. Look at everything on the page and mark any aspect of it that you like or dislike. Have this stack ready for us for our first meeting so we can gauge your taste and style. Suggested magazines: Metropolitan Home, Dwell, House Beautiful, Architectural Digest, Veranda, Country Living, Elle Décor.

Give us a call, you’re ready to get started.
