Our Process
Client Consultation:
We meet with you and all decision makers, to discuss the project, your design esthetic, time frame, and project investment amount. This initial meeting can last up to two hours and is considered a working appointment where we freely give our knowledge, insights, and suggestions. This shall provide you with valuable information, create clarity, and give you a good idea of where you want to go with your project and how we may move forward together. This first valuable meeting always saves you time, money, and mistakes moving forward. It is the starting point of all good design.
Detailed Site Planning Day:
After receipt of the signed contract and design stage deposit, we start to make it happen. During this stage, we measure, take before photos, identify all meaningful furnishings and accessories that will be incorporated into the design, and meet with all our trusted vendors and workmen who need to see, evaluate, give input and provide estimates for their portion of the job. This may include a painter, contractor, window treatment workroom, millworker, electrician, plumber, wall paperer, etc. This is an action-packed brainstorming and creative day for my team.
Preliminary Design:
Where the magic happens With all of the information we obtained and gathered during the initial conversations with you, added together with the Detailed Site Planning Day, we begin drawing up initial plans and creating your design. We select, get samples, research, and pull together all of the details of your project including floor plans, 3-D renderings, select architectural finishes, color schemes, window treatments, fabrics, or decorative furnishings.

We meet with you and present all of our exciting finds and designs! During this time, we also review the projected total spend, note any changes or re-selections that might be needed and wrap up our meeting with a very clear and concise complete design package.
