No project is too small.
- Perhaps all you need is a consultation, whether it be renovating a space or building a new home; selecting a paint color; shopping for bedding for your apartment bedroom; or a professional opinion on how to layout a room with your existing furniture. I am happy to work with you on a per hour basis.
- Or maybe you only have one or two rooms you need to decorate and you want guidance in choosing every aspect of its decor- colors, fabrics, furniture, flooring, lighting and accessorizing- but you want to do your own shopping. I am happy to quote a project fee for you.
No project is too large.
- Need to decorate your whole house or new construction? I will consider every aspect of the space and the way it is to be used. I will consult with your architect and contractor to the smallest detail, like where to put an electrical outlet or the height of a window. However, my services are not limited to Interior Design. For example, I will work with you to:
- plan the landscape for the exterior of your house
- help organize your kitchen cabinets
- or even set up your home for holidays and parties.
