If you are looking to refresh a Dining room, Bedroom, Children’s room, Guest room, Office, Home Gym, Entryway, Patio, Hallway, or a Kitchen or Bathroom without any major renovations, this service is for you.

Revisions are made as needed until you are happy with the plan. I source the needed products and once approved and purchased I implement the design and do a final styling.

VIRTUAL HOME STAGING SESSION
$160
About to put your home on the market? During this 45 minute video session I will give you ideas - tailored to your specific spaces - on how you can rearrange your furniture, what you may want to add or remove and give you advice on styling and tweaks that you can implement on your own after our meeting. I can also suggest paint color when appropriate.
By reviewing photos of your home in advance, I can ensure we dive straight into the details during our session—maximizing our time together.
Often the small tweaks can make a big impact on the potential buyer experience - resulting in higher bids.

FAQs
Do you work with my budget?
Yes! I work within your budget, big or small. No matter the budget, I help you sort out what can and can not be done and what is most important to you. We figure out what we can do to make the biggest impact, and where you may want to save.
Do you have your own team of tradespeople?
No, I work independently and collaborate with the tradespeople you trust. I’ll provide design guidance, detailed plans and specifications, and support throughout the process to ensure your team can execute the design smoothly.
How do you approach a design project?
Every client and every project is unique. It is my goal to work with you to create a space that is right for YOU. I get to know you and learn about how you live and use your space.
Function. Firstly I look to identify how you use or wish to use the particular space and what can be done to improve the functions the space is intended to fill. All of the practical needs. What is working right now? What isn’t working?
Feel. We also explore how you would like to feel in the space. Is the goal to feel energized and inspired or perhaps relaxed and peaceful? What are your goals for this space?
Surroundings. I assess the possibilities of your space while also considering the surroundings and the building/house as a whole as I believe these things should have an impact on how we design a space in order for it to feel authentic and intentional rather than out of place.
Aesthetic. We will work together to get a good understanding of your design aesthetic (or your branding, if commercial), what you like and what you don’t like. I like to use Pinterest as a visual communication tool for this.
What does the process look like?
Depending on the service the process will look a little different. These are the key phases:
Design Concept – Initial meeting, site visit, taking the time to learn about your needs, goals, and aesthetic (see previous FAQ). The overall look and feel is shaped. Mood boards, inspiration, layout options, initial sourcing ideas.
Design Development – Sourcing selections, detailed floor plans, budgeting, and documents for execution. Presentation of detailed plan for final approval.
Implementation – Procurement, contractor coordination, installation and final styling.
