Design Consultation

“I wish you would have come in and done this before we made the decision to sell.”

This is a story I have heard time and time again. After 18 years of hearing this, its time to offer this as a service. I’ve asked myself: Why do our clients have the best version of their home when it’s time to move? Why can’t they live in the best version of their own home now? Will their lives be enriched because their home is their resting place and a reflection of them? The answer is “Why not"?”

Whether you are looking to renovate your home to get it ready for market or want to update it for yourself, I can help. I am flexible and know that design is not only about a pretty house, it’s about it being an extension of you and then being able to maintain it. Crave a cozy and inviting atmosphere, a modern and chic setting, or a timeless and sophisticated escape, I have the expertise to match your style to make it happen.

FAQs:

Can you help me pick the paint colors? I have no idea where to start?

What kind of carpet should I go with? What’s trending?

Should I go with a hardwood floor or does LVP work for this house, I don’t know.

Should I block the door with this couch, we don’t use this door?

What is most welcoming way to furnish this living room?

What kind of backsplash should I use for this kitchen?

Should I open up this wall? Will it help with resale or not?

I’m buying this as a vacation rental, can you help furnish it and make it ready to rent?

Having started my undergraduate program at the University of Washington in the architecture program, I was always interested in Form and Function. Add that with two decades of experience in the resale market, I’ve honed in on colors, materials, floor plans, furniture, you name it. We can create something together that will take it all the way until it is time to sell. Imagine the mad dash to get a house ready for market will not be necessary because you will be ready to go when life calls.

I understand everyone has different needs and wants so every experience is tailor made, including costs. Sometimes we charge by project or hourly depending on your needs. My goal is to make this doable, especially if you are a past client so don’t hesitate to ask for more details.

Let’s make it beautiful!
