A design consultation is the first step for all clients. It is a great option for anyone looking for a refresh, a new pair of eyes on your space or a gentle nudge in the right direction. We can spend the time focusing on just one room that has you baffled or you can pick my brain as we work our way around the entire house. To maximize productivity, I have a questionnaire form that clients fill out in advance. I will learn more about your preferences and style so that I can best answer your questions.

The consultation is a working session where I bring my laptop, paint, rug, window treatment and fabric samples and measuring tape to look up ideas for specific items right then and there. A recap of everything we discussed will be sent to you within a day of the consultation.

For clients seeking a little bit of help, 90 minutes is all they need. For other clients, I return to their house to continue working together on an hourly basis as needed. Or for those embarking on a renovation or needing a full room transformation, the consultation is the first step and we continue on with full service (see below).

$295 Design Consultation- up to 90 minutes

After the consultation, many clients continue on to Full Service Design. I'll be there every step of the way as we create your dream space. This is ideal for clients who are overwhelmed with all of the choices out there and are afraid of making a costly mistake by purchasing something they will soon regret.

After our 90 minute consultation (see above) I will prepare a proposal broken down by room if it is a multi-room project. Upon your acceptance of the proposal and payment, we will get started.

I will select all the furniture, fixtures, materials and finishes necessary to complete your space. I will present you with a concept board and then with your approval, we will bring that concept to life.

The project ends when I return to your home to make sure everything is in its place. A handyman is hired (either on your own or through me as I have a GREAT one!) to hang artwork and do the heavy lifting as needed with furniture arrangement.

Then you enjoy your beautiful new space!

Fixer Uppers are near and dear to my heart as our current home is from the 1960’s and we previously lived in a 1920’s home. I love to transform older homes so that they work for today’s modern family. If you are a homeowner embarking on a renovation, I can be there every step of the way. I will help you select all of the finishes, paint colors, wallpaper, flooring, lighting and all of the kitchen details. Then I will get to work on the furniture and all of the finishing touches that make a house a home. The artwork, what to put on the mantle, rugs, and treasures for shelves and built ins. I will ensure that your house flows from room to room so that it’s beautiful and functional for how you live.

Over the past few years I have worked with several clients who have purchased homes that were newly built. Typically these homes have great floor plans and neutral paint on the wall and beautiful wood floors. But they are lacking personality and a homey feeling. If you have recently moved into a new build house I would love to help you make it your dream home. I love working on projects that are a blank slate and selecting all of the details to make each room special.

If you are house-hunting in the Bergen County area and are curious about the potential of a house that you are considering, let's chat! It can sometimes be hard to see past the seller’s furniture or dated elements on a home. I provide guidance and recommendations on how the home can be reimagined to become the right fit for your family.

Let’s Talk about budget

Almost every client that I speak to on the phone will ask me about budget. They want to know where I source from because they aren’t sure if I can work with their budget. The answer is that I can source from anywhere and I have worked with clients with a wide range of budgets. I get a sense of a client’s style (through the questionnaire form and looking at their inspo photos) and then before I source anything, I will ask what they are comfortable spending on any given item or if they have a budget for a room.
