Every full-service project begins with a paid home assessment. We start with a tour of the major priority areas of your home to be updated and discuss the needs and goals for each room. We will then take any photographs or measurements needed to begin your design!
This is the visionary stage of the project where we design your project, including photo-realistic 3D renders, floor plans, elevations, and make the selections that will bring your design together. This period can take 6-8 weeks on a small project and 12+ weeks if we are working on multiple rooms or a whole house. We will keep you informed of our progress and let you know if there’s anything we need from you.
This is the day where we present your complete design plan. This may include an initial conceptual presentation and a secondary, in-person presentation to include materials, memos, paint colors and anything else that your project needs. All decision makers must be present at all presentation meetings. If your project is a whole home, we may need multiple presentation meetings to go through each room thoroughly.
Once you’ve had time to review your design, we schedule a meeting with you by phone or in person to receive your feedback on the presentation(s). Also, we will finalize the drawings and any specifications for your contractor/builder at this time.

We are ordering all approved items for your installation. All of our vendors and suppliers are working hard to complete your design plan. We contract with a local warehouse to receive your items as they arrive. Each piece is inspected, assembled, and stored until installation day.

We will schedule site visits to ensure the design plan is being followed and to consult with any skilled trades working on your project. We will coordinate all the furniture, decor, and window treatment installation.

After you’ve had a chance to live in your space for a few days, we may do a final walk through. During that meeting we will create a punch list of any items that need to be taken care of. Wether that is small touch ups, or filling a room with new decor. We will handle everything for you as quickly as possible as we can’t wait for you to enjoy your beautiful home for years to come!
