Unlock the techniques of a professional interior designer to design the home of your dreams
and then remodel it without living through a construction nightmare.
Design, by definition, is a plan. Over six weeks, I will collaborate with you to choose beautiful materials for your home and record those choices into a book of worksheets. This book will give your contractor everything they need to calculate a realistic budget and timeline, and then remodel your home without putting you through a nightmare.

I will help you choose your
You have likely worked all your life to get to the point where you can design the custom home you are dreaming of. You should not only get what you want; you should not have to live through a nightmare to get it done. Let’s protect your vision, your schedule, your budget, and your sanity!
Over the last twenty years, I have developed a system for bringing my clients through all the aesthetic decisions necessary to realize their vision and then documenting those decisions in a way that includes construction details needed by their contractor.
Great interior design is not just beautiful it's also buildable!
Even if you hire a contractor, you will be responsible for researching, choosing, and communicating (preferably in writing) your desires for your flooring, countertops, tile, appliances, cabinetry, electrical fixtures, plumbing fixtures, and finish carpentry items.
Making these choices involves not only choosing a material like a countertop, but it's also communicating the thickness, the sink mounting, the edge detail, the backsplash, the support for the bar overhang, etc.
Did you know...
means I will help you choose materials to best suite your desired aesthetic.
beautiful and buildable
Using my style guides, I will recommend materials based on your style preference, and provide a review of your choices.
As an interior designer, creating specifications is the most important thing I do with a client. Once I have worked with a client to choose a material, I put the details about that material on paper, and most importantly, I including construction details that your contractor needs to know before they can bid and build your remodel.

beautiful and buildable
You will then be able to hand this spec book to a contractor, and know you are receiving a reliable bid for your project.
For Example
When the flooring material in one room is thicker than the material in the next room you may need to install a transition piece to bridge the gap.
Your contractor may have used a metal transition piece
Or our specification could tell him to use a marble threshold
Installing the wrong transition piece is just one of tens of expensive mistakes that I can help you avoid.
If I save you just one of these headaches you will have easily recouped the cost of this program!
I can guide you
from day dream

dream home
"Design isn't everything, but design has the power to inform how you show up in your life, and that is everything."
I like to say...
This is true nowhere more than in your home! Your home should support your values and allow you to achieve your highest aims.
Your goal may be to play on the floor with your kids, have loved ones over for a meal, create space for your hobbies, make room to do your best work, or just to recharge at the end of the day via a lovely bathtub.

The how

For Example...
When a countertop overhangs the cabinets below to make a bar seating area, the overhang needs to be supported by metal brackets.
Your contractor may install visible support brackets
but you may have preferred hidden brackets
Installing the countertop wrong is just one of tens of expensive mistakes that I can help you avoid.
If I save you just one of these headaches you will have easily recouped the cost of this program!

During our six weeks together, we will meet via live calls.

One More Example...
It can be very tricky to coordinate your refrigerator size with the cabinets you are ordering from your cabinet supplier. The biggest issue is that refrigerators labeled "cabinet depth" are not actually cabinet depth.
You may intend to have this
and you may end up with this,
but if we plan ahead, I can help you get this
Buying the wrong fridge is just one of tens of expensive mistakes that I can help you avoid.
If I save you just one of these headaches you will have easily recouped the cost of this program!
