Step 1: The Inquiry Please fill out the project inquiry form with as much detail as possible. This helps me get a clear picture of your vision and needs before our first conversation.
Step 2: The Phone Call If your project seems like a good fit for the studio, we will schedule a complimentary 20-minute introductory call to discuss your project in greater detail.
Step 3: The Consultation The final step before we begin a formal partnership is the in-home consultation, where we will dive deep into the scope, budget, and possibilities for your home.
How We Begin Our Partnership
-
Our comprehensive, client-focused process is broken down into four key phases: Onboarding, Design & Development, Purchasing & Execution, and Project Management & Closeout. This structured approach ensures a seamless and collaborative experience from our initial conversation to the final reveal.

We specialize in full-service residential design, where we manage the entire project from the initial concept to the final installation to provide a seamless, turn-key experience for our clients. While every project is unique, our work typically falls into one of these categories:
Full-Home or Multi-Room Furnishings: We love transforming a house into a home through carefully curated furniture, lighting, and decor. We require a minimum of three rooms for our full-service furnishing projects, which typically have a starting investment of $20,000 - $30,000 and up.
Large-Scale Renovations: We excel at reimagining spaces, with a special focus on kitchens and bathrooms. Our renovation projects typically begin at an investment level of $50,000 and up.
Designer for a Day: For those who don't require full-service design but desire expert, one-on-one guidance, we offer a flat-rate "Designer for a Day" service. This is perfect for helping you solve design dilemmas, work through layouts, or for a dedicated shopping trip.
If your project doesn't seem to fit these categories, we'd still encourage you to reach out. If we aren't the right fit, we may be able to point you in the right direction.

The simple answer is: you can be as involved as you want to be. We tailor our collaboration to fit your style. Some of our clients prefer a hands-off approach; once the design direction is approved, they trust us to handle every detail with a simple weekly update. Others enjoy a more hands-on partnership, exploring each choice alongside us as they learn about the process. Most of our clients fall somewhere in between.
Whatever your preference, our process is designed for clear communication. Your input is most crucial during the initial briefing, where we dive deep to understand your goals, and at our key design presentations. We have two formal feedback stages built into our process:
The Conceptutal Design Meeting: This is our first major creative presentation.
The Detailed Design Meeting: This is where we present the final selections for your approval.
After each of these meetings, we provide one round of revisions. To keep the project on track and ensure all your feedback is captured, we ask that you consolidate your thoughts and send them to us in a single email within a week of the presentation.
This structured approach ensures we are always in sync and that the final result is a perfect reflection of you, regardless of your level of involvement.
Most asked questions
-
We believe in full transparency when it comes to the investment in your home. Our process begins with a complimentary in-home consultation where we can get to know you and your project.
Our fee structure is straightforward and broken into two main components:
The Design Fee: We charge a flat-rate design fee that is quoted upfront after our initial consultation. This fee is tailored to the specific scope and scale of your project and covers all the creative work, including concept development, space planning, sourcing, detailed drawings, and creating your final design presentation. The design fee is paid in two installments: 50% is due upon signing our agreement to kick off the project, and the remaining 50% is due prior to the conceptual design meeting.
The Furnishings & Materials Budget: This is the separate budget for all the tangible items for your home—furniture, lighting, rugs, accessories, and materials. During the design phase, we will collaboratively create a detailed Furnishing Investment Estimate (FIE) for your review and approval. We manage the entire procurement process for you, from start to finish. You pay the retail price for all approved items—never more. This straightforward approach covers our comprehensive procurement service—including all ordering, tracking, inspection, and delivery management. To begin the purchasing phase, we require 100% of the approved furnishing budget upfront.
This method ensures you have a clear financial picture from the start and allows our creative process to be our main focus.

We are thrilled to learn more about your project! Taking the first step is easy, and we'll guide you through the entire process.
Book an Introductory Call: The best way to begin is by booking a complimentary 15-minute discovery call through our website. This allows us to have a brief chat about your project's scope and vision. You can also reach out to us directly via phone, text, or email.
In-Home Consultation: If we determine we're a good fit, we'll schedule a complimentary in-person consultation. This is our opportunity to see your space, dive deeper into your goals, and walk you through our design process.
Review Your Proposal: Following our meeting, we will prepare and send you a detailed project proposal and our Design Services Agreement to review. This will outline the design fee, project scope, and a preliminary budget so you have everything you need to make a confident decision.
Make it Official: Once you've signed the agreement and submitted the initial design fee deposit, your project is officially underway and we can begin the creative journey!

This is one of the most important questions, and the honest answer is that every project timeline is unique. The final duration depends on a variety of factors, but we are committed to creating a realistic schedule upfront and keeping you informed every step of the way.
Here are the primary elements that shape a project's timeline:
Scope and Scale: A multi-room furnishings project will have a significantly different timeline than a full-scale home renovation. The complexity and number of spaces we are designing will be the biggest factor.
Procurement and Lead Times: Many pieces of custom furniture, lighting, and specific materials have manufacturing lead times that can range from a few weeks to several months. We account for this in our project schedule and manage all the logistics, but shipping delays and backorders can sometimes occur.
Construction and Renovation: For projects involving construction, the timeline is largely driven by your contractor's schedule, city permitting, and the construction process itself. While we do not perform the construction work, we connect our clients with a network of trusted contractors who can bid on and complete the project. We then collaborate closely with them to ensure the design is implemented to our standards.
As a general guideline, a furnishings-only project for several rooms can take anywhere from 3-6 months from our initial consultation to the final installation. A renovation project, like a kitchen or bathroom, often ranges from 8-12 months or more, depending on the complexity.
