FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is offered as 3 options: 1) DIY - "pick our brain" and get as much feedback and design ideas as we have time for in our session 2) Done With You - eDesign, our design software allows us to work with clients anywhere in the world). We'll create a Mood Board, Concept Board, a Curated Shopping List (including stoppable links), Furniture Layout, and Styling Notes for you to implement on your own. 3) Done For You - You'll get everything in the Done With You package, but we'll come onsite to your space to help you create a finished design with all the right touches to make it photo-ready. *Begins with a paid consultation which is credited back to the project should we move forward for full-service design. We have a standard 'per room' fee, but typically price per project for more than one room.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Most projects begin with a short call to make sure we feel like a mutual good fit. If the client is local to CT/RI, we typically will set up a Consultation to come and view the space, review the client's design questionnaire and inspiration photos, and take before photos and measurements. If the client isn't local, we'll do this meeting virtually. Next we create a Mood Board to capture the overall feel of the design which can include inspiration images, color palette, and elements that elicit the feeling of the space. After reviewing the Mood Board and making sure we're on the same page with clients, we move on to the Concept Board(s) where we pull together the exact furnishings, decor, and accessories for the new design. Once the Concept Board is finalized with client approval a floor plan, customer curated shopping listing with stoppable links, and styling notes are delivered which brings the design vision to life! Clients have the option of having us come and do the final styling for a magazine-worthy photo finish.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
We love learning and believe it never ends! We completed our Staging & Redesign certification through Home Staging Resources, which is one of the most comprehensive training programs in the country. We also have specialty training and certification in Short Term Rental design and marketing. When not working on projects for clients or our own homes, we're reading books, articles, studying photos, and taking specialty classes.
