FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer a complementary in home consultation which usually last 1.5 to 2 hrs. depending on your design needs. I can stage the main area's of living room, dining area, kitchen, and master suit using my furniture. This would be at a fixed rate per sq. foot for a contract of 90 days or until the home sells, whichever comes first. The contract can be renewed for another 90 days, or the contract expires and we will pick up the furniture. or I can charge by the hour, staging the main area's of your home using your furniture and accessories. With this option, I will come to your home, rearrange furniture, pictures and accessories that you currently have. If you would like a more designer look, I can shop for new items like curtains, accessories, or paint colors to help freshen up your current look.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My typical process is to meet in person for a complementary consultation. During this time, I will learn more about the project and see the space to be designed. I tour the space and get a feel for the layout and the overall design of the room. Afterwards I will sit down with you to discus in further detail, your wants and needs and how you feel you can utilize my services best. I will ask pertinent questions to get as many details as possible from you. I will then explain, if hired, how the design process works from start to finish.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor of Science Degree from East Tennessee State University. I am also continually studying new trends and designs in interior decorating through, The Design Institute of California. Before starting my own business in 2012, I was an interior designer for Ethan Allen Galleries, designing homes with custom made furnishings, fabrics, accessories, window treatments and carpeting/area rugs.
