Dana and her team are responsive, professional, and a pleasure to work with. During our initial consultation Dana asked great questions allowing both her and us to develop a vision for the space that would function as we need it to. Her insight and creativity resulted in a clear path forward and with her and her team’s expertise we’ll turn the vision into reality!

Dana came to my house for a consultation to help me decide what size and style furniture would work in my living room. She’s very knowledgeable and patient, went over multiple layouts for me to choose from and recommended furniture. I highly recommend.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Renovating, remodeling, or having a construction rebuild isn't necessary to accomplish your remodel design goals. In addition to researching new colors, decorative elements, lighting, flooring, cabinetry, window coverings, furnishings, and other updates, we can help you stay within your budget while achieving your room design goals.
In the end, you get a completely new look for your space without the high cost or lengthy timeline of remodeling. Generally, we can complete your Visual Design Recommendation Plan within a week or two after your initial consultation appointment.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our process begins with a consultation to discuss your vision for your space, its functionality, and your budget. Budget, timeline, and the room's overall theme.
After that, we work on design layouts, research element updates, and color choices to create design solutions that are streamlined, fresh, and tailored to your needs.
Once your concept has been approved, we prepare a customized Visual Design Recommendation Plan that includes a full-color rendering of your design and updated elements within your space. There is no cookie-cutter approach to our renderings. We tailor the design to your needs and make it fit your space.
We will help you achieve your vision on your own or with the help of our referred professionals. In addition, you will receive a shopping list to confirm where to purchase the updated items.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In addition to visual design, we are experts in repairs, upscale home maintenance, flooring, carpeting, lighting, furnishings, painting, window treatment, decorations, personalized art decor, and more. Our training and work experience allow us to deliver proficient results. I
We work with premium building owners, parade of homes owners, realtors, and others to promote, personalize, and improve their properties. There is beauty in every space, regardless of size or shape.
