Step 1: Getting to Know You

Our passion is not just for turning houses into homes, but for enhancing lives and lifting spirits. We believe this is best accomplished when we take the time to truly get to know each client. Based on our company’s core values, we are happy to report that many of our clients become lifelong friends! During the initial meeting, we’ll get to know all about who you are, and what you envision to be your dream home. We’ll learn about your lifestyle and how you want your space to function. This will determine the project scope and set the design direction.

Step 2: Initial Design Presentation

It’s time to get down to business! Based on the initial meeting, your designer will draft a custom design presentation for your project.

The presentation will include the following:

• Concepts for design, color and style of the overall project
• Layouts of furniture, custom built-ins and wall/ceiling concepts to help the client envision the room
• Preliminary suggestions for furnishings, area rugs, carpet and window treatments
• Minimum of three fabric and furniture alternatives will be provided based on the clients feedback

Step 3: Approval & Procurement

After making your selections from the design presentation, we will compose a final design proposal. This will include descriptions, dimensions and pricing for each individual piece. Once you provide final approval and deposit on the proposal, it’s time to start ordering!

Step 4: Project Tracking & Delivery

All orders will be checked regularly for production time and status. You will receive status reports and estimated delivery information throughout the project on all orders. All items will be received, inspected, and stored in our warehouse. This allows us to guarantee quality control, and relieves you from dealing with any logistical issues.

Step 5: Installation

Whether you are in town or out of town, sit back and relax as we choreograph all on-site installations. This includes the coordination of all sub-contractors—painters, carpet installers, wall finishing, window treatments, furniture delivery, custom cabinetry, etc—so that the transformation of your home happens efficiently and effectively.

Step 6: Construction Administration (If Required)

• Floor Plans – When possible the Project Architect will send us the CAD (Computer Aided Design) plans. If they are not available we will generate a CAD plan from existing hard copy plans
• Review Plans – We will review your architectural plans to insure they accommodate all of the interior functions you have requested
• Elevations – We will execute elevations for all millwork, cabinetry, stone/tile layouts.
• Selections, Specifications and Schedules- we will help you make all of your selections and provide specifications and schedules for your contractor or sub contractor to include the following: lighting and electrical to coordinate with your furniture plan. Selections for all flooring, interior and exterior, counter tops, appliances, plumbing, millwork to include cabinetry. Interior/exterior doors, applicable hardware, millwork and molding design, wall finishes, paint, tile stone and mirror.
• Construction Book – all selections will be included in a construction book showing location, direction, specification and pictures of all material selections along with wall elevations, ceiling and other details to insure the design intent is executed in the field
• Timelines – We will assist the client with prioritizing selections to accommodate the construction schedule. However, it is the responsibility of the general contractor to meet the specified deadlines.
• Audio/Visual Consultation – Consultation with Audio/Visual company regarding Specifications and placement
• Site Supervision and Project Meetings – We will make site visitations and meet with the contractor/subcontractors as needed to either assist you and or on your behalf and provide pictures/updates
