Consults and packages
Services
A clear scope for every consult and package. Start with one question, or hand me the whole selections list.
Some people need one answer: which faucet, which pull, which tile. Others want someone beside them for the whole selections list. Both are welcome here.
Every consult and package has a set scope. If you're not sure where you fit, get in touch and we'll work it out together.

A few minutes

We go over the space, your style and what's on your list. You get written notes with my picks.

Step 3: I pull it together
If you want more help, I build your board and selections sheet: each finish, model and color, and what it costs against your allowance.

We review it together and change what doesn't feel right. Then you send your builder a finished list.
Before each deadline

Questions
Good questions to ask first
My builder has a designer or a design center. Do I still need you?
Maybe not. A builder's designer knows their options well. I'm on your side of the table. I help you decide what matters to you, where an upgrade pays off and where the standard option is fine. A 60-minute consult before your design-center appointment is a good way to walk in with a plan.
Will you work with my builder's options list and allowances?
Yes. That's where I start. I work from the options and allowances your builder gives you, and I flag anything that would put you over before you commit.
What if I don't know my style?
That's fine, and it's common. Send me a few photos of rooms you like, even screenshots, and tell me what you can't stand. Between the two, we'll find it quickly.
Does the consult fee count toward a package?
Yes. If you book a package within 30 days of your consult, the full consult fee comes off the package price.
How do payments work?
Consults are paid up front. Packages take a deposit to get on my calendar, and the balance is due when I deliver your plan.
Do you come to my home?
Yes. Travel within 25 miles is included. Farther out there's a travel fee, or we can meet by video.
Do I buy everything through you?
No. You get a shopping list with links and you buy direct, so you see every price and keep every receipt. I don't hold your money for products.
Can we do it all by video?
Yes. Both consults work by video from anywhere, and so does the Room Refresh kickoff. Send plans, photos or your options list ahead of time and we'll work from those.
What if I need more time than my package covers?
Extra time is billed hourly, in 15-minute steps. I'll check with you before I go past what your package includes.
Not sure which one fits?
Start with a consult. If you book a package within 30 days, the fee comes off.
