*Confused about color?

In-home color consultation, $75 first room, $30 per additional room.

Stop wasting time and money choosing the wrong colors. I'll discuss your style preferences and needs for each room, then develop a palette of colors you can apply to walls and everything else in the space. Your custom color palette will be presented using specific paint chips on a handy card you can keep for reference. Extra-large paint swatches are available by request at no extra charge.

 


*Want to make the most of what you already have?

Interior redesign session: $100 first hour, $50 per additional hour

You'll be surprised how I can improve your room using only what you already own. I'll need your help rearranging furniture and scoping out your entire house/garage/attic for hidden treasures. I'll leave you with an improved room, advice on purchases to consider, a recommended wall color or two, and a new love for your stuff. Sometimes you don't need new stuff, you just need a new outlook. Expect 2 to 3 hours per room.

*Just need a little advice?

Design consultation: $60 per hour

Need a few questions answered or a nudge in the right design direction? Maybe you just want some professional decorating advice before starting on a DIY project. Email me! I can help you choose colors, surfaces, and materials; develop a space plan; select or design window treatments; choose the right flooring or fixtures. I'm different from most decorators and designers: I never sell you a thing, never charge a markup, never accept a commission. I only charge for my design expertise—no product markups, no sales pitch, no manufacturer alliances—just good design and color advice.

 


*Trying to sell your house?

Home staging session: $100 first hour, $50 per additional hour
Home staging consultation only: $100 flat fee

Home staging can help sell your house faster, and maybe even for a higher price. I'll come in with brutal honesty and an eye toward making your place appeal to buyers. We'll work together to get your home market-ready, and I'll leave you with a list of additional recommended changes inside and out that will help get it sold. Just want home staging advice? I'll scope out your house and give you a list of recommended improvements for a flat fee of $100.
