DISCOVERY & CONSULTATION & SCOPE OF WORK

The discovery call assesses your project timeline and scope work, along with our availability. In a nutshell, upon initial contact, we’ll gather and share as much information as possible. We then come out to see the space in person, listen to your ideas and vision, discuss the process and provide you with ideas and direction for your project. This working, in person consultation is our kickoff … kind of like a “first date!” After understanding all your needs, we will be able to quote you a price for your project. Pricing is dependent upon the scope of work.

We will email you a Proposal following the consultation, this outlines scope of work, estimated hours, estimated design fees, and the advance on the design fee, merchandise sourcing/purchasing overview that is required to get started. Once the advance on the DRL Home design fee has been paid, that signals the start of the project, and work begins like the design plan, researching and sourcing furniture, assembling trades to acquire quotes, and the finer things like fabrics, finishes, and budgeting for review and approval.

Furnishings/Merchandise Proposal - 80% of budget/estimates and signing of any Furnishings Proposals or quotes to move forward with purchasing and project management phase is required. Note: a 15 hour minimum for services is required and time will be charged for agreed upon sourced items that go unpurchased.

Or, alternatively, do you just want a consultation with me to pick my brain, perhaps receive a written report of my findings and recommendations to DIY your project?

Color Consultation Services - Interior, Exterior

Most people avoid painting the interior and exterior of their home because it feels overwhelming, stressful and time consuming … or worse, it’s scary to make a costly mistake. Plus, there are so many color choices that it’s hard to know where to begin. I simplify the process and create a custom color palette chosen specifically for you. This takes into consideration your personal taste and furnishings, as well as natural (and unnatural) lighting. 

This popular service provides recommendations & strategy using paint and wall coverings to enhance your home, both inside and out. Using ideal palettes that will connect the style and spaces of your home for a transition and flow that feels good to you. Following the tour and consultation, you’ll receive a list of the specific recommendations as well as referrals for paint and wall covering professionals if needed. Think of this as color with no regrets. 

Investment estimate: Starting at $295, approximately 2-hours. Following that, $100 per hour until project completion.

RENOVATIONS, FURNISHINGS & STYLING

I swoon over floor plans, furnishings, fabrics, innovative lighting, clever styling and finishes. Let me live in my happy place, keep you sane and allow you to avoid costly mistakes, fear, paralysis, fatigue or death by 1,000 decisions - - that’s what this is all about. You don’t need to go it alone. With dozens of renovation and redesign projects under my belt, I am perfectly positioned to keep you on track. A process driven plan keeps things moving as we proceed through the various stages of your project with the big picture in mind. For the investment, think about a deposit and or retainer, 10% of the total budget for a renovation, and cost-plus for your project with DRL Home.

Create a plan - take stock, take measurements, explore the possibilities for laying and layering furnishings into the space, while taking into consideration the client’s lifestyle. Are you a social butterfly, workaholic, couch potato, entertainer, computer geek, or amidst a family frenzy? We ask all the right questions so we can come up with the most comfortable and functional space that is not only stylish, but also works for you and yours. We source pieces from the biggest item, like a sectional, to the smallest of details, like throw pillows. Depending on your budget, we source from vendors accordingly that sell to the trade, and from online, retail, wholesale, or boutique marketplaces. We have an arsenal of resources in our and your corner to make selections and purchasing. 

While I love to tackle a home from head to toe, many projects are a couple of rooms at a time. And, what I am most proud of is the amount of repeat business I have! I also wish I could professionally photograph all of it room by room, but alas that would leave me with no time or money to actually do what I do.
