How we work

Services

Launch offer

The first six consults are free.

I'm opening with six complimentary consults so I can start with real homes instead of stock photos. Same hour, same written plan. In person if you're in Chicagoland, over video if you're not. All I ask is honest feedback and, if you're happy, permission to photograph the room.

Room refresh

$850 first room · $600 each additional

The heart of what I do. One room, completely designed, delivered as a plan you execute on your own timeline. Every decision made for you, with a shoppable source list at a range of price points. Works just as well over video as in person — most of my clients are nowhere near Illinois.

  • Live video walkthrough, or in person if you're local
  • A measuring guide so nothing gets mis-sized
  • Scaled floor plan with furniture layout
  • Full palette with real paint codes
  • Shoppable source list with links and alternates
  • Budget breakdown by category
  • Styling notes and the order to buy in
  • One round of revisions

Add an install day — $600, local only. You order everything and get it unboxed; I come for a day to place it, style it, and photograph the finished room.

Design consult

$250 virtual · $350 in your home

One hour on whatever you've been stuck on. Paint, layout, scale, what to keep and what to let go. You get a written summary within 48 hours, and the fee comes off a Room Refresh if you book one within 60 days.

  • One hour, live video or in your home
  • Any rooms you like
  • Layout and scale problem-solving
  • Paint and finish direction
  • Honest guidance on what stays and what goes
  • Written summary within 48 hours
  • Credited toward a Refresh within 60 days

Full service

Quoted individually

For a whole home or a full floor, where you'd rather hand the entire thing over. I run the project: sourcing, ordering, tracking, vendor and contractor coordination, and install day.

Full-service projects are quoted individually and begin with a paid consultation. I take a small number each year, because doing it properly means being genuinely available for months at a time. If it's the right fit we'll both know by the end of that first conversation.

  • Everything in a Room Refresh, across every room
  • Sourcing, quoting, and specification
  • All ordering and purchase tracking
  • Lead times, backorders, and damage claims handled
  • Contractor and vendor coordination
  • Install and styling day
  • Local projects only
What to expect

The process

Inquiry

You send photos, dimensions if you have them, and what isn't working. I reply within two business days.

Walkthrough

On video or in person. We go through the room together and talk about how you actually use it — including the parts you would rather not admit to. If we're working remotely I'll send you my measuring guide first, and we'll take the numbers that matter together on the call.

Concept

You see one clear direction, not five. Palette, materials, layout, and a budget allocation you can react to.

Sourcing

Every piece specced and priced, with alternates at different budgets and the order to buy in. On a Refresh the list is yours to shop. On a full-service project I place and track everything.

Install

For local projects, I come for a day to place, style, and photograph the finished room. You come home to a room instead of a pile of boxes.

One more thing

Not sure which one fits?

Send me the room and the problem. I'll tell you honestly which package you need — including when the answer is the cheapest one.
