This is the first stop in all our client relationships. This may be a scheduled color-consultation if you already have all the other pieces of your home in order. Otherwise, this is the meeting where we get a one-on-one. We get to know you, your space, and its function. During our visit we evaluate, gather detailed measurements, and gather images.
This next step offers everything at your fingertips needed for your custom project. You’ll receive anything necessary to communicate the design (visuals, samples, renderings, colors). The plan also comes with a sourcebook and links so you can make purchases yourself. Maybe you area DIY-er but don’t feel you have an eye for design. We can do the planning for you, and you will have a plan at your fingertips to hit the ground running. Should you want us to implement the design plan, we offer full service.
Let us take care of everything you need start to finish for you. Design related selections can overwhelm during the construction process. Orders need to be placed, trades need to be scheduled, problems need to be solved with contractors – we can manage all that for you, especially if you are a busy person. Our services include the final curating of accessories, giving your space that “finished” feeling most don’t experience outside of a design team.
Do you want to learn from us? We have an exclusive group with growing content & a video series that teaches you everything you need to know to get started designing your project.
We practice and teach from a heart of worship. This unique God-centered design class is available completely FREE online through FB Groups.
As about our speaking and workshop events as well!
Barbara recently did the design and decorating work for our new church facility - Water's Edge UMC in New Buffalo, Michigan. Imagine trying to satisfy 200 plus clients with 200 plus views. Not an easy task, yet she pulled it off. She was attentive to our vision and helped create a modern look with clean lines and a bit of an industrial feel. In addition to helping select colors, flooring and fixtures for the church Commons she also helped us select just the right furnishings to pull it all together. In short, she is a capable full-service designer.
Warm and easy to work with, yet thoroughly profession and attentive to details, I highly recommend Barbara for your design and/or decorating project.
Barbara was asked to provide interior decorating advice for a new church building that we constructed. I was very impressed with her organizational capabilities and her knowledge of what colors, accessories, etc. should go in each room of the building. She made many trips on site, and even took time to spend an entire day with our team as we went to the builder's headquarters to pick out items. She was mindful of our budget, and managed her work accordingly.
Whenver I had a question about what should go in a room, she knew exactly what the answer was. There have been many, many complements about how beautiful the building is, and much of that is a credit to her. Not only does she understand interior decorating, but she understands people and how to work with them.
Based upon the superior job she did for us, I would highly recommend her.
