Services
Interior Design
Adding vision, elegance, and style to your home – I strive
to partner with my clients to create a special interior that
merges your imagination with design solutions that work. The
end result is a home that reflects your unique personality
and comfort. My design philosophy is to make the
transformation of your space an enjoyable and interactive
journey. Creativity, project management, and communication
play equal amounts of importance when I take on any
assignment, large or small.
Kitchen Remodels
Helping homeowners analyze their needs for kitchen design
and practicality for everyday life – today’s array of
technology, virtually limitless choice of materials, and
design influences from around the world distilled into a
distinctive command central that suits you and your family.
Creating a timeless classic, retro, or contemporary heart of
the house my clients love to spend time in, for cooking,
entertaining, relaxing, or managing daily activities.
Bath Renovations
Creating the ultimate home oasis with soothing colors,
stunning materials, and all the accoutrements of a space you
feel pampered in – every day. A cozy master suite with bath,
a fresh kids bath look, or transformation of your powder
room into a jewel box – the outcome will be lavish, fun, or
plain outstanding – no matter the budget.
Color Guidance
Developing color for interiors – Building a paint scheme
upon existing furnishings, or fashioning a complete new
combination using imagination, designer-only tools, and
examination of light sources. For decorative effects, I
partner with imaginative and resourceful artists.
Custom Window Treatments
Crafting stunning custom window coverings for decorative or
functional purposes. Fabric, natural shades, or complete
light control drives my recommendation for Roman shades,
wood shutters, blinds, solar shades, or curtains. Often,
layered looks are created to give dimension and interest,
“framing” the window while giving privacy.
Furniture Arrangements and Rearrangements
Do you have a challenging room with too many ins and outs? I
assist my clients with a logical layout that works. Room
size, scale of furniture, and frequency of usage all play a
major role in how to arrange a conversation area, a calming
bedroom, or a serviceable home study.
Acquisition of new Furnishings
Sourcing and purchasing services – Trade-Only Resources,
Online, or Retail. Helping my clients get out of
time-consuming weekend trips to stores by identifying their
needs, style and budget, and making appropriate suggestions.
I work with a wide variety of sources and product lines to
make your interior eclectic and one-of-its-kind.
Media, Hobby & Game Rooms
Special purpose rooms call for special furnishings, whether
it’s the oversized TV Recliner, dedicated Poker table, or a
bar. Together, we come up with a space plan that
accommodates and invites a variety of purposes for the room,
so all members of the family can enjoy the space. Hobbies
may be expressed through wall art, unusual accessories, or
color.
Kids Rooms
Creating a fun room for a child that matures with its young
occupant. Selection process (and subsequent toning down) of
bright colors chosen by your budding little designer is
gently adjusted for everyday use. Letting kids in on the
design process is a major key to success!
Green Design
Guiding clients towards sustainable materials, processes,
and making a smaller carbon footprint with local products.
As the array of environmentally responsible design option
widens, providing knowledge and recommendations while
keeping with the desired style.
Custom Built-Ins
If all off-the-shelf furniture options fail to give the
proper dimension, purpose, or functionality, a custom design
may be required. I consult with many talented cabinetmakers
in the Bay Area who craft amazing pieces. Quotes including
building, finishing, and installing are derived from initial
drawings outlining design solution the piece addresses.
Staging and other services
Redesign – Vacant – Consultation
Providing harmonious interiors to help your buyers visualize
their furniture in the space, and turning a “home” into a
“property”. Each staging campaign becomes a custom project,
whether it is a vacant house, a condo in need of
rearrangement & accessorizing, or a consultation only for
hands-on sellers. Timeliness is a critical factor, and
working well with listing agents a must. Let my 6+ years
experience guide you to the right level of investment.
Holiday & Special Event Décor
For clients with little time, I orchestrate an exciting
temporary display to show off their entertaining style.
Holiday Parties, Christenings, Kids’ Birthdays, and many
other joyful celebrations have been “staged” for discerning
hosts. Cooperation with the catering service and providing
the right props guarantees a fully integrated plan, working
to enchant all guests alike.
