About
As principal of the firm, I have been in the design business since 1992. I have owned and managed a Home Furnishings shop (The Design Place) along with providing everything from "one-day design makeovers," to real estate staging, to color consultations, to complete project management for new construction, bank construction and furniture planning, to adding the "icing on the cake" with custom window treatments and accessories. I have a B.A. in English and an Art minor. I have studied in the design field extensively, along with many years of "on-the-job" experience. My design staff includes one Interior Designer with a B.S. in Interior Design from Mt. Ida College, Newton, MA (also ASID) and one Design Assiociate currently enrolled in a certificate program at the Boston Architectural Center. We participated in a Design Workshop Day sponsored by a local Remodeling and Kitchen/Bath Design company which included Michael Payne of HGTV fame. We have also designed a room at a Boston area Decorator Showhouse to rave reviews. Our work has appeared in Signature Kitchen and Bath magazine (2005).
Services Offered
We are totally committed to serving our clients through a team approach to providing detailed DESIGN PLANS - from space planning for new residences or remodeling existing spaces - to complete fit-out and furniture acquisition for small offices and banks. We use a unique "Visual Thumbprint" exercise with each new client to learn how they SEE things before any recommendations are made. We look for shapes, contrast, color values and hues, patterns, a sense of openness or enclosure, a sense of formality and symmetry, or a more casual, relaxed feel in the images the client selects. This allows us to pin down preferences and ensures we are on solid ground with regard to visual preferences before embarking on a design project. We excel in project planning, project management and keeping to specific budget requirements to achieve the best look and design possible. We favor a personalized approach to each project which builds on trust and confidence, which ultimately leads to repeat clients and long-term relationships. Our style is a reflection of each clients' "visual thumbprint" along with our own interest in mixing old and new...blending cherished personal objects, REAL art and functional pieces that fit the needs. We love fabrics, textures and the ability to "pull" all the pieces together to create a cohesive and interesting space. We would love to meet you and help meet your design goals and dreams. We serve clients in Eastern Massachusetts, Southern New Hampshire and Southern Maine. All projects will be considered.
Awards
There's no information available.
Fee Structures
We accept design projects that require a minimum of 10 hours of work, and thus, request a $1500 minimum deposit toward ALL project engagements. Following a NO FEE personal client interview, we prepare a detailed Project Scope of Work Proposal. Based on the specific project requirements, we will bill Hourly or on a Fixed Fee basis, with the fees tied to specific project deliverables or milestones. Once the proposal is accepted, we execute a Letter of Agreement between the client and our firm which outlines the terms of the engagement. All product purchases are managed by our firm, with written estimates presented for approval. Deposits for furnishings are requested to start the process moving. When design service bills are sent, payment is expected upon receipt.
