The Process
COMPLIMENTARY DISCOVERY CALL: This 20 minute casual conversation is used to connect, discuss your project and needs, and to schedule an in-home consultation.
$350 2 HOUR IN-HOME CONSULTATION: Thank you for welcoming me into your home! This 2 hour meeting will be used to gain a clearer understanding of your design needs. I will tour throughout, take pictures and notes, provide preliminary recommendations, determine next steps. This time can be used however you want and I can provide paint recommendations, furniture specifications, and any other ideas you want to discuss whether or not we end up working together beyond this meeting. Typically this meeting leads to the next step in the process but can also serve as a standalone meeting for clients just wanting design guidance to get started on a DIY project. Need more than 2-hours? No problem! I can create a custom rate for your longer consultation during our Discovery Call.
All advice, meeting and travel time within a 20 mile radius of Fort Collins, Colorado is included in this $350 advanced fee.
THE DESIGN AGREEMENT: After our meeting, I will present a tailored proposal + preliminary project timeline for my Interior Design services. Proposals are structured based on your unique project scope and budget; either a set fee or an hourly retainer. (I elaborate on these types below) Your custom proposal will clearly define the scope of work and fee we agree upon.
SET FEE: Typically used in Full Service Design for new builds, larger home renovations, or clearly defined projects such as a kitchen remodel or kitchen, primary bath, fireplace renovation, for example. Leave everything to me- from start to finish. Comprehensive planning & design, full documents & specifications, procurement & coordination with access to my trade-only resources, on site project management…all up until the final installation, curated styling, and the big reveal!
HOURLY RETAINER: $135 hourly. A retainer is a wonderful option for those that have a more open-ended project, simple updates, and/or finishing touches. Retainers are billed up front and this allows for maximum flexibility in how we focus and are utilized towards the design priorities. This option is commonly used for more a-la-carte projects where the scope of work is loosely defined and may perhaps grow as the project evolves.
PROJECT KICK OFF: Once the proposal is signed, it’s design time!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: We are building a new custom home from scratch. Can you help with everything?
A: Absolutely! I can be with you every step of the way from working on floor plans to hanging art and placing accessories at the end and everything in between including selecting finishes, colors, cabinet design, space planning, and furniture selections.
Q: What style of interior design do you do?
A: I am comfortable working in a range of styles and can honestly say that one of my greatest strengths as a designer is to listen to my client and help them pinpoint their style. I am equally comfortable designing a modern farmhouse style as I am designing a traditional style home with intricate details. I can and will do any style! Don’t know your style? That’s okay too! I will ask the right questions to get you the style you want, even if you don’t have the right words to communicate it exactly.
Q: We are remodeling in Fort Collins and have a lot of existing parameters to deal with. We may be moving walls and plumbing. Is this something you are experienced and comfortable with?
A: Yes, I am very comfortable working with remodels and the unique set of challenges a remodel can bring. I have done over 100 remodels in Fort Collins/Loveland area and am familiar with the process and the costs associated with remodels. Some of my favorite projects have been remodels!
Q: We live in Greeley. Would you be willing to come over here to work on our project?
A: Yes! I often work in Greeley. In fact, I have worked all along the Front Range from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Colorado Springs and occasionally work in other parts of the country as well including Nebraska, Oregon, California, Alaska, Missouri, Montana, Indiana, Florida, and Idaho.
