OUR AREAS OF EXPERTISE
"Stephanie is the ultimate professional. She worked with us to complete a remodel of our entire first floor. She is easy to work with, has wonderful ideas and will bring your home to another level of sophistication and beauty. She is very conscious of your budget and will provide great ideas to work with you on a design within your finances. I love, love, love the way our home has turned out and I am constantly receiving compliments from friends and neighbors on it’s beauty. Can’t wait to work with her on Phase II of our project!"
Paige Rogers
Stephanie has earned the highest recommendation from me. I am (most likely) one of her older clients and she is the first decorator I've worked with who entered my home and didn't tell me to discard some of my traditional furniture. She respects your choices and your personal style. Most importantly, she appreciates the sentimental value of certain pieces. One of her strengths is the way in which she is able to incorporate your existing furnishings into a more current design. She accomplishes this, all while infusing her own unique direction to ensure that your goals are met and most often, exceeded. Another strength is her ability to work collaboratively with her clients to make sure she is "on track" with choices, style, budget and progress. She is delightful to work with and accommodating too. She will "make it happen" for you and you will be thrilled with the end result. Hire her with confidence and you'll never look back. She is well educated, articulate, and just plain fabulous. AND you will fall in love with your home and your space all over again!

I could not recommend Stephanie enough. She designed our great room & kitchen area including custom furniture and accessories and I am in love with the finished product. She is a good listener, prompt, knowledgeable, and has great taste. She is the absolute best!

our process
Our collaborative process allows us to fully understand your desires for the space and your preferences. Throughout working together our team is extremely diligent and hands on through every step, ensuring the project goes exactly to plan.
INITAL CONTACT
Our initial consultation is where we cover project goals, the scope of work, and the design intent for the space. During this consultation we also discuss our contract, fees, and design retainer.
discovery
After the initial consultation, once the contract is signed and our retainer is paid, we can move forward with discovery. This is a very important piece of the design process. Discovery allows us to fully understand your desires for the space and your preferences. Design and art are very personal, specifically in the home. Our goal is to create the best visually and functionally designed space for you. We want to know as much about your likes and dislikes as possible, so during this phase we will ask you to send us inspiration, make pinterest boards, and let us know what parts of your space are most important to your lifestyle.
design presentation
This meeting is where we present the full scheme for the phase of the project we are in. At this meeting, we go over what we believe to be the best design for your aesthetic and intended use of the space. This may include renderings, floor plans, elevations, samples, pricing, suggestions, and progress/install timelines.
procurement
After the design has been agreed upon and signed off on by our clients, we start the procurement process.Our procurement team works closely with clients during this process, and keeps close track of all arrival dates for selected items. We provide custom tracking sheets that get updated weekly, to make sure clients are kept aware of any backorders or other issues that may delay installation.
project management
Project oversight and management services are offered to our clients during the construction/renovation portion of their project. This includes supervision and inspection of all work onsite. Working directly with installers and contractors gives us the opportunity to address any issues during this phase efficiently and effectively.This greatly decreases the chances of issues affecting the final design of the space.
install
Install changes on a project to project basis. For some clients, it is more comfortable for installation to occur in stages as items come in; some clients prefer to have everything installed at one time. Let us know which items are the most pressing for you to have installed for your lifestyle, and we will do everything we can to get those areas finished first. We encourage clients to wait until the majority of their selections have been received before beginning installation. This makes the impact of this phase as minimally invasive and cost effective as possible.
design fees
Our Design Fees are set at $200 an hour for Principal Design Services, with an initial retainer of $6000 before beginning project scope. Additional design fees include $50 an hour for Assistant Design, $100 an hour for Junior Designer and $150 an hour for Senior Design Services.
drawing fees
We are happy to provide conceptual drawings of desired spaces, for permitting or space planning, with initial fees starting at $1500.
