When It’s Time To Ask For a Design Consultation

We’re often asked how to get started in any kind of construction or renovation project, so we wanted to describe WHY you would want a design consultation, how it works and what you’ll get out of it.

Are you a candidate for a Design Consultation? Here’s how to tell:

  • Are there certain features in your house that you don’t like, but are resigned to the fact that it’s “just the way this house is”?
  • Are you planning on a large construction project in the future, and are adding a list of small changes that are going to get done along with the larger project?
  • Are you planning a kitchen project, but wish you could discuss possibilities for what could also get done in the basement or master bath?
  • Does your family’s living space allow for connections from the kitchen to adjacent spaces so you don’t feel isolated while cooking?
  • Is your house configured for ease of entertaining or family gatherings you would like to have?
  • Do you wish you had more natural light or a better view to nature, or your yard?
  • Do you know your house doesn’t feel right, wish it could change, but don’t know how it should be different?

Here’s How It Works and What To Expect

If you said yes to any of these questions, you may indeed be ready for a Design Consultation, which, not surprisingly, takes place at the project site (in your home). We walk through and around the house with you and look at what you love, what you hate, and all the possibilities.

We ask tons of questions, and often questions you have never even considered. We discuss and weigh the merits of various possible design solutions. And we ask more questions. We LISTEN! Your ideas are tossed around with our ideas. We offer our knowledge and our expertise and possibly alternate options.

The Design Consultation could lead to a master plan for projects to be done over time, or it could lead to a small project to hold you over, or it could lead to that amazing full transformation of your house that you have been dreaming of for years.

It all boils down to this one BIG question: Are you ready to LOVE your home?

This is what we do – we make you fall in love with your home as if you’re seeing it for the first time; because in a sense, you are. It may not be the house you purchased, but it will be the house you’ll love coming home to, each and every day.


Your surroundings can totally affect your life,
your spirit, your emotional well being!

Do you have transformational dreams for your house and
simply can’t “see it happening?”
