I listen closely to my clients so I can produce unique, personalized rooms that reflect them, not me.

Can you work within my budget?

Assuming we have the same basic parameters for the project. I'll deliver top value for your dollar. If necessary, we can do the work in phases.

What should I bring to our first meeting?

First thing to have is an idea of what you want. Maybe pictures of rooms from magazines, paint samples, fabric swatches, even a flower or a favorite blouse. Try to come up with a color palette using anything that inspires you and a few words why.  Any ideas you have would be helpful.

Do I have to hire you for the whole house?

I'm happy to help with smaller projects. I hope this will be the start of a lasting relationship.

Will you incorporate my furnishings?

We'll try to work in pieces with sentimental or practical value. But sometimes old items can get in the way of new design goals, so be willing to let go - or at least update them with new fabrics, finishes or hardware.

Will you hire qualified subcontractors?

I have long histories with my delivery people and contractors. What's more, they will respect you and your home or never work for me again.

What are your pet peeves?

Miscommunication between partners makes my job hard. If you want to start in the kitchen, make sure your spouse does too! Finally, chronic indecision or reverse of decisions can bring a project to a halt.

What are your qualifications?

I have been in the Design business for 25 years. I graduated with a B.S. in Interior Design from the University of Texas.
