You’ve got questions…I’ve got answers:

How do I know if E-Design is right for me?

E-design is ideal for those who have the desire to do the legwork with their own shopping, styling and implementing but want the guidance and assistance from a professional. My e-Design projects give you everything you need to implement the plan and install and style your space. Some questions to consider are: Do you feel able to measure and photograph your space? Are you comfortable articulating through inspiration images and product links exactly what you like? Are you willing to order products on your own and handle any returns/exchanges? Can you hire any tradesmen (painter, installer, etc) on your own to complete design portions that are beyond your skill level?

These questions could seem daunting but don’t worry I’m happy to help you along the way. I would love to answer any additional questions as you explore the possibility of e-design.

How does the e-design project work?

First I’ll gather information about your project through a questionnaire, ask a few follow up questions and then give you a bit of homework to make sure we are on the same page. From there your concept is drafted, delivered and we will work through it together, focusing in further on your final design (up to 2 revisions are included with your project). Next your final design is delivered and it’s time to go shopping!

i have an open concept home, if e-design in a per room project can it work in my home?

Absolutely! Each project includes the complete design and furnishings selection for one defined space. For example, if your open floor plan includes both a living and dining space, you would choose one per project. If you would like both spaces designed simultaneously (and I highly recommend this when it comes to open concept so we can keep things cohesive) I would be happy to quote you an additional package so both rooms may be completed together! If you have any other questions on open concept spaces please drop me a line here, I’m happy to help!

How long does the e-design process take?

A typical project takes 2-3 weeks to be completed. I will let you know upfront if that lead time has changed and will always stay in touch with updates along the way.

How much does an e-design project cost?

A typical e-design package can range in cost from $800-1500 for a full room. I also offer a la carte sourcing if you are only looking for a specific piece of finishing touches. Please contact me with your project needs to fill out my design questionnaire and receive an accurate quote.

When and how do I pay for my project?

Once I’ve received your questionnaire I’ll review your project and send you a quote and a PayPal invoice right to your email. Your e-design project will start once I have received payment in full.

Can some of my existing furniture pieces or decor be incorporated in the design plan?

Absolutely! Just bought that new sofa or have a family heirloom you you love?  No worries, just let me know! I’ll make sure to get any information about them (i.e. dimensions and photos) that will help me incorporate them into your design.

What is included in my design? What will I recive when the project is completed?

When your project is complete you will be presented with a final design board, a floor plan with furniture layout, install tips and instructions, and detailed shopping list (including sources).

But you’ve never seen my space in person, how can I be sure that the pieces you suggest will fit?

In the beginning of your project I’ll give you a little homework. You’ll receive detailed instructions for submitting accurate room measurements. It is very important to carefully and accurately follow these instructions when measuring your space. Since I have never seen your space in person, I’ll rely on this information to create your space. Remember, I’m a designer, not a magician! I cannot be responsible for incorrect information provided. I strongly recommend double-checking your measurements and please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need any help!

Is e-design done all online? How do we communicate during the process?

The entire process is done completely online and all standard communication is done via email. This makes it easy to track all correspondence and interaction. However, I totally understand that picking up the phone can make things so much easier and faster sometimes! I offer TWO thirty minute phone/video chats if you need help at the beginning of our project, during revisions or when you are installing your space. If you need more time on the phone to chat I’m happy to bill you at $99/hr fee for any questions, help or resourcing.

HOW OFTEN CAN I REACH OUT TO YOU DURING THE DESIGN PROCESS?

Anytime you have a question! I’m committed to making sure you have a great experience and want to be sure all of your questions are answered. And I understand that different parts of the process may bring up extra thoughts or concerns - so don’t hesitate to reach out!

CAN I ASK FOR CHANGES ONCE MY E-DESIGN IS COMPLETE? WHAT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS AFTER MY E-DESIGN IS COMPLETE?

Yes, your e-design package includes up to 2 revisions. I want to make sure that you absolutely love your new space! I’m happy to answer any questions or concerns for up to 60 days after your final design is delivered, don’t hesitate to e-mail me! Beyond 60 days I’m happy to bill you at $99/hr fee for any questions.

WHAT IF A PRODUCT SELECTED IN MY design IS BACKORDERED OR NO LONGER AVAILABLE?

I understand that online product availability can be unpredictable. If I source a product that’s no longer available or on backorder just let us know and we’ll be happy to find another product for you!
