shopping assistance

Have you spent countless hours searching the internet for the perfect furniture or accessories only to second guess yourself?  We are experts at helping clients make the perfect choices to suit their needs. 

First, we encourage you to use existing pieces that you already have in your home.  There is no reason to buy new if your current pieces can be repurposed, recycled or simply just used in another room.  We use a modern and creative approach towards reinventing items in your home.  However, we will be honest and let you know if it is time to say good bye to certain items.

Then, we shop! Besides our favorite go to stores and outlets, we also have designer and to-the-trade only brands as well.

“dora” service

HOME SWEET HOME.  There is a reason this phrase is so popular and well known.  Because home is the place where people enjoy life’s most intimate moments.  It is a place for family, fun and playfulness.  It’s where we need to feel safe and secure.  Where we can work productively if necessary. It should provide peace, comfort and the ability to recharge after a long day.  

For this reason we always consider the lifestyle and daily habits of the occupants of the space when evaluating a client’s needs. My knowledge and experience as a Feng Shui practitioner, KonMari Consultant and Interior Designer led me to develop a four step system I call DORA.  

Declutter

Organize

Rearrange, Repurpose & Recycle

Add

First, we reduce the clutter in the space.  You should only be surrounded by things that support you and reflect your current self.  Clutter comes in many forms.  It can be papers on the table or objects hidden in the back of a closet. Clutter can be holding you back from living your best life.

Second, we organize the space.  It is important to know the contents of your home and where to find everything.  An organized and decluttered home decreases stress and increases productivity.

Third, we evaluate the home and any energetic blocks.  Feng Shui is the art of arranging the elements of a space in order to allow the maximum possible flow of positive energy.  This will promote positive changes in your life, including health, wealth, relationships and career.  I evaluate the furnishings in the home.  If it works in a room, keep it.  If it doesn’t I try to repurpose it somewhere else.  And if it is time to say good bye to a piece, let’s donate or recycle it. 

Fourth, Add things. This is the last step. (So many people make the mistake of starting with this as the first step.)  Now that the home is clutter free, organized and balanced we discuss making changes to the décor.  This can include changing the color palette, buying new furniture and adding accessories.

The result, Healthy, Balanced and Beautiful interiors!!
