We are going to go through some aspects of the selection process, and I’m going through it in terms of a Renovation Project.

As an Interior Designer for many years, I have worked on countless renovation projects of all sizes and budgets. I have put together a list of the first steps to consider before starting a project or contact an experienced professional.

During this time of the year, it’s typical for us to get calls from prospective clients where one of the first questions they ask is, “Can you complete our kitchen before the holidays?” Which in turn generates a whole bunch of questions from us, starting with, “Which holidays?” A lot of folks here in the States begin their holiday season on the last Thursday of November, aka Thanksgiving.

I have known this client for about 2 years before I started working with her developing the concept for her enchanting, European Coastal Cottage. Using the term “European” loosely as my client who I am now proud to call my friend and esteemed doctor- loves Italy, is partial to England and is inspired by all things vintage, antique and cute.
