What better time than NOW to Freshen up our Kitchens and our Bathrooms?

COVID-19 has put a heavy strain on the way we live our daily lives.  But, we are resilient and adaptable. we can make the best out of life challenges. So, let’s adapt and change for the better. Our homes have had to become our refuges, our restaurants, our sanctuaries, and our playgrounds. Our kitchens and baths have had to serve as multipurpose rooms for cooking and bathing and are hard at work also becoming our sanctuaries for relaxing and recharging us. But, in all these past years we have forgotten to update them and they are not very comfortable or functional anymore. The small details that were easy to ignore like lack of shelving and tight space, or outdated light fixtures and tile and drab paint that we overlooked as we rushed out the door a few months ago now annoy us and depress us. We want light, functionality, and ease.  

Your home is your most valuable asset. It’s time to make your investment work for you. A kitchen or bath remodel is easier than you think and it will bring you added comfort and the flexibility and transformation that this 2020/21 crisis so desperately requires. We can do this together and set up steps. Let me show you how.

Furnishings:  We will review each space / area with you and create a layout and a rough estimated budget as a guideline. Together we will select pieces that closely fit onto the layout and budget parameters and you will “sign off” on each item in agreement in order to give us the go-ahead to purchase the items on your behalf. All items purchased are not refundable and may not be exchanged. (The delivery of furnishings will be up to the discretion designer’s implementation schedule. Storage Fees may be incurred).

Contractors and Materials: All contractors will be hired directly by the owner and will have a separate contract with you. I will serve as a liaison between you but, I will hold no responsibility for their work or their schedule. However, I will work diligently to achieve the best outcome in the best interest of the client always. All construction materials will be purchased by the contractors with the exception of appliances and decorative lighting.

Project Fee: Estimate provided upon review of job scope.

What’s Included:

• Initial Meeting:

  We will meet to determine your needs and vision for the project on site. We will discuss a preliminary idea of the budget if there is any. I will take measurements and photographs and any plans if available. We will establish our working parameters, and move forward with the project on to the conceptual phase. 

• Conceptual Phase:

  In this phase, I will give provide you with a Mood Board for the overall feel that we are trying to achieve in the space/environment. Once the Mood board is approved we will move on to design renderings for the look and flow of the space. (These design renderings are an additional cost and are outsourced. You will have the option of choosing to have them done or proceeding without them).

• Selection of Hard-scapes, Cabinetry, Paint:

  Once we have the plans for the kitchen or bath/s approved we will select all the hard surfaces like flooring, countertops, and tile. We will also select coordinating hardware, vanities, sinks, and plumbing fixtures. I will ask you to go shopping for kitchen appliances of your choosing.

• Lighting Plan, Accessories & Paint.

  Together with the electrician I will come up with a lighting design plan for all the spaces and choose lights for the kitchen or bath areas if necessary. I will select the finishing accessories for the bathroom such as towel racks, hooks, mirrors, and any furniture. I will also select coordinating paint colors for all areas.

• Final Design Phase:

  All these selections will be approved at this phase (Drawings, floor plans, and all selections of materials). These final approvals make the project a FIXED Project. - unchangeable. Shopping and showroom visits are done in this phase. Lighting design and selection of all furnishings, fixtures, and finishes are completed.

• Purchasing and Ordering:

  Preparation of drawings, specifications, and other documents to have the project constructed. Proposals for custom pieces or any other type of furnishings will be completed. 

• Construction, Administration, and Installation:

  I will make site visits to the project to ensure progress and accuracy. Installation of all and any materials will be supervised. Furnishings are delivered and installed.
