Let’s walk you through it…
Understanding the Interior Design Process
Initial Meeting With You
Schedule an in-person meeting with Audra to review the spaces you want to transform and discuss your overall remodeling goals and needs.
This helps us to get a better feel and understanding of what your wants, needs, and overall budget look like.
After the meeting, we will create a design proposal for you.
This proposal will help you understand the design tasks and fees involved in completing your project.
We’ll schedule a second meeting to review the proposal together and answer any questions you may have.
Once you approve the proposal and hire us, we start on the first steps of your project, the concept development phase.
There is a fee to meet with you. It covers our time to create your proposal and to meet with you for both the initial and proposal review meetings.
The fee depends on the scope of work and the project's location.
Concept Development
We research and develop ideas to help your spaces function efficiently and either complement your current space aesthetics or create a brand-new design to build upon.
Materials & Color Scheme Development
In this next phase, we visit local showrooms and research unique products, materials, furnishings, and finishes to complement your overall style and color scheme.
Design Presentation
At this stage, we present our design concept, including overall ideas, furnishings, and materials. This is when you see your dream home start to materialize.
Purchasing & Implementation
Approved materials and products are ordered and delivered to the jobsite through our long-term relationships with trusted vendors and local showrooms.
Project Oversight
As the work begins, Audra personally oversees the contractors at the jobsite to ensure the approved materials and design layout are implemented properly and that the agreed timeline stays on track and within budget. If it’s a furnishing project, she can oversee and accept deliveries, then direct and place all furnishings for proper placement per her design, such as furniture, window treatments, artwork, and accessories.
Final Walk-Thru
Once the work is complete, we walk through all finishing touches with the contractors, as well as anything that needs to be fixed to complete the project.
Photoshoot
Our chosen professional photographer comes in and makes it look magazine-ready so that we can add your gorgeous new dream spaces to our portfolio.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
What do you receive after working with me?

What if your Dream Home was only a phone call away?
How many times have you walked into your home and thought to yourself, it’s time to remodel?
Then overwhelm sets in from all of the choices you have to make. All the decisions required for a remodel project. The material selections, the right layout and color placement, the right-sized furniture pieces that fit and complement the space, and hiring the right contractors.
All the potential errors and costly mistakes pile up in your head, and you become paralyzed by indecision, so you change your mind.
You put it on hold because you already have too much to take care of. How will you manage a remodel on top of all of it? Between all of the responsibilities of your daily job or running your own business, the kids’ homework and sports, your daily errands and obligations, your social life, your travel plans…You’ve already got your hands full.
Your dream project is scheduled for next month.
Next season.
Next year.
Meanwhile, construction costs increase the more you wait.
Not to mention the cost of materials, fixtures, and furnishings.
…Sound familiar?
But your dream home may not be as far as you think…
If you are looking to design or remodel your home and want to ensure success, hiring an interior designer might be for you.
Think about the costly mistakes you’ll avoid!
Hire a Design Professional
Close your eyes and imagine sitting in your new dream home or corporate office.
Everything around you is a pure reflection of you and your personality, and all of your dream spaces. The design process was a total breeze.
The contractors finished on schedule and within budget, and they installed everything correctly the first time!
Meanwhile, your whole life didn’t have to stop to supervise anyone.
How is that possible?
Well, you hired the right designer.
By teaming up with the authority in home renovation, your designer can select quality materials and furnishings that reflect your unique style, create a unique color scheme, and put it all together to deliver your dream home.
The process seemed effortless for the following reasons:
You had support, guidance, and an expert holding your hand for the big design decisions each step of the way.
Your designer partnered with her trusted team of contractors, who are also individual experts in each of their trades.
They created a detailed and specific plan to be handed to the contractor. They oversaw the project from concept to completion so that you could focus on your daily life throughout.
They knew how to make a space flow from room to room by coordinating several different materials or textures to create a harmonious and beautiful color scheme.
They ordered custom furniture to perfectly match your space aesthetics and lifestyle, so that you didn’t have to experience the horror of purchasing the wrong size and fabric.
Your designer knew which showrooms to visit, which materials to pull for you, and how to create your individual and unique style that you may not even know you wanted to achieve.
Is it expensive? The expense and overall experience pay off in the long run and are officially “priceless” when the project is completed.
With a design industry expert, things get done right the first time, thus saving you time and money in the long run!
You’re given the freedom to live your daily life and responsibilities during the process, because there is someone you trust managing the project. Audra is the expert who understands your vision and is an invaluable asset that saves you from making costly mistakes, having to redo tasks, or wasting time overseeing teams of contractors who can’t seem to get it right on their own or within the promised timeline or budget.
