Frequently asked questions:
1. Do you charge hourly or by the job?
I am pleased to work either way. If I work on a project basis, I’ll
reduce the total amount of the project by 10%.
2. What happens if I don’t like the final result?
Even though I take the time to ensure that you will be pleased with the
final result before you make purchases and commitments, I can understand
this fear. Depending upon what it is that you aren’t fond of, there
are a variety of solutions to this problem.
If you don’t care for the color of the paint, the only charge that
you would pay is for the paint itself; the fee for my time as well as the
painter’s will be waived. If you don’t like the accessories,
they can all be returned, and you’ll be refunded the amount that you
paid. There will not be a charge for my time in returning the items either.
Finally, because the furniture that you may purchase is a final sale, I
take great care to ensure that you really are pleased with the style and
fabric before you make the purchase.
3. How many times can I change my mind about the color scheme, furniture,
accessories, etc.?
Prior to the purchasing of any furniture, you are free to change your mind
as often as you like. In fact, I expect it. I'll will work with you to get
the look and feel that you want however many times you might change your
mind.
4. What are your areas of expertise?
I'm skilled in the selecting and coordination of color, furniture (which
includes fabric), and accessorizing.
5. Can you redecorate a whole house or a single kitchen, bedroom,
or living room?
The answer to this question is entirely up to you. The extent of the redecoration
depends upon your desires and needs, but I can work both ways: a room at
a time or the entire house at once.
I have experienced, however, that sometimes when you decide to decorate
only one room, the project grows to encompass the entire house. At other
times, you may want to remove all that you have and start fresh. After working
together, you might find that some of your own pieces fit the new look and
don’t need replacement.
6. What are your qualifications?
I have been decorating since I was a child. (Check out the “essence”
section for more details.) I graduated from CSUN and completed classes with
UCLA’s Extension Interior Design Program where I currently continue
my education.
7. Can you decorate my house for Super Bowl or for the holidays?
Absolutely! Decorating for “themes” or the holidays is one of
my favorite things to do. I can make your home fun or scary for Halloween,
more traditional for Christmas, playful for Easter, and make the true sports
fan proud for the Super Bowl.
8. How long does it take to do a Quick Change?
The idea behind a Quick Change is that I come into your home for one full
day: an average of 8-12 hours. I rearrange a given room with what you already
have—your furniture, colors, accessories, etc. With your prior knowledge,
I might add a few new items, or even do a bit of painting, all within your
budget.
9. Do you have your own particular style?
Certainly. We all have our individual style, but my objective is to use
your personal style when decorating your home or office, not my own. In
fact, that’s where I find the most enjoyment—creating an environment
that fits your personality to become a reflection of you. Review the style
guide to see what your style may be.
