Let me help you turn ordinary space into magical space! My goal is to make this
service affordable, and still show great results. I provide decorating guidance
about how to hang artwork, choose paint colors, coordinate fabric, arrange
flowers and plants, and select furniture. I can work within your budget by
combining existing with new items to build a plan that solves your decorating
challenges.

with Arlene on my home was better than being on a holiday or a day at
the spa!”

Interior Re-Design
Interior redesign is a cost effective alternative to traditional interior
design—we use your existing furniture, art and accessories to redesign your home
in a totally new way. Purchasing new furniture and drapery is not always
necessary to achieve a dramatic redesigned makeover. As a professional
redesigner, I know how to transform your living space. You probably already have
what you need for a beautiful home; you simply need a redesign makeover to put
it all together…and you deserve it!
In traditional interior design process, you, the homeowner, hire a designer
to decorate your home using their suggestions for new furnishings, draperies or
accessories. Normally you aren’t allowed the benefit of using items you already
own.
Interior redesign, on the other hand, is a design technique that artfully
arranges the interior of your home to showcase the furnishing, art and
accessories you already have. By rearranging the room using a precise alignment
of the interior pieces with the architectural features and shapes of your home,
and by “shopping” your home for hidden treasures, I will give your room a
refreshing new look!

“Wow!
I was surprised how all my furniture and accessories looked so good
with the new look. It was like a new home within my existing home.”

Design Consultation
We will begin with a visit to your home to distinguish your style and assist you
in developing a decorating plan. We can help you with color selection for any
item or surface in your home from accessories to selecting the right size and
style of furniture. We can help you choose fabric for upholstery, window
treatments, and bedding and finishes for woodwork, furniture and flooring. If
