I walk the home with the client and then prepare a very detailed plan with what to keep, what to move, and what our plan would be to get the home ready for market. Working directly with the client allows me to be the bad guy for grandma's dining hutch removal or the dark, heavy custom drapery that must come down. It's an ongoing process of keeping in touch and guiding your client to the finish line.
The fun part! Using the client's existing furniture and much of the decor, we bring in the color, the pop, and the fun! It's amazing how changing a layout or swapping out small pieces can make such a difference. Many times, clients say they wish they had had the room like that the whole time!
