so if you read my last newsletter you’ll know that i am very serious about starting a little side biz. i suppose it’s closest to e-design but maybe on a smaller scale. back in the early days of blogging i offered e-design services but i shifted into being a full time artist. e-design is very time consuming and i just didn’t have the knowledge or means required to launch it as a full time business. i.e. auto cad anyone? elevation what? but what i lack in software knowledge i more than make up for in resources and dare i say it…taste? (subjective i know) i am not trying to compete with legitimate interior designers here and if you can do that by all means do. but maybe you just need a little guidance on what size rug to buy or where to buy a great vintage rug that doesn’t kill the budget. also sometimes it’s hard choosing things for yourself, whether that’s a sofa or a rug or a paint color or anything in between. and just maybe another opinion is all you need. you want an entire room redo? i got you there too.
before i start not making sense let me show you what i’ve come up with thus far. now mind you…this is all very unpolished and unprofesh looking as it’s the beginning (literally made it in 20 minutes). things will change. fonts will improve, descriptions will be more thorough and the details will be clearer. I am willing to negotiate just about anything here so don’t hesitate to ask questions and offer advice if you feel called to.
paint consult- this is exactly what it sounds like. what it is is you need help picking a paint color for a room and i pick 3 colors for you to choose from. let’s say you want white paint but don’t know what white to choose (who ever does honestly?) i will choose 3 shades for you that fit the bill based on the natural light the room receives and everything else you’ve got going on- your style, existing furniture, the view outside (yep that matters) etc. let’s say you have no idea what color you want to paint the room, literally no clue- i will choose 3 colors after we’ve narrowed down the do’s and don’t’s. i love purple but most people hate it so i probably won’t chose purple for you if you hate it. maybe. after discussing things we can make it whatever you need it to be.
now let’s say you want it to be blue and need help finding the perfect blue. i will choose 3 blues.
bottom line- $50 to me to choose 3 colors for you. if you’ve got more than one room we can do an add on per any additional room. as with any of these services please reach out to me prior to purchase if you have any questions. all purchases will be followed up with a specific questionnaire. this service will include wallpaper as well. same guidelines. 3 choices.
in a nutshell this is me working with what you already have if that’s a priority and finding new items that you need to incorporate. obviously working within your budget and having lengthy discussions about errthang. that questionnaire will really come in handy here. included will be a floor plan that i will literally draw on paper, a private, shared pinterest board for links and collaboration, a final moodboard to see it all together. it’s important to note that i am not a trade licensed interior designer and i do not have access to those trade things. so shopping on your end will be done online or in stores that you can visit in person that i can access online.
facebook marketplace finds- iykyk. i can find anything. the basics- i will find 10 items in your marketplace location of choice.
a la carte- maybe you need a sofa and that’s it. maybe you need a pair of shoes for a wedding, or a dress for a wedding or both? i will provide you with 3 options. easy peasy. i hope it goes without saying but- your budget, body type and style are the priority.
yes! i’ll be your personal shopper too! well, you’ll purchase i’ll provide options.
at the end of the day this probably has a better name than outfit guide🙄 but we’re going with it for now- i will work with existing pieces that you love and help you find items to enhance that. or i can start from scratch based on what you need most. this will be another pinterest collab with links and a moodboard so you can see things together.
ok, that covers it for now. my brain hurts. but you can see/purchase everything in the dropdown menu under DESIGN GUIDES at the top of the blog. and i’m serious….leave a comment with thoughts, prayers, suggestions, questions, encouragement….whatevah. love and light. j
