KICK-OFF: Each project begins with a detailed 2-hour Consultation where we’ll ask questions, listen to your needs, and provide expert insights. Once the signed contract and retainer are received, we’ll go ahead and schedule your project.
-
Step 1We start with our initial 2-hour Consultation, where we answer your questions, create the project scope, and what it's like to work with us. You leave with all your questions answered and a comprehensive summary which will launch your project effectively.
-
Step 2Once you review the estimate—which covers our fees up to and including The Final Presentation (STEP 6)—and sign the agreement, we’ll collect a deposit to reserve your spot on our calendar. (We require 20% of the estimate.). Once booked, we provide a potential start date and request Pinterest boards.
-
DESIGN: During this phase, we begin by creating an initial design concept and gathering your feedback. We handle everything from measurements to trade meetings, then move into sourcing furnishings with beauty and meaning. We’ll reveal your full design concept with layers of detail: floor plans, fabric samples, product images and more.
-
Step 3We present our Initial Design Concept including color palettes, material ideas, and aesthetics and incorporate your feedback as needed. This is also when we sit down to review the Final Criterion - all the nitty-gritty details we need to know about your design preferences.
-
Step 4We handle on-site measurements, take photos, conduct trade meetings, plus create a furnishings schedule and identify the labor, materials, and products needed in each space. Typically, you wouldn’t be present this day. We’ll take care of everything.
-
Step 5Next, we design the space! We create the floor plans and elevations, source all fabrics, furnishings, and finishes, plus finalize the scope of work for trades. We confirm pricing and lead times, create a proposal, and request trade estimates so that you have everything you need at Step 6 to determine your budget.
-
Step 6This is a key step — The Final Presentation, which includes floor plans, elevations, 3D renderings, product images, samples, pricing, and estimates — everything you need to envision your new home. The budget is reviewed, items are approved, and payment is collected so that orders may be placed.
-
Step 7When design changes are needed, we always include an optional revision meeting.
-
IMPLEMENTATION: Everything is approved, paid for, and ordered, and you can focus on other things while we continue to track and inspect each item. We’ll handle create a project calendar, communicate with trades for you, and begin to prepare for installation.
-
Step 8We place all orders and begin tracking deliveries to our receiver. Trades are hired.
-
Step 9The Project Review Meeting allows us to share updates, your proposed project calendar (a timeline of each trade/phase), and tentative installation dates. We review the construction process, answer your questions, and coordinate the donation of any furniture, scheduling movers, etc.
-
Step 11Six weeks prior to installation, we meet to go over accessories and décor. We’ll collect payment for approved items and place all additional orders.
-
Step 12After construction is complete, everything is delivered, installed, and styled, including rugs, furniture, artwork, hardware, lighting, potted plants, etc. You can expect to be away from home for this step.
-
COMPLETION: This is the best part: the completion of your new home! We’ll walk through your new space together and ooh and ahh with you over all the details. No design project runs perfectly, but that’s one of the many ways we can help. We’ll keep a punch list and address any outstanding issues. Finally you’ll receive a binder of information—a comprehensive guide to your new space.
-
Step 13Come home and see your new, finished home (champagne will definitely be involved). We will walk through your space together and note any possible deficiencies, creating a "punch list" for us and for trades.
-
Step 14Any deficiencies are resolved as quickly as possible.
-
Step 15We meet one last time to give you your project binder and handle the final invoices. My Abode is a project binder with complete design plans, renderings, lists of products and vendor names, fabric and finish samples, care and cleaning information, warranties, and who to contact should you ever need help down the road.
Every full-service design project is unique and billed hourly. We can provide an estimate up to and including The Final Presentation during your initial Consultation.
