Planning with the Right People

Whether you already have a builder and architect or are just starting to explore your options, we're here to guide you. We'll meet with your team—or help you assemble one—to review your lot, your vision, and your budget. That way, your project gets off to the right start, with your vision aligned with the practical and logistical side of building. 

01

Getting to Know Each Another

We start with a conversation about your project, your vision, and what matters most in your new home. This is where we dive into your must-haves, your deal-breakers, and the details that will make your new house truly feel like home.

Mapping Out Your Vision

This is where the fun really begins! Through conversations, Pinterest boards, and tailored recommendations, we start turning your ideas into concept boards, sketches, and layouts. Think of this as drawing the map: by exploring options and refining details now, we create a shared plan and a clear path forward for selections and design decisions.

Selections

Cabinetry, countertops, flooring, tile, lighting, plumbing fixtures...the list goes on! All of these choices are exciting, but they can also feel overwhelming without proper guidance. That's where we come in! We guide you through every decision, offering professional insight and helping you create a cohesive design that reflects your vision. With our strong relationships with local vendors, you'll always feel supported and prioritized throughout the process.

Project Management

From start to finish, we stay closely involved with your builder, contractors, and vendors to ensure your selections are implemented with precision and care. Our goal is to make sure the end result reflects the vision you fell in love with—down to the last detail.
