INTERIOR DESIGN
Beautiful Room Transformation Through Design, Decor, and Color ...
Interior design doesn't have to be expensive. That is ultimately for you to decide. We will partner together to design a beautiful space that speaks to your design style and lifestyle without breaking the bank. We will work within your budget--big or small--and give you a mix of old with the new, or all new, if that is your desire. But, it all starts with a conversation, so read on to learn more.

Interior Design with a Twist
To start, I don’t want to be viewed as an Interior Designer. I want to be known as a valued partner who happens to be skilled and knowledgeable in interior design; who has the distinct ability to quickly visualize and create spaces that bring beauty and life to your home.
If you are looking for a newly designed home, great! However, I will not push you to buy a bunch of furniture and accessories to make a quick buck. After learning more about you to properly define your style, my design process is to first start with repurposing the existing furnishings you want to keep that highlight your personality and style. This method of ‘using what you already own’ is called Interior Redesign.
Then, if need be, we can discuss color options and shopping to revive areas in your home that need attention. I happen to be a budget decorator, so I am always in tune with where to get the best bargains without jeopardizing the quality of my work. Below is an outline of design services provided.

... and What You Can Expect
A True Partnership. Open communication is important, as is the project involvement of the client. We listen, and the clients’ opinions matter. We are partners throughout the entire process.
Design Consultation Service. An analysis will be done to determine your true design style, as well as what is and is not working in your home based on your goals, tastes, and lifestyle. Whether you are looking to decorate, needing direction for a remodel, or are struggling to tie everything together, we will guide you to the right style of furniture, choose a color palette to eliminate any color confusion, artwork that makes a statement, window treatments, or maybe it’s re-accessorizing.
Repurposing (interior redesign) and Interior Decorating. You have options: Go all in with interior design starting with a clean slate and buy all things new. Perhaps, you would rather achieve a new look in your home by using what you already own. Or you can combine the two by mixing new with the old where shopping is the way to go. Then, tie it all together with our interior decorating that captures the true essence of your particular design style.
Shopping & Procurement Services. If you don’t know your design style or feel you have no sense of style, shopping will be more challenging and confusing for you and probably not fun. If so, you probably find yourself shopping many times only to come home empty handed.
Shopping is a true specialty of Carla’s. She has a built-in bargain radar; and once she assesses the space and needs of the client, she can easily spot the perfect items that coordinate well together to bring that wow factor to your home. And, even if money is no issue, she’ll guide you to make smart purchasing decisions from big-ticket items to the smallest of accessories.
We partner with the best local home stores, furniture outlets, and workrooms for upholstery and custom window treatments.

THE CLIENT'S MAIN OBJECTIVE. What the client requested of me--as well as their main objective--was to give their great room 'a refresh'. This 'refresh' turned into a pretty big overhaul of their space. They didn't know where to begin, as they didn't know their design style, how to vision their new space, and what to purchase.
We were all very happy with the end result and, best of all, developed a wonderful partnership and friendship in the process.
