Room Re-imagination!

Start with a problem to solve

Many of us have at least one space in our home that just doesn't look, feel or flow right or has us puzzled as to how to arrange the items within.

Add a designer's eye

Let's discuss what works and what doesn't and walk through your home shopping for items you already own that can be re-purposed, re-arranged, re-imagined.

End with a newly designed space

Whether you choose the streamlined or the full Room Re-imagination! service, you'll see your space in a new way at $0 cost for furnishings and accessories.

Color/Style Consultation

The right color scheme and styling make a space feel like YOUR home.
...
Whether you are remodeling, building new, or just picking out furnishings and other materials (backsplash, flooring, etc.) start with a color consultation or style assessment to give your home a cohesive, meaningful look that is yours and yours alone.

SHOPPING ASSISTANCE
Furnishings, including furniture, fixtures, and accessories are key to your comfort and the functionality of your space.  They will help you achieve the style you want, but can also cause your space to feel cluttered, empty, or out of balance if those furnishings are the wrong scale, style, or era.  Let Brenda assist you by either shopping with you or shopping for you and bringing items to you for your review and approval.  If you like what you see, you can purchase them through Autumn Light Interiors eliminating the hassle of ordering and coordinating delivery schedules.
How this works -
Your 1 hour free consultation will include a tour of the space your want to furnish.  Some basic room measurements will be taken after Brenda interviews you to find out your goals, likes, and dislikes for the space you plan to redefine or enhance.  Depending on your needs and the level of involvement you want to have, you can either hire Brenda to accompany you to shop for furnishings or she can bring them to you for your review.  Brenda can draw on resources made only to designers and provide you with a unique selection.
DESIGN/MAKEOVER SERVICES
The Room Design service is a great way for you to get a complete design, then decide for yourself if you want to execute the design plan on your own or hire Autumn Light Interiors. You will receive a Design Guidebook, complete with a floor plan, one or two color schemes, your style assessment, furnishing measurements to aid you while shopping, and instructions on how to execute your personal plan. A new design can include all new furnishings or a mix of new and already owned pieces. A room makeover ('Room Re-imagination!' service) generally includes your existing furnishings from anywhere within your home in a new layout for the target space and accessories to pull everything together.  A variation on a new design that may better fit your needs and budget is the 'Space Planning with Furnishing Selection'  service where you will receive a floor plan and a  design concept with suggested furnishings.
How this works -
You will be interviewed to assess your style, budget, and the type of project that fits your needs.  Brenda will want to tour your entire home to help in that assessment.  When you hire Brenda, you will provide a retainer fee to start the design work.  Brenda will then take detailed measurements and photos of your room and existing furnishings.  This can take a few hours.  Brenda will take this information back to her office and after a thorough analysis, she will start building your design guidebook.  When completed, you will meet again to go over the design, complete payment, and receive your guidebook if you are purchasing the Room Design service.  If you choose to have Autumn Light Interiors to execute your project's implementation, Brenda will discuss next steps.

STAGING CONSULTATION
If you are either a homeowner or a realtor planning to sell a  home or have been trying to sell a home for some time with no serious offers coming, this is a service for you.  A Staging Consultation is an assessment with recommendations for changes that will increase the chances that a buyer will fall in love with your home.  As a designer, Brenda is knowledgeable about what is important to current home owners/sellers (you included) and has an eye for defining focal points that will draw a buyer into the space and look great in those sale photos.
How this works -
Brenda will take an objective look at your home from outside to inside taking notes and pictures for further analysis as needed.  She will provide tips along the way and a final assessment once all analysis is done.  She can engage your realtor if you have one to ensure he/she is on board with any suggestions and to get insight into sale trends for your neighborhood.  Tips you might receive include, but are not limited to, organization techniques, color choices, furniture placement, curb appeal ideas, and photo advice.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
You have ideas for the room of your dreams.  Where do you start? How do you know if you need changes to the structure of your home - walls, electrical, plumbing, etc?  Do you have time to schedule painters and other trades, shop for finishes, order furniture, and keep track of your budget? Hiring Brenda to manage your project and make decisions based on your style, budget, and desires will free up your time and help you to look forward to a great end result.  This does not mean all decisions are given up.  You and Brenda will decide on the types of decisions you can comfortably allow her to make and the level of involvement you want to have will be discussed and confirmed before work begins.
How this works -
You and Brenda will sit down and go over all aspects of your project.  Depending on the stage of the work, whether at the dream stage or in progress, all details will be documented and a plan will be created.  If you agree that the plan will work for you and your family, the work can begin.  You may decide to hire your own trades or rely on recommendations from Brenda.  Either way, Brenda will contact all resources to ensure everyone is on the same page and has the same vision - YOURS.  Access to your home is key to allowing your project manager to check on work in progress.  Brenda will respect you and your home and will never enter the premises without your permission.  When the project is wrapping up, Brenda will walk though the space with you to ensure that any items not done to your satisfaction are addressed.
