Our DIY Design Partner Process:
1. After having an "Initial Consultation" with us, you can purchase and enter into our DIY Process where we will partner with you to create a plan for your DIY Project. First, depending on the project, we may come by to take formal measurements (or we'll ask you to provide them for us if you're remote) or if your DIY project is more unique and hands-on, we'll take some time to learn about the specifics of what you're looking to do and proceed from here. We will also have a meeting that we call an "Idea Session" to confirm the budget, design style and functionality of the project. Due to the nature of this design package, it is highly recommended that all decision makers involved in the project are present during this meeting.
2. When our team has all the information we need, we will create a plan with you on how to approach the project. Depending on the complexity of the project, it usually takes 2-3 weeks to pull together the perfect DIY Plan for you. Our team will diligently work on your behalf reviewing your specifications, style ideas, design goals and discuss any foreseeable obstacles we will face so that we can fully encompass the scope of the job in as much detail as possible.
3. When our DIY Design is complete, we will notify you via email and deliver your detailed DIY Design to you(if applicable). We'll include as much detail as possible so that we can pass the design baton to you to execute the furniture purchasing, installation, project management and styling of the space.
4. After we've presented your design, you'll have the ability to follow-up with us over one email to answer any questions you have about your Design Plan. We will also make one revision to our floor plan if you wish to see something laid out differently.
Our straightforward DIY Design process will provide you the detailed vision and framework to create the dream space you've always wanted.
