How It Works

01

Onboarding

We get to know you, the project, what matters to you, and the vision you're working toward.

02

Discovery

Our discovery process sets the creative direction—confirming your style, palette, functionality, and budget.

03

Development

Now that we have an understanding of your design direction, we begin the detailed process of creating.

04

Procurement

After you approve the finalized palette of materials, furnishings, and details, we coordinate everything.

05

Installation

We oversee all final deliveries, millwork, installations, and every finishing touch in their place.

06

Styling

Once the furnishings are placed, we artfully compose the final curated details and design elements.

  • Testimonial from Elona D.

    "Working with Cat was the perfect experience from beginning to end. She kept the project moving along expediently by setting clear timelines of delivery and suggesting items within my budget while staying true to the concept and look I was going for. She presented pieces that were in stock and ready to ship. In addition to her invaluable business skills and eye for design, she is simply a joy to work with. Pleasant, kind, fair and clear. I will work with her over and over again and refer her a million times over.”

  • Testimonial from Jackie M.

    “I have been working with Catherine for the past few months in designing multiple rooms in my new house. I can't say enough great things about her! She is extremely responsive, diligent, and when she says she will do something, she does! She has a great eye and has designed multiple vision boards for us, all while being mindful of our budget. Our place looks great and I owe it to Catherine!”

  • Testimonial from The Keeler Family

    “Catherine is an incredibly talented interior designer. We have never worked with a designer, so it was a bit intimidating at first. We immediately felt at ease when she took all of our ideas into consideration and added such unique details into the design. There were many design elements of our home that we weren’t sure of how to tackle so we were blown away when we saw the finished product. She was also a pleasure to work with and was very successful at creating a space that truly reflects our personality. We highly recommend working with her. You won’t be disappointed!”

  • Testimonial from Erika S.

    “We enlisted Catherine’s expertise to select a new exterior door color for our house. It was a small task but we just couldn’t decide. Catherine quickly delivered several creative color options and we picked a winner. It was so nice to have someone to call to ask simple design advice with a quick turnaround!”
