Once you’ve decided to move forward on your project, here are the first steps in achieving your goals.

gather ideas. Start by really evaluating the needs and wants of your project. { Find inspiration! } A great way to do this is to keep an idea folder – one source where you jot down notes, file away photos and samples – anything that will help you share your vision with us.

your schedule. Consider a time frame for your project and a list of your priorities. You may want to work on your project all at once, in stages, or just a quick design or spruce up. Keep in mind a reasonable time frame for the amount of changes you have and the quality you would like to see.

your investment. Once you’ve started to gain a clearer picture of your ideas and goals, consider your investment and how it lines up with what you want for your space. The quality level, durability, specialty items, amount of space you have – all contribute and change factors when considering your investment.

questions to consider. Here is a downloadable questionnaire of more ways to prepare for design. Be sure to share it with us once you’ve had time to consider and ready to get started!
