CALL FOR YOUR CONSULTATION

How to Refresh Your Home on a Budget #AffordableInteriorDecorator

9/13/2022

0 Comments

 
Lately I’ve had several clients almost embarrassed to call me for help. Like Vicki and Tom from Oak Creek, Wisconsin. “We moved into our mother’s home after she passed away and want to make it our own. We have a limited budget and want to do it ourselves, but need some guidance.” #affordableinteriordecorator

They were overwhelmed. She needed a vision for her home and didn’t know how or where to begin. Vicki was wise to call an interior designer.

I walked into the typical Southeast Milwaukee suburban ranch home, built in the early 60’s. Mauve carpet and floral drapes with elaborate swags greeted me. The kitchen was painted in a playful shade of pink with matching countertops. The family room had faded paneling and worn carpeting that needed to be replaced.

Sixties Ranch Update for DIYers

These empty nesters were ready for a new life. I asked the usual questions about how they use each space, what is working for them, what needs to change. We talked about materials, layouts and colors.


Looking around, I couldn’t see anything that pointed me to a mutual style the couple would enjoy. In an effort to hone in on their tastes, a palette, and vision, we played a game, I showed them different pieces of art to get their reactions.

Before I left, I asked them to remove all of Mom’s custom made window coverings, an option they hadn’t considered. Upon my next visit, with the fussy draperies now at Goodwill, I inquired, how did that make you feel? Tom’s look said it all! A sigh of relief.

I saved them hundreds of dollars and instantly changed the feeling of the space. Of course, we still had the other issues to address. I presented concept boards and we worked together to develop a style and palette that they would love. I followed up with a written document of guidelines for them to shop for materials. I gave them links to sources outside of the big box stores and set them up for success.

Vicki and Tom have a self-imposed  two year timeline to complete their renovation projects. Hence, no After shot yet! A vision can easily be forgotten with so much time in between. A clearance sale or contractor can easily derail a vision. Vicki continues to send me emails of things she is considering, and I’m happy to respond.

According to Vicki, having the guidelines and plan is extremely helpful, working with me helped make the remodeling process fun and has helped the couple prioritize their home improvement projects. They are currently looking at backsplashes that bring them joy and will then choose options for countertops.

When homeowners shop for themselves, it saves them money and being able to confirm their decisions with a professional, protects their investment. Understandably, they were very fearful of making mistakes they would regret. Having an expert guide them, gives them the confidence and inspiration to keep marching forward.
