Your Home. Your Style. My Eye for Color.
I LOVE color!
For many homeowners, choosing the right paint colors, flooring, countertops, cabinetry, upholstery, and finishes can feel completely overwhelming. With seemingly endless options available, even the simplest decisions can become stressful.
For me? It's like being a kid in a candy store!
I genuinely love exploring colors, materials, and finishes, finding just the right combinations, and seeing how everything works together. What might look like five nearly identical shades of beige to most people can look entirely different to me. It's those subtle differences in undertones, warmth, and color that can make all the difference in a finished space.
My specialty is helping clients select and coordinate the elements of their interiors so that everything complements one another while reflecting their own personal taste and style.
New Services. Decades of Experience.
While my Interior Styling & Color Consulting business is a relatively new chapter in my career, my expertise is anything but new!
I've worked in the home furnishings industry since 2000, spending more than 25 years designing, selecting, and coordinating colors, patterns, materials, and finishes. From creating bedding collections and designing luxury custom rugs to collaborating with leading interior designers and architects, color coordination and an eye for detail have always been at the heart of my work.
With a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Surface Pattern Design from Syracuse University, extensive experience in luxury home furnishings, and an exceptionally discerning eye for color, I bring a unique combination of artistic training and practical industry knowledge to every project.
Today, I'm bringing that experience directly to homeowners, offering the same attention to detail and expertise in a more personal, accessible, and affordable way.
How I Can Help
Whether you're renovating an entire kitchen, updating a bathroom, redecorating a bedroom, or simply struggling to choose the perfect paint color, I can help you confidently navigate the selection process.
My consulting services include:
Color Consultation: Paint colors, undertones, coordinating palettes, and understanding how natural and artificial lighting affect color.
Kitchen & Bathroom Selections: Cabinet colors and finishes, countertops, flooring, backsplashes, hardware, and fixtures.
Interior Furnishings: Upholstery fabrics, bedding, rugs, window treatments, and decorative accessories.
Material & Finish Coordination: Ensuring that colors, tones, patterns, and finishes complement one another throughout your space.
Shopping & Product Selection: Researching, sourcing, and gathering products and samples based on your style, needs, and budget.
Professional Expertise Without the Big-Firm Price Tag
You don't need to hire a full-service interior design firm or commit to an expensive design package to benefit from professional guidance.
I offer personalized, one-on-one consulting with a flexible, hourly fee structure, allowing you to decide exactly how much assistance you need and how much you'd like to spend.
You stay in control of your project and your budget!
Want me to visit showrooms, shop for products, and bring you carefully selected options? I'd be happy to!
Prefer to do the shopping yourself and have me help you evaluate your choices? That works, too!
Or perhaps you just need an hour or two of professional guidance to feel confident about a decision. No problem!
Unlike larger design firms, you'll work directly with me throughout the process. No unnecessary services, no pressure to purchase products through me, and no obligation to commit to an entire project.
No Project Too Small!
Not every project involves a major renovation or an entire room makeover.
Sometimes it's choosing the perfect paint color, finding bedding that works with your existing furnishings, or coordinating bathroom towels, rugs, and accessories.
Even small changes can make a big difference, and I'm just as happy helping with those finishing touches as I am working on a complete kitchen renovation.
Your Vision, My Expertise
My goal isn't to impose my personal style on your home. It's to understand your taste, help you discover what works best together, and take the stress and second-guessing out of the decision-making process.
I also understand that colors and materials can look very different depending on their surroundings and lighting. Something that looks perfect in a showroom may look completely different once you bring it home. That's where having a trained eye can be especially valuable.
Whether you're starting from scratch or working around furnishings you already own, I'll help you identify the right colors, materials, and finishes to achieve the look you're envisioning.
What feels overwhelming to you is genuinely exciting to me. Let me take some of that stress off your shoulders so you can actually enjoy the process!
