Private Residence Remodel

1

Challenge:

Busy professionals with two kids needed someone to take over management of their first floor remodel after losing money (and sleep) trying to do it themselves.

Solution:

I helped the clients make design decisions and acted as liaison with their architect and contractor, managing the budget, timeline, and making sure the client’s expectations, needs, and desires were all met.

Results:

As the focal point of the remodel, the kitchen is now the hub of family activity and everyone’s favorite room in the house.

“We thought we could save money by doing it ourselves, but lost it by making mistakes. It was insanity. With patience and flexibility, Nancy helped us shape the project with her organizational and design skills, and she taught me how to think about color and texture for tiles and paints. She is incredible.”
