About North Shore Interior Designer
Story
Founded 2005
“My favorite part of the business is helping clients identify their preferences, and translating that into style choices that enhance their everyday sense of well being.”
Interior decorating is more than a finished product. It is a complicated process involving the client, the decorator, and a lot of other tradespeople. I rely on product sources and teams of professional subcontractors that I have successfully worked with for years. I also coordinate with architects, contractors, and their teams.
Many years in the corporate world gave me experience in human resources, contract negotiations and office management. This gave me the skills to manage people, contracts and large projects.
Interior decorating should be a fun experience. I work collaboratively with my clients to create spaces that they can’t wait to use. All aspects of the project are considered and discussed thoroughly to make certain the end result is exactly what the homeowner wants. Together, we will discuss, plan, develop, decide, purchase and install, all with a smile.
People ask me what my style is. Personally, I like clean lines, layered textures, calming palettes with strategic pops of color, well placed lighting, and carefully curated art. Yet, I never forget that I am hired to embellish spaces for my clients, not for myself. Therefore, I incorporate design elements that respect the architecture and bones of the house, that improve flow and usability, all while embracing the client’s personal style preferences.
My passion in decorating is supported by a keen attention to detail. My goal is to design rooms that fit perfectly into my clients’ lives. I once brought my photographer to a project involving a major addition to the home. He walked in the house, looked around and asked, “which rooms did you do here?” I thought about that question and realized it was the perfect compliment. When I can do work for clients that fits seamlessly into their surroundings and lifestyle than I have achieved my goal.
Please give Embellishments a call when it’s time to improve your space. Together let’s make it something special.
