Home is not just a place to hang your hat; it should be the place where, when you open the front door, you immediately feel welcome and at peace. In today’s crazy world, we all need a comfortable, functional and relaxing sanctuary. Aren’t you worth it?
Practical feng shui principles inform all I do, but you need not know or care anything about it to benefit from an energized environment.
Here’s how I can help:
COLOR CONSULTATION – for a custom palette of colors that work well together, and also enhance the “givens” of your space (carpet, woodwork, major pieces of furniture and art, etc). We take into consideration who you are, the mood you want to create in each space and your own color preferences. You’ll have a specific list of colors to take to the paint store. I take “before” pictures so you can be amazed by how different the “after” look really is. I also do exterior color schemes. May include art and furniture placement if time permits.
STREAMLINE YOUR LIFE – we analyze your particular clutter issues, clarify a vision of your desired outcome, and create an easy-to-follow manageable plan of action to get you there. Essential if you’re trying to sell your home or downsize. One visit is all most people need to get a solid start. I’m available at a lower rate for additional visits down in the trenches sorting, tossing, posting ads on Craigslist, cheering you on.
STAGING FOR SALE – Together we create a plan for making your home irresistible to buyers, using what you have. Simplification, decluttering, rearranging furniture and art, paint and repair suggestions. (Doesn’t include rented art or furniture).
ROOM REPURPOSING. We’ll do our best to find ways to use your existing spaces in ways you hadn’t considered. Set up a home office, create a guest room or hobby space… Where will that sofa go?
MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS. A new cohabiting relationship can flourish or founder based on how well you deal with each other’s stuff, needs for personal space & storage, different tastes in art, furnishings & color. Or maybe you just inherited a whole lot of Stuff from a deceased relative and need to figure out what stays, what goes, and how to deal with guilty feelings as you let it go. Stuff matters, and I can help you navigate safely through these treacherous waters.
PRICING: My fee for the first visit (usually 2-2.5 hours) is $350. Additional visits are $95/hr. Generally what we do together blends many of these services, so my time with you is completely customizable depending on your specific needs.
Classes. Get a group of 6 or more together and I’ll be happy to teach a class on feng shui, clutter-clearing or color – with slides, hands-on exercises, discussion. The particular topics can be shaped to the needs of the group. Three hours: $95 per person. I also teach a two-session clutter-clearing & downsizing workshop at Clark College in Vancouver WA every quarter.
Speaking engagements – fee negotiable.
