Not everyone is confident in putting together ideas, colors, and designs for their project. Sometimes we need a lot of help, other times maybe just someone to bounce ideas off of. Although many people work with professional designers, not everyone needs help to that skill level, or perhaps hiring a designer just doesn't fit into your budget.
Although I am not a certified designer by any means, I have worked with many of our customers over the years. The thing I feel I offer the most is a sense of neutrality. While I have seen many designers design to their own likes and dislikes (while disregarding the client's likes and dislikes), I work hard to present options to our customers while keeping my personal opinions out of it. I feel this is very important as what one person likes, another cannot stand. But then, that is part of what makes the world go round!! It's not uncommon to find me taking a customer to shop for tile, pick our slabs of granite, or shopping for sinks & faucets. Need help with evaluating paint colors? Choosing a cabinet stain or new flooring? Not a problem.
This is a service I offer to our customers at no charge (although those who know me know I am always good for a card to Starbuck!!)
Big projects require a different type of designer service, and as we claim, we are a true family business. For those in need of assistance for large residential remodels or commercial projects, my sister-in-law is a fabulous interior designer (as well as occasionally wearing the project manager hat).
Not sure where to go to look for cabinets, flooring, or tile? Need a good general contractor or tile person to install that amazing tile you just bought? We work with many other small businesses and are happy to pass on referrals. Help support you local economy by working with small companies. We are happy to supply names for whatever type of referral you are looking for. http://www.monarch-designs.com/
