“We want to express our heartfelt thanks for the incredibly wonderful staging you did in our client's home. As Realtors, our listings are often competing with others, and you and your expertise have helped so much in having our listing stand out from the rest. Despite the competition, we sold the home in a very short period of time, and we believe it was because of your decorator eye and outstanding sense of taste. You took an ordinary home and made it into an extraordinary home...”
Carol B. & Judy W.

“I thought this was an amazing investment and it was SO fast!”

In-home Design Consultation...Get decorating ideas as you walk and talk!
Within several hours, you will have a complete decorating plan written up for you to implement. It will include any of the missing elements that you'll need to create rooms you'll love such as: color scheme, paint, window treatments, furnishings, lighting, artwork and mirrors, accessories and plants. It will also include resources and ways to quality for a decorator discount on any major purchases. If you need help implementing any of the ideas, Mary can assist you further.

For any questions you might have regarding placement (i.e., where your furniture should go, pictures should be hung, etc.), you will want to consider the perfect solution of a room redesign. This is a separate service from the consultation because experience has taught us that beforehand, it’s nearly impossible to know exactly the best place for everything in the room just by looking at it. Instead, we discover the best locations by trying various options. For instance, in most living rooms, there are at least three positions we could give to a full-sized sofa. Sometimes it gets down to inches and degrees of angles on which position looks the best. Now, based on where that would go, everything else would play off it… the other seating, tables, piano, curio cabinet, bookcases, lamps, plants and pictures. So, the nature of the actual placement just needs to be hands-on. To make an appointment for your in-home design consultation, click here to contact her.

Room Redesign...Come home to the rooms you've always dreamed of!
This is the fun part! Mary will work her magic by placing furniture, lighting, plants and accessories in arrangements that turn your rooms into spaces you can't wait to live in! Plus, Mary can shop for you or with you, or she can provide you with a shopping plan for purchasing additional items to complete the rearrangement, including a list of decorator discounted sources to help with the finishing touches. The results are simply amazing! If you prefer, you may schedule an in-home design consultation prior to your room restyling. To get started, click here to contact her.

Shopping Services...Get Mary's decorator discount while she shops with/for you!
If one of your secret fantasies is having a decorator shop with you or for you for items for your home...now's the time to indulge yourself! Shopping with Mary is an adventure all unto itself. You'll see how she selects and pulls things together to create the look you want. If you don't have the time or the inclination, not to worry. Mary is more than happy to get out there and get the job done for you. Here's another bonus too; she will pass on to you the decorator discount she receives at any store. You just pay Mary for her time. This is as good a time as any to call or e-mail Mary so you can go from living in a "project" to enjoying your home to its fullest. Click here to contact her.

Real Estate Staging...Turn your house into a buyer's dream come true!
Nothing is more important than a potential buyer's first impression of your home. If you want to sell your home at top price, real estate staging is critical. Buyers will be far more attracted to your house if they can imagine themselves living there and enjoying the rooms. One Day Design helps you create a spacious feeling throughout your home while updating its appearance and ambience. First, we do a walkthrough to determine which furnishings will work the best. Then, we redesign the rooms using those existing furnishings. Plus, Mary will shop for you or with you for any finishing touches. The outcome is a beautifully decorated home more ready than ever for a buyer who feels your home fits their expectations! Click here to contact her.

Holiday Decorating...Turn your house into a beautiful home for the holidays using your own decorations!
Our initial consultation will help us determine what rooms you would like decorated, where the tree will be placed and any lifestyle requests you may have.

If you'd like to learn how to decorate for next year's holidays, we'll be glad to turn it into a decorating lesson! To schedule your holiday decorating appointment, click here to contact Mary.
