The List Maker  $500

Master your ‘Must-Haves’ so you search for only those homes that will suit you!  The List-Maker session is an in-depth needs analysis based on the practice of interior design.  I  uncover your space-related preferences, patterns and pet-peeves, and examine how these might help you and your family function well in your next place.  I flag those delicate discussions you might want to have in advance, reveal which home-staging tricks will trigger you, and suggest what you should look for and avoid when shopping for properties.   You will learn:

  • How to see past the home-staging
  • The difference between condition & function
  • How to size up space objectively
  • What kind of storage to seek
  • What attracts & repels you
  • How to know if you & your stuff will fit

To begin, you’ll fill in my design-based diagnostic questionnaire.  Then, we’ll do a 90-minute conversation, by phone or Skype, and talk shop about your design requirements.  When our discussion is done, I’ll summarize and send you your very own cheat sheet, prepared by me.  Take it with you when shopping, and refer to it often.

You’ll receive:

  • Your own design diagnostic worksheets, provided in advance
  • A 90 minute conversation by phone or Skype
  • A Housters & Co. cheat sheet, a written summary of the most powerful ideas to come out of our conversation, along with personalized design advice to get your shopping started smart.  Delivered direct to your inbox.
