DESIGN
PHILOSOPHY
Eve believes that the client's home is a personal
extension of themselves. Through understanding her client's personal
tastes, lifestyles, and needs, she helps them to customize and express
their own sense of style using the latest and best design elements.
"Listening" to the client's wish list and then interpreting
that into the finished product is her forte. If there are budget restrictions
Eve believes in creating a "master plan" for the client
to work from into the future. This avoids costly mistakes and keeps
the client on track.
DESIGN
PROCESS
It begins with a meeting in the client's home and
doing a "walk through" of the spaces to be done. Eve likes
to hear how the rooms are used and how the client envisions the finished
product. Then getting to know the client's likes and dislikes such
as colors, design styles, formal or informal, are important elements
in compiling the information to start the project. Eve has large notebooks
or room setting in all styles to help the client define his or her
style. If contractors are needed Eve has extensive resources of "tried
and true" qualified craftsmen in all fields of home improvement.
She meets with them on site and follows through to completion. Their
work is guaranteed. Eve's drapery workroom and installers are of the
highest quality. Eve designs several floor plans for the area followed
by fabric and furniture selections. Accessories are the crowning touch!
To stay informed with the latest trends in the furniture
industry Eve makes a yearly trip to the "Market" in High
Point, N.C. and visits the design centers in both New York City and
Boston several times a year, sometimes taking along clients.
