House Calls
House Calls offers custom design and decorating recommendations for a package price.
It's 4 basic steps:
Step 1: Information gathering. The client describes what they want to achieve and provides us with visuals to explain style preferences; houzz.com is a great resource for visuals.
Step 2: A 2-hour consulting session in your home.
Step 3:. We write the report and add visuals, to "paint a picture" of a color and design scheme.
Step 4: In-home review.
The fee covers our appointment, the written report and the follow up appointment.
The report is tailored to your goals. It includes design/style recommendations as well as product and service suggestions. The report will respond to your questions with visual aids, including indications for furniture layouts, color schemes, window treatments, lighting, furnishings, and styling.
Actual to-scale furniture layouts and drawings-to-scale are not included but can be done on request.
Along with the scaled layouts additional services such as: budgets, shopping, purchasing, on-site installations are available at an hourly rate. Hourly rate is $120.00.
If we are placing orders and purchasing merchandise from to-the-trade sources, there is a 30% commission added to trade pricing. Retail purchases are billed at retail prices. Vintage accessories may receive a markup if purchased below market value.
House Calls pricing starts at $3,200.00.

“I feel so lucky to have found Patti through Houzz! I started out with her House Call service, just a few months ago. Though my project is focused more on the kitchen/dining area, I found this House Call service to be incredibly helpful – money well spent! The final product was a comprehensive report that included an overview of goals for home improvement projects as well as very specific recommendations around color schemes, fabric and even furniture options. This will serve as a very helpful resource and guide for all future decorating.
Patti is all-around amazing but a few things are really notable:
1) My husband and I have different design tastes and Patti uses her unique ability to integrate our different design preferences.
2) Patti respects and effectively manages different price points, she honestly tells you where money is best saved or spent .
3) She has an amazing eye for color, fabrics, and art along with a network of folks to call on if needed.
4) Perhaps most importantly, she is a real pleasure to work with – she listens and is creative, professional and timely. I look forward to designing with Patti in the future.”
