Our holistic home design studio is based in Petaluma, CA, and we proudly serve the San Francisco Bay Area, including Sonoma, Marin, San Francisco, and the East Bay.

The duration can vary based on the unique characteristics and requirements of each project. We understand that timelines are important, and we'll communicate with you regularly to ensure your project stays on track. In general, initial phases take about 3-5 months, including drawings and design. The ordering and construction stage adds approximately 4-6 months or longer. We'll provide you with a detailed project schedule during the initial phases and proactively manage any potential delays, working closely with your contractor and our trusted network of vendors to ensure a smooth and timely completion of your project. Our goal is to minimize disruptions and keep your project on track, while maintaining the highest quality of work.

Turnkey Design is our full-service offering, where we handle every aspect of your project from concept to completion. This includes design, sourcing, procurement, project management, and installation. It's ideal for those who want a stress-free experience and a professionally designed space without lifting a finger. This service is best suited for local projects, where we can visit the property and manage the entire process on-site.

Our other services offer more flexibility and a hands-on approach for those who prefer to be more involved in the design process or have remote properties:

• Virtual Design Package: We provide a comprehensive design plan, including a design concept and visualization tools, a floor plan, a shopping list, and a styling guide, but you manage the implementation yourself. This is a great option for remote projects or for clients who prefer a DIY approach.

• Short-Term Rental Design: For local projects, this service mirrors our Turnkey Design, offering full-service design and implementation for a guest-ready experience. We can even oversee a professional photoshoot of your property to attract more bookings. For remote projects, we offer a modified version of our Virtual Design Package, tailored specifically to the needs of short-term rentals.

Yes, we can manage new build and renovation projects as part of the Full Design Service, coordinating with contractors and overseeing the process.

No, we don't offer direct contractor services. We collaborate with your chosen contractors or recommend trusted professionals if needed.

We understand that budget adjustments can arise during a project. We'll work closely with you and your contractor to adjust the design plan as needed, exploring alternative solutions or phasing the project to accommodate any changes in your budget. Transparency and open communication are key to ensuring your project stays within your financial comfort zone while achieving your design goals.

After you approve the design, we take the reins, handling every detail of the procurement process. We'll source all the furniture and decor from our trusted vendors, manage orders and communication, and coordinate white-glove delivery and installation directly with the receiving company. Your dream space will come to life seamlessly, without you having to lift a finger.

Absolutely! Your satisfaction is our top priority. We offer a collaborative design process where your feedback is valued and incorporated at every stage. We encourage you to share your thoughts and preferences, and we'll work together to refine the design until it perfectly reflects your vision.

Absolutely. As part of our Turnkey Design Process, we prioritize both elegance and durability. We specialize in selecting high-performance, quality materials—from performance fabrics to high-grade, livable finishes—that are designed to withstand the realities of family life. We ensure your space is not only beautiful but practical for kids and pets.

You can read our detailed guide, So, You Think You Can't Have Nice Things with Kids or Pets?, to learn more about the specific materials we incorporate into our projects.

Absolutely! We can incorporate your existing pieces into the design if they fit the concept. We aim to create a cohesive and harmonious space.

A receiver is a specialized warehouse that helps us streamline the delivery and installation of your furniture and decor by receiving, inspecting, and storing items from vendors who only ship to commercial addresses.

Working with a receiver offers several advantages:

• Secure Storage: Your items are inspected and safely stored until your home is ready.

• Consolidated Delivery: Multiple shipments are combined for a single, convenient delivery and installation day.

• Professional Handling: White-glove delivery and installation are coordinated to minimize disruption.

• Streamlined Process: We handle all logistics, saving you time and hassle.

While using a receiver adds a fee, it provides significant value by preventing potential damages and delays, and it offers a far smoother, more professional experience than handling deliveries yourself. We'll provide a transparent breakdown of these costs in your project proposal.
