HOW WE WORK
Great design isn’t just about how a home looks. It’s about how it moves you. And sometimes, how far it makes you walk to the trash can.
Some decisions are exciting. Some are downright overwhelming. And quite a few are things you probably never imagined you’d have an opinion about.
Is marble really a good idea for the shower floor? Will that gorgeous Pinterest trend still make you happy five years from now? Why does your husband love the one light fixture you absolutely cannot stand?
We’re here to bring the vision together, sort through the possibilities and help you make decisions you’ll feel good about long after the dust settles. Expect creative ideas, practical answers and someone invested in getting it right.
Because construction rarely goes exactly according to plan. Walls aren’t always where they’re supposed to be, measurements change, and sometimes the solution offered on site is technically a fix, but not exactly a pretty one. Jennifer knows the difference. She’s there to advocate for the design, work through the challenges with your builder and find a solution that belongs to the room.
And when you and your spouse have two completely different ideas of what the kitchen should look like? Well, let’s just say Jennifer is pretty good at finding common ground without making either of you feel like you lost.
The Right Amount of Help
You don’t have to know exactly what you need before you call. That’s part of what we’re here to figure out.
A Design Consultation can stand alone. It is $500 for three hours, including a recap of notes and ideas. You can use that direction to move forward yourself, or discuss a separate scope if you need drawings, selections or more design involvement.
Jennifer takes on only a select number of major projects each year. The details deserve real attention, and so do you. Availability and expected timing are discussed before work begins.
Before the Builder. And Along the Way.
Have plans in hand? Bring them. We’ll talk about the stage of the project, what is already decided and which decisions still need attention. Already underway? That’s okay, too. We’ll look at where design help can still make a difference.
Full Circle develops the design, drawings and specifications for the agreed scope, and collaborates with your architect, builder and trades to communicate the details. You review the design direction and recommendations along the way. Your builder manages construction, scheduling and execution.
Let’s Figure Out What You Need
Every project starts with a conversation. Tell us what you’re dreaming about, what’s driving you crazy or what you just can’t seem to figure out.
We’ll discuss the scope, fee and responsibilities before beginning. Full Service Design projects receive a tailored flat fee proposal, setting out the drawings, selections, purchasing and coordination included.
Bring your plans, your Pinterest boards, your questions and even the ideas you and your spouse can’t agree on. Jennifer will bring the creativity, the experience and probably a suggestion you hadn’t considered.
Let’s make room for the way you live. And make sure the trash can is in the right place.
Allergies or material sensitivities to consider? A 150 pound dog with sofa privileges? A day that leaves you craving less glare, less visual noise and a place to exhale? Those details belong in the design conversation.
Jennifer asks how your mornings unfold, what keeps landing on the counter and what you need from home when you’ve had quite enough of the world. Your answers inform materials and fabrics, ease of cleaning, lighting, storage and how the rooms connect. The unexpected combinations and architectural moments still get their place. So does real life.
Studio visits are available by appointment only, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.
