Hi Everyone! With everything that is going on in the world- I have decided to post on Facebook for help/support both to my friends and family- but also to my business.
Like so many, my business has been hit pretty hard with the exponential acceleration of the COVID-19 Virus. Many projects, current contract proposals and potential jobs have been cancelled due to the pandemic present in our "new" everyday lives.
For a while, I sat at home thinking that it would be okay, things would settle down or at least come to more of a halt. But as time has progressed...it looks like that will not be the case for a bit longer. That being said, I have thought of ways to keep my business doors open, and also help others during this stagnant time at home.
For some, money is very tight right now and I am aware and respectful of that. I share the same predicaments, so please do not take any offense to this: but I am offering an opportunity for some who have the disposable income or money set aside for Interior Projects/design ideas that would like help- without physical contact.
I have decided to create virtual design projects, fully designed and "turn key" ready options for families and clients that want to have a "project" completed at their home without having to put themselves at risk during this time. By offering heavily slashed hourly design charges- I am able to help with small projects and plan/coordinate now, so that once this whole time period blows over and restrictions are lifted- your project will be ready to either hire, or complete yourself. If you choose to do the DIY option- I will include all engineered and fully spec'd out drafted drawings and selection portfolios for your convenience and will also be available to answer questions or provide assistance any way I can.
I know these times are tough, but if we can all help each other...we can make the best of it all and still get things done.
Need help with paint colors? Ask me.
Want a built-in Idea for your living room wall? Ask me.
Want new landscaping and need a full plan? Ask me.
Blowing out some walls? Ask me.
New Kitchen? Ask me.
Ask me and I will help!
The normal rate for a d&Co. Contract is 175$ an hour. I am now accepting projects at 35$ an hour. Most projects are performed, designed, completed and submitted for review within 4-5 hour time periods. All logged and provided details. Plus...most of you know me, I go above and beyond the restrictions of a "timeline" and offer more than allotted help after contracts are complete.
Lets get through this together! Helping each other and making every day cooped up at the house fun, exciting and beautiful.
Thank you for everyone who takes the time to read this.
Please share or tag those who you think may benefit from this opportunity. And please feel more than comfortable to reach out and talk to me about your projects and your budget. I am happy to help wherever possible.
Thank you and have a safe and happy rest of your Monday!
