House Outfitting and Interior Decorating Services
Do you want to come to Costa Rica and be free to enjoy your vacation, rather than running around trying to find all the things you need to furnish your house? Do you know where to go for furniture, fabrics, rugs, window coverings and so forth?
Too many choices, not enough time?
Do you struggle with the language?
Wouldn’t it be easier if you could hire someone to buy everything you need for your house, selecting each piece so that it all comes together into an attractive, well-designed, coordinated home?
& Our mandate is… To furnish and outfit your home, making it beautiful, coordinated and comfortable -- all within your budget range. & We can help you with your entire home, offering you creative ideas, time savings and experience in the country, to assist you with selection, purchase and placement of all items for your home in Costa Rica. We will work one-on-one with you to make sure you are completely satisfied. You pay for a package of hours, not by a percentage of the cost of the items, so you can be sure we are not motivated to select more expensive things in order to charge you more. Our fees are the same, whether yours is a high-end project or “shoe-string” one. We work with different styles; whether …. Traditional, opulent, layered
or contemporary, streamlined, minimalist
…and everything in between! We specialize in accessorizing, to make even a low budget project look unique, appealing and interesting. The Process 1 Interview We work together to pinpoint your likes and dislikes, establish a style and a budget.
& 2 Plan and Approval Once we have a plan for you, we will review it together and get your approval before we start making any purchases.
