home size
This package is designed for studios, 1-bedroom, or small 2-bedroom homes (up to 1,200 sq ft).
For larger homes (3+ bedrooms or 1,200+ sq ft), the 10 hours of unpacking may not be sufficient to complete the entire home. I'll provide a custom quote after assessing your space - typically adding 5-8 additional hours with my assistant.

why this works
No wasted money on furniture that doesn't fit: You know exactly what size furniture works before you buy anything. No returns, no storage units full of furniture that doesn't work, no guessing.
Everything is planned, then executed perfectly: When moving day comes, there's no stress about where things should go. We follow the plan, and your home comes together beautifully and functionally.
Walk into a finished home from day one: No living out of boxes for weeks. No eating takeout because you can't find your kitchen supplies. You arrive to a home that's completely set up and ready to live in.
Your space works for how you actually live: The layout is designed around your lifestyle, not just what looks good. You get a home that functions smoothly for your daily routines.

what happens
Phase 1 - Before Your Move: We meet (virtually or in-person) to discuss your vision, needs, and lifestyle. I create custom layouts for your new space showing exactly where furniture should go for optimal function and flow. You receive measurements and shopping guidance so you know what to purchase before moving day.
Phase 2 - Moving Day: Your movers deliver your belongings (you coordinate directly with them).
Phase 3 - Setting Up Your New Home: My assistant and I arrive after the movers leave. We unpack everything according to the plan - furniture goes in the right spots, items are organized logically in kitchens and closets, systems are set up for easy maintenance. We work efficiently so your home is functional fast.

timeline
Pre-move: Design work happens 1-2 weeks before your move date (gives you time to purchase any needed furniture)
Move day + 1-2 days: Unpacking and organizing happens on or shortly after moving day
Total timeline: 2-3 weeks from initial consultation to completely settled home.

Then what?
You're completely settled and ready to enjoy your new home from day one! Everything has a place, systems are intuitive, and you can start living in your space immediately instead of spending weeks unpacking.
If you need additional support:
-
Extra hours: $110/hour with my assistant (for additional rooms or spaces beyond the main living areas)
-
Professional styling: $425 (My design assistant Kari adds art and décor placement for a polished, magazine-ready look - requires her availability)
-
Extra donation runs: $75 per trip beyond what's included
-
Post-move maintenance visit: $200 for 2 hours (I come back 2-4 weeks later to tweak systems)
