We decided to start a little business venture, because we're crazy like that. It's called Tart House Design and our fees are super cheap; we will help you make your house look better on a budget. Don't be too impressed, but we already have TWO clients.
Here's what we did for our client, Heidi. Heidi wanted a new home office space. Here's how the process worked:
Consultation - We met with Heidi to talk about her ideas and assess what she already had in her house that would work for the room. We discussed functionality, style, color scheme, organization, etc.
Shopping - With Heidi's blessing and budget we purchased items for the room, keeping everything affordable. We used Ikea, thrift stores, and shopped the sales.
Install - Two weeks after the consultation we came back to put the room together for Heidi. We were finished in about four hours.
Here are the results:
Client already owned - desk, bookshelf, armchair

Each family member got their own entryway basket, labeled with their first initial.
We got her entryway table from a garage sale for $10 bucks. Here's how it looked before:
A few more details:
The entire room cost about $275. If you live in the Phoenix area and want help with a room in your house send me an e-mail for details and rates!

What a great idea! I wish we lived closer so you guys could help me with my place! :-)
ReplyDeleteWOW! great job...and super shoppers!! I love the drapes...did you buy them as-is, or create the stripe yourself?
ReplyDeleteCassie - The curtains are just plain white curtains from Ikea, I attached ribbon for the stripes using iron-on fusing tape.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great improvement. I really like what you did in the entryway.
ReplyDeleteI know you two will be successful! And Heidi's room is awesome! I can't believe you did all that only spending what you did.
ReplyDeletewow, that is a fantastic transformation, especially for less than $300! great job! I wish I lived in the Phoenix area!
ReplyDeleteGuess I should have given you less embarassing before pictures! I love what you guys did so much!! I have been fighting the urge to just sit in there all day and do nothing. It looks so amazing, and it is so nice to have a completed, organized office! You guys are amazing!
ReplyDeleteWould you be willing to come to Tucson? Love what you did, it looks great!
ReplyDeletei want video of heidi's reaction! i looks awesome, guys!
ReplyDelete*it. haha
ReplyDeletebeautiful! Great job for a great price.
ReplyDeleteLove the room! Where did you find the "a"
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I wish I lived closer
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I stopped by tonight. The room looks amazing!! You are uber talented.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I have that same bookshelf and I have been TRYING to arrange things properly for months. I love what you did! I might have to take some notes :)
ReplyDeleteDo you take day trips to Albany?:) I love your style of decorating. So affordable and so lovely. Where did you get the "A"?
ReplyDeleteHeidi already had the "A", it was gold and we just spray painted it black.
ReplyDeleteI'll be your first out of town customer right? We are only 45 minutes from Holbrook and it is much cooler here than it is down there right now! Just kidding. That is awesome about starting your business. You will do great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful room! Love how you designed the room and how functional it is. I have a front room similar to this that is suppose to be a dining room but after seeing this I could totally see it transformed into an office/sitting room.
ReplyDeleteWOW! WOW! WOW! Heidi just told me about this room on Sunday(we go that map you put up for our father-in-law's birthday) & the subject came up! So glad she told me about your design site. You are amazing...I can't wait to go out and see this room in person.
ReplyDeleteHow did you get the A to stand by itself on the shelf? I have a similar A and would like to do the same thing you did. Thanks!
