Relocating from Sante Fe to Portland was exciting but also came with challenges. The clients purchased a beautiful new home overlooking the city and were excited to decorate their home. Their desire was to arrive from Sante Fe and walk into their home with the new furniture already placed and waiting for them. The clients had many ideas but felt like they needed help with colors and textures as well as pulling the entire space together with decorative items. They also were having a difficult time visualizing the impact of furniture scale within the living spaces. The main challenge was that most of the project would be handled long distance with only one or two visits to Portland and the clients were to arrive within three months. Communicating via telephone, mail, and email, we agreed upon a furniture arrangement, selected fabric, and decided the style of furniture. A quick trip to Portland followed and the upholstery pieces were finalized and all major furniture pieces were ordered. After a long drive from Sante Fe, the clients were thrilled to arrive at their new home and literally walk right in, put their feet up, and relax – just as they had hoped!
