DESIGN SERVICES PROPOSAL
Why Work with SC Interiors?

YOUR DESIGN ADVOCATE. I work closely with your contractor while representing your design goals, helping ensure every decision supports the overall design direction we've created together.

Design Intent
My goal is to create a home that feels timeless, warm, and personal—one that celebrates its historic charm while making everyday living more comfortable and enjoyable.
Through thoughtful space planning, we'll create a kitchen that's a pleasure to cook in, a primary bathroom that feels like a relaxing retreat, and spaces that work just as well for quiet days at home as they do for gathering with family and friends. Improved flow, functional storage, and modern conveniences will make each space more intuitive and enjoyable to use.
Throughout the home, we'll incorporate layered textures, classic finishes, and thoughtful details that complement the existing architecture—creating a home that feels fresh and refined, yet welcoming and true to its history.
