Q. What style do you decorate in?

A. We have created rooms that are traditional, contemporary, country, eclectic, masculine, feminine, whimsical, and serious. We interpret your style. You will be presented with a selection of items to choose from that will work with your taste and budget, and we pull it all together with good design principles of scale, emphasis, balance, rhythm, and harmony. The result is a room that will speak beautifully of you, and not a decorator.

Q. I have great taste and know exactly what I want. Why should I hire a decorator?

A. Are you short on time? JUST the THING can be your one-stop shop, saving you time and simplifying purchases. We can do the legwork for you, and even arrange to be at your home for deliveries and installations if you wish. We can act as your liaison with contractors for your renovation projects, and look after those annoying details on your behalf.
Can't find exactly what you want? We can source your furnishings from a variety of suppliers, or have a piece fabricated by proven craftspeople.

Q. Are you going to make me throw everything out?

A. Not unless you want to. You should identify the pieces you love and want to keep. If they don't

work with the vision you have for the space, then we can often use them in another room. Or if you don't quite have a vision yet, those pieces might become an inspiration for a new design scheme. In fact, we have had occasions when the homeowners were thinking of re-decorating, but suggestions for a simple re-arrangement of their existing furnishings and some fresh paint did the trick.

Q. Isn't it expensive to work with a decorator?

A. It's your money, and you have to set the limits. JUST the THING presents written quotes for all purchases and your approval is required before proceeding. (For more details on our pricing policy, contact us). Of course, it's always helpful to have a budget in mind at the start of the project, and to let us know what it is. With the wide variety of sources available today, we can design a terrific room for $15,000 or $50,000, or even $150,000 if we must. You decide what's expensive.
Working with JUST the THING could actually save you money in the long run. You will be avoiding costly mistakes, such as purchasing pieces that just don't fit. Our extensive product knowledge allows us to specify the right materials to meet your requirements, so your furnishings last longer. And together, we will be creating a space that you'll love for years to come.
