This project was amazzzing!
I had moved to Vegas without much furniture and just doing the minimum. I knew I needed to snazz my place up a bit (a lot, really), but my budget was small -- and as this is a rental I felt I was a bit limited in my options.
I looked for design help here in Vegas, and it was very difficult to find someone who would work with me -- either they were very high-end, wanted to tear down a wall or something -- or worked with 'staging' companies that spruce up your place to sell it. None of those fit me.
Then I found wonderful Rochiel. Not only has she got a real savvy sense of style. She's got a sense of people too. She's inspirational and encouraging BOTH at once.
She helps me uncover what I LIKE -- she didn't try to convince me what others say I should like. Lover her approach to Feng Shui! I got so much joy and high-energy working with her! For me, it was kinda like a road trip (the fun kind) - where you see something, it just hits you and you feel OK to take it home and play with it.
Now I've got a wonderful living room that is both relaxing and welcoming (jazz motif), a great home office area that is wide open and well arranged - and some other great spaces. I can't believe this is MY house -- it's the kind of place (and feeling) that I'd see when I visited friends -- and be a little sad I had to leave. Now it's HOME. I never would have been able to do this on my own.
It wasn't expensive. It wasn't drudgery. It was fun to build piece by piece (and Rochiel was so key to it all). Good ideas, but she helped me ponder my own - and kept me on track when I needed to stay focused.
If you're tired of your place, or know you need a remake, call Rochiel. She'll give you great ideas -- and support you all the way if you ever feel overwhelmed
