To begin the Room Service process, Lynda meets
with potential clients to determine the issues involved. This is a
no fee consultation. In this initial interview, Lynda and the
potential clients identify the following:
- the scope of the project
- the client's goals
- the time frame
- the decision makers
- the budget (if any) for new accessories
- the cost of the service
If Lynda and the client agree that it appears
feasible, Lynda prepares a contract for review and acceptance by the
client.
When Lynda returns, she rearranges the room(s),
using primarily what the client already owns. She will search out
attics, closets, garages, even never-unpacked wedding gifts. Items
may be borrowed from other rooms.
Lynda generally works when the client is not
at home, greeting the client with a whole new look by the time they
arrive home. Each room takes, on the average, three
hours to makeover. Makeovers may be one room or a whole house.
They may be done all at one time or incrementally.
Additional services may be contracted for
color studies, recommendations for wall coverings, window
treatments, floor coverings, furniture, etc.
Fees: Hourly fees range from
$125 to $175 an hour depending on services performed. Drive time:
$35 an hour.
