Residence
Thank Ann, for considering Thurman Design Studio to assist in the design and build of your new home!
Preliminary Budget
Breakdown
Below is the link the the Preliminary Budget Breakdown. As discussed we can certainly do this in phases. I like to provide the big overall picture first.
This pricing is in step with the brands you mentioned you liked, a mid range. Not low, but not overly luxury either. Items that are made well, comfortable and will last. Upholstery can be kid/ pet friends as well.
We can work within any budget I just want to set proper expectations based on quality and style preference. All product includes shipping fees.
AGREEMENT
Below is the agreement for you to review. It's a tad lengthy yes, but it ensures both you and I have a smooth working relationship. Design fee in included in this document. The fee is based on whole project volume so if scope of work reduced the interior design budget and install hours will adjust accordingly. I will need to add the house address to his contract.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
NOTES:
I know Bob is not yet done with the drawings but there were a few things I need to point out.
- The 2nd floor kitchen - dining - living room is not an efficient use of space.
Not sure if you realize you have very little counter space you have? I would ask him to add a wall of cabinets (or we could purchase a cool furniture hutch. I have indicated this in the drawing below.
OR
- Add an island.
- As shown, you have to enter the kitchen to get to the powder room...odd.
Flip entrance to powder to now be in the hall. Now you can move the fridge into to old opening and gain counter space (coffee, wine fridge, or tea area).
There are few other suggestions I would recommend in regards to space planning. We can chat further should the project proceed.

CIENT REVIEWS
We contracted Laura Thurman to help us with a full renovation of our condo in Charlotte. Laura was attentive to our needs, budget, and style while guiding us to new trends in design. She successfully created for us a perfect balance between style and comfort. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Thurman Design Studio for any design project big or small!
