<p><strong>ROOM MAKEOVERS</strong> - Based on your colors, style and <strong>budget</strong>.&nbsp; Complete with furnishings, colors, accessories and sources.&nbsp; Can be done by email.&nbsp; I can post your finished design boards online for you or send them to you as a PDF.&nbsp; $200</p>
<p><strong>DESIGN ADVICE/IN-PERSON HELP</strong> - Same as above.&nbsp; Help choosing color scheme, finding sources, choosing furnishings, organizing, freshening up, de-cluttering.&nbsp; Services start at $20/hour with a three-hour minimum.</p>
<p>* No Upcharges.&nbsp; I'm not an interior designer, so I don't have access to wholesale.</p>
<p>* No Finder's Fee.</p>
<p>* No hidden fees.&nbsp; Good solid advice.&nbsp; Great price.</p>
<p>* I am not a "re-designer" or "stager."&nbsp; I did not take a weekend course that allows me to say I'm either of these.&nbsp; I am a stylist with over eight years of photo and film styling experience and a portfolio of work.&nbsp;</p>
<p>*Please look around online and talk to friends. Compare fees/services/experience before settling on an Interior Designer, Interior Decorator or other home design professional.&nbsp; Ask for references.&nbsp; Ask to see past work. Ask your friends.</p>
<p>Remember, Interior Designers have a degree in Interior Design.&nbsp; They base their fees off the knowledge they bring to the table and their unique access to fabrics, furnishings.</p>
<p><strong>WEBSITE DESIGN</strong> - I've built this site and two others for myself on Squarespace.&nbsp; I've also done a site for Artstop and designed the Sticks website.&nbsp; I'm good, I'm fast and I listen.&nbsp; I can put up a website for you for about $220, including your own URL.&nbsp; Squarespace costs anywhere from $8-$30/month, depending on your needs.&nbsp; Your URL is paid yearly and that's about $10/yr.&nbsp; I can maintain sites and can also blog for your business - very inexpensive with price breaks for year-long contracts.</p>
<p><strong>EVENTS/PARTY PLANNING</strong> - Ideas to fit every budget.&nbsp; I can do all of the planning or act as your agent - a buffer between you and the contractors.&nbsp; I have a huge backlog of party themes, foods, drinks and decor.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://gussiedup.squarespace.com/style-counsel/rss-comments-entry-2845350.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Style Counsel Rate Card</title><dc:creator>Christi</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 14 Jan 2009 18:48:43 +0000</pubDate><link>http://gussiedup.squarespace.com/style-counsel/2009/1/14/style-counsel-rate-card.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">155663:3121183:2845261</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Style Counsel Rate Card </span></span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">(all prices subject to negotiation/circumstances and may be changed)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;">*</span><span style="font-family: arial;">General decor consult, Shopping, Prop procurement</span>, <span style="font-family: arial;">Research</span> = <span style="font-family: arial;">$20/hr</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">*</span>Photo and Film Styling, On-set dressing = </span><span style="font-family: arial;">$25/hr or $250/day (over 6 hours and up to 10 hours)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">*</span>Room makeover complete with design board, budget breakdown and sources</span> <span style="font-family: arial;">(up to 10 hours)</span> = <span style="font-family: arial;">$225</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">*Hands-on home editing for resale (up to 8 hours)</span> = <span style="font-family: arial;">$225</span>; <span style="font-family: arial;">$20 each additional hour.</span><br /><br />*<span style="font-family: arial;">Hands-on room organization = $225 (up to 8 hours); $20 each additional hour.<br /><br />*Home organization plan = $225 complete<br /><br />*Dress Space (Home/Condo dressing, Event decor) = $300 (up to 10 hours); $25 each additional hour.<br /><br />*Private Event Planning = $20/hr.
