Around 2005, I realized I was being asked more and more to help with displaying beautiful objects and collections in people’s homes. In doing that it became clear that some homes just were not set up to showcase the owners collections, treasures or interests. I began purchasing and customizing handcrafted studio pedestals, end tables and rugs. The idea was to create backdrops which complemented a special piece.
Soon, I was consulting on room design. Why not have an artisan built-in bookcase? Why not purchase a custom-made for your space, handknotted rug for the same $ as a commercial installed one? Your home is so unique; why fill it with commercial lighting? Artists we know make lighting and lamps of materials and designs so varied it would truly be Your Very Own Lighting.
Vermont Interior Designers like me truly serve a purpose for everyone. Whether you have no idea where or how to begin to decorate your home, or whether you have an idea but need help tying pieces together, or you simply haven’t the time to execute your style and desires due to your busy day to day schedule.
Interior design is a skill and an art that will only enhance the space and the quality of your life in the space. Hiring a pro raises the level of that experience and makes your house your home. At Stowe Craft, we are uniquely positioned to do that for you using beautiful and useful products handmade in America by artisans in their own small studios.
Save Money.
It might sound strange that hiring someone to decorate your home would save you money since you have the additional fee of the designer. But you will find that having someone with experience and the ability to define what makes you different will not only avoid costly mistakes but will also increase the value of your home.
Get A Roadmap to Success
With my experience in architectural stained glass, building my 1st home from the ground – up, managing a craft gallery and an interior design center; you will find I can plan purchasing and installations with exquisite attention to detail. This kind of planning let’s you and me see potential issues before they have been put into action.
Save Your Time
One of the big things an interior design brings to the table is the gift of time. Designers have resources they use and can get results from. For instance, at Stowe Craft we have over 30 years working with artists, craftsmen, designers, subcontractors and other service providers. Resources like this save you time researching products, brands, prices and most definitely, quality and reliability of work.
Discover a Wide Range of Resources.
There are things available to designers that are not available to the general public in terms of number of connections, resources and general merchandise. Details like this are the glue which can make your space look it’s most personalized for you, unique and pulled together.
Have No Worries.
Reliable quality and timely contractors, artisans, carpenters, plumbers and electricians for projects.
Get Immediate Feedback
A designer is a professional with a trained eye that can automatically tell you if there is something wrong or right with a space. Having that immediate consult is a major advantage when making aesthetic decisions. It is the result of years of experience and getting to know you.
