The Process
Project Intake
In this phase, we start by discussing your space and understand the environment where your custom piece will live. We'll have a detailed discussion about your intentions, needs, and vision for the project, ensuring that we align on both the functional and aesthetic goals. If you have any inspiration or specific ideas in mind, this is the perfect time to share them, as we'll use this input to guide the design process and tailor the project to your unique requirements. To get the project started, we collect a $1,000 non-refundable deposit, which allows us to move forward with the design and planning process.
[PHASE 02]
Sketching & Design
Next, we create detailed drawings that allow you to visualize how your custom piece will look within your space. These renderings provide a clear and accurate representation of the design, ensuring that every angle and detail aligns with your expectations. This step is crucial for refining the design and making any necessary adjustments before moving forward with the build.
[PHASE 03]
Finish Build
Once the sketches are approved, we move forward with crafting your custom piece. This phase typically takes 1-4 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Upon completion, we offer local delivery and can also arrange for secure shipping, ensuring that your furniture arrives safely at your home.
