How We Work Together
-
Where every project begins. Two hours together in your space, solving function and layout and setting the design direction. You'll leave with a clear plan and honest answers about what's worth doing.
$200/hour, two-hour minimum.
-
The whole thing, handled. I manage the plan, the trades, the selections, and the on-site quality control from demo day to the final reveal so you get one point of contact and a finished home, not a second job.
-
Trade-vendor appointments for the pieces that make a room: lighting, plumbing, tile, rugs, and furnishings sourced through relationships you don't get shopping retail.
Our Services

Do you have a space or area in your house that isn’t working for you? Many spaces can be modernized and laid out differently to make it function and operate much better for your needs. Sometimes it is a simple change; other times, it is a complete overhaul. During this consult, I will listen to how you use the space, brainstorm, and problem-solve to make it work at its highest level. We will space plan and review finishes to achieve the desired style and aesthetic for the future space. My role extends beyond designing; I’m here to guide you through the entire renovation process. With a network of three reliable, trusted teams—well-versed in both renovations and new construction—I can provide accurate job quotations once we solidify our plans. Throughout the journey, from pre-construction choices to on-site quality assurance, I’ll be there to navigate any challenges that arise and help bring your vision to life.

Your home holds a lot of great memories—so many firsts, fun times with family and friends. Letting it go hurts, but your family’s needs are changing. As you look around your house, you see various things you want to change, update, or eliminate. Life is different now; you could use a home office, the kids need a playroom or study, and a shed in the backyard sure would be nice. How do you decide whether to stay or go? Could your current home be renovated to include all these changes you want, plus the style and function you're looking for? Does it even make sense to financially put that money in this house or should we explore other housing options? There are so many things to consider, and that’s where the team at House Therapy comes in.
Betsy has been a real estate broker for 20 years and has helped clients buy and sell hundreds of homes. In this consult, we will meet at your current home to discuss your needs and whether it makes sense to tackle the renovation or consider other housing options. We'll review comparable properties and determine your home's current resale value. If moving is still on the table, we will tour several properties that could possibly be your next house. Then we will discuss if you are inspired to renovate or ready to put the sign in the yard. This is possibly a 2-part consult if touring homes is involved.
