Styling and Seasonal Decorating

Think of styling as a mini facelift or a temporary change to your décor. It may involve things like minor decluttering and reorganization, adding accessories and plants that compliment a space, decorating for the holiday season, or designing a table setting to wow your dinner guests. Where decorating and design tend to focus on changes to a space that are long term/permanent, styling is transient.

Landscape Decorating and Design

With a little work, your home property would be the perfect place to spend more time outdoors, so what is stopping you? Does the word overwhelm come to mind? Designing outdoor garden rooms, property landscaping, choosing garden bed plants, or installing a gorgeous planter on your front step; these are just a few of the things we specialize in. Let us help turn your overwhelm into excitement.

Testimonials

“I hired Celia to help renovate my main floor. When completed, I had a beautifully transformed, vibrant space I proudly call home. Since then, I have hired Celia for numerous smaller projects, including landscaping my front and back yard. Celia is very conscientious about her work and clients. She spends a lot of time up front learning your style, likes, dislikes, and what is important to you. She then proceeds to ensure her design choices match your wants and needs. I’m sure you’ll enjoy working with Celia and will love the results!” – Catherine Thorburn
