Trying to build or remodel solo? It's like navigating a design jungle blindfolded. You start with a dream, but quickly find yourself tangled in a mess of budget battles, style standoffs, and contractor chaos. You're suddenly swimming in a sea of tile samples, questioning every paint swatch, and wondering why those "perfect" fixtures look like they belong in a different dimension. And let's be real, like the design itself, the financial aspects of building or remodeling often take unexpected turns and require flexibility as the project progresses. "Initial estimates"? More like "a flexible framework," right? That's where I, Stephanie Kratz, step in – your design partner, your fierce advocate, and your stress-reliever. I'm here to not just guide you, but to fight for your vision and make sure it is not just done but done right and well! I'll translate those confusing building codes, wrangle those contractors, and make sure your home reflects your style, not some cookie-cutter design. This comprehensive approach extends to your furnishings as well. You're envisioning those perfect new pieces that will define your style and complete your space, and I understand that perfectly! We'll also thoughtfully integrate those cherished pieces, ensuring your home's architecture and design create a seamless, harmonious flow that honors both existing and future selections. But even better? We'll customize your home with a vision for your new furniture in mind. Imagine built-ins designed to perfectly frame that modern sofa you've been eyeing, or lighting that highlights the sleek lines of your dream dining set. We'll build the space around your life, and your treasures, both old and new, not the other way around. I'll manage the logistics, the timelines, and all the nitty-gritty details, so you can actually enjoy the process. No more design dilemmas or breakdowns. Just a beautiful, functional home that truly feels like you. By working together, we'll bypass the pitfalls of DIY disasters and create a home that's not just stunning, but also a reflection of your unique personality and lifestyle.
