Joel Mueller, my client, and I
Recipients of the Kalamazoo Historic Preservation Commission
Award of Merit, May 2011
Joel, owner of the residential rental property, hired me to decide on the new exterior colors for this historic home, built in 1886 on Westnedge Avenue. Joel decided to remove all the exterior original paint to the hard wood and trained his team in lead safe work practices in stripping the old paint. After some repairs, I came in and selected the exterior colors, dark grey for the siding with cream trim, and metallic gold and black as accents in the gables and other detailing of the house.
Designed Inside is my residential interior design business that I launched in January, 2009. Whether you need help with redesign, styling, renovations, color selections, or home staging, I'll help you achieve the look you want within budget.
I believe your home should reflect your personal taste and style. That's why I spend considerable time listening to each client's specific goals and ideas right from the start. I guide my clients every step of the way by sketching my own drawings of the space they want to improve. This way they can see the design before the process starts!
I have another passion and that is the love of photography and capturing special moments in time. I can utilize my photography in a special design element for your home, ask me how! You can also view my other website at, www.ambertillerphotography.vpweb.com
My business is based on the belief that I can help my clients achieve their style for their home without breaking their bank accounts! I offer a very affordable design rate. I can work alone or closely with a contractor to ensure quality workmanship and attention to detail. I assist Ron Wright, owner of Finished Basements R Us, LLC., in renovations and complete basement finishing. You may view his website at, www.finishedbasementsrus.com
