The Process

The Cultured Palate Interior Design group offers a complimentary 30-minute consultation to get to know one another and review the scope of your remodel project.  We will discuss your ideas and provide a few suggestions to get you thinking about what you want.  It’s ideal if all of the clients who are decision-makers participate in our initial meeting to avoid confusion and see if we are a fit.

  • Scope of Work: Define the scope of work from project management to selecting finishes to a simple video consultation
  • Hourly: TCP’s hourly rate is $150
  • Signed Contract: All parties involved in making decisions and payment will be required to sign a detailed contract.

Project Management

TCP can manage your project from beginning to end including help interviewing and selecting general contractors, painters, electricians, plumbers, and handyman services. Timeline development and regularly scheduling meetings between contractors and client will keep things running smoothly to completion of the work. Scope of work can include:

  • Tile, grout, and tile layout
  • Lighting, cabinetry, cabinet pulls, countertops, vanities, mirrors, doorknobs/hinges, etc.
  • Interior and exterior paint and wall coverings
  • Flooring or refinishing of flooring

Remodeling/Refreshing

TCP will remodel and/or refresh kitchens, baths, powder rooms, laundry rooms and closets working within the clients budget and desires. Sometimes complete gut rehabs are needed and other times refreshing rooms with new countertops, pulls and refinished flooring is all it takes.

Refresh Homes for Sale

When it’s time to move on, TCP is there to work with real estate agents and homeowners to assess what will help get top dollar and move a property quickly. We love to help retirees downsize so that families can upsize.  Working hand-in-glove with agents is especially satisfying so that everyone wins from home seller to home buyer.

Vacation Homes

Whether you’re in need of an upgrade to your vacation home or you’ve decided to put your property on a short-term rental website, TCP knows how to make things pop.  Attracting short-term renters for weekend get-aways or a month-long stay, we know what it takes to appeal visually and provide practical elements for a worry-free vacation. Earning vacation home owners five-star ratings is our goal.
