Design Notes
You have decided to start a home renovation project. Congratulations! You are excited but also feeling overwhelmed by the process. Can you relate to any of this?
- What design style best represents me?
- How can I be sure I will like it once it’s finished?
- How will I find what I want with so many options?
- What comes first?
- How can I make sure the completed project feels like home?
These questions are perfectly normal. Starting a renovation can be difficult, especially if it’s your first time. Many things, such as the budget and design, need to be decided on. Our goal is to not only help you with your renovation but also assist you in finding the right design that reflects you perfectly. Find out how we help others through their renovation journey and ensure amazing results.
Understanding You And Helping You Understand Your Needs
Our first step with every new client is listening. This is the most essential part of the process because it is where you express your thoughts, needs, wishes, and goals for the new space. This is your home; you are meant to enjoy this area, so we want to make sure you are happy with the results. We listen so that we can understand your needs and help guide you to exactly the right style and choices that reflect that style.
Simplify The Process
Even though renovating your home will result in a new space that is both beautiful and functional, it can also mean you have to make adjustments until the process is complete. This is not always easy, but your design meeting and contract should be. We don’t bother you with a contract that is ten pages long, has lots of fine print, and is filled with lawyer terms. Our goal is to give you a contract that clearly explains our job and responsibilities, and leave you more time for what is essential.
Set Realistic Goals
HGTV is great at presenting an hour-long, thrilling renovation, but sadly, it often gives unrealistic goals, budgets, and visions. You can read our full article on HGTV here. In our design meeting, we go over all aspects of the project, helping you set realistic goals that lead to a smooth renovation and great results.
Presented Only With Options That Reflect You
No one likes to waste their time looking at things that don’t pertain to them, which is why we give you options that are within your guidelines, including a budget, design style, and color choices. Our experience gives us the confidence to say we know what works and what doesn’t. We have helped other clients achieve exactly what they want every time.
Walker Woodworking Budget is a keyword that we often use here. The amount of money you feel comfortable spending on a kitchen renovation will determine the scope of work you plan to do for your kitchen remodel. A budget is a plan for how you want to spend your money. It is one of the most essential pieces in the renovation plan and helps guide the project

Walker Woodworking Though our roots are in custom cabinets, we soon realized that we needed to expand our inventory to include lighting, flooring, countertops, and hardware. These elements help to complete the look and feel of a design, bringing in that last bit of the owner’s reflection.
Selecting just the right home accents and elements is often a fun process for our clients. It is an opportunity to add a little bit of themselves to the design, whether they choose the more traditional piece of hardware or go bolder with a contemporary piece. Each has a place and purpose in the design world, so we thought we would discuss a few options.
