Ratzlaff Virtual Consultation

I recently had the pleasure of working with the Ratzlaff family. The wonderful and talented Miss Kelleigh blogged about it here:




In an effort to get caught up, I've got my consultation service on hold. I plan on re-activating the button in my sidebar, and taking new clients, by mid-August. I'm working from dawn til dusk, every day, to create refreshing, stylish designs for everyone who has hired me. And even though I'm up to my eyeballs in design dilemmas, I'm lovin' every minute of it! It is such a joy to be welcomed into so many friendly homes.

    Great suggestions. I love ideas that only involve little bits of changes but look like you did a ton. Like your kitchen (not discounting your time and energy) no new cabinets, but a totally new look.

    I just watched the first episode of design star and my hubby was in the room. Then I showed him your take on the room....."oh, that's so much nicer!" he said.
    We love your room! The guys design is a little too edge for us.

    I love your ideas. I am so waiting for you to start back up in mid-August. I am anxiously waiting to have you help me with my house.

    Hi Layla- I've never commented before but have been following for a long time. I am so glad to hear your consultations are coming back! I asked my husband for one for my birthday! And when I went to order it I saw they were on hold. I am excited now. Love your work.

    Great job, Layla! I love her Kim Parker canvas - makes me miss mine a bit but *le sigh*, it no longer worked. She did a really good carrying out your design plan!

    Hi Layla - I'm so glad your swamped with work! You will be making the world a prettier place, one room at a time. I began posting before and after shots of the addition my husband and I just built yesterday. They will run (except Sunday) through the middle of next week. It was 1200 square feet - it takes time. :)

    Can't wait for your consultations to come back! That is such a great option for people who don't have access to another designer in the area, that they love their work! Can't wait!

    I love your stuff. I'm so design- challenged it's terrible. Well done!
    So glad you're enjoying what you're doing because it's so clear that you're excellent at it! I may need my own consultation... how much for an entire house? lol
    just kidding

    Layla,

    I loved the layout and what you did with that room. I have a question on where you can find chairs like you are suggesting or at least what the style is called. I love the clean lines but when I google chairs I see a zillion different kids but they're predominantly BULKY. Know where I can find some similar to what you are recommending? I've looked under living room, office chairs, etc. Are they kitchen chairs? Please help!

    Thanks,
    Julie
