Carole Charlin’s Summary
Organizing has been a theme the past year. I have helped to organize homes and businesses. There are many people out there who are inundated with clutter. It has been a pleasure for me to help them to create areas of comfort in their homes or easy access in areas of their businesses. Staging of residential properties for sale has been another aspect of design I have developed -- helping owners to attract buyers by preparing the rooms of their homes making them clutter free, warm and appealing.
"A home is a retreat that soothes the senses and renews the spirit, a place -- and space -- of comfort and calm. A home is not a depository for the things we buy. A home is a home and a storage locker is a storage locker. I've never seen a storage locker I wanted to live in."
* RE-ORGANIZE * RECYCLE * RECLAIM
My Design Ethos... WORK with clients and LISTEN to them, to make their home or work space an ORIGINAL that celebrates their own UNIQUE STYLE -- and keep it simple, clean and easy!
* RESTORE * RENEW * RE-ENERGIZE
My Design Approach… REMOVE clutter, ENHANCE space, LIGHT interiors -- UN-decorate them to create HARMONY and a fresh, rejuvenated look!
