1. When the client wishes to only consult and not purchase their furnishings: In the advent that the client does not choose to purchase the items that they consulted with us on the client will be billed for the designer’s time at the rate at an hourly rate. This includes time utilized at meetings with clients or others in regards to the client’s project, time spent putting together proposals and estimates, research and supervision of any work as it relates to the project.

2. Travel time will not be billed for unless the project (or where the place where the designer’s time is utilized) is beyond a 25 mile radius from our Southlake design studio address.

3. In keeping with our strong desire to provide our clients with the very best interior design service we fully understand that it is not always possible at the beginning of a project to determine if the client is going to go forward with their project. So we have made a provision that gives the client 2 hours of free design consultation at the start of each project. The two hours provide the client with a window to determine if they are serious in the procurement of our design services.

4. In addition to the 2 free hours of consultation, we want to provide our clients with every opportunity to utilized the time with their designer to their very best advantage so whenever we do bill for our time the client has the option of using the fee amount for purchasing their furnishings with our 10% rebate purchase plan for any of the furnishings the client decides to purchase during the following six month time period. (All sales tax, shipping, and delivery fees are excluded from this 10% rebate purchase plan.)
