An affordable coaching service for remodeling, decorating, building a home, staging for resale and age in place design. We offer expert advice and ideas that are independent and unbiased...from choosing a contractor to picking a paint color. A simple hourly rate with no up-selling, no markups, and no hidden fees. Every session is with the owner (Jodi) who specializes in working with homeowners who want livable, beautiful, and up-to-date homes done affordably. While Decor Coach provides guidance on what to buy and where, and who to hire, we do not sell any product and do not receive any commissions for referring homeowners to specific stores or to other professionals.

"I was in the midst of planning a bathroom renovation and realized I needed help pulling the whole design plan together. As a busy professional, I wanted someone who could take my vision and help me narrow down the options so that my contractor had direction on finishes and planning. Jodi at the Decor Coach was a great resource for me! In only 2 hours, she not only helped me choose light fixtures, shower design, cabinets, tile, counters, etc., she also gave me some cost saving suggestions. Her knowledge in design enabled us to cover details that I hadn't even thought of yet. She took my preferences into account to have choice, but not too many choices, and used her expertise to narrow it down and give me options. It was a relief to have someone assist me in these decisions and Jodi was also not afraid to tell me when she really felt something would not work, or was a waste of money. She also took into account the age and style of the home and the resale values in the neighborhood as well as how long I plan to remain in the house as part of the plan. It was a great experience and I highly recommend the Decor Coach!"

"Angela was excellent to work with! She was on time for all appointments, made reasonable recommendations (both price-wise and in line with our tastes). The furniture and rug ordered through Help Me Rhonda are high quality and we are enjoying them. They did take a while to arrive after ordering, so if you need something quickly, ask if they are able to rush orders. We were in no hurry, so it all worked out great for us. Highly recommend!"

Since 2001, we have been the painting contractor of choice for the homeowners and business owners of this area. Our knowledge and experience allow us to handle virtually any type of painting project, whether it is interior, exterior, residential or commercial. We have developed a large following of loyal clients, and we hope to soon add you to our family.

"I wouldn’t use this company again, even to paint a dog house. We hired Socaz to paint our kitchen cabinets and a few rooms in our house, including all baseboards. We were told that it would take 1-1.5 weeks to complete the job. It ended up taking 5.5 weeks. First off, they advertise and say that they can paint cabinets, but in all honesty, they didn’t know what they were doing in our home. Our contract stated that they would use an oil based primer and high end paint (SW Emerald or BM Advance). Without consulting us first, they used a latex primer and cheap off brand paint (none of the painters there had ever heard of it. I just happened to notice it when looking at the paint cans that they left in our garage). Needless to say, the first time they painted them, the paint immediately chipped off with a finger scrape. After our kitchen was completely walled off for days, they had to regroup and figure out how to fix them. The had to contract the job out because the employees they had could not do the job. The contractor ended up sanding it all down again and repainting everything. This time they used oil based primer, but the same cheap paint. The island is already chipping again days later. Also, a day after they finished, we tried swapping out a knob and the paint completely came off. See pictures attached. We chose colors based on SW paints (we told them up front that this is all we use in our house) and with this cheap paint they used, the colors were off, not as dark as they would have been with the Emerald paint. They painted dog hair into part of our island as well. When we started this process, we hired their “color consultant” since my husband and I are not creative types. He suggested colors for the cabinets and I picked one. The cabinet color does not work with the rest of the room... granite, tile backsplash, wall paint. You would think that somebody that they call a color consultant would have seen this when suggesting paint colors. Complete waste of money. We are now thinking that instead of swapping out the granite and tile, we will need to do a complete kitchen remodel and replace the cabinets. This was not the plan before hiring Socaz. The baseboard paint they chose didn’t match the window trim, so they repainted it all with a different color and it still doesn’t match. We gave up and will live with that. I have been cleaning paint off of our hardwood floors, granite and door knobs almost daily due to the sloppiness. We are so angry that we chose this company and wasted all of this money. It is a huge lesson learned. They finished the project almost two weeks ago and the owner, Torrance has yet to call us to see if we are happy with the job or see if there are any touchups needing to be done (There are a ton, but we do not want them back in our house). He was not easy to work with. Once things went sideways, when we would call him, his tone would change when he heard who it was, almost like he was irritated with us. Many times he didn't even respond to our texts. He didn’t seem to have a handle on this project or even know what was going on in our house half the time. None of this was our fault (except for hiring them) and we didn’t appreciate him making us feel that way. We paid a lot of money and expected a professional job. It’s not what we got. I am not one to write negative reviews often, but I couldn’t not warn people about this company. It was the most horrible experience we have ever had with any contractor in 23 years of owning homes."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

While it’s common to use the terms “interior designer” and “interior designer” interchangeably, they are two different professions, although some of their work can overlap. 

The most significant difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator is how in-depth they work for the project. Interior designers establish a floor plan, hire contractors, and make permanent decisions about the home, like cabinets and bathtubs. Interior decorators, on the other hand, make less permanent decisions about home decor, such as fabrics, wall art, and paints.

Balancing aesthetics with functionality amidst space planning is important. To do so, you could consider consulting both an interior designer and an architect to fulfill both these needs. Or you can tackle it on your own by prioritizing personal touches amidst space planning that add to the look but don't take away from the livability of the space.

Part of the beauty of academia decor is that most textures and materials will feel right at home, provided they’re dark. Some common textures include natural wood, dark metals like iron, velvet, and leather. Incorporating these into your dark academia decor will make them look right at home. Glass is another option in some cases, so fill in gaps in your decor with small glass jars, or really lean on the gothic roots of dark academia with stained glass.

With a little ingenuity, an old fireplace insert can be transformed into a decorative centerpiece that infuses new life into any room. Consider placing LED lights or candles inside to create a captivating display that simulates the warm glow of a fire. Another option is to repurpose the insert as a charming bookshelf by adding rustic shelves within the firebox. For plant lovers, converting the fireplace insert into an indoor garden is a perfect way to bring nature indoors. You can also transform it into a stylish wine rack.

It is usually worth it to hire an interior decorator, especially if you want your home to have cohesiveness and look like it belongs in a catalog. Interior decorators can be quite expensive, but decorating isn’t an ongoing cost, so you can expect to pay once for the service rather than on an ongoing basis. Interior decorating can be especially worthwhile if you’re selling your home, as house staging can make your property feel more welcoming and help buyers envision themselves living in the space.
