GYST exists to provide services that improve the function of not only your space but your life. I believe that having a place for everything relieves the stress of looking for things that don't. Since life happens fast and so does mess, I can help streamline the clutter by purging, donating and creative storage options to free up your time and mind to enjoy the more important things. Organization, space planning/design and home staging are all on the GYST menu. \nI look forward to helping you find your peace of mind.\n\n

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me.  Overall, they're good designs.  However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning.  I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.  
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question.  I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done.  If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

"It is a waste of money. The great majority of people are not going to find any value out of the service. If you need design consultation, you need a full service consultation. If you already have knowledge and experience, and you just need to get a few ideas, then you don't need to pay for that. You can just get a magazine or a book since you already have the knowledge of basic designs in your head or a little bit of experience. To have someone call you and give you information over the phone, you are not getting the personal service that you need. You may as well take the money $49 and apply it to something else like getting someone else to come out and give you the service that you need. Because, you are not getting much, you are not getting anything at all. They are going to have you do the work. After talking to them and I was talking to other home designers, I found out that that was a waste of time and waste of money. I gave them a C because they didn't fail at what they do but they don't offer any value for what they do. There's not much value to it. The cost was fair. They didn't do a terrible job and the cost isn't terrible, it was only $49. It just has a very low value. For responsiveness I gave them a B because they will answer your phone and answer your emails."

What It Means to Listen: \nFor a designer, the greatest challenge tends to be just listening to their client. One of the most often heard complaints I have had from my clients is that past designers have not listened to what they want or need in their homes or spaces. Many designers think that only the designer knows what is best, so they push forward with their ideas. However, balance needs to be exercised due to the fact that this is also their clients home-not just a show piece for them to publish. My goal is to create a custom space for my client, in that way they have something that no one else has, a space based on inspiration all their own.\nWhat To Expect:\nEvery project begins with the initial consultation: (1) I meet you at your home or the location where the design will take shape. (2) I listen to what you want out of the space; what it will be used for, likes and dislikes, lifestyle and taste. (3) I take detailed measurements and submits them to my subs. \n

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

Decorators often prefer artificial Christmas trees. They’re easier to handle and shape, and decorators don’t have to worry about bugs or allergies. It’s also an ideal choice because artificial trees keep up appearances without owners needing to schedule watering. 

However, always confirm that decorators are ready to unbox and set up the artificial tree. If they don’t include tree set-up in their services, you may need to hire a general handyperson for that task.

To help the designer understand your vision, provide room dimensions, photos, and a list of needs or preferences.

Before hiring an interior designer, ask a few questions to better understand how they work, what’s expected of you, and what they promise to deliver.

  • How long will the project take to complete?

  • What type of services do you offer?

  • Can you provide a project estimate?

  • Do you work with subcontractors?

  • Are you licensed or certified in this state?

  • Do you have a portfolio of previous work I can review?

  • May I contact your customer references?

  • How do you handle change orders?

  • How do you handle payment?

British architect John Nash is credited with creating the Italianate style of architecture. The style was further popularized in the U.S. by landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing and architect Calvert Vaux. The style spread across the U.S. due to Downing’s popular book on the style and the availability of plans and materials due to the mass production of the Industrial Revolution.

Costs depend on project size, customization, and the designer’s experience and hourly rate.
