Home At Last Decor

I have worked with Christine for several years whenever we start a home project. I have always been very pleased with the results. She is always quick to respond, has great ideas to fit within my budget and is very knowledgeable. Her eye for color combinations and suggestions is amazing. She is definitely my first phone call when we start a project!

When I purchased by condo in December 2012 it needed a complete interior paint make-over. and did not know how to begin. I was clueless as to which colors to use so I did some research and was able to find Christine (Owner of Home At Last Decor) to work with. I have worked with Christine twice during the past 6.5 years and have been totally satisfied with her professional recommendations and clear printed instructions in the Decor Guide she provides following her brief (1 to 2 hours) consult. The guide makes it very clear, room by room, as to the paint color, manufacturer and specific type of paint she recommends. The Guide also provides additional information, such as to coordinating colors of furniture I might choose to use when decorating each room. The information she provided in January 2013 has been used whenever I was seeking new furniture or replacing vanities. After our first consult, I had her serve as the "final inspector" of the painting contractor. This worked out well, since the painters were then aware that it would not be me conducting the final inspection but a professional designer and color coordinator. I have received many compliments on the colors she recommended. I am now having to sell my condo and in do so I have replaced all the kitchen and vanity cabinets and recently asked her to return in order to provide guidance on coordinating colors. Beside the recommendations on new wall colors for the kitchen she also finalized the selection of a new flooring color/design of the laundry room, throw-pillows for the couch, lamps, seat cushions, and shower curtains. In her Decor Guide she even provided electronic links as to where I could purchase the new items at a very reasonable price. She also included in the guide from this last visit tips on showing my condo to prospective buyers. Christine provides immediate and extremely valuable advise for the reasonable fee that she charges. It is definitely money well spent and I would definitely continue to work with her if I continued to stay in this area. If you are unsure about which paint or floor colors will work best for your home's interior I highly recommend her services. She definitely knows what she is doing and does not waste your valuable time when she is working with you. Although, the entire project of painting the interior and renovations of the kitchen and bath costs approx. $15,000 her fees for a few hours of her time and professional guidance was only $350 (for consults in 2013 and this month). There is no doubt in my mind that this amount was definitely money well-spent.

We built a new house woth a very open concept and were overwhelmed with where to begin on paint colors. Christine came to the rescue and picked a beautiful palet of colors that fit our style and furnishings. In her initial consultation, she spent 2 hours with us, and shortly after leaving provided us with the most detailed report consisting of paint colors, measurements for rugs, lamps, etc., as well as specifics on furniture and accessory placement. It has made this novice feel like a pro and pur house look better than the model :).

Unbeatable punctuality, professionalism, listening and foresight. 'Christine knows her stuff with mastery. She cared at every step as she walked through our place. She offered advices on small details that would make a palpable difference once addressed.

I am pleased to recommend the artistic talent of Christine, owner of Home at Last Décor, for all home remodeling projects. My wife and I have sought her advice on 3 major home renovations and have been fully satisfied with her work and very proud to show off the final results to our friends and family. After listening to our ideas for each project and how we intended to use the space, Christine was able to describe her vision for the various components of the space. She described her idea for the placement of our current furniture and, in some cases, suggested a new piece of furniture; determined where additional lighting should be installed and suggested new lighting fixtures; and recommended colors of paint for walls, ceiling and trim, giving a full description by brand and identifying number. Within an hour or two of her visit, she emailed a written description of her recommendations along with the detailed product information and appropriate guidance for completing the project. We could not be happier with her interior design recommendations and the professional manner in which she conducted her business.

Hiring Christine was the best decision I made during the process of buying and moving into our new home! Christine was easy to work with, her expert advice on paint choices, lighting and trim enhancements, area rug and furniture suggestions kept me from making costly mistakes. Her design and paint recommendations turned an ordinary plain house into a gorgeous home! All the rooms coordinate beautifully, are dramatic and stunning! We have had many compliments from family and friends. Her rug suggestion, was absolutely spot on! It enhances the foyer beautifully, bringing the furniture, flooring and wall colors together. Christine provided a clear, easy to follow written design guide with all of her paint choices and design suggestions. The guide is a key tool and made implementation so easy. She also recommended a professional painter; he and his team did a superb job for a very reasonable price. They did such an excellent job, I am planning on having AP Painting return to complete future work. I whole heartedly recommend Christine and her service, HomeAtLast. I won't hesitate to call her again for future design assistance!

Inviting Christine to our house to give design advice was the best decision I have made in a long time. She came in just in time to stop us from doing exactly the opposite of what we should in our kitchen redesign. In the end we will make fewer changes that will make bigger impacts and visually open our kitchen tremendously. We are going to invite her out again when we redo the bathrooms in a couple of months. Thanks Christine.

Christine was extremely helpful in helping me select paint colors. She also gave me suggestions for accessories and furniture placement. She provided a written recap of her visit that contained all paint suggestions and a resource list for accessories. I am so pleased with the result. I will definitely use her for any future projects..

Christine at Home at Last Décor is absolutely amazing! I cannot say enough about what a pleasure and absolutely positive experience we have had with her! Christine's talent to choose a beautiful color palate and match it with our personal taste is to be commended. She helped us immensely with our basement design from choosing paint colors, where to start and stop the colors on certain walls, chose flooring material and colors to compliment the walls, and gave us a document with all of the information complete with links to purchase the suggested products. Her work was so amazing, so perfect, so US, that we had her back to help us with the remainder of our home. Once more, she did not disappoint!! I am so thankful for her and her talent, there is no amount of money that I could adequately thank her with for making our house a warm home. In addition to being incredibly talented, she is also very responsive if there are any questions, even after her job is through. I would be remiss if I did not mention the incredible value for the money. I felt like I should owe her double the amount I paid her even just after the consultation!! I highly recommend Christine and Home at Last Décor!! I would be more than happy to share pictures and or more information if needed. Top notch company through and through!!

I consulted with Christine on paint colors and design tips for my home. I went with the paint colors she recommended to accent the architectural details of my home and furnishings, and it has absolutely transformed my home. In addition, Christine made suggestions on furniture placement to improve the flow of the rooms and recommended a few new items that were in line with my design preferences and budget. I love how my home looks (Thank you, Christine!). I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Christine and look forward to working with her on future projects.

We were new to the NOVA area and needed help furnishing our new build townhome. We searched online for decorators but most charged high fees for consultation and most were recommending their own products. I didn’t want an interior designer to completely take over the project; instead we needed help fine tuning the plan and talking through ideas with an expert. Working with Christine was absolutely wonderful. We were able to take advantage of an online new client special that included a flat rate for full home consultation. She came out to our home and we walked through every room, she offered suggestions on what finishes would be best. The best value came in her personalized decor guide which she provided the same day by email. This is a blueprint for how to furnish our home and includes links to actual items she recommends. The blueprint guide includes details on where to find items, recommended sizes, and colors. It allows for you to decorate your home on your timeline and budget. Not only were her services phenomenal but her customer service was great. She was easy to communicate with by phone and email, and has checked in with us in the weeks following; providing additional resources and guidance. In addition, she gave great referrals. We were able to save thousands on custom window treatments thanks to her! I would encourage anyone looking for design help to use ‘Home At Last’. We’ve already recommended her to both family and friends.

We got a referral to Home At Last Décor from a friend. We contacted Christine to help us choose paint colors for our home. When she came in she walked with us from room to room and not only provided us with great paint color suggestions, she provided amazing ideas for furniture, window treatments, lighting and rugs. We had a wonderful experience working with her and would highly recommend her to everyone.
