Before and After: Interior Design Transformations


Transforming your space through sensory interior design is a process; we work at a pace that is comfortable for you. Even though it can take months to arrive at a complete transformation, we often make profound changes during our first meeting.
For example, when I arrived at an interior design client’s home in Philadelphia for our preliminary interview, her living room looked like this:

Our preliminary interior design interview is simply for getting an idea of what you love, what you need, and how we will work together. But after a short time, I suggested we shift a few things around. By the time we were done, her living room looked like this:

Just changing the layout–moving an area rug, expanding the footprint, and swapping couches gave her a feeling of expansion and connection in her space that she hadn’t achieved before.
We continued to make changes over the next few weeks, and her interior design transformation is ongoing. But she felt like her living room was an entirely new place after our very first meeting.
When we embark upon an Eccentric Genius Habitat Intervention, we don’t try to change you. You are perfect the way you are. You deserve a space that tells you so.

The Eccentric Genius Habitat Intervention
Your space, your nervous system.
Most of us were never taught how our bodies actually experience a room–the light, the sound, the layout, the smell–and what happens when those things work against us instead of for us.
This free seven-day course is a gentle introduction to sensory design. Each day brings one exercise–noticing what you feel, photographing what you’ve been editing out, dreaming about what you actually want. The exercises are all optional, and you can go as deep as you like.
By the end, you’ll understand more about why certain rooms drain you, what your body knows about your home, and how to start shifting without stressing out.
