Our Mission
Our mission is to make the design & decorating proceed seamless. To exceed client expectations, transforming each space into a stylish, timeless and more functional home.
Anne is knowledgeable in all aspects of the design process, from the initial design process to managing trades. Known for her attention to detail and outstanding customer service, she strives to make the renovation process seamless and less stressful for clients. Her list of contractors, trades, vendors and manufacturers allows her to source quality and professional services tailored to each individual project.
Anne’s background in the corporate world helped her develop strong project management skills necessary to run and oversee renovations. Her streamlined process, based on years of experience helps make projects run smoothly and efficiently.
Our Process & Communications
Projects usually begin with an on-site consultation. This is where we discuss the scope of work, expectations and ideas. The cost of the consultation is $350. Following the consultation and once the scope of work and budget is approved, we ask that you sign our letter of agreement outlining terms of service and payment required for the design to initiate the project.
After a few weeks of research and sourcing we provide a design concept based on your project’s scope of work. The hourly rate for design time is $125. Implementation involves ordering and tracking of all furniture, lighting, accessories and scheduling of trades.
When a renovation is involved and demolition is complete, a budget and work order reviews are done based on findings during the demolition. At this stage we may have to recommend upgrades to bring electrical, plumbing, insulation and structural issues up to code.
ADF Interiors’ Journey

“I had a consultation with Anne and knew immediately that we could work together. Above and all, Anne is honest and professional. She was happy to work with pieces we had already purchased and built on that. She listened to our suggestions and made our home cozy and us! All the trades she used, cabinet makers, painters, draperies were reliable, clean and easy to work with. It was a pleasure to work with Anne.”
