FAQ
A: MCLEAN COUNTY - Bloomington-Normal, Peoria, Champaign + surrounding cities. Travel fee may apply beyond. WITH Virtual E-Design we’re able to serve coast to coast.
A: Ideally as soon as possible. For renovations + new builds it’s best to be involved from the beginning to assist design and construction but not necessary. The sooner we’re involved the more we’re able to serve you in handling all phases and aspects of the project. Virtual design we’re able to hop in to the project when you’re ready!
A: Communication primarily takes place via email. New builds + Renovations also require scheduled phone calls + site visits/meetings as well. Because we value and respect your time like our own we‘re out of our inbox on evenings + weekends. We’re in contact throughout the project whether full service design or virtual E-Design.
A: Of course we try to include any special and complimentary pieces to the design. We do however, keep the overall agreed upon design in mind for furnishings + decor selections to get the end result you’re hoping for therefore, we craft a unique and tailored design to you and your space with mostly new pieces.
A: Fill out our design questionnaire for us to learn more about you and your project goals. You’ll receive an email response with 2 business days with how we can work together. Then, we’ll schedule a paid Discovery Call through Google Meet to review project ideas, aesthetic, goals, and budget. Afterwards, you’ll receive a detailed project proposal including design investment, project details, and more for you to review. Once agreed upon, with contract and design installment fees, we’ll begin your project designs!
I never could have chosen everything on my own and had it come together like this. It feels like us and feels like our home. Hillary was able to create this vision, handled it all,
and completely blew us away.
Our renovation has been seamless and easy on us because of Hillary’s help. The million decisions and designs she handled so effortlessly. I can’t recommend her enough!
Hillary did an amazing job creating our designs. I knew what I liked but I had no idea how to put any of this together. We wanted a cohesive home with an open floor plan for hosting. Hillary listened to our wants and needs, presented us with the most beautiful, inviting, and comfortable designs. She’s so organized, I loved how everything was put together and presented to us. This process was so easy all thanks to Hillary for handling our project. She made it feel like us, so personal and comfortable but looks put together. We’re so thankful and couldn’t recommend Grace Oaks Designs more if you’re renovating or building!
Hillary took the guesswork out of this whole process and cared for us through each phase and step. It didn't go unnoticed or unappreciated. I know we couldn't have created anything like this on our own. It's been a dream to work with Hillary on our renovation, straightforward and simple.
Hillary is so awesome to work with. I had a vision for my new remodel but was unsure how to achieve the look that I was envisioning. I hired Hillary to help me create that vision and it is spot on!!! I wanted a comfy, homey, relaxing area and it is absolutely all of the above. I gave her my vision and she ran with it. She presented us ideas to choose from, and it all looks amazing together. We love our space and get compliments all the time on how cozy it is. I would use Hillary again in every room of my home. She has great ideas and is so easy and helpful to work with. Thank you for helping me create my dream living room.
Hillary has been so great to work with I absolutely love the E-design she created for our living room. She stayed focused on what we wanted and needed which is why I love working with her, and for her impeccable style and ability to work within our budget. This was our second project and definitely not our last with her!
