If you're needing to resolve perplexing interior (or exterior!) design and decorating questions, you've definitely come to the right place as that's my specialty. I'm "Sam" Jernigan and I have over 20 years experience helping people just like you turn their decorating dilemmas into solutions and, more importantly, their house into a home they love.

My service is quite out-of-the-ordinary so I'm especially pleased to have this opportunity to explain the way I uniquely work with clients.

First, it's important to note that most decorators or designers are usually [in some fashion or another] commissioned salespeople. That's all well and good until you ask them for "advice." After all, what do you suppose their answer's predicated upon -- your best interest...OR...their desire/need to make a sale? Not to mention the fact that their "advice" is also usually limited to suggesting only the products their store (or studio) retails.

I like to say, I work for YOU, not "the store." In actuality, I serve as something of a consumer advocate in that I'm dedicated to saving you money wherever possible (including reinventing your current furnishings and accessories if desired) vs. maneuvering you into a given purchase as, again, that's simply not my orientation. Instead, making smart use of your re$ource$ accompanied by your delight in your new or renewed living space is my sole focus. (LEARN more about the unique cost-saving benefit of working with me regarding retail purchases you're planning.)

The quote underscores one of the many reasons husbands especially love my service with my emphasis on wise (and mutual!) spending decisions designed to s-t-r-e-t-c-h a family's decorating budget as well as best suit their overall lifestyle on a longterm basis.
