Spruce It Up
Spruce It Up! is the perfect program for those who have resisted consulting with an interior designer because they thought their job was too small, their budget was too modest, or a designer’s services would be too costly. Spruce It Up! offers a client the chance to find out how an interior designer works through an on-site design consultation and helps identify a design direction suited to that client’s needs. It is a chance to pick up some ideas to transform a tired interior space, to learn how to avoid costly mistakes, and to maximize the design potential of one’s home or office environment.
Spruce It Up! is a fundraiser for ASID NJ Chapter. ASID designers provide one- or two-hour consultations, with the checks written directly to the New Jersey Chapter of ASID. The chapter uses the funds to underwrite educational programs for its members, as well as to support its community service endeavors.
Spruce It Up! is an annual program, generally held in the spring. For 2012, dates are March 1-31. To reserve a consultation, e-mail us at spruceitup@njasid.org.
“My consultation was a very enjoyable experience. Our designer gave a complete assessment of my design dilemna, offered several options to solve it and followed through after with a selection of color options and materials. She was a pleasure to work with and I will probably contact her for some follow-up on my current project. “–R.S, Montclair, NJ
“My wife and I were hesitant to work with a designer, probably because we were concerned that a designer would not listen to us. This Spruce It Up program was a great way for us to try the experience. It was a pleasant surprise that the designer was so understanding of our concerns and questions. I thought we might be controlled by the process, but instead this designer made it clear that it was our goals, tastes and desires that directed her advice for us. The two-hour consultation was quite valuable and I would highly recommend this level of expertise from your ASID organization to others.”–FB, Monmouth, NJ
“I was at a standstill as to how to fix my room and unsure if it was too small of a project to involve a designer. After my meeting, and consulting with her, I now see I can include the help of a designer in my project, whether is for the whole project or just a portion.”–VG, Whippany, NJ
“Our designer was knowledgeable, professional and extremely helpful. He offered some wonderful ideas. My problem now is how to afford all I would like to do! I’m hoping I can engage him in the future. He was terrific and you can/should be proud to have him in your organization.”–DH, Wayne, NJ
