What makes The Whiskey Porch Services unique?
So, why hire The Whiskey Porch??
Why hire us, instead of just going direct to a contractor, or builder, or landscaping company or nursery?
Or even just using the "free" design services at various large retailers?
Or instead of hiring an architect?

Consulting Services Descriptions:
We help you get started on your Home & Garden journey or provide support to you along the way on a larger project. This is where we can help you address some larger concepts in a fairly limited amount of time with one or more face to face discussions. Not any studio or execution time on our part, generally speaking. |
Consulting Services are also a good option for those situations where you would prefer to proceed one step at a time, rather than jump into a bigger, more complex design project.
General design & Remodel Questions
If you've got lots of great ideas, or just lots of general questions, about your home that you need some guidance on, you've come to the right place.
This can apply to your interior, exterior, landscapes and gardens. We specialize in integrating your interiors with your landscape.
We want to make it accessible for you to get the juices flowing and discuss a few directional ideas or possibilities. Sometimes that's all you need to get the ball rolling on your own, for those DIY-ers out there. And often it's a good way to flesh out some next steps and get professional input on a bigger project for the future, whether you bring us back to help you or not.
Service Package Options: Design Consult, Concept Workplan, or Micro Design Sessions. These start @ $500.

Finding the perfect Bungalow - what style, which neighborhood, what size, what features, just to get started. We can work with you before, during, or after a property search with a realtor. We don't profit from home sales in any way at all, except that we might be able to help you find a gem in the rough and then work with you afterwards to design the renovation or the gardens. Our goal here is to help you make a smart decision and help provide some insight into possible solutions or ideas to make the property work for you.
You want us by your side helping you to evaluate the aesthetic and practical questions rather than just a real estate agent who is motivated to make the sale and then move on.

Trends will most likely be outdated before you finish your project. Color is emotional & should be connected to your place on earth. We can do a color analysis on site, using technology and some fun tools to help identify your underlying colors and define what you're new dream palette should be. You'll end up with a packet of swatches for your neutrals and your accents. We can address exterior house colors, interiors, furniture, and the garden spaces. This is a great place to start before getting into a major overhaul of your spaces because it will give you a core framework to help you make more confident decisions along the way.

If you are planning to get your property appraised, or sell it, or if you are hosting a special event, you want to ensure that it appeals to the right people, and as many of them as possible.
Home staging is prepping your home by making it more appealing - bigger, cleaner, brighter, and more inviting. Less personal, but not impersonal. This process can involve decluttering, decorating, shifting and eliminating furnishings, and dressing it up. Sometimes, it might involve repainting here and there. Sometimes, it might mean making some repairs.
We can help you put together a plan with recommendations and priorities.

Design Services Descriptions:
We can help you turn that Bungalow into the perfect home for you. Through our Design Services we get down and dirty into the details. After the initial face to face meeting(s) we generally spend quite a bit of time in our studio drafting up documents, drawings, sketches, layouts and delivering those to you for you to review, update, approve, and execute. |
Of course, we are always available to help provide that ongoing consult support during the execution as well.
Whether you want a basic design plan to work from on your own, or you want a full floorplan layout, we can get you to your happy place. Design is never easy & trends are usually a poor solution. If you're not sure what services you need, tell us about your goals & let's consider your options to get there: let's chat.
Wholesale changes or huge additions are typically not required to solve challenges... creativity and attention to detail can often make it a gem. It's almost never about sheer square footage but more about thoughtful tweaks and the flow of the space(s) and practical details that make a space functional efficiently AND be gorgeous at the same time. It's always about creating a connection between the interior and the views and exterior spaces. Window and door placement is crucial and depends on seasonal patterns of sun and shade in your very specific setting.
While we are not architects, we have three decades of experience remaking homes and spaces from basic, and sometimes awful, to so amazing that strangers stop daily and comment on how much they love the property. Seriously!
Once a design schematic is sketched and detailed floor plan laid out, we can help you take it to the next level to hire either an architect, where necessary, or a draftsperson who can get technical drawings put together for contractor and city permit submittals.
This design service can apply to your entire home, or just a room or portion of the home. Some examples of the types of projects we excel at:
Service Package Options: Basic, Premium, Concierge, Construction Plans, Project Management Support. These start @ $4,500.

A yard or garden should be integral to your home space & just as personal. Massive rows & beds ~ not required. It's about creating the spaces and outdoor rooms that meet your needs and wishes and uses your particular terrain and setting to it's fullest advantage.
Our gardens and landscapes have been a magnet to friends, neighbors, and random strollers (human and wildlife) for many, many decades. We get people daily who enjoy the sights and sounds, and usually stop long enough to comment on how magical these spaces are. It's true! I've been designing and relishing in gardens since I was very young and never tire of the creative enjoyment.
Once a design schematic is sketched and a detailed layout is completed, we can help you take it from there to find and hire the right contractors to make it a reality. We know TONS of folks in town and it's hard to know who is the best choice for each project or even each phase of the project without lots of experience. And, if permits are required, we can help you find the right person to put together those technical drawings.

lighting design
Often the most overlooked but biggest impact change you can make in your space, whether it's indoors or out, is to overhaul your lighting. It's not just the look and style of the fixtures, but where they are located, how many of them, how they react with the wall and space colors, and the quality of the light in the bulb itself. Crazy, I know. But just a small tweak in one or two light fixtures can often completely change a space and the feeling you have when spending time in it. And let's not even talk about how many different types of bulbs there are now.
Service Package Options: Design Consult, Concept Workplan, or Micro Design Sessions. These start @ $500. Also included in the Premium and Concierge Design Packages.
