This airy apartment is one our latest collaborations. The owners, Paige and Rick from the USA, are both interior designers, so after purchasing this beautiful apartment in the Carre D’Or district, they wanted to renovate it into another of their layered and charming spaces.
They had a contractor and a construction project manager already, but accomplishing this detailed project from across the sea, with limited French language skills, was daunting for them.
We were their eyes and ears and hands in France: organizing internet and power
installations, setting up automated billings, organizing and overseeing the reception of
deliveries, tracking down missing items and advocating for them with customer service
representatives. We got them in touch with a handyman for minor modifications, furniture assembly and the hanging of art and heavy objects on plaster walls. We helped them communicate with the building management, and even had a few groceries on the ready when they arrived.
It was beautiful and rewarding teamwork, filled with challenges small and large. There were times we thought we would never complete the project, but we kept each other in good spirits and we think you will agree, it turned out great! Now we are looking forward to our next project together.
