Design Services
Renovating an old house takes more than inspiration.
It starts with getting the layout and design right - before construction begins.
I help homeowners rework their floor plans and bring their ideas to life through 3D renderings—so they can move into construction with clarity and confidence, without losing the character of their home.
And I understand that character better than most. I don't flip houses — I restore them. For more than 25 years — first as a hobby, then part-time, and for the last decade full-time — I have managed 67 renovations including 29 full house renovations, reworking floor plans, directing contractors, and preserving the details that make old houses worth saving. My goal is always the same: modern comfort without losing the character that made you fall in love with the house in the first place.
Reworked Floor Plan
A strategic layout redesign that transforms how your home functions—and feels—
before construction begins.
This isn’t just a floor plan. It’s a collaborative, high-touch process that ensures your space flows perfectly, supports your lifestyle, and avoids costly mistakes. You’ll explore multiple layouts, refine your chosen plan with unlimited edits over two weeks, and see it come to life with 3D visualization. By the time construction starts, you’ll have confidence, clarity, and a plan that works in the real world.
What's Included:
- One 30-minute consultation to review your existing layout and renovation goals
- Two+ strategic floor plan concepts to choose from, tailored to your priorities
- Unlimited revisions to your selected layout within a two-week period via email
- One 60-minute live editing session to finalize key decisions
- Before-and-after dimensioned floor plans
- Final revised layout prepared for contractor pricing
- Cabinet layouts and wall elevations (when applicable)
- 3-D rendering gallery of the approved design
- Recorded virtual walkthrough of the space
Important Notes

- Final measurements, structural modifications, and construction details must be verified by your contractor or licensed professional.

We had a general idea of what we wanted for our kitchen renovation but no idea how to go about any of it. Heather walked through our old kitchen and asked us specifics about our vision, budget, and time frame. She was honest about things she didn’t think would work and helped us find solutions quickly and that stuck with our original idea. She sent an original rendering but we realized what we thought we wanted didn’t look quite right, she was happy to rework the rendering and sent us several options for layout.
“It was a seamless process and we appreciated her patience in working with us to find the best fit for our space. ”
My husband and I had very different design ideas but she was able to use elements that were important to each of us and it never felt like a compromise. We were always in constant communication and felt like she did everything she could to fit our vision. Overall we loved working with Heather and felt like she had our back during the entire process.

Our kitchen needed a gut-to-the-studs redesign and remodel, and I knew Heather was the person to do it.
“Preserving the character of our 1910 farmhouse-style home was important to us, but I also need a kitchen that functions as a true workspace. ”
When the space presented a major challenge to my double ovens, I really thought I was going to have to give them up. But Heather knew how important that feature was, and she designed a beautiful floorplan that will give me the kitchen workspace of my dreams that fits in with the historic character of our home.
