Firstly I’m a designer but I really considered my self a colorist as well.  Color.. whether it is soft beautiful whites flowing into one room after another or dark reds and greens in an old world parlor, all the colors really do have to this wonder sense of being with one another.  It’s one of the charms of decor.

What is the room you would like to see designed for you? What are your colors?  How do you want to live in that room or area? What will you do there? How many would you need sitting for? Are there any windows to consider?

Presentations of fabric, paint color, illustrations, photos, and more to create a clear vision of your gorgeous new room

Consultations of style, colors, purchase, budgets.

…not to mention that it might not even be in style any more. With often-simple alterations, I can help make your clothes fit better, or change the look completely! Services include mending, hemming, reshaping, and more!

Are they too big, too small, too this or too that? Do you need a loving yet objective opinion? I will come to your home, have you try on various items and outfits, and tell you what to keep, what to alter, what to toss, and how to wear items in ways you might not have considered.

 The keepers are always that classic piece and then you start building a wardrobe from there. The things that I say “toss”, I’m really suggestion giving them away to some other person in need of this type of garment. It’s is a kind gester and you can right this donation off on your yearly taxes.

 I also accompany you on shopping trips!  We will discuss how to shop for good quality items at any shop and any price point. I can always spot a good piece and show you what to look for and how to put new looks together.

Alterations are done in house here at Gorra’s by Susan Stewart.

Can I help you?
