What if all the pieces of decorating these rooms were put together for you by a professional Interior Decorator, and all you need to do is follow the step-by-step process at your own pace and on budget?!

What is Mail Order Decorator?

Mail Order Decorator is a great way to hire an Interior Decorator if you are on a budget but still want great style, want to decorate in stages – one room at a time at your own pace. It is a do-it-yourselfer’s option for great design.

We will give you everything you need to know to create a stunning result, including a furniture plan, fabric and paint samples, a shopping list, and thorough instructions for turning your dream interior into a reality.
How Does Mail Order Decorator Work?
Mail Order Decorator works very much like regular design projects done by Casa Vilora Interiors except for a few key things – Everything happens via mail and email instead of face-to-face. All selections for Mail Order Decorator projects are available online or locally, as opposed to the custom and trade-only options used for our full-service design clients. We rely on digital photographs and precise measurements of the space that you will provide. We never actually visit your home, so fret not if you live outside of the Houston area.
What is the Mail Order Decorator design process?
  • Once you sign on as a MOD client, we will provide you with everything you need in order to send us precise measurements and digital photographs of the space. This will ensure that our finished design is completely personalized for your space
  • We will also have you fill out our MOD client profile so we know all about you. The more we know about your likes and dislikes, the better we are able to create a design that represents your unique personality and style.
  • Once we have all of this information we set to work on your project. Then in 6 to 8 weeks, you will receive a personalized plan for creating a Casa Vilora Interiors inspired interior.

What You Can Expect To Receive

  1. A gorgeous reference book that includes a floor-plan of your room, furniture placement drawn to scale, selections for furniture and accessories, sketches and elevations (per project) of important details for your space, an organized shopping guide complete with pricing, and thorough instructions on how to implement your design. This handy book will fit perfectly in your bag if you go shopping and want to take your design plan with you!
  2. A samples packet with the paint, fabrics, and wallcoverings that we have selected for your project.
  3. A beautiful box to keep your design organized. It will hold your MOD reference book and it’s the perfect place to keep receipts and other information you gather while implementing your design

Are You Ready To Get Started?

  • Once we receive your payment, we will get the process started to your  customized Mail Order Decorator room
  • We then ask you to forward digital photos of the space or spaces that we will be working on as well as some exterior photos of your home, so that we fully understand the architectural style with which we are working.
  • Next, we will need accurate measurements of the space we are designing. Fortunately, we have a step-by-step guide for both measuring and photographing your space to ensure we have just what we need to get started.
  • We will also need an idea of what you love and the feel you want to achieve in your space. We gain insight for this through a design questionnaire and inspiration photos that you collect from magazines, blogs and other sources. These images also need to be sent via email. We are happy to help you with all aspects of this step, too. So don’t worry if you aren’t tech savvy. We will make this process simple and fun for you! :-)

Prices are based on the average level of difficulty per room type. It’s up to you whether you start with one room or several.

What Dad Needs Is A Man Cave!

How do you buy a gift for the guy who has everything?

With Father’s Day just a couple of days away, many are still trying to find that perfect gift to show dad how much they truly care. Dads are really hard to buy for, but don’t lose hope, I am here to help! :-)

Here’s what NOT to get dad this year:

no-socks

no-tie

Well, I guess underwear is ok if your dad is David Beckham ;-)

All kidding aside, the question still remains: What do I get dad for Father’s Day?

Well, if you can afford it, I’m sure your dad would appreciate that sports car he had to forego to send you to college.

Ferrari

Or that luxury timepiece he has been dreaming of

Rolex

But what if you could get dad something that would really enhance his life – a haven from his busy lifestyle – a place where he could “get-away” right at home. How about a man cave for dad? That would be THE perfect gift for dad, right? Maybe, even for yourself? :-)

Ok maybe now you’re wondering where the space would come from to create the perfect man cave for dad. Is there a spare room in the home that is not being used to its full potential? Is there a basement or attic? Does dad already have a den or study that he spends a lot of time in anyway? Or maybe even the garage? A man cave is simply a male sanctuary where “guys can do as they please” without fear of upsetting any female sensibility about the home’s decor or design. It can be anywhere in the home really: A specially equipped garage, spare bedroom, media room, den, basement, attic, shed or tool room. It’s the function that matters.

According to psychiatrists it’s important for a man to have a place he can call his own and a place to retreat to. It can be a refuge from stressful surroundings and very beneficial to marriages. Let’ face it…..the rest of the house belongs to the women :-) The main purposes for a man cave include: A place for a man to be alone, or be away from the women in his life. A place where he can indulge in his hobbies, and hang out with male friends. It is, loosely, a male-only space to retreat to – maybe to watch sports or play video games, or just work without interruptions. Whatever the reason, what dad really needs is a man cave!

Now that we have identified the perfect reason and perfect space to treat dad to his own retreat, time to call Casa Vilora Interiors to “trick” out dad’s man cave. You can start by giving dad a Casa Vilora Interiors gift certificate on Father’s Day, and when dad calls to schedule his consultation, I will take care of every tiny detail to make sure his “man cave” is perfect for his wants and needs.

Is your dad into sports, cars, playing pool, wine tasting, or reading? Whatever it is, I can create the perfect at home get-away.

Here are some great examples from various online sources to inspire you….and dad.
