How it works

Watch one room turn into a plan.

Day 1

2 days

You send the room

Photographs from four corners and rough measurements. We draw the shell.

Day 3

5 days

It goes to scale

Eighteen four by twelve six, checked against your photographs before anything is placed.

Day 8

5 days

Everything is placed

Sofa, table, chair, shelving, rug. Two rounds of revisions move whatever you want moved.

Day 14

the pack

Every piece numbered

The keys match the shopping list line for line, so you buy in the order the room needs.

The drawing above is the Alberta Street loft at each of its four states. You receive all four, plus elevations, in one PDF.

Anything with cabinetry to specify.

Measure the longest wall and the one at right angles to it — that decides the price, and nothing else does. Second room in the same order takes 15% off. Nothing is billed hourly, and no package includes the furniture: you buy direct from the list, at the price we found it.

The list is the deliverable. Here is a real one.

Alberta Street loft · living room · as built

01

At the sofa

“I had measured this wall four times and still could not decide where it went. The plan arrived on day nine and I ordered everything on my lunch break.”

Marguerite · $4,180 · 11 days

02

At the table

“We used the schedule to get three quotes. The cabinetmaker said it was the clearest brief he had been handed all year.”

Devon & Ruth · $9,600 · 18 days

03

At the shelving

“Two revisions was exactly right. I swapped the rug, kept my grandmother’s chair, and the list rebalanced itself around it.”

Priya · $2,310 · 12 days

From the intake questionnaire

The five boxes everyone fills in first.

Form A · Before you send a room

Rev. 04 · 2026

Q.01 — Measurements

What if I measure something wrong?

Send a photograph of the tape against the wall. The plan is redrawn at no cost until the day the pack ships.

Q.02 — The list

Do I have to buy everything on it?

No. Every line carries an alternate at a lower price, and the plan names the four pieces that hold the room together if you buy nothing else.

Q.03 — Stock

What happens if a piece sells out?

Links stay live for 90 days and we watch them. Email us and a replacement at the same price comes back within two working days.

Q.04 — What you own

Will it work with my own furniture?

That is what this form is for. The Alberta Street loft kept four pieces, including the sofa the plan was built around.

Q.05 — Visits

Do you ever come to the house?

Not for a room package — that is what keeps it at $795, and it is why we work the same way in Portland as in Tucson. Portland clients can book a two-hour walkthrough separately, billed on its own.
