Where Your Story Lives
The Magic of Your Home is the Story it Tells
Inside Job is a San Diego–based decorating and consulting studio, helping you create spaces that reflect your style, your story.
Together, we’ll reimagine your space—deciding what still works, thoughtfully letting go of what doesn’t. By reusing and redecorating, we design spaces that feel renewed yet familiar.
We believe decorating truly is an inside job. Your home is your personal setting, where how things feel is just as important as how they look. More often than not, it’s the small, meaningful touches that make a space feel special, memorable.
What We Do
Refresh - Repurpose
Refresh your space using items you already own. We edit, rearrange, and style your existing furniture and décor—discovering new uses for favorite pieces, moving them into different rooms, or reframing them with a fresh perspective.
✔ Perfect for: Any room ready for a refresh. Stagings for home sale.
Styling & Layering
Details Make the Difference
The final touches elevate a space from simple to striking. Through layered textures, art, little treasures and accessories, balanced with thoughtful lighting (the magic trick of all rooms!) , we bring warmth, personality, and a sense of completion to every room. (CID discounts applied where available.)
✔ Perfect for: Rooms that need an upgrade, staging for sale, shelf styling, art walls, finishing touches, and soft goods from rugs to pillows and throws.
Consultation Session
For the DIY decorator who just needs a nudge in the right direction.
We’ll walk your space (virtually or in person), listen to your goals, and give you actionable ideas, layout suggestions, sourcing tips, and style strategies—so you can confidently move forward on your own.
✔ Perfect for: Self-starters, creative clients, new homeowners
Special Occasion Styling
Seasonal. Occasional. Exceptional.
Need a touch of magic for a holiday gathering, a guest stay, or a special celebration?
We style your space with intention and ease—bringing warmth and beauty without turning your home upside down.
✔ Perfect for: Holiday decorating, seasonal refreshes, welcoming company.
Project Oversight
Creative oversight and schedule support ensure your project unfolds with clarity, continuity, and calm.
When contractors or multiple vendors are involved, we coordinate the details—keeping everything aligned with your vision, so the process feels seamless.
✔ Perfect for: Clients who want results without the stress of managing moving parts.
Getting Started
No two homes - or projects - are the same. That’s why pricing depends entirely on your goals and scope.
Every project begins with a discovery call -we’ll talk about your space, your style, and your priorities. Then, we’ll tailor a proposal that fits your vision, and your budget.
Maybe you’re looking for a quick styling session to bring a room to life, or perhaps you’re ready for a full refresh from top to bottom. If you’re unsure where to start, we’ll talk it through during your consultation and outline the best options for your needs.
After your initial discovery call, we’ll schedule a 60-minute in-person consultation ($150), applied toward your project should we move forward together.
Reimagining Begins With What’s Already Yours
Every act of reimagning — editing, placement, and continuity—reveals the story only your space can tell.
-
Together, we’ll evaluate your space learning what piece, or pieces, you would like to build the space around. Then, take inventory - what stays, what goes. Reimagining what can be repurposed, and layering in select details to create a polished, refreshed whole.
-
Furniture and décor find new purpose when placed in fresh settings.
We focus on what matters most to you—the treasures of your space, the pieces you love—and build from there.
The Four R’s:
Reimagine
Rearrange
Reposition
and sometimes - Recover
Combined, these steps can reveal something entirely new.
-
From rethinking layouts to sourcing the perfect accents, every choice is made with intention—creating a space that feels refreshed, revitalized, and distinctly yours.
Our process removes the overwhelm from decorating, proving that a transformation doesn’t alway require starting from scratch.
A Love Letter to the Art of Home
Inside Job is more than just a decorating business—it’s the next chapter in a lifelong love affair with decorating. On my birthday last year, I decided to turn that passion into my career: one that celebrates the art of home.
Decorating is part of my DNA. As a child, I was forever rearranging my bedroom; as an adult, whenever I want to feel inspired—or simply have fun—I decorate. Whether it’s refreshing my own space or helping friends and family bring their homes to life, design has always been my language.
My mom, Chick—the original decorator and our family’s creative beacon—set the tone early. Even at 86, her home remains so beautifully styled that the building’s management showcases it to prospective buyers. She’s proof that a well-loved home never goes out of style.
While Inside Job is a new venture, it’s the culmination of my years spent practicing the art of heart and home. My mission is simple: to make decorating joyful, personal, and approachable—an experience that reflects who you are and how you live.
Let’s reimagine your space together.
