They say that home is where the heart is, and the spaces in which you spend the most time eventually become part of who you are. I believe everyone deserves to be inspired by the spaces where they live. Contact me today and see what I can do for you.

"Kristie is very knowledgeable and great to work with. She is a very good listener and her attention to detail is excellent. I liked the way she shared her ideas without being overbearing or dismissive. Her follow up is very good. I was just a little unclear about the parameters related to her fee, i.e: how much follow up from me is included in terms of questions. I enjoyed meeting with her and definitely benefited from her expert counsel."

Welcome to Elevated Elegance Interiors where I strive to create the perfect marriage of vintage with contemporary. A trip to the furniture store to purchase a new set is never as exciting as sourcing quality vintage pieces to incorporate into your space. I have a passion for interlacing old with new and perhaps it's a matter of new window treatments and a reupholstered sofa to redoing an entire space with a mix of modern and vintage. Let's lacquer, reupholster and up-cycle whether it's your new, existing or sourced pieces, let's get creative and have some fun!

"Chrissy is an exceptional interior designer! I hired her for ideas to transform my living room, and she went above and beyond. She carefully listened to my preferences and worked within my budget, suggesting creative ideas I never would have considered. Her meticulous attention to detail and proactive communication with vendors were outstanding. The contractors she recommended were professional, immaculate, and delivered amazing results. I couldn’t be more thrilled with how everything turned out, and I will absolutely be using Chrissy’s services again in the future!"

Landscaping business locally owned and operated we feel invested in our clients and constantly strive for customer satisfaction. Call or message us to schedule an estimate today! Facebook: IG: forevergreen2019

"I hired these people to do my backyard and paver. They did an excellent job doing it. When something doesn’t look right to them, they fixed it for free! This is what I call a good service. The price was reasonable and affordable, it’s better than other deals I’ve seen. Their service goes beyond five-stars. If there was a higher option, I would give it ten-stars! The finished product looked, Clean, Beautiful, and they really put a lot of effort into my backyard. Now when I glance at my backyard, it looked much better than before. I would definitely recommend their service."

Building design services FAQs

Most municipalities require a building permit before you put up a pool house. Rules and fees vary widely depending on where you live and the local regulations in your area. Check with your local building department or general contractor early on in your pool house project, so permit costs and timelines don’t catch you off guard.

If you’re building a custom pool house, you can expect the entire process to take two to three months from the design phase to the end of construction, or even as much as a year for very large or complex pool houses. If you’re installing a prefabricated kit or shed, the process is much faster, averaging one to three days.

A pool house is generally sized between 100 square feet and 800 square feet, which means its dimensions directly reflect its intended functionality. A compact pool house, measuring 100 to 150 square feet, serves as an efficient storage or utility space, while a pool house of 300 square feet or more offers a comfortable room for changing, relaxation, and socializing. The size you choose depends on the intended use and design of your outdoor space, ensuring that the structure meets your lifestyle needs.

The common types of pool houses include guesthouses, standard pool houses, and sheds. A guesthouse is a small lodge adjacent to the primary home that provides overnight accommodations with essential amenities. A standard pool house is built near the pool to offer storage, changing facilities, and a relaxation zone. A shed is a simple structure designed for storing pool equipment and garden tools. Each type serves a distinct purpose and enhances your outdoor living experience.
