Whether it is for<br \/>\na quick color consultation, a large remodel, or<br \/>\nbuilding a new home, a decorator is experienced<br \/>\nin all aspects of home design, saving the client from<br \/>\ncostly mistakes. For example, buying furniture<br \/>\nthat is too big or choosing a color for the walls that<br \/>\ndoesn&#8217;t work. We are here to give you fresh ideas,<br \/>\nsuggest current trends or classic styles and the resources<br \/>\na client would not otherwise be aware of.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The decorators at Saratoga Signature Interiors<br \/>\nin Saratoga Springs agree. &#8220;Before you make a<br \/>\nmistake,&#8221; is the time to see a professional, they<br \/>\nadvise. &#8220;A professional designer should be there to<br \/>\nassist you even if you are just starting the thoughts<br \/>\nof a decoration project. We like to work with the<br \/>\nclient from the very beginning. It is a lot easier and<br \/>\nless expensive to correct a mistake on paper than<br \/>\nafter it has been ordered or built.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lynn Ricci of Classic Interiors in Clifton Park<br \/>\nemphasized that &#8220;with new construction, it is really<br \/>\nimportant to have a designer to organize and pull<br \/>\nit all together and find the right products.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She also recommends spending a few hours<br \/>\nwith a decorator before redecorating a room.<br \/>\n&#8220;In the end, you often can save money through<br \/>\ndiscounts.&#8221; Choosing the wrong paint color, for<br \/>\nexample, can be very costly, especially if you are<br \/>\nworking with a professional painter.<\/p>\n<p>Ricci has been in business for 28 years. She has<br \/>\na staff of four designers and four craftspersons who<br \/>\nmake draperies and other window treatments,<br \/>\nbedding, and some custom furniture.<\/p>\n<p>Saratoga Signature Design also sells furniture.<br \/>\n&#8220;We sell it off the floor or on order,&#8221; said Dan Czech,<br \/>\none of the three decorators with the company. The other two are Nancy Smith and her son, Colby<br \/>\nSmith, who &#8220;grew up in the business,&#8221; according<br \/>\nto Czech.<\/p>\n<p>All three have been there since the beginning.<br \/>\nThe business is starting its 22nd year. Much of their<br \/>\nwork is with people who are remodeling, including<br \/>\npeople who are downsizing and need advice about<br \/>\nwhat to keep, what to repair, and what to replace.<\/p>\n<p>Dan and Colby also do the deliveries, &#8220;so, a<br \/>\ndecorator comes with your order,&#8221; Czech added.<\/p>\n<p>Czech has a a degree in interior design from<br \/>\nthe Parsons School of Design in New York City.<br \/>\nNancy got her degree in California and worked out<br \/>\nthere for the Ethan Allen and Stickley furniture<br \/>\ncompanies. She came east when Stickley opened<br \/>\nan Albany store. Her son mostly learned on the job.<\/p>\n<p>Ricci, of Classic Interiors, studied accounting<br \/>\nand worked in that field for a time. One of her<br \/>\nclients was her mother, &#8220;a great seamstress,&#8221; who<br \/>\nmade draperies, bedding, and the like and did<br \/>\nreupholstering. Soon, Ricci found her mother&#8217;s<br \/>\nbusiness more interesting than her own and went<br \/>\nthrough a certification program with the Interior<br \/>\nDesign Society.<\/p>\n<p>Chmura is also a relatively old hand at the business.<br \/>\nShe is a sole practitioner whose business is 14<br \/>\nyears old. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine<br \/>\nArts degree from SUNY at Albany and is certified by<br \/>\nthe Interior Arrangement and Design Association<br \/>\nand the Realty Enhancement Association.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I tell my clients that they are the decision<br \/>\nmakers,&#8221; Chmura sums up, &#8220;but I am here to organize<br \/>\ntheir plan, offer new ideas and make sure<br \/>\nthe finished product is professional. At the end of<br \/>\nthe day, it is my client who will be living with our<br \/>\nchoices and my goal is for them to absolutely love<br \/>\ntheir surroundings. I am a sole proprietor so I do<br \/>\nnot represent any particular furniture, paint or<br \/>\naccessory lines. I work with my client&#8217;s budget so<br \/>\nI will shop the businesses that fit into that budget.<br \/>\nI have a workroom that does all my window applications<br \/>\nalong with a few contractors to carry<br \/>\nout my ideas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Photo Courtesy A Perfect Placement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The design of this kitchen is the work designed by Joanne Hans Chmura of A Perfect Placement in Mechanicville, who has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from SUNY Albany.
