hey friend, 

get to know me

I'm Carrie Barker.

I'm a midwestern mama who designed my own custom home from the ground up, inside and out. I still LOVE my design choices 11+ years later ... and did I mention I built on budget? It's true. Now I teach others how to build WITHIN BUDGET and WITHOUT REGRETS.

Why E-Design is a Great Option

Do you need a little extra push when it comes to decorating your home? Do you want some guidance but don’t want to pay the high fees of a traditional interior designer to help you with your space? If you answered YES to these questions, then E-Design might be a great option for you!

why choose e-design

WHAT IS E-DESIGN?

  • E-Design is a virtual collaboration between an interior decorator or designer and the client.
  • You can work with any decorator/designer, regardless of your geographic location because all work is done via email, online, and an occasional phone conversation. This is especially beneficial if you do not have a local designer with a similar design aesthetic to what you want.
  • Through close collaboration with the client, the decorator/designer curates, creates, and proposes a design plan for the space. Typically there is an initial “rough draft” plan followed by revisions to ensure the client is in love with the final plan!

WHY CHOOSE E-DESIGN?

  • E-Design is a great option if you prefer a less expensive alternative to hiring a traditional Interior Designer. Many traditional designers charge $100+ per hour. An e-design plan can be completed at a fraction of this cost!
  • There is no pressure to implement the entire plan at once; the client can purchase items from the plan as she is able and wants to. This is great if you are on a budget and want to slowly buy items for your space.

YOU ARE AN IDEAL E-DESIGN CLIENT IF …

  • You want an affordable alternative to hiring a traditional designer.
  • You do not have a local designer or decorator with a similar design style.
  • You are simply looking for design ideas and are unsure if you want (or can afford) to implement the plan all at once.
  • You are a busy woman who would love help in reaching your vision for your home design.
  • You are comfortable communicating via email and purchasing products online.

I designed my own custom home from the ground up, inside and out. A home that is cozy, comfy, laid out perfectly for the way my family lives, and makes us happy every single day. Oh, and did I mention I did this all without blowing the budget?! 

Yep, it’s true. I’ve been there, done that, and actually lived through it … and you will too. Pinkie promise!
