Time to Plan Summer Home Projects in Wellington, FL
Summer is time for warm weather, vacations, and travel. And it’s also a wonderful time for my seasonal clients to embark on upgrades to their winter homes. I am here in Wellington during the summer and when my clients are away, I am able to get projects done quickly and efficiently without disturbing their daily routine. There is nothing quite like leaving an old feature behind and returning to a wonderful new design!
Popular Summertime Projects:
- New Flooring
- Countertops
- Painting
- Wallpapering
- Kitchen & Bath Renovations
- New Furniture
It’s also a great time to purchase new furnishings for your Florida home so they can installed before you return in the Fall. If you wait until Season to order furniture and draperies, sometimes they won’t arrive in time for you to enjoy them so it’s a good idea to plan ahead. I can also arrange for your old furnishings to be consigned or donated to keep things moving along.
I have worked with many clients remotely via email and phone and it’s a seamless process. Once the project has been planned and a timeline determined, I keep you informed with email updates that include photos and notes. Not only does it save you the headache of living with the mess but it’s fun to return to a home that has been magically transformed!
So if you are thinking it’s time to renovate or redecorate and love the idea of a trustworthy expert managing the process, just give me a call. I work all around Wellington and Palm Beach….The Polo Club, The Equestrian Club, the Aero Club…wherever you are, I am here to help!

The Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida
If you don’t live in Wellington, Florida your might be curious about why so many people travel here each winter with their horses in tow. Wellington is not your typical snowbird haven, it’s also home to the Winter Equestrian Festival which hosts thousands of people and horses each year. (Approximately 2,800 riders and 5,800 horses!) People travel from around the world with horses for a series of competitions that run from January until April. The riders range from children and amateurs up to world class and Olympic level. And let me tell you, it’s thrilling to see a majestic horse and athletic rider fly over 6′ jumps. It’s difficult to imagine unless you have seen it first hand, so here’s a great video from YouTube that gives you a taste.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with many equestrians which include polo players, jumpers and dressage riders. After a long day at the barn, they enjoy coming home to beautiful comfortable home and I am happy to help. So whether you are here for the Wellington Equestrian Festival or you like play golf, tennis or just soak up the sun, this is a great place to be for the Winter!
