About Us
After 22 years of pure joy, helping Northern Virginia clients turn their houses into a "Home At Last'... I have finally retired in order to spend quality time & travel with my husband. I thank each and every homeowner with whom I have had the pleasure of working over the years. When you love what you do, it is not "work." That has been my experience since I started my own business in 2000. Many thanks for all the great reviews and referrals. I wish everyone many happy and healthy years ahead. -- with warm regards and fond memories....Christine

Christine is absolutely Amazing! We have used her multiple times over the past 10-15 years to help through several remodel/design projects in our home. She always brings a fresh perspective to each project and is able to work magic with paint, and colors, and furnishings. We have used her for large projects, encompassing multiple rooms/spaces, and also called on her for a quick consultation when just trying to freshen up a room. Our most recent project was a redesign for a kitchen, dining room, living room, and family room and we could not be more happy with the results.

Christine from Home at Last Decor has helped my husband and I with paint and decorating suggestions for our last three homes. Our most recent project was completed in June of this year and involved the entire home. Christine is extremely customer-focused and professional and her expert suggestions will take your space to a whole new level. Her detailed decor guide ensures that everything you discussed is covered and you have a plan to follow moving forward. She also makes herself available for follow-up questions which is very helpful. We have really enjoyed working with Christine and highly recommend her and Home at Last Decor. You won’t be disappointed!

Thank you Cindy. You always have beautiful homes and great taste In furnishings. It has been my pleasure to help you with paint color and finishing touches in each of them. I wish you many happy and healthy years in this most recent house. Warmest Regards, Christine
Christine exceeded all my expectations. My top priority was to repaint the entire new home, not made any easier due to unpacked artwork and furniture still on order. The palette she recommended is just right—beautiful tones of colors that work throughout.
Christine also had very specific ideas for furniture sizing and placement that helped a lot. I really appreciate how thorough and accessible she is.
Finally, her referrals for painting (AP Painting) and wood flooring (Claws) did excellent work.
Christine is terrific and I would highly recommend Home At Last Decor.

I highly recommend Christine to help you with your decorating needs. She is highly professional and organized. Christine gave me ideas that I would never have been able to do myself ( picking out the perfect paint colors and suggestions for home decor). I wish I could go higher than six stars!

Christine was extremely patient, creative, and cost conscientious while consulting with us in improving our interior design. She thoughtfully considered our existing furniture, artwork, flooring, and fixtures in selecting and recommending wall colors, area rugs, window dressings, kitchen countertops, and new fixtures. Her recommendations were truly central to minimizing costs by creatively using and placing our existing pieces. She provided links to for us to see her recommendations, with most providing discounted prices. She provided written detailed reports within 24 hours following each consultation and immediately responded to all inquiries. We are so pleased with the beautiful changes to our house and feel luck to have worked with Christine. We stay in touch with her, and she recently provided us recommendations for the exterior colors of our house. We highly recommend Christine.

Christine helped us update our home, and we needed it since we hadn't done anything to it in years. Her main focus was suggesting paint colors, and she is a genius! She really listened to what I wanted, saying frequently, "I want you to be happy with the choices." She advised us to paint our fireplace, and paint ceilings a different color than the walls, options I wouldn't have though of. We followed all her suggestions and are so glad we did. Christine connected us with AP Painting which is a great crew. She also offered suggestions for re-upholstery, window treatments and artwork. Her approach is so refreshing in that she worked with what we have rather than trying to replace everything. The Decor Guide was given to us the same day, with a specific plan for each room and wall. She was was quick to answer any questions as we moved along. I would highly recommend her to anyone starting a small or large project.

When I purchased by condo in December 2012 it needed a complete interior paint make-over. and did not know how to begin. I was clueless as to which colors to use so I did some research and was able to find Christine (Owner of Home At Last Decor) to work with. I have worked with Christine twice during the past 6.5 years and have been totally satisfied with her professional recommendations and clear printed instructions in the Decor Guide she provides following her brief (1 to 2 hours) consult. The guide makes it very clear, room by room, as to the paint color, manufacturer and specific type of paint she recommends. The Guide also provides additional information, such as to coordinating colors of furniture I might choose to use when decorating each room. The information she provided in January 2013 has been used whenever I was seeking new furniture or replacing vanities. After our first consult, I had her serve as the "final inspector" of the painting contractor. This worked out well, since the painters were then aware that it would not be me conducting the final inspection but a professional designer and color coordinator. I have received many compliments on the colors she recommended. I am now having to sell my condo and in do so I have replaced all the kitchen and vanity cabinets and recently asked her to return in order to provide guidance on coordinating colors. Beside the recommendations on new wall colors for the kitchen she also finalized the selection of a new flooring color/design of the laundry room, throw-pillows for the couch, lamps, seat cushions, and shower curtains. In her Decor Guide she even provided electronic links as to where I could purchase the new items at a very reasonable price. She also included in the guide from this last visit tips on showing my condo to prospective buyers.
Christine provides immediate and extremely valuable advise for the reasonable fee that she charges. It is definitely money well spent and I would definitely continue to work with her if I continued to stay in this area. If you are unsure about which paint or floor colors will work best for your home's interior I highly recommend her services. She definitely knows what she is doing and does not waste your valuable time when she is working with you. Although, the entire project of painting the interior and renovations of the kitchen and bath costs approx. $15,000 her fees for a few hours of her time and professional guidance was only $350 (for consults in 2013 and this month). There is no doubt in my mind that this amount was definitely money well-spent.

Hi Bob, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a long and detailed review. I have enjoyed helping you to decorate your condo in a way that you were able to enjoy it over the years and so that now it will bring you a swift and profitable sale. I wish you the best of luck in all your future locations. If you are ever back in this part of Virginia, it would be my pleasure to work with you again. Best Regards, Christine

We built a new house woth a very open concept and were overwhelmed with where to begin on paint colors. Christine came to the rescue and picked a beautiful palet of colors that fit our style and furnishings. In her initial consultation, she spent 2 hours with us, and shortly after leaving provided us with the most detailed report consisting of paint colors, measurements for rugs, lamps, etc., as well as specifics on furniture and accessory placement. It has made this novice feel like a pro and pur house look better than the model :).

Hi Gretchen! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing this review and adding photos too. You have done a wonderful job furnishing your new house. The paint colors just enhanced everything and pulled it all together. It was my pleasure helping you achieve the look you had in mind.. The "before" pic of the kitchen really shows the transformation. Warmest Regards.. Christine

I am pleased to recommend the artistic talent of Christine, owner of Home at Last Décor, for all home remodeling projects. My wife and I have sought her advice on 3 major home renovations and have been fully satisfied with her work and very proud to show off the final results to our friends and family. After listening to our ideas for each project and how we intended to use the space, Christine was able to describe her vision for the various components of the space. She described her idea for the placement of our current furniture and, in some cases, suggested a new piece of furniture; determined where additional lighting should be installed and suggested new lighting fixtures; and recommended colors of paint for walls, ceiling and trim, giving a full description by brand and identifying number. Within an hour or two of her visit, she emailed a written description of her recommendations along with the detailed product information and appropriate guidance for completing the project. We could not be happier with her interior design recommendations and the professional manner in which she conducted her business.
