If you’re about to renovate and you’re terrified you’ll spend the money and still hate the result — you’re in the right place.
I teach homeowners how to build a clear plan before they choose finishes or hire trades, so every decision makes sense and your budget doesn’t spiral.

I’m Gabriella (accredited interior designer + project manager). New videos weekly — witty, practical, and built for real life.

Overwhelmed by nursery design? Been there, mama! That’s why I created How to Design Your Baby Nursery, a limited-series podcast that takes you step-by-step from Pinterest overload to a nursery that’s functional, safe, and totally swoon-worthy. Here’s what you’ll learn in each episode:

Episode 1: Nail down the real priorities with a clear plan so you don’t end up with buyer’s remorse or a space that doesn’t work.

Episode 2: Get hands-on and learn how to measure and sketch your room to scale—because nothing’s worse than realizing your dream crib doesn’t fit.

Episode 3: Discover how to create flow and function with perfectly placed baby zones for sleeping, nursing, changing, and (later) playing.

Trying to budget for a baby and nursery without losing your mind? Oh, it’s totally possible—trust me. 💸 In Episode 5, I’m spilling the tea on how to master your nursery budget like a pro (and avoid those over-budget nightmares that I mayyyyyyy have lived through myself). Here’s a taste of what you’ll get:

- The art of ranking your nursery dreams: must-haves, nice-to-haves, and ‘maybe one day’ splurges.
- How to blend baby registry costs into your budget so you don’t blow your savings on designer wallpaper.
- Sneaky ways to predict costs, account for taxes, and yes, that dreaded shipping fee.
- Why creating your budget alongside your design (not after) is the ultimate stress-buster.
- Creative hacks for staying within budget without sacrificing those dreamy Pinterest vibes.

🎥 Plus, I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes video on how I organize it all in Excel—because who doesn’t love a good spreadsheet glow-up? And it’s all in the workbook, which, BTW, is packed with:

1. Step-by-step guides to make nursery planning actually fun.
2. Private videos for all my fellow visual learners.
3. Tools to keep your budget—and your sanity—in check.

Swooning over this kitchen and master bath renovation I'm working on for a client in NYC.

Bold and dramatic. Mid-century inspired to fit into their existing style and home show pieces.

I often get asked what to do when 💩 hits the fan with a contractor and the relationship goes sour. And in this week's Ask A Designer segment on the Savvy Designer blog goes into detail on How to Handle a Contractor Who Doesn't Finish the Job.

A contractor who won't return to finish the job can turn your dream into a nightmare. In this situation, two different directions can be taken, and the direction that you take is entirely dependent on whether you have a construction contract in place.

A construction contract is meant to outline what you do in situations when things go south, and what each party has agreed to.

When you don't have a construction contract, what are your options? How do you get the original contractor back to finish the work? How do you hire a new contractor without any issues or disputes from the first contractor?

Follow these 5 steps:

📝 Establish a Paper Trail
🔖 Draft a Demand Letter
📢 Lodge a Complaint with the Better Business Bureau & Licensing Board
👷 Hire a Completion Contractor
🌐 Leave an Online Review to warn others

WARNING: these options might not get the end result you're seeking.... reimbursement for damages and lost time, but they set the ball in motion and ideally allow some result to be achieved, or at the very least put your mind at rest.

That's why a construction contract is sooooooo important.

I dig deeper into the legal process, and the options available for this unfortunate homeowner in this week's blog post. Check it out here: www.gabriellamilgrom.co/post/contractor-who-doesnt… to set yourself up for success in your next renovation project.
