1
Discovery Call
We use Discovery Calls to learn about potential clients and educate them on our company, our expertise, and our process. We will inquire about you, your home, your project vision, and your goals.
We encourage you to ask us questions as well. It will help us both to determine if we are a good fit for each other.

Design Consultation ($500)
A Tailored Home designer will visit your home to further discuss the details and scope of your project. This consultation is designed to act as a road map.
Tailored Home will provide a Design Proposal for your review, thoroughly outlining the project scope, main goals and deliverables, timeline, and project fee.

Detailed Design Phase
Here, the fun begins. Your designer will work collaboratively with you to understand your aesthetics, how you want to live in the space, and how most importantly – how you want to feel in the space. Once the project is defined, you will join your designer in the studio to start the process. In this phase you will meet the full Tailored Home team and review initial design concepts.
Our extensive showroom is like no other in Philadelphia. We represent hundreds of domestic and international fabric and wallpaper designers, furniture, lighting, and carpet manufacturers – all carefully curated by our lead designer and owner, Starr Osborne.

Purchasing & Execution Phase
Tailored Home will get to work executing the project! This may include, but is not limited to:
- Submitting orders in a timely fashion & communicating any changes or delays
- Monitoring vendor production dates and estimated times of completion
- Tracking shipping
- Detailed updates to clients for long term projects
- Scheduling tradespeople for measuring, pick-ups, and deliveries

Meet Starr
Tailored Home is led by Starr Osborne, whose creativity and passion are infused in all things Tailored.
After beginning her career at Sotheby’s and Christie’s auction houses in New York, and later running her own public relations firm servicing high-end artists, designers, and products, Starr literally wrote the book on home staging: Home Staging that Works: Sell your Home in Less Time for more Money.
In her book, she offers staging strategies for each room of the home, to make the right buyer fall in love.
Collaboration, communication, and teamwork are the foundations of Starr’s design process.
Starr intentionally mixes styles, periods, and brands to create environments tailored to each client. She embraces color and texture and is known for her nuanced designs. Her Tailored Home stores, located in Chestnut Hill, PA and Greenville, DE, follow the same philosophy.
Starr earned her B.A. in History of Art from Yale and was a Fellow at Historic Deerfield. She lives in Chestnut Hill with her family and has served on several boards.
