Monthly Retainer - fall 2026

Get strategic, trusted support throughout your entire renovation so you make confident decisions, avoid costly missteps, and stay in control of your project, without doing it alone.

The Renovation Insider Monthly Retainer is for homeowners managing their own renovation (or overseeing a team) who want an experienced consultant in their corner from start to finish.

It’s designed for you if:

• You’re taking the lead on your renovation but need expert input at key decision points
  
  

• You’ve hired vendors or a team, but want someone to help connect the dots
  
  

• You want strategic advice on what to say yes to, what to push back on, and where to save
  
  

• You’re feeling overwhelmed by the volume of decisions and want to avoid expensive mistakes
  
  

• You’ve seen Blythe’s work and want her involved regularly—not just for a one-off call
  

With this ongoing retainer, you’ll have:

• 60-minute virtual consulting sessions 1x every two weeks to work through the phase of project you're currently in
  

• Ongoing feedback via email or shared docs on plans, estimates, materials, or vendor questions
  

• Monthly on-site visits (Hamptons, Berkshires, Westchester, select CT towns)
  

• Access to Blythe’s trade discounts with no markup on any items ordered during our consults
  

• Real-time insights, new ideas, and honest input to keep your project aligned and on-budget

You’ll love this if:

• You’re managing your first renovation or your first profit-driven one
  

• You’re realizing how many decisions your architect or contractor didn’t make for you
  

• You’re having decision fatigue or starting to second-guess some of your team’s calls
  

• You want fresh design ideas, sourcing support, or strategic second opinions
  

• You want the confidence that comes from having someone who’s done this dozens of times in your corner

I’ve bought, renovated, and sold homes in the Hamptons—growing my portfolio from one $635k property to over $8.5M in value. I’m a licensed real estate agent, Airbnb Superhost, and renovation consultant. I’m the one vendors call when they need someone to “fill in the gaps” and translate vision to execution.

After working together you’ll:

• Save thousands by avoiding costly errors or rework your team didn’t catch
  

• Feel confident in your layout, finishes, and timeline knowing they’ve been reviewed
  

• Discover creative design and budget “hacks” Blythe has used herself
  

• Move through your renovation with less stress, more clarity, and consistent expert support
  

• Get real-time access to vendor recs, market insights, and sourcing suggestions from “this would be perfect” texts to off-the-radar outlet finds
  

Next steps: 

Step 1: Book a Renovation Insider call or intro call to make sure the retainer is the right fit
Step 2: Get onboarded with your project documents, renovation goals, and access preferences
Step 3: Start your monthly rhythm of calls, email support, and on-site visits (where applicable)
Step 4: Move forward with expert support at every key decision point

This package is designed for returning or existing clients. New clients are encouraged to book a Renovation Insider session or Discovery Call first. Blythe is a renovation consultant, not a hands-on interior designer. She provides strategic input at the intersection of design, renovation and real estate, rather than traditional interior design services.
