March 28, 2024Client Spotlight - Barbie Tafel
Audrey Hepburn stated “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.“ Barbie Tafel has learned that gardening teaches hope, patience, resilience, tolerance, and observation. Think about how each of the senses are activated when you enter your own special garden room ….. sight, touch, smell, sound, and taste. Barbie ADORES her job !!!! What is better than being asked to create an outdoor space designed for family gatherings, relaxation, entertainment or solitude.
Since 1991 Barbie has had the privilege of “Creating Classic Exterior Designs”. Not only does she have the dream job of designing your outdoor space but she has an incredible team of trusted and talented contractors who meticulously and efficiently work with her on installations. It is tremendously gratifying to implement her designs (i.e. contracting) because as we all have experienced… A poorly executed plan results in mistakes, substitutions and a lot is lost in translation!
Barbie consults with clients on small projects or very large, multi faceted projects. Often, she is able to leave a client with a plan after just an hour. She jokingly says that after 35 years of working on properties, you get the best out of her in the first hour because she knows immediately what needs to be done. However, the process of an on site consultation with the homeowners is very important in order to determine their needs, visions, style, the architecture of their home and the way they intend to use their exterior spaces.
