Senior Spaces
The thought of moving fifty years of belongings, especially for a senior, and their family members, is overwhelming. Transitioning to independent or assisted living is a big event and not a decision to be made lightly.
Carol Tanzi is a high energy, award-winning interior designer with a fifty year career in interior design. She is determined to make a difference in the experience of transitioning a loved one into the next stage of their lives.
Carol is currently working with clients by offering many different services and can provide you with the assistance that is needed on an individual basis respecting the individual’s dignity while handling matters in a professional and caring manner. She can take the burden off of the family giving the senior peace of mind by handling all aspects of this transitionary period to their liking.
Carol’s approach makes it as stress free as possible for the senior and their family. She will work closely with all parties by editing furnishings and belongings, and organizing and arranging possessions in the new residence and will be there on moving day to handle any situation that may arise.
Carol has all of the qualifications to create a home-like setting that will reflect the senior’s personal taste and style which will improve the quality of life, enabling emotional, mental, and physical needs to be met.

“I have worked with Carol on several projects over the years and enjoyed her professional expertise, high energy level and her pleasant, outgoing personality. Carol is able to find creative solutions to difficult situations. She also has an excellent eye for hanging pictures, and displaying art work and collectibles. If you are downsizing Carol can work to fit your key pieces into a new environment in an attractive manner. But she also knows the market if you need a key piece to complete your new environment.”

“We recently moved into a new apartment to complete our downsizing. Based on the recommendation of a friend, we contacted Carol to help us with rearranging the pictures and clocks we had brought with us, and offer suggestions on arranging the furniture. Carol quickly assessed our situation and provided friendly guidance to complete the task. She was easy to work with, provided excellent direction, and was open to modification as we discussed placement. We wish we had contacted her prior to doing the initial stages of downsizing . Our new home is much more comfortable because of her direction.”
