Of course! Künna By Karla understands that each client has different needs. You only pay for the specific service you want and need.
When buying for seasonal decor, what do you look for to make the best possible purchase?
I compare all product aspects. Quality, materials, overall size and most importantly, the price. I believe cheap is expensive in the long run. I also know that not all the most expensive items are necessarily the best either. My rule of thumb for shopping is: I would not buy anything for you that I would not buy for myself!
I love to save money when it comes to shopping. Do you offer post holiday decor shopping?
Absolutely! Although after the holidays most items are picked over, this is when it is worth buying the expensive ornaments that are finally discounted.

Be as thorough as you can with the Decor Styling Questionnaire we send to you prior to our initial meeting.
Research and have some images ready to share of Decor ideas that you like.
Think about where you would like to set up the decorations.
If you don't need assistance with getting things out of storage, pre-sort it if possible, have extra lights and plenty of extension cords available.
Make sure your Seasonal Decor is ready to go by the tree.
If you have a prelit Christmas tree, fluff it and make sure all lights are working.
FAQ Christmas Lighting Installation
Outdoor Residential Spaces: Please be aware I do not rent lights, I sell them so I can install them. They lights would be customized to the exact trim, trees, or landscape of your home. I wouldn't profit from the sale, but I facilitate them at a wholesale price so I can do the installation after adding a 18% shopping fee that will include taking the time to search, order, receive and deliver the product.
What is the average cost of the C9 LED lights?
Averages at $3 dlls per ft plus install labor no matter the color. In regards labor, just to give you a little bit of a price range, about 250 linear ft. (depending on your roof/ and if the gutter needs to be cleaned up before) it would be about $660 dlls for labor (install and removal/storage organization) plus the one time investment for the lights of $750.
How do I know if I have the right outdoor Power and Voltage?
You have to make sure you have the right outdoor power and voltage; Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI - in case it rains, the lights should automatically shut off according to a Licensed Electrician to avoid any electric issues. ) If the outdoor electric complies with some of those requirements, and is underneath a porch or some structure than can provide shelter, you may avoid some of this extra expense. If you do need an outdoor outlet, I would reffer you to the licensed electrician I work with. Depending on your home and it can start around $125 dlls.
