upscale home furnishings...across North America. There
is no limit to what you can accomplish with DOTI. We have

focus on execution, rather than consistently
"reinventing the wheel."

Total investment
will be between $275,000-$400,000 depending on many factors we can
discuss with you further. You should have a minimum of $125,000 in
liquid funds available.
DOTI is different because of the level of personalized in-home service,
access to merchandise from around the world, and "one stop shop" we
provide our clients. Whether the need is for an entire home full of
furniture, window treatments, rugs, and accessories…or a simple lamp,
our Design Consultants work within the client's budget, timeframe, and
desired style to complete the project. We make money by selling
merchandise, not by charging high fees sometimes associated with the
competition.
