Cooke Interiors Studio

Barb literally worked as our Project Manager throughout our build job. Did not miss a detail. We hope she’ll work for us again only in Florida. She’s amazing!

We renovated our kitchen, laundry room, master bath, two secondary full bathrooms and powder room. Except for the powder room, we took everything back to the studs and moved walls. It was a big, long job. Barb is the reason we love the final result and she helped us keep our sanity when the Covid shutdown turned everything upside down. Barb has a great eye and does beautiful work - as do many designers. What makes Barb stand out is her organization, listening skills and lack of drama. She's thoughtful and creative in her ideas and problem solving, as well as being reassuring and calm when the inevitable curve ball occurs. She responded to my phone calls and texts promptly. Her billing was transparent and detailed. She created a binder for our project with all the information regarding products being used, specs, layouts and installation, so that all involved could reference it quickly and stay on task. She did a great job of understanding our vision and goals for aesthetics and usefulness of each space. She let our personality come through while also guiding us in our design choices. She had great ideas that made the final outcome much more refined and beautiful than we could have ever thought of on our own. She was great at listening to the look and/or feel we wanted in the space and provided us with enough options to make it ours without inundating us. In a couple of spaces, I told her she had 'carte blanche' to do with it whatever she liked. She took into account our style and put her own spin on it and the outcome was beautiful. We love every inch of the finished project, and it's because of Barb.

Barb does an amazing job of understanding the complete project. She adheres to the budget and has amazing creative ideas within those. She is open to new ideas and is a great team member. I love her positive attitude and work ethic. We have worked with her on a large number of projects and they have varied greatly. I would recommend her whole heartily. She is a great working partner and a very active member of our community.

We had 100% positive interactions with Barb and recommend her without reservations. She is all the things you would like in a design expert. She is professional, kind, easy to work with, has great/innovative ideas, looks for a bargain when appropriate, and is on top of things...keeping the project on time. Our project went great, and Barb was a big reason for that.
