So happy we hired Jessica Manela from Tusk Home and Design when we purchased our home in December 2020. She has designed and overseen multiple big projects ( refinishing wood floors, interior painting, kitchen renovation, master suite, etc). We are so lucky to have found Jessica as she helped make our new house a home. Highly recommend the talented whole team!

We worked with Sarah at Tusk on our family room and dining area. She completely transformed the space and made the process fun and easy. I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. I knew Sarah was busy but she made me feel like I was her only client. She was in touch constantly, came to every appointment herself, presented a range of options and helped me make decisions when I was feeling indecisive. We’ve since worked with Sarah on our projects and continue to love her style and her work. Highly recommend- you won’t be disappointed!

Sarah and her team are incredibly talented! Communication and customer service are top notch as well! Working with Tusk truly eliminated the stress, anxiety and costly mistakes that can come with interior design and renovation.

Sarah and team were amazing! So friendly and accommodating with our feedback and loved all the amazing design insights. It was fun and easy to collaborate, they stayed aware of our budget and provided lots of solutions that stayed within it. And we could not be happier with the results. We completely redesigned the home and we are seriously in our dream home now. Beautiful AND comfortable.

We worked with Sarah on a major home renovation which included adding an addition, gutting the entire first floor including the kitchen and adding a mudroom. From start to finish Sarah was (and still is) the most professional and efficient person we have worked with. She was on top of every detail, communicated with us daily and made the entire process as seamless as possible. In any project (especially now) there are hiccups and although we had very few Sarah was an advocate for us and made sure we were happy with everything. Her talent and vision are unmatched, she far exceeded our expectations for what our home could be. We were able to rely on her for every decision and she was right 100% of the time! Her style is unmatched and the way she ties things together and creates a space that is truly unique and fitting to your lifestyle amazes me. Sarah was always available for us, she was never out of reach and oversaw every single detail of a very large project. I am so grateful for her expertise, her beautiful taste and how easy Sarah is to work with, I enjoyed every minute of it and hope to do more with Tusk home!

Not only are Sarah and her team extremely talented, but they're a pleasure to work with. I've worked with design teams before and have always been left wanting more. Sarah's great, and we trust her completely. We did a large project with her during the summer of '21 and just re-upped for a second phase for the summer of '22.

We have loved working with Tusk Home & Design and Sarah Weiland. Sarah worked with us to renovate our kitchen, master bedroom and bathroom and we couldn't be happier! They exceeded all our expectations! We are now starting the next phase of our project with Sarah and Tusk. Their style, responsiveness, and knowledge make for a fun process and a gorgeous end product. We couldn't recommend them more highly!

Sarah and her team are BEYOND professional with every aspect of every project. Responses are timely, thoughtful, and they really take the time to understand your desired look. I also have found that they are always respectful of any budget that I set for projects. I am now working on my second "big" project with Sarah and could not be happier with the results. Our house looks beautiful because of the great work Tusk does. An added plus is that their new shop is an amazing space to find lots of unique decor for your house. I highly recommend Sarah and her team. THANK YOU!

Sarah decorated our entire house in addition to helping us pick stone, design built ins, and select finishes for our new build. She is fast, thorough and did an amazing job of understanding our preferences and dealing with all the fun of a couple with two very different aesthetics. Can’t recommend enough!!!

Very cheap furniture with -up to- double mark ups and design staff that is equivalent to walking into Pottery Barn for free services. I have a lot to say due to a very unfortunate experience but due to settling w this company, I will leave those horrifying details out and stick with the fact that this review is mainly for the fact that the quality of furniture (after discovering the crazy mark ups) is so poor. The cabinets already have broken (within 3 months) and the coffee table so scratched up from barely touching it. Also, the chairs are so lightweight that they flip at times. I’m still in such shock that they sell stuff like this. The reviews on other sites reflect the same issues I’m reviewing for but I chose to not look at reviews. Never again. I encourage everyone to research before hiring amateur design firms with pricing like this one.

We moved from a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan into our new home and consulted a few interior designers before moving forward with Jessica Manela and the Tusk team. There is no question that this was one of the best decisions we made as new homeowners. From space planning to sourcing, purchasing, delivery, and install, it has been a pleasure to work with Jessica. She is a true professional and has become one of our most trusted advisors. Despite the many challenges and uncertainties that COVID has presented, Jessica has been our rock in all aspects of home design and remodeling – honest, resourceful, and always responsive, attentive, and flexible. We truly enjoy working with Jessica and the Tusk team and would highly recommend them as a first point of contact for any home design project.

I was extremely disappointed with the staff. The lady working there was reluctant, and I would even say rude when I asked for help. In our conversation she even gave me an eye roll and when I caught her she blamed it on the heater going on. It seemed like I wasn’t matching the profile of someone who might have $$ to spend. I went in ready to order. My experience was horrible and I will not go back or recommend them to anyone
