Universal Design in Hopkins.

“John's vision for renovating our commercial warehouse space was spot on! His eye for design is impeccable and he's one of the easiest people to work with. Every single contractor and customer that has been to our business has been impressed with how "cool" it is. In fact, we continually here comments on the attention to detail, the thoughtfulness in preserving original building elements while adding contemporary touches, and the overall wow factor. John was ever mindful of our budget and completely attuned to how we intended to utilize the space for our business needs. If I could give Cannarsa Structure and Design a hundred stars, I would.”

“Debra Poppen Design's signature style elevates any design. Her creative approach to design, using high-quality materials, created a space that added value and function to my home. I'm thrilled with the results and have received rave reviews from friends and neighbors!”

“Lindsay re-designed our one bedroom apartment. She maximized 800 square feet (including living room office) sensibly and with a modest budget. She spent a lot of time learning about our style and was consistently accessible (SMS, email, video). Lindsay was never pretentious - always patient and friendly. Her sense of space and detail is unmatched; I jump at any chance to recommend her.”

“I have worked with Amber and Gwen on two condos which required different strategies. Our needs for the first condo focused on maximizing the space as it is small and the focus of the renovation/decoration was to create a warm and welcoming environment that was casual as the condo is in a resort town. We had the most fun working with them as they are creative, classy, intelligent, and extremely knowledgeable. We trusted their advice as they knew what we wanted. They created a wonderful place with accessories, bedding, furniture, lighting that made our place a showcase at only 1000 square feet. We wanted to use our paintings from Brasil. The attention to detail - buttons on window fixtures that matched the materials on furniture, the color scheme that went throughout the condo, working with the contractor to ensure that everything blended to mazimize space - was amazing. Because of what they did at this condo, we asked them if they would help us on another condo. The challenge for Gwen and Amber was that we lived in China at the time, had bought a condo sight unseen, and we wanted to have major renovations done to the kitchen, bathroom, and mudroom as well as having them integrate all of our "treasures" from around the world - furniture, pottery, paintings and other acccessories from China, Korea, Africa, Brazil, Middle East, and Europe without ever having seen these treasures. Gwen and Amber took on the challenge and worked with us virtually to create a home that reflected our style where we could entertain and make our guests feel at home too. Not only did they handle all the decorating and interior design - Gwen managed the contractors for us. Everything came together on time and within our budget. Gwen is a master at visualizing what your needs are, offering options with a range of costs so that you have choices, advising on what blends together or not. She is also very patient and diplomatic when we wanted to add more Chinese furniture. She would listen and then patiently explain that we were looking for a more global look and not just Asian. Then she would come back with a piece of furniture like the Chinese one that would be a better match and quality. You could not find two interior designers who are more professional, creative, cost-conscious, and elegant than Amber and Gwen. They are trustworthy, innovative, and have an amazing work ethic. They work 24/7 so it was always easy to contact them virtually. Also, they are a lot of fun to work with as they have a positive, can-do attitude in getting things done in the least stressful way as you work through all the details to make your home what you want it be be. They took our ideas and made them better. I would use them again if I bought another home regardless where I lived as I know that they can and will work virtually. I would highly recommend them as I know they can do anything that they set their minds to in helping someone create their dream home. I bet they could even do offices too!!! You can see our living room and dining room on their website. We love what they did to both of our places. They are a great team!”

“Tammy did a great job with our Kitchen we love it!! The cabinet detail was difficult to explain all the extras and options, but she did a great job, making it simple, from the crown to the light rail, and coordinating the electrical layout with the electrician she was great!!”

“Lindsey came into our renovation project and saved us! We had been working with another designer that was not for us. When we met Lindsey she jumped in and hit the ground running. She understood our style and vision immediately and delivered more than I could even imagine. Prior to working with Knox J Design we were overwhelmed and not confident about our remodel. Then we met Lindsey and meeting with her every week about our renovation became the highlight of our week! She is so personal and down to earth. She works different than most designers, she works with any contracts, studios, furniture stores etc. She just seemed so much more flexible, as if each client she accommodates accordingly. This is a designer that found her passion and it shines through in every way. So Grateful!”

“Kathy of Home Life Interiors was pleasant, professional, and competent. We hired her to redecorate our living and dining room areas, and we are very happy with the results. She always followed through with anything she said she would do, or any time she said she would meet us. She is willing to work with what you have rather than buy everything new. She listens carefully to your preferences and designs the room or house with that in mind.”

“Amber has helped us on many projects over the years and we are blown away by her work every time! Her attention to detail, insight, and recommendations for each design she creates sets her apart from the rest. She is great at communicating and always responds quickly to emails or calls. I can't thank Amber enough for everything she has done for us. She has me as a lifetime client!”

“I originally met Tiffany when she worked as a designer with a local furniture company. We were downsizing to a condo and wanted to start again with furniture and decor. She made the transition easier. I was very happy with the working relationship we had and have used her expertise on numerous projects since the initial one. I value her professional advice. She is my go to when my brain is clogged with details and I do not want to make any more decisions.... which seems to happen more as I get older. She helped me choose a color scheme for our whole condo as well as furniture placement and some of the extra decorating items. A good designer takes all the brain clogging details we store. She/he sorts them into "keep", "donate" and "dump". All I have to do is concentrate on the "keep" pile. It is very liberating and cheaper than a therapist. I am willing to add photos, but would seek her permission first, as I do not always do exactly what a designer would do, and she may not want certain choices displayed as having her stamp of approval. She charges by the hour or by the project.”

“Jamie did an outstanding job for us. She guided me through the show room so that I could have a very good visual of all of the furniture that we needed for our remodel. She listened to what my design requests were and let me have the final decision in the selection process. She is very knowledgable about all of the furniture, flooring, tile and quartz that we bought. I would highly recommend Jamie Heinz as a decorator.”
