“I worked with Ruth on a major archtectural kitchen renovation, and would recommend her to all that will listen. Ruth was creative, professional, honest, and consistently exceeded my expectations of what an interior designer could do for me. Her knowledge of and relationships within the industry were extensive and afforded me the opportunity to truly see what my options were, both in materials and in pricing. I have worked with Ruth on several other smaller projects, and her consistent delivery of outstanding results as well as her unwavering personal integrity will keep me coming back for more!”

“Sarah was instrumental in transforming our house from the frumpy style of the previous owners to a home that reflected our style and personality. Our house has some quirks and we were overwhelmed on how to set it up in the right way. From room layout, to color strategy, to finding good deals on furniture, rugs, and other things, Sarah does it all. She did a great job communicating and sharing ideas over email and Pinterest, but also came over in person to meet with us several times based on our schedules.”

“Theresa did an incredible job to help me redesign my living room. Her sense of style and design have made my home feel warm and inviting. I have had numerous comments from family and friends on the beauty of the space. Theresa made the process easy and affordable.”

“I went from a house full of blah, builder’s white walls to fabulous, spirited surroundings in a complementary palette of warm reds, yellows and greens. Sharon helped me to determine the right colors, coaching me every step of the way. And, she considered my budget and family's needs as we decorated.”

“My husband is very handy so we knew he could do the work. Problem was we didn’t have a design plan. I decided to call a professional. From the initial phone call, I felt I could work with Becky. She asked lots of pertinent questions, and I scheduled a home consultation. The project was a living room in a 30 year old house which hadn’t been redecorated in 20 years. We have views of a lake, so a nautical theme seemed natural. After much discussion, Becky suggested a “nautical shabby chic decor” complete with chandelier and seashells. She mentioned several architectural changes, such as taking down a 3/4 high wall near the stairs and installing a horizontal window over the fireplace. Just these 2 ideas added much-needed light into the room. We added white faux beams to the ceiling, a warm ash hardwood floor, and gorgeous grey walls (not a color I would have considered until I saw her picture board). What I especially liked was that she also helped me choose some wonderful, inexpensive accent pieces - a 4 foot sailboat on a shelf over our piano, cut glass lamps to enhance the chandelier, and a beautiful golden rug. These were found in consignment stores! We found Becky easy to talk to and she had out-of-the-box ideas! She listened to what we told her. She is an excellent communicator, and doesn’t try to talk you into something you are not comfortable with. Becky was reliable and when she says she will call you, she does. We would definitely recommend her to anyone who is thinking about a design plan. The outcome is a stunning room that we will be able to enjoy for years to come!”

“Christina helped us decorate most all of our new home. She is smart, talented and an absolute joy to work with! She helped us co-ordinate our Ethan Allen furniture with window treatments and rugs, all in one fabulous store. A very professional woman, I would recommend Christi's expertise to anyone that needs advice with their decorating!”

“Bree Wright Clark's personal warmth and positive professionalism was the winning combination which convinced me on our first meeting that she was the right interior designer for me. She works equally well with those who have strong opinions and those prefer to leave most decisions up to her. She consistently generates creative ideas and solutions to fit comfortably within her client's budget. She is thoroughly acquainted with the latest ideas, innovations and products available to the trade and she freely shares that information with her clients. She has the eye of an artist and she brings her vision to her clients in a most refreshing way. She consistently handles on-the-job construction stresses and delivery delays calmly and with workable solutions. Bree Wright Clark is the Best!”

“Cheryl at Beautifying Spaces helped me with an addition to my house where I was adding an attached garage and breezeway. She was amazing! She came up with a design that seamlessly tied in with the existing structure and yet included modern touches and maximized the views from the breezeway. The breezeway is now one of the most striking features of the house. Her attention to detail was extraordinary ensuring every last item was addressed and I stayed on budget. I am already thinking about the next project she can help me with.”

“Diana has done an outstanding job at both my office and my home. Working with East Coast Design Inc. was effortless.. I highly recommend East Coast Design!”

“Mandeville Canyon Design provided us with such incredible service and outstanding design work for our new home! Renee listened to what I wanted and made it come to life. Every day I walk into my house, I smile and love the way it looks. She is incredibly talented, fun to work with and so responsive. One thing that is most important to me when working with a designer is that the final product still feels like "me" and my style, and not like the designer and their style. Mandeville Canyon Design absolutely accomplished that! I highly recommend using them!”
