“Over the past 22 years Kim and I have worked together on many projects. Besides being very talented, she is professional, commited and loyal to her clients and brings a sense of ease that makes her clients feel relaxed. As her fabrication workroom I can say that her attention to detail and knowledge of color and pattern makes her projects stand out. Kim is a designer that I choose to pass on to my clients again and again.”

“Kimberly of Brick and Beam Studio was wonderful to work with! She really listens and does a great deal of background work to understand your vision, your budget, and what you need for your lifestyle. She's flexible and willing to work with you the whole way through. I really believe she went above and beyond for us (we were rather indecisive!) I'll never work with any other designer and we plan to hire Kimberly again when it's time to update our second floor. I highly recommend Brick and Beam Studio - you won't be disappointed!”

“Laura is simply one of the best designers I've had the pleasure to know. She has a keen eye for creative detail and knows how to pull a project together! I could not recommend her more highly!”

“"Dianna helped us with a complex bathroom redesign involving 2 spaces. She had great ideas, listened carefully, and made the process smooth and successful. Her sense of color is wonderful and her skills and access to resources helped us to realize our dream and stay within budget. Thank you, Dianna!"”

“I have had the delightful pleasure of working with Cindy Kramer on the interior design of our cottage in Weekapaug, RI. Cindy was inspired by our location! Her choice of colors - and overall design was very sophisticated while keeping the connection to our coastal environment. Given the realities of a large family enjoying the summertime beach lifestyle, Cindy was always respectful of our needs. We blended vintage finds and estate sale antiques with a mix of blues, whites and sandy tones throughout. Cindy updated our old and tired kitchen, replaced old tile with hardwood floors, chose fabulous sofas and rugs, created custom designs for our pillows, diningroom window panels and livingroom shades. The result is a perfect blend of beauty, coast and care-free! I love spending time in this cottage. Every time I walk in the door, I breathe in calm. I have Cindy to thank for all of this, and highly recommend her for your interior design project. Enjoy!” — Dorothy Reiser, Weekapaug, RI / Mystic, CT”

“I've worked with Reiko several times over the years. Reiko has a knack for listening to her client's needs and design tastes and then creating their beautiful environment. This was a master bedroom renovation and Reiko was able to help me achieve the beautiful, restful retreat I had in mind. Reiko was also respectful of my budget and timeline. I now have the bedroom of my dreams and must admit I spend more time in that room, reading and relaxing than the rest of my house!”

“We loved working with Erica whose design expertise completely transformed our living space. She was able to take our small, poorly designed living room and create an open, family friendly space ~ with comfortable seating for 6! She really listened to what was important to us, giving ideas we never considered before, like a custom sectional sofa. We decided to go with all of her suggestions, including ordering the sofa, allowing our personalized space to become a reality. We first met Erica in her shop on Main Street in Chester, CT - a wonderful shop with many unique, high quality handcrafted furnishings and home accessories – and quickly got to know her. We enjoyed her creative, energetic and open style and knew immediately she was the right person to work with. We couldn’t be happier having Erica’s help, whether with design work, or shopping in her unique studio in Chester.”

“I have worked with Leslie on several projects. She is excellent at space planning and creates CAD drawings/renderings that are incredibly helpful to me and my need for precision. Leslie has a great sense of space and how it can be used successfully. She is always positive and works really well with others.”

“Chantal Lawrence is the owner of Total Design Source. Some years ago we collaborated on the many ideas that I had been mulling over for my house renovation. Chantal worked with me to take all of these undefined ideas and turn them into a real plan and a fairly major renovation of the kitchen, dining room, expanded living area and garage. She is knowledgeable, professional, compassionate and very creative. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for anything from a complete renovation to just a refreshing of your space. I cannot say enough about her. Phase 2, Remarkable, stupendous, incredible, fabulous are amongst the adjectives I would use to define Chantal's vision and commitment to a project. I first met Chantal some years ago when I was designing the addition to my house, an antique reproduction cape with a variety of roof line intricacies. Through conversations of needs, wants, form and function, Chantal took my scribbles and ideas and designed a beautiful renovation project which I have enjoyed for some years. Most recently, I was commenting on the need to freshen up and make some changes with a little art and color. Chantal spent all day with me on Sunday strategizing, moving, tweaking, planning until the house looked fresh and new. Much of this was accomplished with many of my own items, just moved or re-functioned to make a more inviting home. Some of it was some new art to complement what was already there but enable the colors of the room to pop! I cannot speak highly enough of Chantal and Total Design Source. Her knowledge of color, design, functionality, access to the very best work rooms from fabric to metal and anywhere in between is phenomenal. Even if you're just thinking about it you owe it to yourself to speak with Chantal. You will be overjoyed.”

“We needed a lighting plan for the kitchen, and one was submitted within a very short time, complete with cardboard hanging mock ups in the suggested locations; the contractor was very happy with her drawings. She also submitted two or three other decorative ideas for the room which we liked very much.”
