Spaces By Juliana Linssen, Inc.
Interior Designers & Decorators in San Mateo County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 May 2014
“Juliana designed our kitchen in Glen Ellen and it came out beautifully. Right out of the first design we only made a couple of changes and she came back with the second design and it was perfect. She took me shopping and helped me pick out the appliances and tile/granite. We wanted to do it right the first time so we spent money on what counted and Juliana helped us spend less on the items that didn't show as much so we could stay within our budget. Our friends come and all want to know where we found the granite and we tell them Juliana found it for us! I wish we had another house for her to design!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 January 2013
“Kerstin worked with us on a bathroom remodel. It was evident from the start that she has a broad base of knowledge in design and construction. We were impressed with how she worked with vendors and contractors, taking control of the project in a professional manner. She understands what the client wants while at the same time offers valuable opinions. Our project was completed without a hitch and we could not be happier. I'd definitely recommend Kerstin for any design project.”
Milana Designs

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 May 2022
“Milana was helping us redesign our Master Bathroom when we discovered she had designed our favorite bathroom at the SF Decorator Showcase. We were so thrilled with her sleek design of our bathroom that we asked her to help us with our downstairs powder room. Extremely knowledgeable and with a sharp eye, Milana works hard to give her clients what they need and goes above and beyond. She is wonderful to work with; even the fabricator we're working with sings her praises, as do we!”

Pori - Paschal O'Reilly Interiors, Inc.
Interior Designers & Decorators in San Mateo County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 January 2022
“We bought our house in Atherton two years ago, and hired Paschal O'Reilly of PORI Interiors to decorate the entire house. He is an absolute dream to work with and I could not recommend him more highly. Not only is he extremely talented with a very good eye for proportion and color, but he also provides an exceptionally high level of customer service. In the past we've worked with a number of designers who can select beautiful pieces, but he's far and away the most organized and detail-oriented designer we've ever worked with. The process of working with him was easier than I could have imagined. Another quality I really admire about Paschal is his ability to mix high and low. We ended up choosing some high quality custom pieces, and also some great looking accent pieces from inexpensive retailers. He's not a design snob, and he can get excited about all beautiful pieces--whether they're expensive or not. Along those lines, he also helped me select fun and inexpensive pieces for my children's bedrooms and he understands that not everything needs to be high-end to look nice and function well. All around I simply couldn't recommend him more highly, and couldn't imagine a more positive working relationship.”
Design Loft Company
Interior Designers & Decorators in San Mateo County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 December 2012
“We hired Hellen Hsieh, the owner of Design Loft Company, to design our 725 sq ft great room addition. We are so incredibly thrilled with the completed project, it is exactly what we had envisioned. Our existing house was a 1200 sq ft 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. The kitchen and living area was very modest. With two teenagers at home, we needed to expand and wanted more room to entertain. When we started the project we were uncertain if we should knock down walls and remodel the current floor plan and add a small addition or keep the footprint of the existing house exactly the same and add on one large great room. We decided to do the later, however, to get to this point, we went through several different renderings. Hellen provided us with many great options and helped us decide what would be the most economical and feasible plan. She was flexible, patient and was great about pointing out the pros and cons of each option. Her interactions with our architect , contractor and cabinet supplier went very smoothly which helped us to meet specific deadlines. Hellen was maticulous when it came to the kitchen cabinets and made sure everything was ordered properly and our custom stain came out exactly how we wanted. As a designer, she is very creative and knowledgeable. She understood the style and feel we were after. More importantly she was very conscious and respectful of our monetary constraints which helped us complete our entire project within budget. What impressed us most was her understanding of the build process: from the contractors needs, the city requirements, realistic costs and time estimates, appliance installation prerequisites and inspection requirements. We couldn't be more pleased with Design Loft and Hellen's professionalism.”
