Space Planning Services in Ann Arbor, MI

“Kitty is a wonderful, collaborative interior designer and I love working with her. I first hired Kitty in 2001 when we were building our custom home. She was involved with floor planning, paint, flooring, cabinetry. Her recommendations made a positive difference in how our home was done, as we had a difficult lot on which to build and therefore a limited footprint. She also provided a design concept with furniture, color scheme, fabrics, etc. Over the years I contacted her for several other projects - usually once a year or so, and they encompassed such things as repainting, drapery design and coordination with seamstress, wall art layout, more furniture, bedding/bedskirts, furniture layout, accessories, etc. Kitty is amazingly easy to work with. I have had experiences with two designers in the past where the designer forced ideas on me that I ultimately did not love. Kitty understands my design style and "gets" what I like in my coastal-style home. She is thoughtful, kind, collaborative and organized. She works around sentimental items that I have rather than turning her nose up at them. My home has Kitty's stamp all over it. I have referred her to others and she will be my designer for life!”

“Every time (seriously, every single time) I walk into the bathroom that Noelle redesigned for us, I feel refreshed, invigorated, and inspired - I had no idea a room could do that for a person! A warm and welcoming woman, Noelle worked with us and our humble budget to transform our dingy yellow and beige 70's-era bathroom into a white and blue modern masterpiece. (I even caught the tile guy taking pictures of the room when he was all done - it's so gorgeous!) Hiring Noelle was easily the best decision we made for our home and we can't wait to see her ideas for our kitchen remodel.”

“Elizabeth has interior designed our former home and our current home including basement; to say we know her work would be an understatement. We hired Elizabeth mainly for her exquisite taste in design and colors included with that was an energy of excitement and the willingness to help us choose the perfect design and/or scheme for our home. (We interviewed 7 other Interior Designers before Elizabeth.) Always professional. Great ideas; showed us various styles for various rooms with specified colors and window treatments to match. Guesswork is taken away; meaning, we did not have to guess which style was going to work best in a particular room(s), we just had to pick the one we wanted. Overall, after 9 years in our current home, we still receive the highest of compliments from friends, guests and neighbors...a great feeling! Again, the scope of the work was for paint colors, window treatments and installation, furniture, accessories and space planning. Elizabeth does it all with great success!”

“We redid our kitchen cupboards by replacing new door and drawer fonts. We also replace the door and drawer fronts on our bathroom vanity. Jeanine was very helpful and stood behind everything she did 100%. I would definitely work with her again on any future projects. She went out of her way to assist us in every way.”

“I can't say enough good things about working with Martine, owner of Temescal Creative. I needed to transform my space, and Martine was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, kind, and helpful in redecorating and arranging my home. She has a unique attention to detail and knows how to simplify the process in order to make so easy to do and not intimidating. She's great about using what you already have instead of suggesting you change or buy a bunch of stuff, which is helpful if you're on a budget. Will absolutely work with her again!”

“Jennifer was great to work with! We completely renovated our Master Bedroom and Boys Bathroom and Jennifer did the entire plan and was there to implement it over the course of the complete project. We really loved Jen’s suggestions in terms of what she picked out for us, and she has an amazing eye for color. She put together the plan, ordered all of the materials (tile, mirrors, bath, fixtures, window treatments, etc.), then helped our builder make sure it was all installed the way we wanted. Perfect partner from start to finish!! I would definitely work with her again and recommend her to anyone who needs help with their home project.”

“Hiring Valia Design for our new construction home was HANDS DOWN the best decision we made through the whole building process. With all the overwhelming decisions and extensive details needed to accomplish our dream home, Dana’s personable approach and natural gift for design made it exciting and a truly enjoyable experience. Working with Valia gave us the confidence to step outside the box and the reward of our beautiful home with the distinct designer’s touch we have always wanted. We can’t thank Valia enough for helping to make our dream come true and so much look forward to working again with them in the future!”

“I couldn’t have found a better partner for my project! I came into the project with scattered ideas and a limited sense of what would actually work for my house, and Julia managed to take everything I said and come up with a design I love. Wanting to still make sure I was making the best decision, I spent time on my own considering variations on the design, only to come back to Julia’s plan every time. I’m really impressed with the way she figured out what to do with the space so quickly, all while showing that she actually understood what I wanted (without just stopping at the surface of my request) and that she could balance her sensibilities with my own. Design sense aside, she was also a great project manager — she always kept the plan moving, responded quickly to my messages, and sent me messages that showed she had my project on her mind and cared about it. I’m SO happy with the design and I know I wouldn't have gotten here without Julia.”

“My daughter is getting married in September, we wanted to do some updates but we didn’t know where to start. Thank God for Nicole, we’re in love with our house again. From choosing the right paint, beautiful countertop , backsplash to modern furniture . Highly recommend”

“Mallory was a pleasure to work with. I loved all her ideas! We will defiantly be hiring her again and recommending her to all our friends.”
