MAS Design
Interior Designers & Decorators in San Rafael, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 September 2012
“We recently finished a remodel of our mid-century kitchen and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. Tony and Dawn are amazing and their eye for design is impeccable...what I was most impressed with was how detailed they were and that they listened to our needs. We wanted a kitchen that looked great but was also functional, and they delivered! My wife and I both work, so it was important to us to know that they were there to handle all the small details and be on site to work with contractors, handymen, etc. No doubt, remodeling a kitchen is stressful but Tony and Dawn were so accommodating and made the project much easier than it would have been otherwise. The final photo shoot was bittersweet -- everything looked amazing but we were a little sad the project was over since working with Tony and Dawn was such a pleasure. I can't recommend them highly enough. Check out the photos of the Chevron marble back splash in the Yelp photo album toward the end and also on their website.”

“I hired Kanika to do the interior design for my new rental apartment. Kanika worked very hard and produced an outstanding result. I love my new living space. Everything looks great, and very comfy.

“Tiffany has been a wonderful asset to our project. She provided samples and walked me through different color options. Her referrals for getting tile, blinds, and other finishes were fantastic. She helped us when we really needed it and gave us the space to make our own decisions. Even our contractor was impressed with the final colors! I've recommended her to my friends.”
Design Loft Company
Interior Designers & Decorators in San Rafael, CA
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.”

“Jen guided us through an extensive remodel and redesign of our first (and hopefully forever) home. We could never have done it without her. Jen spent time upfront to really get to know us and our desired style and then brought us incredibly creative and unique ideas that have made our home truly ours - one that is stylish but also suits the life of our family...and does not look like it's been staged or repurposed someone else's plans. On top of providing design support for nearly a dozen rooms, Jen also managed all the contractors and construction and painting work. Nearly four years later, we LOVE our home and continually get complimented on the design. We feel so lucky to have worked with Jen!”

“Very generous designer who made my tiny rental feel spacious and bright! So grateful for Jenn’s excellent list of recommendations she offered me within 24 hours after seeing my home. She helped me realize that my space doesn’t have to be or feel small by changing a few simple things such as, painting the interior, raising all the curtain rods to make my ceiling feel higher, layer cowhides on the cold tiled floor, moved my paintings around that made more sense to view, helped me find beautiful decorative pillows, dining table and chairs, and the most comfy modern chair and ottoman we all fight over to sit in and most importantly she suggested many choices to choose from to change out all the old dated light fixtures. I learned that investing in great curtains, sconces to lamp shades would be worth the investment since I can take them with me if and when I ever move. My home now feels spacious, fun and festive to visit and a whole lot bigger and brighter because I used every single one of Jenn’s innovative ideas. Loved her smart suggestions and felt she respected my small budget and made it work besides making my cozy place a place all my friends and family love to visit. I highly recommend Dreamlife Designs, your dreams will definitely come true if you choose to work with Jenn and her team. Mary A. (Mill Valley, Ca.)”

“We worked with Sarah over a two-year span to update the furniture in the living room, dining room & bedroom of our home; to select new paint colors throughout the house; and to completely remodel two bathrooms. She helped us achieve a more clean-lined transitional look for our 1903 home, with beautiful results. The kitchen will be next! Sarah's meticulous attention to detail, her eye for color and fabric, her willingness to search out the perfect choice in any situation are all remarkable. She was a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Sarah!”

“I hired Amy to help me furnish my living room, dining room and master bedroom. It was a terrific collaboration and I am very pleased with the outcome. She was respectful of the pieces we had acquired through family inheritance and graciously worked around those to integrate them into a fresh yet traditional style that exudes personality. She is organized, responsive and has exceptional taste. She knows when it is worth it to invest in a signature piece and when you can "get away' with something more reasonable priced yet very attractive. I had a lot of fun working with Amy and highly recommend her services.”

“Jane Ellison did a wonderul job refurnishing our family room. Prior to her work we spent little time in it and now it is our favorit place to be. It is warm, inviting and comfortable. Guests marvel over it. She is very comfortable to work with and she makes suggestions but does not push what she thinkgs. She has a pleasant way of drawing out of from us what we would like but are not quite able to define. My wife and I highly recommend her. ”
