“Eric was excellent at helping design my home. he was great at configuring all the furniture from sizing to finding the perfect spot. He has this special computer program that creates a 3d image of each room, thats helps to picture it all perfectly.

“I have been working with Jennifer from The Old Painted Cottage since 2011. I had been a faithful blog reader (http://theoldpaintedcottage.com/) and admirer of her style for a long time before getting the courage to contact her to see if she would agree to a design consultation to help me revamp my living room. My husband and I had recently moved into a 1960's ranch - that still looked like it was from the 1960s! I was so frustrated with trying to "design" my house on a budget and getting nowhere – I desperately wanted and needed help. I kind of knew what I wanted to do and the styles I admired, but I had no idea whatsoever how to create it on a realistic budget in my own home. I hired Jennifer to teach me how to beautify my living room. And oh boy - I cannot say enough about how absolutely wonderful it was (and has been since then) to work with Jennifer! After sending her the dimensions of my living area and images of living rooms I loved (many of them here on Houzz), we scheduled and had a phone consultation and OH.MY.GOSH! Jennifer's energy, excitement, ability to translate what I wanted to the redesign of my space - and all within my budget - was incredible! One of the most amazing things about Jennifer is that she patiently taught me many interior design secrets that I never knew but have since been able to apply to my whole home (e.g., hanging drapes higher than the top of the window, displaying décor items in threes, adding pops of complementary color, etc.) Needless to say, it is 2014 and Jennifer has let me hire her to design almost every room in my house! Since 2011, I’ve had two babies and she helped me design both nurseries. Jennifer also helped me revamp my master bedroom, TV room, and the sunroom! Currently, we are doing a whole house consult on a little lake cabin my husband and I recently purchased. Overall, Jennifer is a consummate professional, her fees are ridiculously reasonable, and she is able to “get into a space” and transform it simply by looking at before photos. Jennifer is a gem! I could go on and on about Jennifer…(and I hope to meet her in person one day soon!)”

“Christian is a genius! She’s highly creative and has a deep understanding of interior design. She has extensive knowledge about quality fabrics, high end construction details and her work proves just that. She walked into my space and knew exactly what to do with it. She guided me through the entire process of what I could expect and executed everything above and beyond. Exceeded all my expectations. She was meticulous for organization and communicative every step of the way. A bonus is she’ll have you laughing the entire time.”

“Not only does Ava and Arlene have impeccable design taste. They will handle everything from the idea phase, to hiring the proper General Contractor, subs, over seeing the entire process and being present at the job site during the work. They did everything from A to Z. They made redecorating my home a simple breeze. From providing me my options and giving me the pros and cons of each option with various cost estimates made it easy for me to make a comfortable informed decision on every step of the process. They are extremely flexible with their service. Their contractors are also professional and very neat. They clean up after every job and make the process very convenient. The outcome turned out better than I expected and I am a very satisfied customer.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 July 2022
“Sarah is a special talent. She took what can best be described as a “project” and turned it into a beautiful home. She entertained my thoughts and opinions gracefully, even when they may not have deserved it, and helped educate me in a way that made me feel involved while guiding me to make structural, design, furniture and accessory choices that reflected my style but in a way that made it shine! You’d be lucky to work with this talented, talented woman!”
Emma DeRoche Interior Design

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 September 2016
“Emma DeRoche is a dream to work with! She and her Design firm take the time to truly listen and help bring your thoughts, feeling and vibes to fruition. This made a huge impact during our process because I knew what I wanted in terms of tone and ambiance but couldn't always articulate it. Emma dialed in and took the lead while staying true to what I wanted. She is defiantly not a paint by numbers designer, rather a patient, savvy and refreshingly creative soul that will not only help create you space but elevate it in the process.”
