“Within minutes of entering our new home for our initial consultation, Amy was able to navigate through our pile of collected treasures, gain a clear understanding of our style, and find a color scheme that we absolutely love. We hired her to design our living room and it is now our most favorite place to spend time in our home. She is quick to respond to any questions or concerns and has been a pleasure to work with. We will be hiring her again to help us with our master bathroom renovation.”

“I have retained Karen Cronin on three significant projects. The most recent project was the move from my primary residence(4000 ft.² plus home) in South Jersey into my current residence (large two bedroom apartment at the Ritz residences in Philadelphia Pennsylvania). I am a divorced father of two. I own and run my own business. I work long hours and travel extensively. Bottom line-in a move like this I needed a tremendous amount of help, and based on my previous experience with Karen I had every confidence in her abilities. She exceeded my expectations. On the front end of the move Karen took responsibility to vet and retain movers. She supervised and coordinated the packing of my home, and the move. A stone the size of the home and the amount of furnishings very little was used in my new residence, which required that belongings and furnishings be donated or stored. Karen handled all of this. She was on site for the move out of my South Jersey residence, and coordinated with the building Philadelphia to handle the move-in. She had everything planned well in advance and it ran like clockwork. Because I was moving into a totally different style and size residence, Karen needed to completely design, furnish and accessorize my new residence. This required her to spend considerable time in advance designing, measuring and providing the options based upon my taste and pricing parameters. This move encompassed everything from furniture, to art, lighting, kitchen appliances, etc. Karen furnished and designed for the foyer, living room, dining room, family room and bedrooms. Karen coordinated with the vendors and my building to make arrangements for all deliveries and installation. She handled placement and timing of art. She worked with selected and vetted multiple vendors, including the movers, electricians, plumbers and carpenters. She has exemplary communication skills. We communicated multiple times daily. Based on our extensive experience together my trust in her judgment is absolute-yet, she took no steps without authority. I have absolutely no reservations about giving Karen complete access. She is completely trustworthy I have no reservations about recommending Karen Cronin. I can assure you I will be hiring her again. Completely dependable, the ultimate professional. Punctual. And, she has great taste. My place looks awesome. Constantly receive compliments. Can't go wrong with Karen Cronin!!! I would have no problem speaking with anyone considering Karen.”

“Working with Shila during the planning phase for my kitchen was invaluable. Her ideas allowed us to expand our vision for the room into the adjacent den to allow for a breakfast noon. She helped me work out many functional details that I would not have thought about prior. Many believe that you hire a designer to make a space "look" better but if you're working with a qualified designer like Shila you will learn quickly that she provides much more than that!”

“Nicole is absolutely amazing. I can't say enough good things about her and the interior decorating services that she provided for us. Nicole originally helped us in a historic home in Jacksonville. She was incredible at learning what we wanted, matching the neighborhood feel, and making the house feel just right. We then unexpectedly moved to the beach!! Nicole worked with us to repurpose our old furniture, adapt it to our new house style and make the PERFECT house sitting. We love, love, love the work that Nicole did for us. We're so grateful.”

“Kat has always given us written estimates that were accurate when job was completed. Her ideas are up to date and different. Good eye for symetry and patterns. Have not been disappointed yet. Our work is still in progress because we always find another project.”

“Often the difference in whether a property sells or languishes on the "for sale fence" has to do with how it is presented. Ellen Farber has been instrumental in polishing up my listings so they shine...she listens, has great taste...she'll evaluate your room, repurpose your belongings and elevate your project to a look that cannot be bested. As a realtor she is my go to designer for staging.”

“I hired Stella Ludwig in the summer of 2012 to design my great room area. Being new to area and it being my first time sharing a space with my significant other, I was overwhelmed at the thought of toiling through the vast amount of decisions that needed to be made. Stella was a breath of fresh uncomplicated air. From the moment she arrived, she helped to articulate each of our needs and brought harmony and much needed vision to our space. Her detail oriented mindset and persistent focus on efficiency made it so much easier to prioritize projects and our budgets. The results showcased a beautifully balanced space, that is both elegant and cozy. We are truly grateful to have found her.”

“I reached out to Johanna for help redesigning my basement. It was a little bit of a weird layout and we had a fairly large tv and lots of hand-me-down furniture. Our main goals were to have a fun hang-out space, while also creating more storage and kid-friendly zone. Johanna's insight on how to reorganize the space was exceptional. She gave us lots options along the way to make us feel like we were a huge part of the process and she was extremely understanding to our budget and design ideas. She helped us with all aspects of the design: from furniture to paint colors, to cabinet hardware, all the way to where to hang our pictures on the walls! Johanna's best qualities are her responsiveness and and expertise in all things design and functionality. I would strongly recommend reaching out for ANY design help! 12/10 would use Rooted by Design for all the rooms in my house!”

“Leaving a home I’ve lived in for nearly twenty-eight years isn’t easy, particularly when I’m leaving alone. Even moving to a new luxurious condominium wasn’t enough to offset the sadness and disorientation I was experiencing. There were too many unpleasant decisions to make about the dismantling of my home and too many challenging questions about various aspects of my future residence. When people asked me if I was excited about moving, I couldn’t even feign enthusiasm. It seemed perfectly fitting that the weather was miserable the night the Corinthian had its first official get-together for its current buyers. I almost didn’t go. Only curiosity about my future neighbors motivated me to attend. And, I’m so glad I did because that’s where met you, my fairy godmother. Though you’re much younger and more elegant than “Dorothy’s Good Witch”, in many ways your powers are the same. You have transformed my ordeal into a delightful project. With your input about what I should take and what I should supplement, I know how to proceed. Your ideas for placing furniture are more than just sensible: they are stylish and satisfying. When you talk about fabrics and colors, your genuine appreciation of quality and beauty is contagious. I would have to be made of stone not to feel your delight as a piece of furniture with the right dimensions, color, design, and texture emerges—or as a room with furniture, floor coverings, and window treatments takes shape. How do you do it? How do you make a client feel like a queen moving into a palace? Caringly and competently. It is not an accident. You obviously make a special effort to get to know your client’s needs, budget, priorities, and stylistic preferences. With your knowledge, experience and flawless taste, I know I can’t lose. When I’ve been hesitant about a particular suggestion, you’ve always found an alternative that had my approval, if not my blessing. During the past few months I’ve been working with you, I‘ve observed there is no such thing as impossible. If one idea doesn’t pan out, an even better one materializes. The most exciting moments are those when you announce the location of an elusive fabric or carpet or the solution to an annoying problem. You’re like the winner of a lottery. How wonderful that you should care so much! Every time I know you are coming over to discuss the décor of a room in my condo, my spirit soars. I can’t wait to get home. No matter how tired I am after a long day of work, the time we spend together is enlightening, productive, and fun! I feel as though you’ve given me a pair of ruby red shoes to help me accompany you down the yellow brick road. The closer we get to the unveiling of the rainbow, the more convinced I am of your wizardry. I feel confident that my condominium will not only reflect a harmonious compilation of my old life and my new—but also serve as a relaxing retreat and an exciting launching pad for the next stage of my life. Your expertise, talent, creativity, flexibility, reliability, warmth, and charm are just a few of your winning traits that make you a pleasure to work with and a joy to know. Thank you ever so much for your impeccable guidance, growing friendship, and 100% discount on my custom made ruby red shoes. Alexis F. Bala Cynwyd, PA”

“I hired Shana, SF Design Co., for several projects around my home. The first was my kitchen. Shana helped create my dream kitchen, moving my sink to the window area, creating a perfect triangle between the sink, oven, and refrigerator. Shana helped select each component from the cabinets to the flooring even the lighting. Shana helped me to step outside my comfort zone which created the kitchen I always wanted. The next project was my bathrooms. Shana took one large awkward bathroom and created two wonderful bathrooms. The first bathroom was my hall bath where Shana even thought of how to lay the tile to visually increase the size and added a window for light. Again Shana helped select the tile, flooring, and fixtures. For my master bath, which I never had, Shana helped to pick out Italian tile and shower doors that look absolutely beautiful. The last project was taking my unfinished basement to finished. Shana brought light into every nook by her design. I know have a bedroom down there with a window well egress, a game room, a laundry room, and a family room. Shana worked well with me. She creates wonderful ideas for each project. I receive compliments on my house all the time. I highly recommend SF Design Co and Shana. You will be delighted!!”
