Hållbar design i Churchton, MD.

“The interior decorator gave great advice on the color scheme and lighting to be used thru out the house as well as the types of furniture that would fit in each room.”

“Hello, I just wanted to say that Danielle was very patient dealing with me. She gave me so many options to choose from every time I came back with a new idea. We loved everything she showed us from the first talk. She’s the best in the game. I highly recommend her for interior design needs”

“We worked with Gail to design our house in Annapolis. She was very professional and listened to our ideas to create that unique feel for our home. im very pleased with her work - materials she used (paint) was not toxic, and her design was very intuitive. I can say that our renovated home has that great energy flow feel. We love it and our dogs live it too!!! Hopefully will work with Gail on our house in Florida too!!!! Thank you, Julia and Ron”

“Where to begin with my comments about Cathleen Curtin, the positive side, or the negative… well, that’s easy! There is no negative, so here are the positives!! Having scaled down a good bit from a larger home, and now residing in my interesting apartment in Old Town, Alexandria, I needed to make improvements and changes that would make this small place my haven. It began with getting bids on a bathroom renovation. Having contacted other architectural services and builders in the area that I knew, I found that the recommendations (and the pricing) were all over the place, and I really couldn’t tell what they were going to do. I also felt that they were not listening to me regarding the need to connect the bedroom space and my master bathroom. From the minute I ran this idea by Cathleen, she “got me” and she listened to me and she responded quickly. Within a couple days of our first meeting, she was back to me with a clear and concise overview and pricing. I was impressed with her level of detail, as well as her efficiency. And, this impression never changed thru out what became a much bigger project. Where the others all were going to expand my bathroom and take away space from my bedroom, Cathleen Curtin was able to give me all that I wanted, AND MORE, in the same footprint – saving money, time and probably a lot of unknown issues in this old building. Her creative use of space and layout resulted in a bathroom that I absolutely love, and others marvel at. Once deciding to work with Ms. Curtin, I realized that I felt safe and comfortable to do more of what really needed to be done to my living space. She gave me that comfort. Having had some experience with such projects in the past, it was knowing that she was not only the Architect, but also the Project Manager, that gave me the confidence to take this on. Always available for questions, and always quick to find solutions to issues as they came along, she drove this project hard and fast, and with a fabulous outcome. The project included not only the master bathroom, but a new laundry room, leveling the floors in my bedroom, insulation where there was none, built in cabinetry that eliminated the need for furniture in the bedroom, re-doing of floors, adding hardwood floors where they did not exist, brilliant storage cabinets, new lighting thru out, a life changing gas fireplace, creative kitchen solutions that make me love cooking again, a very special powder room, and so much more. I am thrilled in my new space – and enjoy it more than I ever dreamed possible. Cathleen was a joy to work with, a consummate professional, a willing ear, a great production manager, and attended to each and every detail of the project. On site every day, often several times, staying ahead of all contractors with selections and materials, and kept me informed with clear and consistent communication. Running a busy enterprise, I needed this style of professional oversight, and feel that not only did she give me a wonderful new home to enjoy, she gave me great service and great value in a time that we often do not get what we expect. With Cathleen, I got more than I ever expected!”

“I first met Gina when she was the designer for a friend's home and I loved what she did for them. I hired her to redo the bathrooms in my home in Maryland and that led to the whole house. You can tell that she loves what she does by the attention she pays to each detail of the project. Later I hired her to help me redo my house in Texas. I was a little worried with the house being in Texas but once again she did a great job capturing exactly what I wanted and paying attention to all details of the project. No matter where I live Gina is the one I will go to whenever I have a design project. Gina is a true professional and a joy to work with. Thru our working together we became very good friends and I have been working for her part time in the design studio and in the retail store "Details of Design" for the last eight years. Even though I live in Texas now I still go back to Annapolis occasionally to work for her.”

“We moved into our home and needed to design and paint almost every room. I work full time and my husband has no interest in these decisions. This just added to my already too long "To do" list. Carol was great! She knew I was overwhelmed and sat down with me to understand my tastes and what I wanted to do. She did not rush me but gently kept me moving forward. She transformed my bland home into a home I love. A home with beautiful colors, wonderful furniture and fixtures. One that I love to spend time in and entertain in. She really was my therapist!”

“Kimberly helped us select art for our apartment. She has a very good eye and is well connected to artists and galleries. She was extremely respectful of our taste and preferences and never pushy. She was very prompt and provided us with many options. She also introduced me to her framer and hung the art for us. She is a pleasure to work with.”

“I have worked with Capital Design for the past 20 years. Their ability to listen to me and my vision for a space and then interpret and elevate my aesthetic is nothing short of magic. No space is too large or too small for their problem solving and creative abilities. Capital Design has consistently come in on time and on budget over the years. Most importantly, they are an absolute pleasure to work with.”

“I have owned my 100 year old Victorian row house in Northeast DC for 12 years. The living room is rather rectangular with lots of angles and corners. Augh! No amount of furniture arranging could make it feel comfortable to me. My consultation with Aesthetic Answers resulted in two floor plan drawings. The consultation included color pictures of furniture and accessories for both plans. I loved both of them Amy asked lots of questions about how we used the room and our lifestyle, and the plans reflected that. Unfortunately, we were also in the middle of a kitchen renovation and haven't moved forward yet with our living room plans. But I highly recommend Aesthetic Answers.”

“Megan is extremely professional, knowledgeable and creative.' She has a great eye for design. Her follow up is impeccable too. She recently helped me select furniture, and accessories for my kitchen and gave it a fresh, updated look. It is exactly what I wanted. I would totally entrust her with any design project.”
