“Gretchen is wonderful. I had been wanting to re-do my living area but was afraid to hire someone and afraid to do it myself. By extreme fortune, I found Gretchen. She tapped into my inarticulate needs brilliantly and came up with a truly lovely design that made all my previous fears disintegrate. She also made the process of implementing the design pretty painless. She is a gifted artist and real professional - and yet, worked smoothly with a rank amateur. I LOVE everything about my new living room and dining room. Thank you, Gretchen!”

“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.”

“Courtney and I have worked together on several projects. During our time collaborating, it is clear Courtney has the unique ability to turn concept into reality! Courtney always has her eyes on the client's she works with, I would highly recommend partnering with Courtney on your next project, she is a ROCKSTAR!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“My family had a great experience with Jessica! (Jessica Catherine Designs LLC). We recently moved and we knew we needed help decorating to make our house into our home. The process was very easy. Jessica came to our house and took pictures and measurements. We discussed our style preferences and general price points for our decor. Then she was able to email us pictures of our actual home with all of the design elements that she selected, photoshopped into the pictures. She also provided links to all of the pieces so we could go directly to the website to look at each item in detail. This was super helpful to help us visualize what our newly designed space would look like and helped to give us the peace of mind that we knew that we would love the pieces she selected. She also included a couple of options for various items like area rugs or curtains which gave us some flexibility and helped us feel more comfortable with our choices. Jessica was always available to answer any questions we had along the way. We would definitely recommend using Jessica to help decorate/design your home.”

“We hired McGrath Designs to redesign our living room. The room was very difficult to decorate because of numerous doors and windows, additionally the furnishings we had were outdated and bland. Krista brought back a plan that made the room work by moving 2 existing windows and adding a third thus giving the room a symmetry it didn't have before. Krista worked with us throughout the selections of rugs, chairs, sofa, tables and window treatments. For us, we know what we like but have trouble with the vision of pulling it all together and having it work! Krista has a very good eye for what works and listened to what we wanted and brought back a good selection of options in every category. We love how our room came out and highly recommend McGrath designs to anyone in need of an interior designer.”

“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”
