“This is a great designer. She has wonderful ideas, color concepts and fantastic subcontractors. She is timely, conscientious and fantastic to work with. I would recommend her for projects large and small, commercial or residential.”

“Anna is a good listener, makes you feel very comfortable and easy to talk about ideas if you are unsure of what you wantand, at the same time adds her good ideas! The choice of colors, style and texture made my home exactly how I wanted, but I did not know how to get there. She has an easy going team of contractors that also works hard and on time.

“Christie is knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to work with. She helped me choose paint colors, fabrics, sofas, coffee tables, lamps and more for my mid-century modern home. I wanted to keep it simple, but warm and colorful. Christie struck just the right chord. She also introduced me to sources for furnishings that I would not have known about on my own and saved me from costly mistakes and do-overs. If you can find the right designer, your home will come together more easily. I feel so lucky to have found Christie.”

“We worked with Hartley & Hill Design to completely renovate and redesign our kitchen last summer. They were fantastic and we cannot say enough about how wonderful they were. We met with them and described the concepts that we wanted (functional and classic, keeping in mind that we like to entertain, but we have small children and a busy family life). They put together the design and sat down with us to explain their ideas very thoroughly and also run through the budget. They came up with a fantastic design that we never would have thought possible, incorporating very creative ideas, while still keeping in mind our budget as well as our personal preferences. It was a very collaborative process, with us being as involved as we wanted to be, but not feeling like we had to manage a project; they expertly managed the project for us! All of the subcontractors they hired were first class. The renovation was very well organized, there was consistent open communication, any hiccups along the way (as will happen in any project this size) were managed smoothly and effectively. Needless to say, we are thrilled with the end result. We can't wait to use them again soon to redesign our dining room/living room area. We would highly recommend them!”

“Our experience with Caryn Paradis was excellent from start to finish. We had an unfinished basement that we wanted to finish and didn't know where to begin. Caryn talked with us in detail about how we wanted to use our basement and then came up with plans that included all of our needs as well as ideas that we hadn't even considered but should have. She was able to design a space that incorporated areas for everyone in our family, including our young son--even a stage that could be pulled apart for use as couches when he becomes a teenager! Because we live in separate states, Caryn was able to do much of the work remotely with minimal visits to our home to take measurements, etc. She had finish samples sent directly to us quickly and walked us through the decision making process. She designed specific requests, such as a fireplace for my husband and a guest room/office area. Caryn paid attention not only to the aesthetics of the job, but also the practicalities, such as outlet placement and HVAC. She also included amenities such as a well-placed dorm fridge which will come in handy when our son is old enough to use the space as a hang-out with friends. All in all, the job was smooth, well-designed and surprisingly painless. Caryn listened to our needs and then exceeded them. We would recommend her without reservation.”

“Barbara has a masterful way with colors and textures. She can identify your desires and then turns those ideas into something truly imaginative and unique. Stays on top of the manufacturers so that your furniture or fabrics or rugs is delivered as soon as possible. She is genuine, honest to a fault, and generous with her time.”

“I called on Eclectic Design to design and install window treatments in my new office. I also asked them to arrange and hang wall art. The work was completed on time and on budget. The window treatments are just gorgeous and give my office an upscale and very professional look. Working with Laurene is wonderful experience. She consulted and collaborated with me through the entire process. In addition to being conscious of my budget, she really understands who I am as a person, as well as my business's brand. All of this is reflected in the final result. I couldn't be more pleased. My clients and other professional visitors to my office are impressed too! I highly recommend Eclectic Design Inc. for ANY interior design work, whether it's a personal home or commercial space. You will be as ecstatic as I am!”

“I highly recommend Julians Interiors for ANY design/decoration project. You will never be disappointed and I guarantee you will be thrilled with the results. The entire Julians team is professional, highly knowledgable and very creative. They have always met my deadlines and budgets and work well with all subcontractors. In fact I would say you should hire Julians before you are ready to decorate. On multiple projects of mine, Julians has worked with the main contractor/architect to make changes to plans and projects that made significant improvements to the overall design and function of the spaces. On one specific project in a guest house, I wanted to move a wall to make the room bigger. I was told that that wall couldn't be moved by the contractor. I brought in Julians to work with the contractor and Julie herself was able to explain to the contractor how to move the wall and solve the design problems this would create. The end result looked amazing. Julie is able to work with the most ornery contractor to make changes that improve the design and convince him that he made a good decision! She is magic! The money you spend hiring the professionals at Julians is worth every cent. There is so much creative energy that is spent on every design that you will be amazed how much attention you get. Julians is now decorating my third home. I would never use any other designer. My homes are completely different: New England center-hall colonial, 250 year-old farmhouse with separate buildings and a beach house on the water. The designs are completely different and all amazing. Projects Julians has done for me range from simple kitchen, bathroom and room updates, to complete kitchen rip out and redesign and gutting a 200 year-old cottage and rebuilding/redesigning it with only the original beams and fireplace standing. My only advice is TRUST Julie's design decisions. You will not be disappointed. If she says it will good great and is the right thing to do, it will look AMAZING and you will LOVE it.”

“I've worked with Catherine O'Brien on several home projects over the last five years and have always had wonderful experiences. Our most recent and largest scaled project was finishing my basement this past year. Whether designing a powder room, my kids' bedrooms or decorating a pool house, or creating the perfect basement space, Ms. O'Brien is a joy to work with. She's able to take the customer's ideas and make creative suggestions while staying within budget. She's extremely trustworthy and responsible and it's obvious she puts 100% effort into every job she undertakes. Prior to finding Grande Interiors, I had my share of awful experiences with designers. I always felt I was getting ripped-off, and/or pressured into buying furniture that really didn't fit my tastes. I can honestly say that this has never been the case with Ms. O'Brien. I would highly recommend Grande Interiors to anyone looking for a designer for any home project, large or small.”

“Our experience with Kimberly was truly excellent. She tirelessly devoted herself to our project and was dedicated to exceeding our expectations at every step in the process. Whether it's her careful and patient listening, her precise and timely communication or her thoughtful and creative execution, Kimberly was a joy to work with and is a true professional. Most importantly, our home is now more beautiful than we could have envisioned and the results are a tribute to Kimberly's style, creativity and hard work. We look forward to working with Kimberly again and recommend her to our friends and family without reservation.”
