We met with Lisa to discuss ideas on remodeling our 1990s-era bathrooms because we were unsure of how to proceed. Lisa was able to present us a new vision, rescaling our plans and saving us a significant amount of money while still achieving our goal of creating an elegant, updated look and enhancing the function of the spaces. The savings on our bathroom remodels will allow us to embark on other redecorating projects that we thought were beyond our reach. We are thrilled! Lisa has amazing insights into melding function with beauty, and she has an appreciation of and respect for collectibles and antiques, and how best to display them to tell our family story. She has extensive resources to help us realize our vision. We are looking forward to continuing to work with Lisa to enhance our entire home, thereby enriching our family life. We are so pleased to have her as our guide in this journey! Kristine W.

It was extremely important for my husband and I to find someone who understood our style and what…read morewe were looking for although we had no way of explaining it other than saying, "We just want it took look nice and have a wow factor to it." Believe me, We've said that to plenty but no one could grasp what we were trying to say. Shawn has skills and talent that not many designs have. Let me not forget to mention patience. I couldn't explain my style to him, I just know when I see it if I like it and I get overwhelmed by too many options. Previous designer I've dealt with in the past had a certain style which served no purpose to me at all because it wasn't mine. However, the moment Shawn walked in and after a few moments his super powers kicked it and he got to work. He was skilled in asking the right questions to determine our style. Once he had the idea he knew how to present enough options without being too overwhelming. He understands aesthetics. Delivery was on point and everything he designed and recommended 100% matched our style. He's very knowledgeable and well connected. He thinks outside the box and explained materials, fabrics and lighting to my husband and I and how they work in a way we've never imagine. We had no idea about up lighting and why this material will compliant that fabric and this wall color goes with that color or this wall paper needs that kind of lighting. He explained the why behind certain concepts which was helpful to my husband who is very analytical. Absolutely talented and the outcome of our project left us speechless. He told us to trust him, which we did and he exceeded our expectations and did it all within budget. He was respectful of both opinions and styles and able to come up with options and designs that was the perfect blend of both our taste. Every fixture, all furniture pieces, wall covering and even the accessories he's chosen are absolutely amazing. It looks as if we spent a fortune but he stayed within budget. He had access and knew where to find all of our furniture, upholstery and wall paper. I wanted a white piece of furniture but I have little ones. Shawn, made my dream come true and was able to find the furniture also with kid proof fabric. Now, I have that look I wanted and not be afraid of my kids destroying it. He knows his product and I can honestly say he has perfected his craft. When we come home it feels like we live in one of the homes from HGTV.

She texted me a few days prior to confirm the appointment and arrived on time. She took time to take measurements and talk about the closets and figure out what my needs were - and she was not pushy at all about making the sale and just gave me all the information I needed to make a decision. I ended up going with a different closet system that I liked better but otherwise would definitely recommend Lindsay if you are interested in getting some custom closets done!

Her 3D computer program was helpful to us because it was compatible with our contractor's. I am visual and need to see how the design and colors come together. We went through their idea process and unfortunately, I don't think Sally ever really got our design aesthetic. We had a budget which initially she agreed the scope of work would fit. I think normally she would have been a great project manager, and since our contractor didn't have one, she had to spend precious $$$ time dealing with that. We started over a year ago and today we will receive the final piece of furniture we ordered. I personally had to source numerous items, kitchen lights, couches, tile, rugs, furniture refinishing, upholstery, and this last item was a lamp, which she told me she couldn't get. She appears to use limited suppliers and doesn't decorate with any ready-made items, including furniture you already have. There was a lamp we had on order for over a year, and she informed me a week ago that they could not get it. I went online and found it in ten minutes. I called the company to be sure it was in stock, and they said yes and shipped it. I also found out that she special orders everything, so it is custom, and if you receive it and don't like it, you are still stuck with it, even if you were trusting her style sense that it would work in your space for the purpose you intended, and then it doesn't. She is talented professional but very expensive and she rarely communicates personally by phone or in person. If you have an unlimited budget and time, she will be a good fit for you.
