Once my wife and I purchased a new home in NW Austin we knew we were going to need help. We wanted our new home to reflect our style. The problem is that sometimes you have good taste but struggle to put it all together. I called Jill and she sent us Kelli Presses, a member of the Nine Design team. She is fantastic! Kelli arrived at our new home, took a tour, and immediately started listening to our thoughts regarding our aesthetic. The first thing Kelli did was help us rearrange our furniture in our living room. We spend most of our time in this room and she nailed it. Over the course of a few weeks Kelli helped us transform our entire house. From room layout to paint color to window treatments to accessorizing. My favorite thing about Kelli, besides her gift of design, was that she understood our budget and never pushed us to spend money unnecessarily. As a matter of fact, there were a few times she offered "do it yourself" ways of saving money for the same result/impact. We're now in the final stages and our house looks amazing. We love to entertain and our friends and neighbors are blown away by the transformation. We give Kelli and Nine Design all the credit. Call Nine Design if you have any design needs. We needed help with our entire house. You may only need help with one room. Or maybe you need a color consultation for painting. They do it all.

We had a fantastic experience working with Lynne. It goes without saying that we are overjoyed with…read moreour kitchen--the look, the functional design, and the incredible amount of storage she was able to create from thin air. But what was truly exceptional was the overall remodel experience. Don't get me wrong, kitchen remodels are never fun, but I can't imagine ours having gone any better. Lynne really listened to us during the early-stage design process. We knew what we wanted (storage, more counter space, more light, etc.), but we had no idea how to get there. Lynne came up with multiple options for us and continued to adjust things until we got it just right. She refused to schedule our model until she could guarantee that she had everyone who was going to work on it lined up, so our kitchen wouldn't languish half finished while the cabinet installer, for instance, was busy on another two-week project. To that end, she went above and beyond to keep everything on schedule--even when we discovered our ceiling had to be structurally reinforced before we could move on, or when we found live electrical wires in our walls that had to be taken care of (eek). In both of those situations, it was possible to power through because Lynne only uses the best people--from the cabinet maker to the painter to the contractor, who was outstanding. They worked through the weekend and late at night as necessary--and happily, as everyone seemed to take pride in their work (including, of course, Lynne). Lynne is also a lot of fun, and incredibly responsive and patient. I must have asked her 15 times what the dimensions of our appliances needed to be. She could often answer questions like this via text message from anywhere, because she had the drawings memorized. And, importantly, while there were a few extra costs associated with fixing the ceiling (understandably, given that it was visibly sagging by about 2 inches in places), everything else was stayed exactly on-budget. We are considering sprucing up some other areas of our house at some point, and we will unquestionably have Lynne do the work again.

At times, I was a little nervous of the idea put in front of us, but once I let go of control and trusted the process, the end result was beyond my wildest expectations. Sarah pushed my comfort zone and asked me to try new things, assuring me that if we didn't like it, we could always change it. But there was no need. Everything she did was so beautiful and functional. What started off as a design for one room ended up being the whole house. I am so proud of my home and Sarah I can't thank Sarah enough!

I've never worked with an interior designer before, and the idea of paying someone to help me match…read morecolors was painful. So we hired Kari at Jerri Kunz as a last resort and at the 11th hour when I was at the deadline to make selections for our new house. I had lots of ideas but couldn't make any of the colors or patterns match. Our only regret is that we didn't hire her sooner in the process because she is not only great, but made things so much easier. I got an appointment with her quickly (within a couple of days) and she met us at our home. I handed her a bunch of photographs of home interiors I liked, pointed to a pile of about 50 tile and countertop samples and said HELP! And that's when she worked her magic and my headache disappeared. Within about 20 minutes she had the colors picked out for all the rooms. Same thing when it came time to pick paints - she opened a huge box full of samples and we had the paint selected in about 20 minutes. The paint, countertops and tile are already installed and they look great. I was hesitant to even hire an interior designer because I just needed a little help picking colors. I didn't want a full service project management team or a pushy designer trying to sell me services I didn't want. My concerns were totally unfounded. I told Kari what kind of help I needed, and those are the services I got. And her charges were very reasonable. Kari gives excellent advice, and she's been so helpful that we expanded the scope of the initial project and are getting her help with several other things. She's great and we highly recommend her.

The Best Staging in Austin! I called Jackie and 5 days…read morelater my house was staged. I wanted to list asap and she managed to squeeze me in between other clients. I told her the look I was going for and she delivered way above my expectations. My house was absolutely stunning. I had 5 offers way above asking and was under contract within a week of listing the house!!! She understood the neighborhood and the people who would want to live there. Her advise on which rooms to stage and which to leave empty was spot on. She adds so many extra details to each room that other stagers just don't do. Staging a house makes ALL the difference when selling a home. Jackie is much more than a home stager, she is clearly a professional interior designer.

Loved our experience with The Fix It Chick! Kristi and her entire team were wonderful: pleasant,…read moreskilled, top tier professionals. We were looking into a bathroom remodel and got 3 different quotes. We had the best rapport with Kristi but her quote came in higher than the others (not by a huge amount but significant enough for us to debate). In the end, since we'd had previous projects where we went with cost savings and then weren't 100% satisfied after, we picked Fix It Chick. Definitely the right decision! The extra cost she estimated at the beginning just proved her in depth knowledge of the whole project and the excellence they'd be providing throughout. All of her contractors were great and the quality of their work was amazing. We thought we had a good eye for detail but still missed little things she spotted during her various walk throughs to have her team fix. I also really appreciated her initial consultations. We didn't have a very specific design vision and she really helped bring our general idea to life, choosing a handful of options for us to pick from in regards to tile, furniture, lighting, etc. She even solved a big-to-me problem in our bathroom of wanting to have our laundry hidden. She found shelving that had pull out hampers that were seamlessly integrated and the perfect size. We will definitely be going back to Kristi first for any future remodeling projects!

We contacted Kristi and a few other contractors to get quotes and ideas for our main bathroom…read moreremodel. We are so happy we chose her for this project. Budget/Quote-- Entire project cost was very close (within a few dollars) of the original quote and completed within the expected timeline. The only hiccup was when one of the components significantly rose in price from the custom supplier during the 2 weeks since Kristi made the quote. She then found a similar product online for a price within our budget. Tradespeople-- Everyone who was here was respectful of our space (having to move throughout most of the house to reach the bathroom) and cleaned up after themselves. They did high-quality work, which Kristi inspected regularly. Besides that, everyone was friendly and made us feel comfortable. Choices-- We told Kristi we had some ideas for style and design, so she asked for some inspiration photos. This guided us through choosing every component. When we were unsure, we asked for her opinion to help us decide. For many things, like the exhaust fan, toilet, and wafer lights, Kristi chose for us and got us quality products she'd used before and saved us from Choice Overload. The end result-- We are so happy with the bathroom now. It is not only beautiful, but also so much more functional than before. Working with Kristi-- Some reviewers said it took a while to get an appointment for a quote. I'm 100% OK with that. It shows that Kristi has plenty of business because she's good at what she does. This was a significant project for our home. Waiting for the right thing is worth it. Beyond that, Kristi was in constant communication with us throughout every stage. I appreciated her organization, such as the materials list and overview of the work by weeks, as well as a rundown of what work would be done each day M-F. About 10 years ago I did another major bathroom redo at a previous home. The contractor did not do any of this. There would be days when no one showed up to do any work, we never knew what was happening, and we had to constantly reach out to him and ask what was going on. Doing a major project on your home is inherently stressful; however, working with Kristi greatly minimized it.

I was referred to Creative Staging By Design by my realtor because I needed to stage my condo. I…read morehad already relocated out of state so had to handle everything remotely, which made things a bit more challenging. I was also running on an extremely tight budget. Sheri at Creative Staging By Design was up to the challenge. Within a few days of her staging, I sold the condo! Her taste in colors and styling is impeccable. I have friends who have paid 10 times what I did for staging and theirs didn't look half as good as Sheri's work. She is truly an artist in interior design. Not only is she a master at her craft, but when I needed to have some additional items added for the comfort of guests (such as coffee maker, etc), Sheri was happy to get the needed items and set them up in the condo, and her fee was again, nominal. To further complicate things, I found out a week beforehand that the sale of my condo would be closing a week early! Sheri was able to arrange her schedule to pick up her furniture before closing (and after my guest had left, which only left 1 day in between). All in all, Sheri is an amazing person to work with; very prompt in her communication and willing to help out in any way possible, no matter how difficult the request. I will be recommending Sheri to all of my friends and family in the Austin area.

I really liked their customer service and the high quality of their cabinets. Unfortunately, as my house was getting close to completion, I flew in to meet in person to work on the kitchen project and they quoted me $66k now. I understand prices are increasing during the pandemic but not nearly triple. It looks like on top of the price increases, they may have counted the wrong number of cabinets needed for the project. I tried to work with them cause I wanted it to work out but ultimately, I would have had to make too many sacrifices to fit the budget such as not doing some upper cabinets and doing open shelving instead. In making these edits, they could get it down to $45k, still double the original quote and with too many sacrifices. If I calculate cabinets, counters, GC work, etc, the kitchen would be well over $100k. For that price, you should just go with a fully custom kitchen company. If I wasn't building a new house, building out a big pool and deck and all these other incredibly expensive projects, I would have liked to go with UB, but their pricing was more than I think I'd worth for semi custom
