She is a great…read morelistener and she really understands your personal style desires before she gives you suggestions. She has never led us astray, and quite the opposite, has delighted us with her great ideas and awesome creativity. My husband is THE PICKIEST because he is a graphic designer and he trusts Beth's taste. That's saying ALOT! One thing I really appreciate is how Beth is willing to work within our individual parameters. Currently, we have been buying furniture piece by piece (instead of doing an entire remodel/room at one time), which might annoy other designers, but Beth sees and articulates a vision for us and is patient with us on our *decor* journey. Recently, she had the absolutely brilliant idea to repurpose a piece of vintage furniture (very sentimental to us), giving it new life and making it relevant to our home's modern decor. No kidding ... I smile every day when I look at it. We plan to do a major remodel in the next year or two, and I will definitely be using bdhomesf to coordinate construction, finishes and interior design. Can't wait to work with you again, Beth!

She patiently transformed my free-form ideas into 3-D drawings and helped me fine-tune the kitchen plan to make it visually pleasing as well as functional. Moreover, she's a pleasure to work with--a necessary requirement when working with someone to plan something as intimate as your living space.

We took over a beautiful but dated space and I had some ideas and requirements of what I was hoping for in the space but having a hard time imagining what it could become. Marion was very attentive in going through every aspects of the design and providing her own professional opinion to enhance & tie in my thoughts, she then took the key aspects and transformed it into an incredible  visual representation of the space! Even the initial 3D rendering blew me and then working with her on bringing it to life was such a breeze. She helped with decisions big & small, made sure all aspects aligned with our brand vision, suggested fixture and furniture and also provided alternatives that were also on brand when there were budgeting constraints. With her extensive experience in visual merchandising she also worked on transforming our window & internal displays into works of art. I was so impressed by her attention to detail and pointing out various aspects to look out for which not only resulted in a beautiful outcome but saved so much time and effort that would've otherwise been wasted on redos. Our customers have been loving our new space all thanks to Marion!

Bait and Switch That…read moreis what my friend called it when she became indirectly involved in a situation I had with Kelly. In late July Kelly was closing her interiors shop on Chestnut Street. She was having a closing sale with items from her store significantly reduced. I peeked in the window and saw two tables I was interested in and left her a message as I was looking in the window. I re- attempted to call her many more times since I was leaving on a vacation in several days after, and wanted to settle on the tables. Of course, luck would have it, she didn't return my call until the day I arrived in France. I immediately called her back from France and explained I was interested in the "dining table" and the round "side table". She told me she thought they were on hold for someone but would get back to me if not and we could work something out. She told me the dining table was $400, and the other $200. She ultimately let me know they were available and after discussing the dimensions of the dining table, and reassuring me that it was large enough to use as an eating table I told her I wanted that one, although I liked them both. I explained In was out of the country and could send her a deposit but I would return in a week to pick it up. The conversation pretty much centered on the dining table so I don't know where the confusion set in later. She said that was not possible, she needed full payment and needed to get the table out of the store asap since she was closing and was being charged rent each day she had items in the store. I called a friend and arranged for her to pick up the table asap. So, I thought all was well until I came home to find that my friend had been given the small round table she quoted being $200, yet I paid $400 and was expecting the "dining table". I didn't think to tell my friend exactly which table because I verbally settled on the dining table with Kelly, and she seemed like she was on it. I called Kelly asking what happened and she said she couldn't remember, that there were alot of people in and out of the store buying things, but that the "dining table" was now $1000! She refused to acknowledge her agreement with me previously and played dumb. She went on to tell me she had it appraised at $3700, and that she didn't want to "give it away". SHe tried to make a deal that I could have it for $1000 with a $100 discount. I really didn't know what to do. I though she pretty much realized she didn't want to sell it for what she agreed and took advantage of the situation when I was out of town. I couldn't afford $1000. She wouldn't even give me money back on the small round table I had in my posession. To make matters worse, the "dining table" sat in her closed store for months(what happened with her needing to get it out of there) and even when construction was going on with new tenants, had cans of paint and tools sitting on it. Ultimately, she gave it to someone else (who I asked one day when walking by the now real estate office) and the person didn't think she paid over $1000 for it. Kelly seemed like a nice person and was pleasant on the phone but I guess she only treats those clients spending $1000's of dollars in a more professional way. I really didn't want to say anything bad about her here, but the entire situation has really bothered me, and I walk by that store almost every day where the table sits. So, if you choose to do business with her, just make sure you know what you're getting.

Well, I personally had a truly amazing experience with Kelly…read more I had the pleasure of working with Kelly Keiser Splendid Interiors and her team of young, fresh-faced designers while redecorating my house in the Oakland Hills. Kelly did a full re-design of my home including paint selection, space planning, lighting design, custom draperies, custom furniture design and of course, fabulous accessories and art. (we even did a bar cart!) She also spent a significant amount of time in the beginning phases of the design process helping me determine my personal design style, which I now feel confident about. I believe this is a long term relationship, and the team at KKSI will be with me for many years to come. I hope there are others who have had as good of an experience as I have had! My house is beautiful and it puts a smile on my face every time I walk in the door.

She was phenomenal when dealing with all the contractors and suppliers. She kept the project on time and within the budget. How many people can say that about a major renovation?) Interior design on 4 houses including all furnishings, window coverings and rugs (her taste is impeccable and she really set my homes apart from any I have ever seen). Art Acquisition (This can be a tough area to match up your taste with you hers but she does it beautifully.

Rosi has become a dear friend and we thank her for helping us create a home we absolutely love!…read more Rosi worked with us over a few months this summer and fall to renovate a 4BR home we purchased in the peninsula. We had some idea what we wanted to do, but no way to execute and ensure we wouldn't make costly mistakes or bad choices. That's where Rosi came in. Her vast experience, vendor relationships, design expertise and creative eye helped us figure out how exactly to plan and design each space. She helped us redo our kitchen to maximize space and impact. She kept on top of all the details- where the island should go, what configuration of cabinets would work with our needs, what kind of slab and how much we would need. She connected me with the right vendors to price out sinks and lighting. She also designed all of our bathrooms with distinctive personalities, choosing delightful tile choices, functional and unique vanities and hardware. For our master bath, she provided designs and helped us totally reimagine the space including the shower. When it came time to pick furniture, she was instrumental in pulling together a cohesive look and helping me find pieces that work for our space and our needs. She did all this for us during the pandemic! Collaborating with her virtually was easy. She is responsive and cares as deeply about our project as we do. She is also just a really wonderful person, with a sweet family and business she runs herself. I whole heartedly recommend Rosi!

I was pleased to see that her ability to deliver on a budget carried over, but I was even more impressed after working directly with her on our project. Rosi worked hand-in-hand with my wife to design our nursery, upgrade my office, update our master bedroom and generally add accents and art to our whole home. The results were great and we are very happy, but Rosi was very professional and always conscious of our budget when making recommendations. Here are the highlights of working with Rosi: 1. Budget. As mentioned above, Rosi finds solutions that are creative and economical and doesn't try to push high priced items on her clients. Rosi's design fees are very reasonable and competitive. 2. Organization. Rosi is very professional and created a spreadsheet at the beginning of our project so that we could track costs and delivery items (including tracking info) for all the items she purchased for our home. 3. Communication. Rosi listens to her clients and allows their personal style to come through while also making helpful suggestions. She's very responsive and always available to answer questions. 4. Fun. My wife very much appreciated Rosi and she made the process fun instead of stressful. I would highly recommend to Rosi to anyone in the future!
