Missy is a design genius! She truly has a remarkable gift in being able to look beyond what's…read morecurrently In a space and visualize what's possible. She has helped me rethink some very tricky design challenges in my older home. For example, I was not liking my dining room but couldn't figure out exactly why as I liked each piece but just it just didn't look right all together somehow. Missy brilliantly suggested the light fixture was too small, unremarkable and hung too high over the table. She suggested that changing it to something more dramatic that would make more of a statement would help bring the room together. I had never thought of the light fixture as being a problem. Really I had never thought of it at all, but sure enough once I made that change it was a dramatic improvement and led the way to me changing out one of the main pieces of art, getting rid of two side chairs and a putting a different side table in that looked good with the new modern chandelier. I love my dining room now! It's my eclectic style, but it's cohesive, and I never would have gotten there without Missy's consultation. She also just has great taste and such extensive experience that she has the perfect "eye", which allows her to quickly and with great accuracy nail the paint color or tile size that will look best, or warn you away from the problems you might run into with a particular fabric or an uncomfortable chair depth or a rug that's too small for the space.. She is also extremely practical in thinking about what will work with pets and kids. Missy really knows her stuff. It is great to see her getting so many accolades and industry recognition lately. Well deserved.

During construction of our home, we have interacted with several vendors and businesses and Liz…read moreCrider (HAD owner) is hands down the most unprofessional and inexperienced. We approached Liz because of her Google reviews, (which I now must question the validity of those reviews), and she was paid a deposit to design our whole home. In the span of over one year, Liz never requested a face-to-face meeting or video meeting to get to know our design style. She never asked us a single question either verbally or in writing about what colors and fabrics we like or what to avoid. She never asked if we had pets or children or how we will use each space. She simply went off on her own and designed our living room based on photos we pinned on Pinterest. The designs required multiple revisions and hours of our time to get it to a state where we felt we were just okay with. Then came the estimate. Liz submitted a bill of $18k for our living room, but would not provide any details on where the products would be sourced, what fabric would be used, warranty information, reviews, etc. We were expected to hand over that amount of money with no guarantees we would be content with the items purchased, and, she only allows two returns per room. She was also tasked with our primary bathroom, which turned out to be another disaster. She never made one trip to the house, and she asked us, her customers, to take measurements of the bathroom and provide them to her. Her initial designs for the bathroom were confounding. It was a mix of tiki bar meets the Golden Girls. Again, we went through the same exercise of hours of input to get a somewhat okay design. This is when we realized we were doing her job. She purchased all of the items, had them delivered to our current home, and charged us her design fee plus cashed in on her trade discount. In addition, she relied on us and our GC to pick up orders and I had to coordinate all deliveries. At this point, we decided to cut ties with her because it was obvious she was in over her head, we were handling all logistics and her design aesthetic was not in line with what we envisioned. Perhaps Dorothy or Rose would appreciate it. We were stuck with the items she purchased ($9K), and we discovered that ALL of the bathroom fixtures are various shades of brushed gold. None of the items she ordered would work and it was a waste of money. When approached with our concerns, Liz lacked the business acumen to listen to our concerns and make things right. She wanted to retain 100% of the deposit for the whole house even though she worked on two rooms. When asked why she never requested a meeting, she responded with "I don't make friends with clients". Making friends was never my intention, but creating a thoughtful design was. One last point to her lack of engagement is that to this day, Liz does not know my husbands name and refers to him by his gmail handle despite being on multiple calls with the both of us. Do yourself a favor and research/interview interior decorators before deciding to go with HAD. I really wish I had performed more due diligence. This would have saved me a small fortune and a good amount of frustration with someone that is in the wrong business. **Everything stated in this review is documented in email exchanges with Liz Crider.**

I don't know where to start but I will lead with "WHOA!" Leah and her crew transformed our newly…read morepurchased house into a family home. They were so professional throughout the design process and responded promptly to all my questions. As you may know, when you're having work completed on your house, the process can become unnerving because you want to know what's going on and you want to make sure it's done to your liking. But Leah and her crew eased my fears (and husbands) and never hesitated to provide an update when we asked for one. The accent walls in our living room, master and my son's room were designed with us in mind. And the style matches our swag perfectly! My 5yo loves his space as it fits his personality and I love it because he can grow with his big boy room. The pictures I've attached do not capture the actual beauty of our home (I've was told by family that have seen the space). If you're looking for a design team that takes pride in her work, and willing to put the customer first, I highly recommend Leah and her crew.

She's a consultant on all things getting organized. That said, the results are worth every penny. Stephanie, as I told her on our last session, was born to do what she does.
