From start to finish, they made the staging process simple, professional, and time efficient. I wasn't sure what to expect initially. However, I did have a goal, to sell the home as quickly as possible. Taking our goal into consideration, and listening to our needs, Kate deployed a swift plan of action. Her attention to detail was impeccable. The beautiful accessories Kate used throughout the home, paired with modern furniture and other design elements, brought the home back to life - a creative masterpiece. It truly was a stunning sight to see. I'm happy to report that the home sold quickly! Thank you, Interior Chicago for listening, caring, communicating, executing, and designing the perfect experience for us. If you are looking for a stager/interior designer, I highly recommend Kate and her crew at Interior Chicago.

Kate is a creative genius - she completely revamped our apartment and successfully accomplished the…read moremission of taking a one bed River North rental and turing it into a "home." In addition, she pulled off the near impossible and organized our bathroom, kitchen and bedroom - it no longer takes me 78 mins to find my socks each morning. What truly makes Kate special is her ability to collaborate and come up with design and organizational solutions that sync with her clients personality and vision - she has absolutely no ego and is one of the smartest, kindest and fun people my wife and I have ever had the privilege to work with. It is without hesitation that I recommend Arranging Order - Kate and her team will exceed your expectations!

I had such a wonderful experience with Habitar when they updated my kitchen that, after recently…read moremoving, I decided to use them again to add an electric fireplace and shelving to a blank wall in my new living room. Their work did not disappoint! The designer was so helpful in transplanting my vision into a beautiful design plan within my budget. The workmanship is excellent and the workmen that did the instillation and painting were professional, diligent, and friendly. Everyone at Habitar from the owner, Mitch, to each person that works for him is helpful, thoughtful, and committed to doing good work. Having worked with them twice, I can confidently say that they are a delightful company to work with their work delivers beautiful results.

We were in London when Martins did the rennovations on our home. We didn't know exactly what we…read morewere coming back to. We opened the door . . . and walked into paradise. We felt like we were in someone else's home. Someone who had a lot more money than us! Martins isn't just a builder, or a designer. He's an artist. When you bring someone into your home to change it forever, you have to trust that person. When Martins came by for our first free consultation (something other people had charged us for), he stayed for two hours. He wanted to get to know us, and figure out exactly what kind of home we wanted. To say he cares about his work is an understatement! Other people we looked at charged us for that first visit, came in, took measurements, were out in 30 minutes, and then provided some cookie-cutter recommendations. Besides his off-the-charts talent, he is honest, flexible, responsive and easy and fun to work with... not to mention reasonable. He even provided us with guidance and recommendations to bring the overall costs down. If you're looking to do renovations on your home, that not only are beautiful, but also unique and specific to you and your family, your search is over. Martins Buka will not only deliver, but exceed your expectations!

Phone calls were returned and we always felt we were in the best hands. We remodeled our aunt's basement down to the studs and when the job was done, it was AMAZING. Highly recommended for remodeling jobs!

I had the pleasure of working with Melinda when I moved into my new apartment. I was essentially…read morestarting from scratch and needed all new furniture. I have an eclectic taste in furniture that Melinda was not only able to find great pieces for she was able to make them all work together. The aspects I found most useful were: * She found a custom furniture maker that not only saved me money, it was cheaper than similar store items, but I also got EXACTLY what I wanted. * She found very cool, chic multi-use furniture I didn't know existed * Melinda transformed my place from a white wash to a palette of subdued, exciting colors that enhance the vibe and pleasure of being home. * she's flexible on what she provides, she'll did anything from picking out paint colors to actually doing the shopping and even picked some items up from the store and delivered them. Melinda is the best! * She's is very sensitive to price considerations and comes up with options across the cost spectrum. * Melinda is very creative, she had ideas and suggestions that I wouldn't have thought of in a billion years. She incorporates so many elements seamlessly, like color, finish, texture, style. * She makes it fun and easy... not sure how, but she completely eliminates the stress and makes it fun! * I had a problem with some furniture I ordered, endless delays on delivery. Even though Melinda had finished my place several weeks earlier she got on the phone and a few days later I had my couches and a discount! Melinda took away every unpleasant aspect of the process and I actually enjoyed myself. And even better... I love my new apartment! So does everyone who sees it. I highly recommend Melinda.

However despite the ultra modern design of the apartment itself, and the beautiful views, it just didn't feel like home. I was referred to Melinda from Mistura Interior Design. I needed some major help with color and with furniture selection...and I had a pretty strict budget. Melinda walked in and immediately began to do an assessment of my apartment...her wheels were turning before I even said a word. She then got to know me and a little bit about my personality over some chai tea and scones. Melinda was able to re-arrange and mix some of my existing furniture with some new pieces...thus making everything look new. Then, with the right colors, my loft was transformed. I couldn't believe how warm and at home I felt after Melinda's work was complete. She transformed my loft in a weekend! I believe that the key to her amazing design is that she gets to know your personality...and bases her work off of each of her clients unique personality characteristics. Thank you Mistura Interior Design for transforming my loft. I highly recommend your work to everyone I know!

He helped me step out of my comfort zone and choose bold colors that look amazing. His suggestion on fixtures went perfectly with the colors and gave my new place a true home feel. He suggested a new paint from LA, tonestar, that is just brilliant. He knew the owner and I was able to speak with him about multiple questions I had in terms of color depth and lighting. He also suggested a fantastic painting team that protected my art and electronics while completing the job in a quick amount of time. Overall I can't recommend Brian enough, his knowledge, vision and ideas were outstanding and I look forward to working with on other areas of my home.
