As this will be my first listing, I wanted to be sure that I did everything right for my Sellers. So I asked Christine to help me. She LISTENS first! And then asks questions BEFORE jumping in with her suggestions. END RESULT: She gave me much more than I expected. She not only told me what to take out, what to leave in and where to place furniture, art and knick knacks, but she also made some very concrete suggestions on additional items that could be done for little to no cost. And one final note, she always keeps the cost in mind and does her best to maximize her client's investment. I will definitely work with Christine again on future listings as well as my own personal residence. Her sense of color and artistic arrangement are spot on.

Most people think that it costs a lot of money to hire a designer but it simply isn't true. You can…read morehire Christine for a 1.5 hour consult or more depending upon your needs. Her contractor and materials sources will save you time, money and heartache. Her expertise in all things design will cut your research and decision making time in half. The designer discounts you will receive are also an added bonus. We are type "A" do it yourselfers but are absolutely certain that we would not have achieved the same results without Christine's guidance. Her help has paid off in more ways than one. We received $85,000 above our asking price on our most recent home sale. With Christine's help we are now doing it right the first time without any costly mistakes or delays due to indecision. Her support throughout the stress of the remodeling process has been invaluable to us. She has our deepest respect and gratitude. Thank you Christine for being in our corner.

This was our first experience working with a designer, and now we will always hire one-…read morespecifically, Michelle Robertson of Changes Interior Design! We bought a 4000 sq. ft. house in North Scottsdale that we completely remodeled from top to bottom. We were feeling overwhelmed with all of the decisions we had to make early on and decided to look into hiring a designer to help us with the process. My husband was reluctant at first, but once we started working with Michelle, he quickly agreed that hiring her had been well worth the expense. She knew excellent and reasonable contractors, helped us to select finishes at all of the best places around the Valley, and was always available to answer our questions. She also had many creative ideas that we never would have thought of on our own. Michelle not only helped relieve a lot of the stress that always accompanies a major home remodel, she understood the vision we had for our dream home and helped us make it a reality. Once our house was finished and we moved in, we hired her once again to help us decorate it, and the result was fantastic! We always get compliments from visitors, and we have referred Changes Interior Design to several of our friends and neighbors. Michelle is prompt, professional, reliable, and honest. She is also energetic and fun! After working with her on our house, we came to view her as a friend. I think that is the case for many of her other former clients, as well. We truly can't recommend her highly enough. If you are thinking about hiring a designer for your home, do yourself a favor and choose Changes Interior Design!

Think you can't afford an interior designer? Don't be so sure. My husband and I bought some…read morefurniture (impulse buy) less than 9 months ago and have been sorry from the day it arrived. Funny how fabric on a 6-inch swatch looks totally different on a large sofa. After many arguments and fruitless hours looking for just an area rug, we were left with only three options. 1. Divorce with a custody battle over who had to take the furniture. 2. Take up smoking so we could accidentally set the sofa on fire. 3. Hire an interior designer. The least costly of the three. We went with the latter, and it was the best decision we could have made. I found Suzanne on a Google search, not the preferred way to find a designer, but we lucked out. She is flexible and will provide as much or as little guidance in the design process as you would like, anything from just a consultation on paint color to actually shopping for and purchasing the furnishings, the route we chose. Suzanne is fast, too. Within a week of getting our painting completed, she had purchased and arranged for delivery of all of our new furnishings (she also used what we had already bought). We were not allowed to see the room until it was completed, just like on HGTV. I used to think the shocked look on the homeowner's face was well-rehearsed, but my husband and I could not believe it was the same room! And although we had the option to return anything we did not like, of about 30 items she chose for us, which included everything from furniture and accessories to lighting and artwork, we returned one piece. And this is from someone who thinks they need self-check return lines. She was always mindful of our budget, which was probably pathetic by Scottsdale standards, but you can't tell by the finished project (I have posted a couple photos). She also offers redesign services, using your existing stuff in new ways. As for the area rug, we love what she chose. Unfortunately, so do the two destruction machines that sneak out every night to claw it. We're hitting PetsMart this weekend for devices to scare the crap out of them, wait I don't need that on the rug either! I'm sure the puking on it will come sooner rather than later.

She was excellent from start to finish, offering excellent communication, fair pricing and always arriving on time for every single appointment. She also provided amazing referrals for the work that was done. At her recommendation the construction work was performed by M3 Remodeling, they provided outstanding work at a competitive price. Work done included removing a wall separating two rooms, converting the fire place into a very eye catching feature, new floors, full master bathroom transformation, furniture for the entire home, new artwork and more. I am completely thrilled to have worked with Suzanne, and would highly recommend an initial consultation with her to see if her services can be beneficial.

Well, since I just found out my full name was used under a review I never wrote, I felt like I…read moreshould provide a real review. Guess Lauren doesn't keep her client's personal information safe by using last names in her spiteful way. First clue! Yes, our home remodel was in March of 2020, which was the start of the pandemic, and yes, the contractor that we hired in order to use Lauren as our designer was injured 2 weeks into our remodel. The issues we had working with Lauren had nothing to do with these two things. Also used a second contractor of hers that scheduled visits and did not show up 3 times in a row. He was hired by her as one of her recommended contractors by doing one project on her personal home to see if he did good work. Not the vetting process she proclaimed on her website. Definitely not the top notch contractors she proclaims. She charges a 10% fee if you use her contractor. Our original contractor admitted to having a higher up front fee because he would always like to provide a discount vs. coming and asking for more money. We didn't end up doing most of the work on the original estimate for multiple reasons, but Lauren was insistent on keeping her 10% of that original estimated fee. Contractor fees were much less, but she kept her fee. She offered for me to sign a non-disclosure and bribe me from not writing a bad review, but there is no reason not to let others know about her terrible service and attitude. I own 3 homes and have done multiple projects. Also realize that no project goes exactly according to plan. Never worked with someone so disagreeable, difficult to work with, and never admitted a mistake I could go on about mistakes that Lauren madd, but that would be a very long review. Look at most of her homes and notice that there are multiple of the same light fixtures, side tables, tile or laminate flooring, counter tops, etc. She claims to listen to what you want, but designs every house the same way. Since she is the one that posted mine and my wife's first and last names on Yelp, feel free to look up our contact information for more details. Never wrote a review until I found out my full name was in her remark. Plus, most of these positive reviews are her mom, assistant, and family. Thanks! Ryan
