I initially had a great experience with Jaime Langer and genuinely believe she has strong design…read moreskills. However, my overall experience with her ended in deep disappointment and frustration. If you choose to work with her, do not let her refer you to Hummingbird HRD (Crystal and Brian Mansanares), as that is where everything unraveled. Jaime first helped me after a Christmas morning plumbing disaster, and at the outset, she was fantastic--quick to respond, knowledgeable, and actively engaged in creating thoughtful layouts. Because things seemed to be going well, we also hired her for additional design work in our kitchen and living room. But when she referred us to Hummingbird as the general contractor, she stepped away entirely, leaving us in the hands of an inexperienced team that led to an overpriced, incomplete, and poorly executed renovation. Where Things Went Wrong Jaime and Crystal turned out to be personal friends rather than longtime collaborators, and our home was essentially a "guinea pig project"--a fact Jaime admitted only after things had gone terribly wrong. The staggering lack of professionalism from Hummingbird resulted in months of stress, wasted money, and a home that remains unfinished to this day. After Crystal declared the project "done" (despite glaringly poor workmanship), I asked Jaime to see the state of things herself. She agreed with me that the quality was unacceptable and even apologized for how badly things had turned out. She admitted that Crystal lacked the necessary experience and recognized that we had been unintentionally used as a test project. To make matters worse, she also told me, "Wow, I didn't realize you were so detail-oriented--I would feel exactly the same." As if they thought they could get away with subpar work and I wouldn't notice--truly insulting. Jaime's Final Disappointing Choice To her credit, Jaime convinced Crystal and Brian to attempt to fix their mess, but she ultimately abandoned the project. Despite personally acknowledging all the flaws, she later sent me a completely contradictory statement: "I have every faith in Hummingbird completing the project as promised, and overall, I believe they have done an exceptional job." This project was supposed to take 4-6 weeks starting in March--it was still dragging on in November, at which point I cut ties entirely because it was no longer worth the emotional toll. To this day, our home remains unfinished and cheap-looking, a painful reminder of the stress and financial loss we endured. What We Actually Got for Jaime's Fees After paying her design fees for both the bathroom and kitchen/living room, all we truly received was: * Layout options * A recommendation for Hummingbird (which proved disastrous) * Help selecting a kitchen table and rug Had we gone with a different general contractor, I might be writing a glowing five-star review. Unfortunately, given how this played out, I cannot recommend Jaime Langer at all.

Just being in her presence inspired me to purge! Not only does she leave you with a practical and organized space, she takes your donations so they don't sit stashed away for weeks until you get the time or motivation to take them yourself.

You will appreciate working with Ashley and her team at Refresh Denver for any interior design…read moreproject--staging, a home refresh, or full-home furnishing. Ashley staged the home we purchased, and her work made such an impression that we hired her to design and furnish our new home end-to-end, from furniture to décor and everything in between. Ashley has a rare combination of taste, speed, and practicality. She found unique, beautiful, fun pieces we would never have discovered on our own, and she pulled them together in a way that feels cohesive, intentional, and welcoming. The furniture, rugs, pillows, artwork, lighting, and finishing touches all work together beautifully. She also has a real talent for blending styles--she mixed contemporary, mid-century, and antiques into a look that feels curated and elevated, yet still warm and livable. The final result feels expensive without being too expensive, and comfortable the way a home should be. Her sourcing was excellent and flexible: local stores, online options, and some standout secondhand finds at significant discounts. Throughout the process, Ashley was energetic, responsive, collaborative, and adaptable to our preferences. She made us feel like we were her number one priority even though it was clear she was balancing multiple projects. She's truly a joy to work with, and we couldn't be happier. We give Refresh Denver our highest recommendation.

Many years ago, we also had them reupholster counter stools to match our family room love seat upholstery. Their furniture is of the best quality, and can be customized as needed. The staff is very helpful in discussing our needs and helping us find the right products, providing interior design guidance as needed. We keep coming back because of the high quality and unique items we find there. Every time we browse the showroom floor, we find treasures that we just can't pass up. We desire a distinctly southwestern style, and D'Amore has had just what we need, every time. We have been frequenting D'Amore Interiors since they were located on the I-70 Frontage on the West side of Denver. I guess that must be close to two decades! When they moved to their current location, we found them promptly, as we needed some leather dining room chairs! If you want to replace the high pressure furniture shopping routine for a great furniture shopping experience, including honest staff and prices, and fine, unique pieces, I highly recommend D'Amore Interiors.

The patio furniture was old, worn, and sun-faded, which detracted from the home's appearance, and my request for a refund on that portion was denied. The indoor furniture was also very taste-specific and not what we felt would appeal to our target buyers. Communication could have been stronger, as removal timing was unclear, and I was surprised to have to vacuum and clean up after both the installation and removal. Overall, I was disappointed by the furniture choices, lack of collaboration, and the feeling that we had little input despite making a significant investment in the service. Response *We had countless vendors involved in preparing the home for sale, so the staging was just one part of a much larger process. The home was also located in a highly desirable neighborhood that is difficult to get into and features protected mountain views, so we already anticipated strong buyer interest and a relatively quick sale. While we did receive positive feedback on the home itself, that feedback was not specifically related to the staging. In fact, we also received some negative comments regarding the staging, as the furniture selections felt very specific in style and not broadly appealing. We were also expecting an initial consultation meeting, but instead only an assistant came to take photos and measurements, and left. There was no discussion of the staging plan, furniture selections, or overall vision, so both my realtor and I both came for nothing, really. Because the home sold within two days, I did not fully realize how worn and old the patio furniture was in time to act, but given that I had no input into the furniture that was brought in, I felt it was reasonable to request an adjustment for that portion of the staging alone since I had specifically requested it and didn't realize that any staging company would use furniture that looked so rough. Had I known what would be used, I would have just used my own patio set. My disappointment is not personally, but more with the process itself. For the cost involved, I had hoped for at least some opportunity to provide input or have concerns addressed fairly, but it all seemed. very lop-sided. Ultimately, it was an expensive service that did not feel collaborative, when it is still our home, so it is not a process I would not choose to repeat with this company.
