    It was a great experience from start to finish. They took care all of the work and we are extremely happy with our fireplace.

    Our beautiful, new dry bar!

    When we first started shopping around for a small kitchen project, we weren't sure who to work with. It was our first home renovation project, and we did not know how to go about the process. We first went to a big chain hardware store to get some guidance, but found them to be unclear and Not personable. But then we luckily found Habitar Design and Strategem Construction, and the difference was like night and day! From the very beginning, Mitch and the Habitar's team really took the time to listen to us, and made us feel heard and understood. We actually began our project way back in January, but when the pandemic began, our plans were understandably put on hold. However, Habitar was just stellar at communication overall - especially during the early months of the pandemic, when everything was so confusing for all of us. We never felt out of the loop with Habitar. The design process was thorough, and they explained everything in as much detail as we cared to hear. We fully understood the cost of all of our options, and so we didn't have any nasty surprises at the end. It was really nice to not worry about potential cost overruns through the job. We explained to them that we wanted to try and stick to our estimated cost as closely as possible in order to stick to our budget. However, like with any project, things happen, and sometimes the estimate is exactly that....an estimate! After expressing our concerns, and knowing that we were on a budget, Mitch and his team intervened to make sure that we all arrived to an agreeable situation. The Strategem construction team was professional, courteous, and respectful in every interaction we had. And while they were working in our home, we didn't even feel inconvenienced - they made as minimal an intrusion as possible. Any problems that came up were quickly resolved, and the whole team worked to find solutions. The whole process felt extremely personal - the owner, Mitch, even came out to see the job, and left us a small gift as a thank-you for our business! We would whole-heartedly recommend Habitar and Strategem to anyone who needs renovation work. If or when we ever have more renovation projects, we look forward to working with them in the future!

    My wife and I purchased a brand new condo in 2018. Though the layout was perfect, the sterile walls were a blank canvas waiting for an artist. We found that artist with MacKenzie at Habitar. The impetus for our whole-house project began with the fact that the original wall paint was not only drab, but held onto every scuff, scrape, and wipe. Once MacKenzie showed us some paint colors (utilizing obviously higher quality paint than what was already on the wall), she asked if there was anything else we were interested in. The fireplace! What can we do about our boring fireplace? Well, once she threw ideas out for that, we had to hear more. Long story short, what began as a simple paint job for 4 rooms turned into a remodeled fireplace, new ligh fixtures, 23 smart dimmers, wall paper in 5 areas, new paint in all 4 bed rooms, 3 bathrooms, two living rooms, dining room, kitchen, and entryway. That is how impressed we were with MacKenzie's design ideas.

    Finished product, gorgeous

    We worked with Habitar Design to create our beautiful media wall from design to construction. Our designer was MacKenzie and she took our input and came back with several options to discuss. We landed on a great design after scaling back a bit to meet our budget. The construction process was excellent- super professional, clean crew and very communicative along the way. We are thrilled with the end product and get compliments all the time.

    Original wall before design was created

    I worked with Habitar Design (as well as their sister construction company Stratagem) to update a wall mounted fireplace to become a flush mounted fireplace along with a custom mantle. I also wanted to update our family room's TV wall to include cabinetry, lighting and shelving. Heather was my designer and she did a wonderful job. She listened to what I was looking for, took into account my budget and created a beautiful design. Lines of communication were always open which was very reassuring (as I tend to ask a lot questions). I felt very comfortable with her and the team. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for interior design services *UPDATE* My family room project is completed and I couldn't be more pleased. Exactly how it was initially designed is exactly how it turned out. I was truly impressed with not only the craftsmanship of the custom cabinetry and shelves, but also the addition of cool tech features (we have lights that I can easily control with my mobile device). Pictures uploaded with both before and after shots. This company doesn't disappoint.

    The new wall unit!

Natalia has been incredibly helpful in guiding us through big, impactful design decisions that are practical and thoughtful, while also keeping costs reasonable since we don't want to invest too much in a rental property. I also didn't want an interior designer to fully design every detail of the place. I wanted to be involved in choosing pieces myself, but have someone I could trust to advise me on whether things would actually work in our space, and Natalia has been perfect for that. I'll text her with questions about furniture purchases, design ideas, or even quick installation decisions when our maintenance guy is here, and she always responds right away. My husband is also very picky, but he has been genuinely impressed with her advice and with how our place has come together. I know Natalia takes on much larger and more expensive projects than ours, but I have never once felt like we were wasting her time. She has always been responsive, kind, and very professional. I highly recommend Natalia to anyone looking for practical, thoughtful design guidance that respects your time and budget. We'll definitely be working with her again on our next home project whenever we move.

Our house went from a typical suburban house to a high class home in a blink of an eye. Why I give 5 reviews? - Nadia offers a portal where the process is fully accessible and transparent. - Offers plenty revisions for the concepts she creates - Accepts several forms of payment - Sticks to the schedule - Fully managed the project, remotely and on site...including managing contractors for a worry-less experience for us. - Came plenty of times to location to supervise project, show us color pallets, fabrics etc... - Excellent choice of quality sources for furniture. - Stuck to budget and detailed us where every cent went. - Gave us an incredible experience throughout the process and was very kind and understanding.

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.

    On moving day the movers kept asking about where they'd be moving our couches, mater bedroom…read morefurniture, tables, etc in our new house. My answer was always pretty much the same- the basement! We basically moved our tiny city condo into the basement of our new house. And guess what that means...we need to buy a lot of furniture to fill up the actual house! I didn't even know where to start when it came to decorating my new house, especially with 2 little ones and a FT job. Just looking around all the empty rooms after we bought it really stressed me out. I decided what I needed was an interior designer. I reached out to a bunch of friends who had moved recently and did a bit of research on Yelp..and started making some calls. As soon as I chatted with Erin from EEB Interiors I knew I'd found my woman. It helped that my friend who was currently using her for a complete house renovation couldn't stop raving about her. On top of that Erin was super personable, professional and seemed to "get" the European decor I wanted for my house. It sealed the deal when I found out that her hourly rate was way below all the other designers I had "interviewed." Erin also passes on the majority of her discount for furniture to her clients, which actually makes up for the hourly fee we paid her. It's by no means a bargain to use EEB Interiors (let alone any designer), but I do feel like we were able to get much more quality furniture thanks to Erin's discount. Months later I can say I made the right choice by hiring Erin. . Her communication skills are unbelievable. I'm known to be pretty fast when it comes to answering emails, but I think Erin may be respond even faster. I rarely have to follow-up with her on anything because she's on top of every little detail...and from furniture to paint colors to window treatments to tracking shipments there sure are a lot of details to keep track of. Details that I'm very happy to pay her to take care of so I can focus my time on my little ones and job. I typically tell Erin what I'm looking for and then she narrows it down to a few options for me to choose from. She has incredible taste and always gets it right. There have been a few times that I've asked her to go back to the drawing board for less costly items and she always comes back with something great. I really like that she's OK working with any budget because that didn't seem to be the case with all the other designers I chatted with before hiring Erin. We're furnishing our house slowly room by room and just had our first big shipment for the 3 main rooms. Everything piece of furniture looks even more gorgeous in person (if possible). I can't wait for Erin to come over this week to help me complete the look with accessories...and then on to the rest of the house. Decorating your new home should be fun, not stressful...and it's guaranteed to be a good time (and result in a beautiful new home) with EEB Interiors.

    We have been at our place for two years, and hadn't had a chance to really make it "ours". I knew…read morethat it was time for an update look from the style choices of the previous owners. I also wanted to make one of the rooms into a home office that looked as if it had been a baby's room before. I found out about EEB Interiors through a coworker that was really happy with their work, and looked at the website because I wanted someone who could mesh with my personal style. I really liked the residential design photos, so I gave them a call. Erin, the owner, was really personable on the phone and when we met. She was also really good at honing in on my style and offering me choices and ideas I hadn't thought of before. Before we called EEB, we had been around to other stores in the area looking for something not so run-of-the-mill, and had a hard time finding something that didn't look like all the others. I wanted something that was higher quality and more unique than what I had been finding at the standard retail stores. EEB had access to all these amazing sources that aren't open to the public that had really different stuff that I just loved and hadn't seen before. The knowledge and designer sources helped us create the high-end look we were trying to achieve. I am a person who prefers quality and work well done over a strict schedule, but everything got done in a very timely fashion, and we are really happy with the new look! Definitely worth it.
