After searching online for an affordable American Leather sofabed, I checked the clearance page on…read moreCC's site and there it was - a queen Comfort Sleeper in the exact model I wanted and in pristine condition! Scotty and his apprentice Johnathan delivered it with great care, fitting it in the tight space I've alotted for a guest sleeper. Although this is an as-is item, it's in top shape and I'm sure CC will address any issues I might encounter. And the price - while still pretty high - was worth it to me. Couldn't be more pleased.

I have used Architectural Ceramics for my kitchen and bathroom remodels, as I love their selection,…read morequality and design expertise. Just recently, Kylee assisted me with a smaller project to tile my bedroom fireplace. When the tile I selected was discontinued, Kylee spent days searching and contacting multiple suppliers to see if they had it in stock. She ended up contacting the original manufacturer and negotiated for them them do another order - just for me. Additionally, Kylee worked with Charlie and his crew who did a wonderful job installing the tile. I am so pleased with the result! The quality of the tiles and the quality of service I received throughout the entire process was exceptional. I plan to be a life-long customer of Architectural Ceramics and highly recommend them!

Christine is an amazing designer. There are so many great things I can say about her work. She…read morehelped me with my office and came up with ideas that I never would have thought of in a million years. The energy flows really well, and I get compliments on how relaxed people feel. Christine is very efficient, hard-working, detailed, organized, and fun. Being a new business owner, I also appreciated that she found great items on a small budget and constantly pulled "simple" and creative tricks that were cost-effective out of her hat. Finally, she's very intuitive and can read her clients well. This allows her to strike a balance between honoring her client's style, personality, and space goals and making fast decisions on what will work and what won't. I have a new appreciation for spending time and money on space. Thanks to Christine, I have an office that I love to go to every day. Call her!

She holds religiously to budget and does a great job keeping the project running. We recently did a large project and there was an instance where a mistake was made in color selection by either decorating den or the vendor. They could not determine where the problem occurred, but she arranged it such that it had no impact on us, the customer. No additional cost, and no additional time. She has a great relationship with her vendors, and all of the labor she uses has been exceptional.

It was so exciting seeing all the samples that I began to wish I had several sofas to recover, and fantasized about being an interior designer. They alerted me to the fabric wear rating -- how well it would hold up with use. The sofa is now reupholstered and looks beautiful and like new. Well done. Jan and Lorin are friendly people who easily made me feel comfortable. They are easy to work with, yet very professional. I highly recommend them.

Kathy Tufts is a talented designer. I hired her several years ago to place furniture, artwork and…read morechoose paint colors. She was wonderful. Because of her talent, she was my choice for remodeling a bathroom. This is a list of what went wrong during the construction: A. Toilet and tub are wrong color and the bathtub is the shorter than the previous bathtub. I requested a bright white toilet and tub multiple times. Also, the bathtub it is not level after installation. B. A mosaic made of ¼ inch glass tiles was not competently installed and the mosaic and the side walls' ¼ inch glass tiles do not reach the ceiling as planned. The bathtub before the remodel was higher and the measurements for the mosaic and side walls tile were taken from it. The mosaic and tile goes to varying heights on the walls. Where the side wall tiles and the mosaic meet at the corners of the walls there is more space than there should be. The workers tried to fill in the spaces where the mosaic was too short or not wide enough but the pattern/colors of the tile do not match the pattern of the mosaic. The white thin set shows significantly between some of the seams where the six pieces of the mosaic were joined. The thin set will need to be picked out before being grouted because grout will not cover the thin set since the tiles are so small and there is not enough space between the face and the back of the 1/4 inch tiles. The repair of the mosaic is very difficult. It needs to be demolished, remade and reinstalled properly. C. The bathroom vanity came with the drawers on the right side and the door of the cabinet on the left side instead of the other way around. The plumbing had to be moved to fit the configuration of the new cabinet as the previous cabinet was the opposite configuration. D. The marble top of the vanity came with one hole for the faucet instead of three holes for the Moen Banbury three holed faucet that was purchased. E. The Kohler Banbury bathtub fixture set came with plumbing valve. The valve is in the box and the wallboard and tile is already up at the front of the bathtub where the fixtures are supposed to be. Either the tile and wallboard need to be opened up to install the valve or the outside wall in the hallway will need to be opened up to reach the area. Since I know next to nothing about construction I hired a remodeling company to evaluate the work and write a report. Also, a neighbor who is a carpenter and former home inspector looked at the project along with a handyman I sometimes use. I contacted the mosaic company, Mosaico in Illinois, and I found a mosaic expert through a tile shop who came to evaluate the mosaic. They each contributed to the list. The mosaic company, the remodeling company and the mosaic installer agreed the mosaic needs to be demolished and redone by an experienced installer because it is very difficult to repair the mosaic. The project is not complete. I am hiring someone else. I paid 17,340 dollars of the 28,900 dollars listed in the contract.
