Working with Interiors by Kelley Lively to completely redecorate our master bedroom was a fantastic…read moreexperience and truly exceeded all of our expectations. Kelley masterfully helped us hone our vision and mesh our different style tastes to create a beautiful, calming, and updated yet classic master bedroom that we look forward retreating to every night. Kelley has impeccable attention to detail, communicates promptly, and has a wonderful personality that makes it so easy to work with her. Kelley can tailor her services to your particular needs and budget, but we are so glad we hired her to serve as a full service interior decorator, which included designing the room, sourcing furniture and decor, ordering everything, and overseeing installation and styling. She also provided terrific recommendations for tradespeople to handle electrical work and custom carpentry. We are looking forward to the next project with Kelley and can't recommend her enough!

I'd say the majority of the items in this shop located along Boulevard north of Broad within…read moreScott's Addition are beyond my budget limit, but my mom loves the place. They were listed as a local merchant who sells local artist Lori Mitchell's twiggy figurines in Richmond magazine last fall, and that lured her in. She spent way too long deciding between the figurines, so I looked around in the shop while she stared at them. They stock lots of eclectic, unique home decor items, so if you're looking for a special pillow or fabric or random glass ball -- and have the means -- this is a good option to check out. The folks who work here are really nice too. They chatted with us about the twig collection (apologies if the figurines have a real name that I'm omitting) and mentioned that Lori had had an event there in the recent past.

If I could ever afford an interior designer, this would be my pick not only because the owner has…read moreimpeccable style and taste, but because she's an animal lover. She hosted an event a few weeks ago at the SPCA, sort of design seminar for pet owners, that addressed the best carpets, fabrics and stain treatments safe for pets and easy-to-clean for their human friends. I've noticed that in the shop she always has some pillows, fabrics, or decorative pieces with pet motifs. So that's why she gets four woofs from me!

We used The Finishing Company to repair our stairs and replace the wood balusters with iron ones. I…read morefound the company through all of the excellent reviews left on AngiesList. Brian was very easy to communicate with and took care of ordering all of the supplies. They came by the following week and completed the install as scheduled. They were very tidy using drop cloths on the carpet and cleaned up after themselves; unlike a lot of handymen/ contractors. Our staircase not only looks better, but is as solid as a rock and not all wobbly like it was before. The price was fair and I would highly recommend using them for staircase work or any other carpentry projects, such as molding or built-in's. I have uploaded a before and after pic to this review.

Well fast forward almost a year later and now there is a baby in the house that is ready to move. In my childproofing quest, I told my husband that now is the time to get the stair handrail fixed. He found The Finishing Company. We advised Brian why rods we would like and that our stairwell was loose. Brian said no problem. We got our stair handrail fixed and new rods added in less than five hours. It is such an improvement. Brian is meticulous. He made sure to vacuum up dust every little step along the way. Now when I come home, I get to not only see a beautifully staircase but I feel a great piece of mind that the stair handrail is sturdy enough for once my baby is mobile.
