From the first outreach to completion of our projects she was professional, detailed, brought her own design concepts, and saw things through to completion in an extraordinary way. She has a fantastic eye for design, and delivered on our unique needs so well. Helping a couple decorate new space is a true balance in expertise, managing budgets and (perhaps) a bit of marital counseling to ensure everyone gets on the same page. We were so comfortable with Nicole being in our home (even when we were not around) to supervise contractors, deliver items, and even go the extra mile to help bring deliveries inside when we were out of town. We would recommend Nicole to anyone without hesitation, and fully plan to use her services again in the future as our design needs evolve. Truly one of the best professional experiences we have had in home ownership!

And not in that order. Here are a few of her many strengths: She anticipates questions and has answers ready; She has great resources who mirror her values; She communicates beautifully and easily; She institutes sound business processes; She spends my money as if it were her own; She's unwaveringly accountable; She stays abreast of current design trends; She's not a "yes" person; She's imminently trustworthy; She's funny, bright and a joy to work with. And, oh yes, she's wicked creative.

Jaqi Green came out to our new home for a color consultation in our kitchen. Over the years as our…read morekids have gone from toddlers to teenagers and changing bedrooms around, we've ended up with new paint throughout our home, window treatments, carpeting, lighting help and furniture rearrangement. Jaqi is pretty no nonsense, AND has a great sense of humor! She keeps me on track and makes sure I hold up my end of her "More Joy, Less Stress" agreement. Working together truly was just that.

Jaqi is great to work with. When I was moving I hired Jaqi to help with the floor plans for my…read morecombo living/dining room and the master bedroom. This saved a lot of moving-day time and aggravation as I posted the floorplan in each room for the movers to use. By working with Jaqi on what to do with each space it helped to ensure the space was being utilized the way I wanted. I next used Jaqi to help me decide if ripping my kitchen out and redoing the layout would work the way I envisioned it. It helped to have another perspective and with the templates we were able to try various floor plan and cabinet options. Jaqi has also helped with paint choices and tile suggestions. Working with Jaqi is fun and I would recommend her to anyone.

Mediocre performance at best…read more Poor grasp of light differences throughout the day. Color choices were similar to my three year old nephew drawing on the sidewalk with chalk. Add to that the fact that she is merely the middleman for Amish furniture purchased in Readstown, WI with zero artistic or construction talent. Finally, if you are still on the fence, you'll also get the full dose of CRT, leftist ideology and pro Biden socialist program. My advice is to stay far, far away from a mediocre designer with flawed ideology; a cult like fervor supporting the continuing demise of American values, freedoms and the very ideology of personal freedom equating to personal responsibility this nation was founded on.

I recently took a furniture refinishing class with Kelly. It was an awesome experience. Kelly took…read morethe time to explain all the techniques at a pace that was individualized to my limited skill set.

Katie just knows her stuff. She approached our project with a no nonsense that was exactly what we…read moreneeded. We gave her a throw blanket as a starting off point for our bedroom, and she picked a few paint and carpet options that were perfect and that, most importantly, we never would have chosen without her help. She also helped coordinate new paint and towels and a more modern look for our master bath. You just don't know what you don't know in interior decorating. We were not interested in creating the thousand row spreadsheet and Houzz accounts for this project so felt we got a great return for Katie's reasonable fee. We had never used an interior designer before, but will definitely call Katie for future improvements.

Katie was amazing and willing to work with any budget. She was able to use a lot of my existing decor in the house in different ways than I ever imagined.

We stopped in and did some window shopping and soon realized they had a great selection and the best deals. Custom furniture without the custom price. We purchased a sectional sofa chair and a cabinet to hold the turntable I bought My Husband for Christmas and his records. Delivery went well and everything looks great. If you're in the market for new furniture this is definitely a place to check out.

I would like to update my review. I did have the sofa redone at your shop. We discussed ad nauseam…read morethat it would be a comfortable soft sofa and that the velvet would not attract as much dust and lint as it does. You said it was specifically a better product. I had another chair recovered in velvet at Calico Corners in Wilmette and it does not attract dust and lint at all so it is not necessarily a function of all velvets. You were not nearly as helpful as you sound here on yelp when I had these complaints after the sofa was done. You' were completely unresponsive and refused to assist any further. At minimum, the sofa should've been comfortable and you definitely did mislead me on your product.

She was incredibly responsive and respectful of our budget and scope, and she made sure every member of our family felt included and heard throughout the process. Stephanie is also truly hands-on with vendors, handling all of those relationships directly, which saved us significant time and stress. Her network of resources is impressive and made a real difference in the options available to us. What really sets her apart is her GC license. She understands how individual projects connect to the broader systems of a home and how all the pieces fit together -- a holistic perspective you don't always find in an interior designer. We'd recommend Stephanie without hesitation.

I connected with Stephanie very shortly after I moved to a new townhome.

Stephanie helped me integrate some of my existing furniture with beautiful new pieces to create a beautiful, functional living room. What was one large open space is now two curated areas-- one for watching TV and relaxing, the other a cozy area for reading and entertaining. Stephanie quickly helped me identify my "style" and selected options for rugs, lighting, and seating that I would not have been able to access on my own. She made me (and my partner) feel comfortable, listened to several rounds of feedback, and did it all with grace, patience, and on budget. I look forward to continuing to work with her.
