However, with a toddler and a baby on the way, we knew it was unrealistic. Melissa was such a pleasure to work with. She was responsive and very accommodating to our schedule. I am surprised that she doesn't have more reviews as she seems to be quite popular through word of mouth. Our realtor said her other clients were using Melissa to stage their home as well. She also staged two other homes in our neighborhood. We did accept an offer way above our asking price and I believe Melissa's design skills contributed to that. I would definitely recommend her for your staging needs!

I found Alicia Paley Home Interiors by googling interiors designers in Ventura county…read more I'm so happy I found Alicia. I had quite a few choices as there are lots of designers with in our county, I couldn't be more pleased to have had the opportunity of working with Alicia. What draw me to choosing Alicia Paley amongst all others was her kitchen cover photo. I absolutely loved how she had redesigned this kitchen. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for but there was some similarities and I though this interior designer is exactly who I need. I had most of my vendors and suppliers, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted but I was in desperat need of some guidance. Im a little OCD and I need everything to be a little more uniform eg:"who wants to matche there floor to there counter tops, I do lol". With this said Alicia's guidance was much needed... From the moment Alicia walked in and we discussed the handles for my kitchen cabinets, I knew I had made the right decision by hiring her expertise. Alicia's insight on colour coordination to floor quality and everything in between was exceptional. She really helped put my mind at ease, as you all know renovations can become quite expensive and it is sometimes hard to colour coordinate everything or match everything. "Could you imagine spending all this money and not liking it in the end, I definitely couldn't afford taking that risk. " Alicia's recommendation for vendors also help me save money which is always wonderful. She also had more affordable suggestions for some of the Items that I truly wanted but really wouldn't have been able to afford in retail or custom stores. I choose Alicia's "work with me" package which was a tremendous help. I will definitely be asking for her services again once the renovations are complete to help me with furniture and decorating ideas. If you are looking for a wonderful interior designer/decorator I would strongly suggest hiring Alicia Paley Home interiors she truly is a gem . You won't regret it. Thank you so much Alicia

I could write pages about the excellent work done by Jo-Ann Capelaci and Deidre Taylor…read more I knew I needed major changes in my home with a vague idea of what I wanted - master bath, kitchen, lighting, flooring, paint and window treatments. Jo-Ann was one of many designers I reached out to, but she was the first to engage in a meaningful conversation. An appointment was set and Deidre came to my home for the initial consultation. She spent time getting to know me along with my likes and dislikes. The guidance and direction they provided was phenomenal. They both exude a calmness that helped make this all manageable. I would absolutely recommend Jo-Ann, Deidre and the rest of her associates - I could not be happier with the results. They exceeded my expectations and left me with a home I love.

This is why when I bought a house I thought to call her for some advice and guidance. She met me at the new home as well as at some stores to help me sort through some of the more important decisions like COLOR. The questions she asked me while in my new home made me think, and actually saved me money because she brought up a few things I would never have thought of and I ended up going in a different (better) direction. Her knowledge and experience, along with her kind and calm demeanor took a lot of my stress away as I was making these important decisions about my new (first) home! I look forward to working with her again when we decide to do more improvements.

Working with Shir was such a wonderful experience. She was so easy to collaborate with and…read moreincredibly flexible. My mom was very involved in the design process, and Shir was able to balance both of our perspectives seamlessly -- which is no small task! She handled everything from major pieces like beds, couches, and chairs to smaller details like hardware, candles, and vases. Every choice felt intentional and cohesive. She really understood how to bring our modern-cozy vision to life while honoring the architecture of our Spanish-style home here in Southern California. Hiring Shir was absolutely worth it. Beyond her expert eye for design, you're paying for the time, clarity, and confidence that come with working with a true professional. We would've spent months second-guessing decisions (and probably made costly mistakes) trying to do this ourselves. Instead, we got a beautifully designed home that feels effortless and perfectly "us." Highly, highly recommend her for both big and small projects -- she's amazing at what she does.

This is the designer you're looking for! Two years ago I was…read moresearching for a designer/decorator to help me with a huge renovation project on my home, and Genoveve Serge was recommended to me. How lucky I got! The project was labor intensive and took nearly a year, and through every step of the process Genoveve was right there handling the contractors, the permits, the help with the overwhelming decisions on everything from flooring, to cabinets, plumbing fixtures, lighting, painting or wallpaper, fabrics and furniture...you name it. She was eager to listen to my ideas, and helped guide me through the design process from beginning to end, which was daunting, but would have been impossible without her. Even today, I can turn to her for advice and she's always reliable, very responsive, and genuinely caring for my needs. If you have a design project, large or small, and you are faced with the "where do I even start?" thoughts, call Genoveve. You will be in very capable hands and very glad you made the call.

There was nothing in this arena that would work in the space, because the ceilings are high and the opening wide. I walked into the shop on Thousand Oaks Blvd and knew they could achieve the elegant look I wanted. This was a few years ago. The drapes turned out really beautiful, the fabric was perfect and the way they finished the room off was beyond expectation. Farzi was so helpful as well as her staff. Fast forward to my experience now. There was an issue with the hardware, they were so responsive and took care of the problem immediately. The drapes even slide on the rod better than ever. A big shout out to everyone at Dream Interiors. My bedroom looks beautiful, the drapes keep the room cool during the day and if you want to have a custom job at a great price,...go there! Tanya

I had Dreamhouse reupholster my sofa and some guest chairs and they turned out just fine so I asked…read morethem to rebuild the seats in a couple of leather lounge chairs I have because they were sinking down too far when anybody sat on them. When the chairs were returned, they seats were much better EXCEPT they were striped! The backs of the chairs had been folded down and then the chairs were obviously left where they were exposed to sunlight which bleached out the leather and left stripes. I called Farzi and sent her pictures and she agreed to repair them. Dreamhouse picked up the chairs on Sept 10th so they could try and match the replacement leather on the seat cushions to what was on the back cushions and ottoman (which they did not work on). After nearly 6 WEEKS, they finally admitted that they couldn't match the leather. (This was after I had called repeatedly to get status and had been told that the chairs were going to be delivered but the delivery people were either out on vacation or too busy...that went on for a couple of weeks.) Since I knew where the leather had originally been purchased, I met the upholsterer in Downtown Los Angeles so we could get as close as possible to the existing leather. At that point I was told that Dreamhouse was ONLY going to reupholster the seats and the not the back cushions or ottoman. I agreed ONLY if it was not immediately obvious that the seats were different than the back cushions or ottoman. After all, everything had originally matched. When the chairs were finally returned, another week and a half later, the backs looked OK but the ottoman just did not match anymore. I told Dreamhouse I was willing to live with the backs but not the ottoman. I asked if there was any leftover leather from the hide that was purchased but nobody could give me an answer. Finally, to facilitate the process, I offered to drive the ottoman to Dreamhouse (26 miles away each way) and contribute $100.00 towards the replacement leather since I thought they would have to buy another hide ($200.00). Farzi countered at $150.00 (what?) and, again, to facilitate the repair, I agreed to $125.00. I was offering because I thought she would have to buy another hide and I felt bad for the upholsterer even though he caused this problem in the first place. Today, I picked up the ottoman (another 26 miles each way) and was told they were only going to charge me $75.00 because there was enough leather left over from the original hide and they did not need to purchase any more. WHAT?!? None of this fiasco was my fault but I paid the $75.00 because I did not want to argue with Farzi in front of other people in her shop and I just wanted to be done with this nightmare which had now been going on for 10 weeks!
