Dawn provided detailed layout plans along with furniture, bedding, electronics, and artwork recommendations--all of which perfectly matched my style and lifestyle. Her guidance not only made the process easy, but it also saved me over $900. I truly got everything I asked for and more. Thank you, Dawn! I will absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for an interior decorator."

To enter, you can come in the…read moreback door, in the alley across from the library, and go right, not into the dog wash place, and head up the stairs. During regular business hours for the business on the first floor, in front, you have to go through their space to get to the stairs to get up. Confusing, I know, but, if you are looking to improve the feel and/or look of your home, worth the effort. They now focus on the design component so the wonderful smelling candles, Christmas decorations, Halloween decorations, accessories, and beautiful gifts are all history. Hours are now Monday through Friday, 10 to 5. Other hours by appointment.

What an interesting store. They are to retail what a bistro is to fast food…read more I don't care for chain restaurants and always seek out privately owned, one-of-a-kind, type places so I should not have surprised myself when I found this place. They were in full Christmas splendor when I visited and I found some really nice things that I doubt I could have found anywhere else. The people there could not have been nicer and the prices reasonable. If you like something other than run-of-the-mill retail shops, this is the place for you. They may not have exactly what you're looking for, but if you are looking for ideas, they'll have them.

Once again, I turned to Linly Designs for help furnishing my new home--and once again, they…read moreexceeded every expectation. Years ago, they completely transformed my space, leaving not only me but my friends and family in awe. So it was a no-brainer to return to them. While they no longer offer full interior design services (which is a real loss for anyone who hasn't experienced their magic), they more than made up for it with their stunning selection of Marge Carson furniture--an iconic brand with nearly 80 years of design excellence that Linly Designs now proudly owns. The result? A match made in design heaven. The quality of the furniture is nothing short of extraordinary--elegant, timeless, and meticulously crafted. And Linly's service? Still first-class, just like I remembered. From consultation to delivery, every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The best have truly partnered with the best. I couldn't be more thrilled.

I can't believe how remiss I have been in not writing up a review for Interiors by Maribeth!…read more Maribeth and Jovita have been an essential part in sourcing fabric for our upholstery projects over the last 3 years. Maribeth's eye for color is unmatched. The team is talented and fun to work with, and really approached our projects with enthusiasm and insight, never pushing an agenda. Our relationship began when we were looking for a particular upholstery fabric and color-way from an English fabric company that we hoped to use for a pair of heirloom chairs .... I'd refer anyone who is making big decisions about fabric to check in with Maribeth and her team first!

I cannot say enough good things about Maribeth. She's the only decorator I use & I've been in the…read morereal estate game for thirty years. Maribeth is mind boggling, actually. She really knows her craft, it's like she was born to be an interior decorator. Her ability to put design schemes together is amazing. I swear I think she knows all the paint colors and their number designation(s) by memory. One time she was explaining something to me and I said: "What do you mean?" She drew a sketch of it and it looked like a masterpiece in the Art Institute. Years ago, the rental market was 'down' and I'm a landlord. I couldn't rent out an apartment and I had at least seven showings. I said to myself, I'll call Maribeth (get the color schemes) and have the apartment repainted. I did just that, first showing after Maribeth and the new paint, the apartment rented in the FIRST showing. As a matter of fact, I will NEVER use any other interior decorator, but Maribeth.

We were in London when Martins did the rennovations on our home. We didn't know exactly what we…read morewere coming back to. We opened the door . . . and walked into paradise. 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. If you're looking to do renovations on your home, that not only are beautiful, but also unique and specific to you and your family, your search is over. Martins Buka will not only deliver, but exceed your expectations!
