Last year I hired Lindsey to help me with everything from layout design to piece selection. Lindsey was extremely attentive and made the entire process very easy. Due to the distance (I live in San Diego), LIndsey and I completed the initial stages (determining my needs/constraints of the space/budget/etc...) via telephone and email. The design process was enjoyable, with Lindsey providing layouts and piece recommendations for my comment. Her engaging personality made providing feedback easy. My place was completed last December and I have been extremely pleased with the services Lindsey Runyon Design provided. I would recommend her to anyone looking to turn their house into home.

Aside from being highly creative and professional, Lindsey is also very easy to communicate and work with. She's well connected with businesses related to the design industry (fabric, furniture, electric, tile, painting ect.) and able to get the best deals for her customers. Lindsey brings her impeccable sense of style to residential as well as commercial design and she's always a pleasure to work with.

Where do I even start? Sherri is the real deal and has a true GIFT when it comes to helping others…read more We have worked with her from 2015 during the organizing process, and her and John in 2016 in the design process. This journey has been a complete LIFE CHANGER. I have to agree with the other reviewer about how she is "part organizer part therapist". Before, my husband and I were in transition going from 2 separate homes to 1, and life was messy and unmanageable...and our home reflected that. We had double or triple of things which were randomly placed. It was so overwhelming that it was a huge source of stress and most likely put a strain on our relationship. What happened? We hired Sherri not knowing how brilliant she was. Her personality is warm,compassionate, and totally non-judgemental. This is so important because messiness can come with shame. She was so supportive in OUR vision of our home, and taught us the skills, tools, and systems needed to organize. I also want to note she genuinely wanted to get to know us as a whole person, not just getting things organized. Now, yes, things can get easily get "messy" but we know exactly where things go and cleaning is quick and easy. No more stress anymore. Things in our home have a system tailored to our lifestyle. I can now organize on my own because I have the techniques I learned with Sherri. Her husband, John is fantastic too, and are glad we got a chance to work with him during our design renovations in our home. He's very professional and organized when dealing with scheduling and contractors. Absolutely recommend Sherri and John!! Thank you for helping us!

This is way overdue, but clearly a hint into why I needed to have someone like Christy come into my…read morelife! Christy was more than a de-clutter expert, she's therapy! I can give you every reason / excuse as to why I hadn't been able to get my act together, but you already know. Christy was able to approach my situation in a way that was caring and fun. She wasn't just trying to help me "get rid" of stuff, but really had me look into why I felt the need to have X in the first place. We'd talk it through, come up with a solution, and act on it. Super cathartic. She'd give me realistic "homework" to do until next time, and of course, I'd make excuse why it wasn't done. No judgement! I looked forward to seeing her each time. Here's the thing. Would my life be better if she lived in my home and did it for me? Sure! And she can " just do it" for the client. But for me, her methods have bled over into every aspect of my life. She "taught" me how to take these methods into work, into a way of thinking when approaching just about everything. And time flies when you are with her. Her personality and optimism is contagious! And she can shift focus at a moment's notice. Don't want to tackle de-cluttering closet today? Really need assistance in digital filing ( organizing that crazy computer, bills, etc)? She can do that, too. Need more sessions with her for sure, but not bc she didn't succeed. But bc I want to continue to better my life and 46 years of habits can be tough to break. And face it, we can all benefit from continuing to grow and be our better selves.

Cute store with a decent stock of plants ranging from common to uncommon. However, I don't think…read morethe attendant knew much about their merchandise when asked to identify plants with no labels as they could not provide a clear answer, not a huge deal but...it's a plant store. Other than that, its a good selection of plants but be careful. Upon close investigation, some plants have mealy bugs, particularly the p. brandtianums (theyre so pretty, too). This is the sort of inspective rigor I'd expect a plant store to have down, and it's understood that some may sneak past QC, but once you see one plant in store that has it, it's not hard to wonder if some may have it too. In summation, bring some knowledge going in because they have a good selection and repot ASAP, spray bug repellant and quarantine plants when buying from this store. So the owner has replied and agreed she sells plants with bugs! Good luck! EDIT: So the owner has replied in the most uncalled for manner. Read the owners classist response for yourself. Changed the rating to reflect the situation.

She is patient and kind as she walks you through the design process and answers your (inevitable) many questions each step of the way. We worked with her to redesign three spaces in our home: our kitchen, and two bathrooms. With each space, she found ways to approach them in new and practical ways when we felt otherwise overwhelmed. She guided us through choosing stunning finishes, and we received so many compliments from contractors and friends alike along the way. We had never done a remodel - and now, being on the other end of the process, we don't know where we would have been had we not had her detailed designs to guide us all along the way. Whenever questions arose, it was invaluable to have something so concrete to refer to, and we can't recommend this approach enough for anyone considering a remodel.

Project ran 100% over budget. Architectural plans were excellent. Project management was poor. Poor management of sub-contractors (meaning they no-showed and the project was left incomplete). There were no interior design elements executed because the project was over budget by more than $40,000. Instead of installing requested shelving, Shelley dropped off an unfinished wooden board and said "It's not rocket science. Figure it out." This is what I paid them 10% of total project costs for? They then refused to show me our signed contract, stating that the project was "too small" for a contract. The project exceeded $90,000 cash. My lawyer suggested grounds for suing since budget increases were never presented to me for approval, not verbally or in writing. I'm sure every project goes over budget, but it's how you handle it that counts. Stock & Associates receives a one star rating for lack of professionalism, among other things.

Initially, there was a mix up in terms of my job request to them to build our a closet, but when the issue/problem happened, The Custom Closet Company owned up to it and really showed that they genuinely wanted to help my resolve my issues. All on-call contacts and e-mail communications I had with them were professional and they were prompt in providing honest answers regarding situation/timeframe of when the job could happen. What I liked was that the company was quite dependable. Once they understood the scope of work, you got the design, choices to pick/opportunities to provide feedback and select the options like colors/additional add-ons, and things generally flowed quite well. Unlike my experiences dealing with other contractors, they were pretty dependable and you could count on them holding up to their promises in terms of price estimates, timeframe of when the job could happen, and the duration of the job. Given how professional their company was from pretty much my interaction with all the individuals there (General manager, office lady who picks up the call and designer), I would definitely use them again when the next opportunities to remodel/custom make cabinets/closet/workspace at my townhome in Seattle in the future.

The event that arranged my visit was a Yelp elite event, in which we were wined and dined by an incredible team (Eat Seattle) that regularly uses the venue to teach / coach people on great ways to cook well, mix well drinks, eat well, etc. The owner of SieMatic, Cathleen was extremely kind and took her time carefully explaining the architecture and functionalities of each design. You could tell she took great of pride in the incredible work she, and her team had done. These kitchen designs literally had the group in jaw dropping posses. Honestly, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect going in, I've been to the average kitchen gallery display from home improvement expositions, to the local Ikea, but THIS was different.... The models range from Pure, Urban, and Classic designs, which many come from Germany . The plethora of designs take you to a new world, from stovetop overhead fans that elevate, ovens that speak, and swing open, to cookware pantries just below the flat top stoves.... I could list so many more, but I would highly recommend that you experience this for yourselves. If you are in the market for an incredible kitchen update, and your looking for something that will impress your family, your friends, but mostly yourself... PLEASE do not neglect this place. Although downtown Seattle can be stressful to drive in, there is a parking lot, conveniently located next to the building. Tell Cahleen, that Mical sent you.

He had contacted several Architects who didn't seem to want to be bothered with this small of a project. I recommended Michelle Linden of atelier a+d and she has been stellar.
