They took a nightmare of a situation and went above and beyond to make it a dream. From the very beginning, Megan and Rachel took on the project with confidence, humor, and professionalism. While Megan and Rachel are wizards at design and listening to client's personal styles, it is important to note that their services go beyond simple aesthetics. They were incredibly involved with the physical design of the space, which included frequent communication with our construction company and subcontractors, ensuring that everything was accomplished according to the plan. This included but was not limited to: designing lighting plans; meticulously designing and measuring cabinetry, and then working with the cabinet maker and subs to ensure a correct fit; swooping in to fix address all the issues, from fixture placements to counter heights to wall lengths. Their attention to detail along the way was truly astounding and their knowledge of home workmanship is unmatched. There was never a problem they couldn't fix or an issue that they couldn't untangle. I know without a doubt that our project would not be as amazing as it is without them. Fox and Fern is an amazing team and I cannot wait until I have another project so I can work with them again. They are the absolute best and would highly recommend their services.

I hired Allison as my interior designer for my new home and am absolutly thrilled with the results…read more She was very professional, creative, and attentive to my needs and preferences. She listened to my ideas and gave me great feedback as well as worked within my budget. She and her team were able to coordinate with our builder and even came up with some changes to the plans that worked even better. Allsion has a great sense of style and color. She managed to turn our home into a cozy and elegant space that reflected the style I requested. She chose the furniture, accessories, appliances, lighting, rugs, knobs, bathroom accessories and other items that matched the theme and mood I wanted. She also added some personal touches, such as a framed print I loved and photos of my husband and me. I would highly recommend Allison to anyone looking for an interior designer. She is talented, reliable, and easy to work and did I mention a dynamite personality. She has a portfolio of her previous work on her website, where you can also find her contact information. She is truly a gem and my husband and I are so thankful we found her!!

Allison and her team made it very easy to envision, plan, and execute our design. Allison and her team were very communicative and easy to work with, finding times that fit with our busy schedule, and keeping us up to date on all the logistics that we needed to know about while behind the scenes doing all the tedious things we can't manage ourselves. They found us amazing furniture but also came in and used our existing extensive art collection to make our house a stunning show piece that I keep walking through, feeling like I'm on a design show. We love bold, rich colors and bohemian accents, and lots of them, so it can easily feel cluttered, but Allison and the team helped us find a way to showcase our pieces and still feel clean and homey. Bonus points: they came in and installed the furniture while we were away on a vacation, so we came home to a magazine-perfect home, and it was so exciting! I couldn't be happier!

Book ends ranging from French bulldog statues to balloon animals. Service was friendly & swift. They made sure to wrap up my fragile items before placing in the bag also! Check them out!

I love just wandering around a home store even just to get some inspiration. Anything from new cleaning stuff to an arrangement of things in my living room or how to place decorations in my garden. I also like to giggle about the trends happening. Some are smart while others are odd and can be downright tacky. I expected another Homegoods type of store and did not realize that this store is mostly a trending furniture store catered to that group that is definitely not rich but far from poor. Unlike places like Pottery Barn, that have offerings for us mere mortals with less in our bank accounts to spend on furnishings that are into the thousands, they don't have a lot of accessories here. Even a small pottery piece was $68. Looking at a lot of the items and I felt like this is where people with a bit of money go to order a room so they look like they have some style. That's not meant as an insult as their room displays really are put together nicely. Most people can't really readily afford a designer and honestly the rooms are pretty cool looking with a nice mix of traditional and some modern flair. I could easily see a person walking in and saying that they want an exact room layout and changing one of the art pieces to suit them better. Pieces are thoughtfully displayed and by the look of it it is not really a cookie cutter type of furnishing place. So, you wouldn't have a friend come over to your house, look around and go 'oh didn't I see that somewhere??'.... I was cracking up at the liberal décor using horses... which would be going into homes of people who have probably never even been on a farm, like ever... and then the pillow that said 'Real Housewives of Beaverton'... yikes.... some real WTF winners see my photos for the evidence!) during my walkthrough were the Pollack style monkey lamp for over $900... seriously, I am in the wrong line of work and need to get into making insane looking lamps!!! If you want a labradoodle that doesn't actually walk around as your dog that you can sit on then they have the chair for you. There's also giant brass mushrooms, just one half of a horse lamp or perhaps a pillow for $163 that doesn't even vibrate... they did have some pretty incredible artwork for really reasonable prices and a truly gorgeous green velvet couch.

I had the pleasure of working with Tamara on a beach house update in Neskowin. I was working as an…read moreasset manager for a wealth management group, and the house was part of a community of rentals. The rental company decided the interior needed a major update, and took it off the market pending updates. I hired an interior design company to select some refinishes, which we did. But the selections left the home looking and feeling cold and lacking texture. So I brought Tamara in for a re-decoration over the weekend. She skillfully moved and re-arranged the family's existing furnishings, artwork, ceramics, photos, and textiles to improve flow, warm up the space, add texture and layering. I couldn't believe the difference, and I didn't have to spend the trust's money on new furnishings and decorations. A huge win! Thanks, Tamara!

In a few short months, Maughan Design transformed our compartmentalized 1970s house into a spacious, enchanting living space worthy of a magazine spread. They worked effortlessly with our chemical sensitivities, environmental concerns, and personal style. No challenge was too great for Kathie's crew - managing installation of a new type of reclaimed wood floor, designing the copper sink, hood and fireplace with fabricators in Mexico, or sizing custom fireplace doors with an affordable Internet supplier. Every day we were pinching ourselves! Kathie's magic is creating a dream that feels uniquely OURS without us ever lifting a finger!

From the moment we walked into Premier Kitchens and Cabinets, Dennis made us feel at ease. He immediately understood the look we were after and guided us through wood and color selections that fit our style perfectly. Dennis was incredibly patient, kind, and easy to work with. He came to our home to take measurements and learn what we liked about our existing setup--what worked, what didn't, and how he could improve our storage and overall functionality. He even pointed us toward vendors to help us find the perfect hardware. Their entire team--from countertop to cabinet installers--was prompt, professional, detail-oriented, and just really nice to have in our home. When an issue with the flooring came up that could have affected the quality of the cabinet install, Jesse (the owner) stepped in right away, paused the project, and helped us figure out the right solution. He clearly cares about the quality of their work and their clients' homes. Throughout the process, they helped us problem-solve whenever something came up and made sure the final result matched our needs and vision. We couldn't be more pleased with how our kitchen turned out. Thanks to insurance delays, this was a long process and I hope to never do it again--but if I had to, I'd hire Premier Kitchens and Cabinets again in a heartbeat. Dennis and Jesse are just good people to have on your team.

They are all super nice people and it was a pleasure working with them to design the space. They really listen to what you're looking for and what you want to utilize the space for. Could not recommend them more highly.

I had the kids prepped, fed, and promised a treat if they were good. I was so excited to get the process going that I was literally standing over my phone waiting for his call. 9 am. No phone call. 9:20 No phone call so I called the office and was told that they would text the owner and someone would get back to me in a few minutes. 10 am. No phone call or messages. 10:28 am and my phone rang and it was Matt, the Owner. He said that he had called me at 9 am and I did not answer and that he left me a message. I looked and there were no missed calls and no messages. He said he called the number that he was talking to me on (my cell phone). I said that he had not called MY phone and asked if this is how they conduct their business? ( an hour and a half late for an appointment) He then said if I was calling him a liar, then this was not going to work and so long. He did not even entertain the idea that maybe he had dialed the wrong number. So very disappointing but IF this is how they treat customers, then Straight Line is definitely NOT the remodeling company for me. It's too bad as I am doing a whole house renovation. What happened to excellent customer service???

Needless to say, when it came time for me to try to sell my home, S&A was top of my list. I knew staging my home would be challenging. It's an old house, and a lot of the rooms are narrow and long. I also knew it would be important to stage the home in such a way that the furniture would complement some of my home's turn of the century features. Well, reader, Spade and Archer absolutely, 100% delivered. They were friendly, easy to work with, and seamless in their set up and take down of the staging. Plus -- my house sold in 4 days!

This agency understands buyers and how to manufacture demand. Combined with a good agent, you'll be successful. Our experience was great.

Our eclectic taste was complimented but neutralized in order to get us a fantastic return in the sale. That funky light we love? 80% of buyers don't love it and the buyer is the one who counts. The buyer wants to see THEM in the space, not YOU. The execution team was on time, professional, and thorough. Lovely people. The result: Sold in 7 days after a bidding war for $45K over asking. We beat every single non-Spade & Archer staged comp in a 1-mile radius in a red-hot market. If and when we move next, this will be my first call after my agent.
