Joy made a potentially stressful job easy!…read more We wanted to do a bathroom redo, but didn't want to have to worry about ordering things and scheduling work. Joy took care of all that and more. From the time we contacted Joy things went smoothly. Joy listened to what we had to say when we first called her then showed up with a plan that incorporated our ideas with her expertise. Joy used mood boards to help us visualize the plan and updated them frequently with our preferences. Joy took care of all scheduling of contactors and ordering the supplies. She was also easy to contact and really kept us updated during the entire project. I think her fees were a great value and well worth it. She had some really great ideas we would never have thought of. The final product was a wonderful combination of what we were looking for and what really worked. Just top notch work. We are so happy with the final result. I can't even remember what the old bathroom looked like now. We will use Joy for our next project for sure and highly recommend her.

I LOVE her taste and she knew exactly how to bring design elements to life through colors, shapes, accessories, and finishes. Joy is extremely proactive and thoughtful. When we met with her about the designs, I appreciated how she offered options with different price points. She listened to my thoughts and was receptive. Her work is impeccable. She is just so kind, lovely, laidback, and relatable! We had never worked with an interior designer before and we are thrilled we found Joy!

June Shea is a delight to work with. We came to her in early November knowing that we needed to…read morefurnish our living room properly in advance of our entire family descending from out of town for Christmas. I was kind of awkward at first, knowing that we might have different taste. However, June listened and adjusted to what I liked. In a short time, we selected a delightful suite of living room furniture. June made sure the furniture arrived on time and arrived on the delivery day to put everything gorgeously in place while I worked on my business, including tactfully putting aside some junk and even offering to hang our art. That gave me huge relief, because it was the day before my guests were to arrive, and I had no time to deal with it. I was also impressed that June did many things off the clock and didn't charge us extra when she realized it would suit our taste and lack of time best to order our art gallery wrapped. June also found a way to repurpose four lamps that we had so that they went with the decor where they were situated. I have already hired Shea Studio Interiors for an additional project to spruce up my bedroom and office. Additionally, June's suggestion to move my office from upstairs to downstairs has tremendously benefitted my business operations, will save me on taxes, and will provide me a better sense of peace in the upstairs, "home" part of my home/office. My family was very comfortable using the furniture we selected (except for the jealousy, perhaps), and my sister-in-law said it looked like something out of a magazine! In short, Shea Studio made our house more homey and beautiful and our office more businesslike and functional. Highly recommend.

We worked with Shea Studio Interiors to renovate our home in Fairfax Station, and we honestly…read morecouldn't be happier. What started as a kitchen remodel quickly turned into a full-home renovation because everything was going so smoothly--and that's thanks to the amazing team at Shea Studio and Duran Contracting. Bonnie was our main designer, and she was incredible--super thoughtful, creative, and totally invested in the project. Leah kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes, and June (the owner) was hands-on during all the key phases. They were all great to work with: professional, seemingly always available, and flexible. What made a huge difference was how much time they spent upfront getting to know our style and what we needed from the space. We'd never done that kind of deep dive before, and it made everything else so much easier. From there, it felt like they just "got" us--they really took our vision and ran with it. They helped us find the right partners for everything--cabinets, appliances, furniture, lighting, even a custom wine room. Everyone they brought in was top-notch and fairly priced. Plus, they handled all the scheduling, deliveries, and any issues that popped up (like damaged items or delays), so we didn't have to worry about a thing. If you're thinking about remodeling or redesigning your home, we can't recommend Shea Studio enough. They're talented, professional, and just great people. Our home even won a Home & Design award this year--and we've included photos so you can see for yourself!

Andrea and her staff from FTC Interiors consistently deliver excellent designs to our clients, for…read moreboth remodeling design/interior consultations and paint color consultations. Our clients have all been very happy with her work, as well as happy with our painting and remodeling finished product. We have a large painting and remodeling company that does high-end work for our clients, and we do around 200 projects a year. We are a high-end company so naturally our clients expect the best, and have high expectations. And FTC Interiors always delivers. We have worked with other designers (from different companies) who fell short, didn't show up on time, or provided design advice that our clients didn't like- but every single client has been very satisfied and felt completely helped by FTC Interiors and Andrea in particular. She is the best designer we have ever come across, and we've been using her as our go-to designer for many months now. I can't speak for Melissa, but from what I know about contracting and design, it sounds like a classic example of Melissa hiring a designer to do design, and then complaining and trying to unfairly hurt Andrea's reputation when the designer did not also act as a contractor too. It is not the designer's responsibility to install or remodel a home, only to design it. If Melissa chose to not hire a contractor, (and by her own words, she admitted she declined to hire the window treatment company) then that is on Melissa, not on Andrea. If you refuse to pay for an installation service, then how can you turn around and complain that you didn't receive an installation? ‍

I didn't know there were so many pieces to coordinate, but Andrea led me through the process of choosing everything to fit together. She had great advice and also had a good sense of my personal tastes. The installation was later than expected, so Andrea rescheduled (more than once - thank you!) the supplies delivery (which took up my whole garage) so they wouldn't be sitting around my house taking up space. Upon delivery she arrived to go through every single item to make sure everything needed had been delivered. During the remodel Andrea made timely visits to make sure everything was going as planned. She had a good relationship with my contractor and was always warm and friendly. During the project we were short a few tiles and Andrea scrounged up the extras in 24 hours and brought them over herself. Andrea is professional, knowledgeable and amiable. Without a doubt a five start rating. I'll use her services again!

We…read morewanted help with their recommendations for furniture arrangement, fabric selections, window treatments and color selections. We quickly realized Ms. Golden possessed total interior design skills. Our Design and Build firm was long on "build" and short on "design." She expertly developed a lighting plan, created a custom shelving unit, drew up precise specifications for our crown and case moldings, steered us to an excellent furniture retailer, selected fabrics, and helped us with tile selection for our backsplash. Ms. Golden demonstrated to us time and again a keen sense of design, of color discernment, and a depth of professional knowledge. You can most definitely rely on her judgment, as she will offer her view of the proper design/color, and always offer a full explanation for her choice. We are thrilled to have worked with her, and we credit her for salvaging our remodel.

She has a great eye for design and color and is easy to talk to and personable-- this was especially important to me since I wanted to work with someone that I can "click" with. There are tons of design options out there and I can easily spend multiple days just trying to pick out a single piece of furniture, let alone trying to make it look good and work with an entire room, so Colleen's services are invaluable. I just let her and her team do the hard work of putting together color palettes, layouts and mood boards and I tweak little details to my liking if I want. My entire house now looks instagrammable (can't help but notice how good rooms look in the background when I take pictures of the kids around the house) and I'm enjoying its looks as well as function every single day thanks to Colleen and RedBird!

Let me describe the services provided and why it was awesome. We were in the midst of redecorating and had several rooms that we were planning to repaint. Linda had a fixed price for a set number of rooms that we thought was very reasonable to begin with. We were really expecting her to stop by, take a look at our house, understand our needs and provide recommendations. But, oh...she did so much more. Linda spent 7 hours with us! For each space that we consulted her on, she asked us to describe usage, provided recommendations, then held up color swatches on the walls so we could see what the color would look like in bright light and shadows and further gave us decor tips. We did not just pick colors, we felt confident in our choices. As I think back to our initial experience when we moved in, we liked a lot of color and picked some bold colors throughout pretty randomly. Unfortunately, less than 4 years later we are re-painting so many areas because the color seems overbearing or did not really work. If we had used Linda's services right at the start, we wouldn't be repainting so soon so we would have saved money! In the end, we have picked shades of a similar color but as Linda explained, there is a rhythm to this, as you move from active areas to areas where light fades and gets bright, you see a consistency and can also change moods somewhat. Again, YMMV, but all-in-all, I don't think anyone will be dissatisfied with Linda...she goes out of her way to please...she need not have spent 7 hours with us and we think that the decor tips she provided are strong. Her work ethic and enthusiasm was excellent...we almost could not keep up with her even after 7 hours. 10/10 for her service and enthusiasm.
