They were very thorough and had a lot of reference material we could look at to help us narrow in on our vision. Both Brad and Kendra asked us a lot of questions of what we were looking to achieve and through our input were able to come up with a final look we were absolutely thrilled with! They were very responsive and quick to follow up and came up with multiple alternate ideas when we were unsure about something. Overall we were most happy with the design and color choices that perfectly matched what we had pictured in the back of our minds. They are very flexible whether you're a person who love every minutia of choice or want to throw caution to the wind and let them use their imagination to come up with a design! We would strongly recommend them if you want a unique design or vision that has yet to be discovered!

He accounted for the flooring, direction of light and our existing furniture and transformed our dated home with his paint selections. His picks were spot on.

On the Ork website we saw that Twelve Chairs stocks the posters so we went down there to see what they look like in person. We talked to one of the co-owners and she was nice and very knowledgeable. We purchased the Ork Poster and we will definitely be back for more home stuff. The space they are in is awesome. It's like an old warehouse/loft that they converted into a really great show room for all of their furniture and homey knickknacks. You've got to check this place out.

I had a large budget in her same zip code, but she made it clear that she did not need my business ( or feel it was appropriate to withhold her thoughts on sahms).

I'm sure that your company started out doing smaller jobs to build your business. Terrat Elms shows a complete lack of interest if they don't see big $ signs. Unfortunate for you, the project we called your office for was just a start. We were looking initially for interior design to see how you did. We are then interested in a full bath & kitchen demo.

This would definitely get that one.

He is a personable man who always considers the client's needs when designing for them. He is adept at a variety of design styles, from traditional to contemporary. What distinguishes Mark from other designers is his drive, which enables him to satisfy his customer's needs in a timely and efficient manner. When Mark designed my space, he was able to incorporate my favorite pieces with new purchases in a cohesive manner, blending them as if they had always been together. I was completely satisfied with the work he did for me and would wholeheartedly recommend him to others

We met at a flooring store where she helped me select a small number of options that she thought would work with the existing cabinets and walls, then headed to a countertop store to find options that would work with the floor samples. I then took the samples home to see them in place, which clarified what looked best in the space. Rosita did exactly what I needed: provided the guidance to get me past the paralysis of being overwhelmed by too many choices, plus pointing me to some good floor and countertop retailers.

DO NOT SHOP 3 DAY BLINDS Total scam - trying to resolve this…read moreissue since 7/21/25 - it's now 10/13/25 and no calls back from the company. Filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau - they claimed they have been in touch with me to resolve - when I produced all the emails that have not been responded to and a screenshot of my on hold for over 14 minutes, they stopped responding to the Better Business Bureau! Total scammers - you could get better quality blinds at Job Lot and better customer service. If just one person doesn't shop 3 Day Blinds after reading reviews and seeing the photos, it will be worth it.

Updating my review from 2 to 1 stars. It's been 8 weeks and they've proposed a date to come fix it…read morethat is over 2 weeks away. So 10 weeks to fix a blind!!! These guys might need to update their name... I was happy with the look of my blinds, despite the very high cost. However in 1 year my Roman shades have broken 2 times because the entire design hinges on a very small and flimsy piece of plastic. The first time they fixed it in a reasonable timeframe. the second time has ruined my opinion of the company. it's been 6 weeks and I haven't been able to use my blinds. - after 2 weeks they sent a technician but he didn't have the correct part (even though I had send a picture of what was broken) - after 2 more weeks and no word from them apparently the FedEx box "was missing and they would order it again" - after another two weeks the package has supposedly been delivered but no one from the company or the installer will respond to me. 6 weeks without being able to fix my blinds is absolutely insane. I will never use this company again.

We had a very negative experience with them. We fired them…read more As a couple, we found the process to be awkward: the architects, with Treff LaFleche as the main contact person, didn't listen to many of our wishes and instead kept pushing certain features that we repeatedly said we didn't want. We also found the billing rates and hours to be very high. We even had almost comical arguments about the size of the project with many discussions about gross vs. livable space, even though all that was stipulated in the contract, and we had thoroughly scoped the anticipated cost of the project. After my wife became frustrated and then sketched out on her own what she wanted, we realized that we had the wrong architect. He was designing a house that he wanted vs. what we wanted. So, just after we fired Treff, we both felt incredibly relieved. He was imperious and didn't want to listen to us. Later, we learned that a friend of ours decided not to work with LDa; she said that Treff seemed very distracted. We later found a new architect, who proved to be amazing: very responsive, an open and positive attitude, listened carefully to us, and billed us at very "fair" rates and hours. We got the design we wanted, almost zero heartburn, and at a fraction of the cost of LDa. His name is Tim Blanchard. If you call him, feel free to mention my name. Edit, April 2017: 1. A few Yelpers contacted me, also lodging negative experiences with LDa. Here is a DM from one: "I can't remember whom we talked to, we kept being pushed around." Yup, they're pushy. 2. Please note that Houzz reviews are a sham. The vendor must approve them. Mine was never approved. 3. LDa's Facebook reviews are thin: They comprise of me, a photographer whom they hire, and some random users.

I'd always been afraid to stop in and use their internet cafe. The idea of working in an Apple…read morerepair place intimidated me a bit. But when the latch on my laptop busted, I finally stopped in. I opted to drop in here instead of making an appointment or waiting on line at the Apple Store. (I'd already stumped the Genius Bar with a problem with my iPod Touch, so I wasn't eager to wait in line for a dead end again.) There was no wait. I explained my problem, paid the $30 bench fee, and was told I'd get a call from a tech in one or two business days. Got a call the next day, explaining that they'd fixed the problem quickly and that my computer was ready for pickup! No additional fee, no long wait time. Sure, my issue was a simple one. But at other places, it might have sat on a shelf for a while before anyone had time to look at it. I'm completely satisfied with quick turnaround and courteous service. Wish I'd used the internet cafe now...

Often I'll dip out from tiresome shopping by plugging into this portal to the metaverse on Newbury…read moreStreet. They have a free wi-fi network that also covers Sonsie, BAC, Trident and a few others. If you didn't bring your compie along, they've got half a dozen Macs to play around on. The small, light blue space is somehow airy and comfortable. They have a few beverages, but are no cafe by any means. I speculate that being an authorized Apple repair center actually pays the bills and the other stuff is just to have the distraction of people and have some sort of human contact. They also sell basic Mac accessories. Can't say much about their repairs, but the staff that I've interacted with are pleasant college kids who play non-offensive music, so work can be done. By the time you reach this end of Newbury it's a nice respite from the heat and weariness and an easy alternative to my couch-cum-office.
