Plus, his workshop is top notch. I scheduled time to check it out and was blown away by the degree of industrial machines, tools, wood & hardware varieties, spray equipment station, etc., that he owns. He seems to live his passion, b/c when I asked to use his bathroom I was shocked to learn that everywhere I looked he had custom-built himself. Oh, and the bathroom design "left no stone unturned", i.e., the Asian-themed detailed hardware, exotic wood cabinets, and imported quarried stone floor was an adventure in itself. He's one of a kind artist who's willing and able to create something for you that reflects your self-expression and aliveness through furniture-design somehow.

We had never worked with an interior designer before, but we knew an expert's assistance would be helpful given the amount of furniture and other decorating assistance we needed. Ali was a great listener and developed a vision for the house that fit both our lifestyle and tastes. She introduced us to pieces and patterns beyond those we would have found on our own. For each room, she provided multiple choices for furniture, patterns, rugs, etc.--at various price points and styles--and made sure that we could mix and match the different pieces while maintaining the overall vision for the room. In addition to her aesthetic talents, Ali was a huge help with logistics--placing orders, securing samples, and staying on top of suppliers and vendors. With the ongoing supply delays due to the pandemic, Ali kept us up to date as shipping and delivery dates changed. Overall, Ali is a lovely person and very easy to work with--highly communicative throughout the process. We will certainly keep her in mind for our future interior decorating needs!

Great work from Ali Horwitz. Look forward to seeing her continued success around DC and Baltimore.read more

Linda is AWESOME. We received a referral to Linda from our neighbor who had just engaged her to…read moreselect colors for their house. We hired Linda in similar fashion. 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.

She helped guide us on the type, color, style of our new drapes and our new pillows, and then pulled everything together with some beautiful hardware.

He too helped guide us on the width/dimensions of our drapery and then returned to install them to perfection. He is like the cherry on top -- he took the time to measure and install our drapes to the exact specification to match the feel and vibe of the room(s)! 3. Imauri (project coordinator) kept us informed when each step of our project was completed, and helped keep things running smoothly and on schedule. We could not have asked for a better experience! Thank you to all of you!

I had an in-home consultation and with the designer's recommendations I selected 8 pillows to tie…read moretogether our primary bedroom and adjoining sitting room. When the pillows came in, I picked them up at the store and placed them in the 2 rooms. It was immediately apparent that the fabric selected did not match my existing decor. I reached out to the store and the designer who helped me had already moved on so I explained the situation to the store manager who made an appointment to come to my home and assess the situation. Upon seeing the pillows in the rooms she agreed that the fabric color was wrong and the sizing of the pillows for the chairs was too large. She went back to the store and ordered additional samples for me to consider. Once I received them and tried them out the room it was clear to me that those samples wouldn't work either. I emailed the manager and explained that the new samples weren't going to work asking if anything else could be done to help me. I never heard back from her. I sent a follow up email and never heard back from her at all. I understand that the pillows were custom made for me and that more than likely I wouldn't be able to return them, but I was making my decision based on their designer's recommendation which was clearly wrong. It really bothered me that I never heard back from the store manager, so I took it one step further and sent an email to the customer service department. It has been over a month and I have yet to hear anything from them. I have been a customer of Calico for over 18 years and this is how it ends. I would be very careful if you are considering using this company. While that would not have been my opinion previously things have definitely changed and the talent of the designers and the customer service has decreased significantly.

Additionally, Kylee worked with Charlie and his crew who did a wonderful job installing the tile. I am so pleased with the result!

We highly recommend (10 out of 5 Stars) her as a collaborator in your next remodel or new build.

Bring in Rebecca Quandt Ineriors. My hubby and I hired Rebecca for some consultation on our one bedroom apartment. We moved in over a year and half ago and still haven't seemed to put the place together. Rebecca came over to take measurements and created some amazing 3D drawings of our apartment. And I mean the ENTIRE apartment. Details included pictures we had on the wall and decor on our tables. It really helped us understand what our place would look like before vs. after. She suggested 2 options to layout our apartment and gave us specific measurements for us in regards to furniture we want to replace as well as the new area rugs, drapes and lamp shades. Rebecca offered to help us pick out furniture and when we declined to save $$, she still offered up some websites to check out as she could still help get us a discount. Rebecca was even willing to stay in touch with me as we picked out a couch and coffee table at no extra charge. Little questions like "will this fit because your dimensions didn't allow it?" she answered promptly. When we even picked out the couch we wanted from The Sofa Co, I sent her a picture and asked her if the price we were given was average to similar couches. It turns out she was able to find us the exact couch we wanted for a fraction of the price!!!! I mean, that alone paid for her services plus SAVED US OVER A GRAND!!!!!!! I'm still waiting on our coffee table and area rugs to get delivered next week but I cannot wait to take some after pictures to post!!! I would highly recommend Rebecca's services for the greater LA area for anyone needing interior design assistance and will definitely be using her in the future when we move into a larger home!
