Ashley staged the home we purchased, and her work made such an impression that we hired her to design and furnish our new home end-to-end, from furniture to décor and everything in between. Ashley has a rare combination of taste, speed, and practicality. She found unique, beautiful, fun pieces we would never have discovered on our own, and she pulled them together in a way that feels cohesive, intentional, and welcoming. The furniture, rugs, pillows, artwork, lighting, and finishing touches all work together beautifully. She also has a real talent for blending styles--she mixed contemporary, mid-century, and antiques into a look that feels curated and elevated, yet still warm and livable. The final result feels expensive without being too expensive, and comfortable the way a home should be. Her sourcing was excellent and flexible: local stores, online options, and some standout secondhand finds at significant discounts. Throughout the process, Ashley was energetic, responsive, collaborative, and adaptable to our preferences. She made us feel like we were her number one priority even though it was clear she was balancing multiple projects. She's truly a joy to work with, and we couldn't be happier. We give Refresh Denver our highest recommendation.

For us, we believe a home should be a place of peace, happiness and comfort. From the moment we met Becky, her energy and passion for the work she does was immediately apparent.

Overall, her vision, passion, and adaptability make her a no brainier for high quality interior decorating services. What a find.

I initially had a great experience with Jaime Langer and genuinely believe she has strong design…read moreskills. However, my overall experience with her ended in deep disappointment and frustration. If you choose to work with her, do not let her refer you to Hummingbird HRD (Crystal and Brian Mansanares), as that is where everything unraveled. Jaime first helped me after a Christmas morning plumbing disaster, and at the outset, she was fantastic--quick to respond, knowledgeable, and actively engaged in creating thoughtful layouts. Because things seemed to be going well, we also hired her for additional design work in our kitchen and living room. But when she referred us to Hummingbird as the general contractor, she stepped away entirely, leaving us in the hands of an inexperienced team that led to an overpriced, incomplete, and poorly executed renovation. Where Things Went Wrong Jaime and Crystal turned out to be personal friends rather than longtime collaborators, and our home was essentially a "guinea pig project"--a fact Jaime admitted only after things had gone terribly wrong. The staggering lack of professionalism from Hummingbird resulted in months of stress, wasted money, and a home that remains unfinished to this day. After Crystal declared the project "done" (despite glaringly poor workmanship), I asked Jaime to see the state of things herself. She agreed with me that the quality was unacceptable and even apologized for how badly things had turned out. She admitted that Crystal lacked the necessary experience and recognized that we had been unintentionally used as a test project. To make matters worse, she also told me, "Wow, I didn't realize you were so detail-oriented--I would feel exactly the same." As if they thought they could get away with subpar work and I wouldn't notice--truly insulting. Jaime's Final Disappointing Choice To her credit, Jaime convinced Crystal and Brian to attempt to fix their mess, but she ultimately abandoned the project. Despite personally acknowledging all the flaws, she later sent me a completely contradictory statement: "I have every faith in Hummingbird completing the project as promised, and overall, I believe they have done an exceptional job." This project was supposed to take 4-6 weeks starting in March--it was still dragging on in November, at which point I cut ties entirely because it was no longer worth the emotional toll. To this day, our home remains unfinished and cheap-looking, a painful reminder of the stress and financial loss we endured. What We Actually Got for Jaime's Fees After paying her design fees for both the bathroom and kitchen/living room, all we truly received was: * Layout options * A recommendation for Hummingbird (which proved disastrous) * Help selecting a kitchen table and rug Had we gone with a different general contractor, I might be writing a glowing five-star review. Unfortunately, given how this played out, I cannot recommend Jaime Langer at all.

I moved to Denver about a year ago, and for the first 2 months only had an air mattress. I don't know the first thing about interior design and needed help to make my place feel like a home. Both Elizabeth and Adriele worked with me from the planning, sourcing, and staging phases. They were incredibly professional, timely with their responses, and very patient as it took time for me to make final decision. They never rushed me and were super understanding. From a technical standpoint, my space was tricky because I live in a 490 sq ft studio. It can be real hard trying to find pieces that maximize functionality, storage, and aesthetics. I am happy to report that they managed to do all of those things, and then some. Whenever I move, they will be my first call. I can't recommend them enough.

If you're building a new home or working on a large project, read this before signing a contract…read morewith Inside Stories. We hired Inside Stories for a large new construction home that had not yet broken ground. Before signing, they spoke extensively about helping with critical early decisions like cabinetry, tile, plumbing fixtures, accent walls, lighting, and courtyard design, all things you need early to work with a GC, build a realistic budget, and secure a construction loan. After signing, it became clear that none of that information would be released until we paid for furniture through them. That timeline does not work for new construction. Furniture is selected last, while cabinetry, fixtures, lighting, and finishes are needed much earlier. By the time their process allows those details to be released, it is too late to be useful. Their milestones may work for small projects, but they are not structured to support large new builds. We were effectively paying for design services we could not use when we needed them. Their business model also appears heavily dependent on furniture sales. Specifications and usable documentation are withheld until furniture is paid for, creating a situation where clients are financially committed before receiving meaningful deliverables. In our case, it felt like the process was designed to trap us financially before giving us anything of real value. We paid a $10,000 deposit and an additional $15,000 design payment. When we terminated the contract after realizing the process would not work for our project, Inside Stories acknowledged they had only performed $4,950 of billable work. By their own accounting, this meant they owed us a negative balance of $20,050. However, they refused to return this overpayment, claiming they were entitled to keep it because they had supposedly provided significant "intellectual property." This is bogus in my opinion. The contract says nothing about forfeiting refunds due to IP, and what they gave us was a PowerPoint that mainly consisted of inspiration images, some provided by us and some selected by them. Regardless, it does not seem proprietary or usable to me, and it provides no real value to our project. These were just reference images meant for them to work from, not something we can build from or use. I even reverse image searched several images and found them on other websites and Instagram, not anything suggesting original IP. We cannot build from it, budget from it, or use it in any meaningful way. Even more frustrating, they admitted the work completed totaled only $4,950, based on hourly rates they set, not us, yet they still insist on keeping over $20,000 beyond that amount. Our advice: be extremely careful. Make sure milestones are tied to specific, usable deliverables, and understand that under their model, you may pay substantial amounts long before receiving information you need to move your project forward.
