I didn't have to worry at all about decorating and was able to focus on other things during the shoot. I'll definitely hire her again as she also does events and house staging too.

Since I already had my stuff in boxes and under plastic, I decided I would make some other minor upgrades to spruce-up my home. I contacted Marisa Reed because years ago she chose the paint colors of my massage therapy studio room, and the colors were a perfect fit for the room. It's surprising how color can make a difference. Anyway back to my home, pretty much all my furniture was in the same place as I moved in in 2001. The color of the walls were a couple different hues of beige. My light fixtures were probably the original light fixtures from the 70s when my condo was built. Now thanks to Marisa my home has color and no more beige! We decided on 3 colors, one for each level, and white trim. I have new light fixtures (pretty jazzy looking I might add, all chosen by Marisa) and new blinds too. Marisa also helped me with furniture placement too and in accordance with feng shui principals. With the additions from the QHP and Marisa Reed's interior design, my home feels very grounded and peaceful. I love staying home and enjoying how it feels - like a new home.

Bill is a true craftsman! I've had a wood gate that has needed rebuilding for the last 8 years…read more Pieces of the wood gate were rotting. Over the years, I've had other handymen pass on the project. I had a handyman who was able to fill the rotted areas with wood filler, sand it, and restain it. I've even had a gate company tell me that they could not save the gate; it would need to be completely replaced. Bill was able to cut out the rotted pieces of wood, replace them, and restain the whole gate (he also repainted the decorative hardware on the door as well). Moreover, he discussed the project with a buddy of his and they determined that the gate was sitting over a muddy part of landscaping which is probably what facilitated the deterioration of the wood. We found some leftover pavers in our storage shed and Bill extended the pavers so the gate would sit over pavers instead of mud. Before he embarked on the wood gate repair, Bill also installed a valance/shade over a window. He made the necessary calculations to ensure that the valance/shade would be centered on the wall and window. He also made sure that the valence was leveled. Bill is honest, meticulous and detail-oriented. If you want someone to treat your project and your home, like it's his own, I would give Bill a call.

I hired Kevin to put my rolltop desk back together which he did fine. But then he noticed a spot on…read moremy desktop and said it was an ugly repair and he could make it beautiful. However it turned out even uglier in my opinion. He said if you looked at it from straight on it would not be noticeable, which is true, but from other angles it is a glaring eyesore. He did not tell me it would be beautiful only from one angle and I am very disappointed. So frankly I would not hire him for a repair. This is a reply to your offer. Thank you for your offer to redo the work, but when I expressed concerns after your initial repair, that would have been the time to discuss alternative approaches. At the time you left me with that was just the way it was because of the way light is refracted. I tried to ignore it but it leaps out at you every time you walk by. It is much worse than it was before and 4 times larger. I hired another company to come out and see what they could do. Although their repair still isn't perfect, it is significantly less noticeable. At this point, I don't feel confident that another attempt would achieve the results I would like.

I can't recommend Mindy enough! We hired her for a kitchen remodel and new LVP floors throughout…read morethe house, and she delivered beautiful results within budget and a week early. Mindy was thoughtful in her design and took time to learn the style we were going for. She is efficient and organized, and a great communicator; Mindy sent project updates, revised calendars, and an updated budget every week. The team she works with is fantastic, they always arrived on time, left the job site clean, and completed quality work. They all very much respect Mindy, and that carries over into their craftsmanship. Mindy's pricing is very reasonable, she has designer discounts with almost all vendors, and she is great at providing options at different price points. Remodels aren't a picnic, especially when you're living at home during the construction. That said, Mindy made the process as smooth as possible. She gave us a very detailed idea of what to expect, told us exactly what we needed to pack up and when, and expertly scheduled her subs to complete the project efficiently. Our new kitchen and floors are stunning, and they turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Mindy exceeded our expectations; we are so glad we chose to work with her! Mindy is a must!

While I ran my business, Mindy created a beautiful living space. There were times when I would go weeks without seeing the project, and I was always overjoyed when I saw the progress. Her design expertise is off the charts...she really makes it seem easy. Mindy handled everything professionally and accurately. Communication was great and she was always just a text or phone call away. In addition, she provided updated spreadsheets, showing where we were on the budget and timeline. Mindy is VERY ORGANIZED, and I was never wondering where we were financially, or progress wise. Mindy had all the right people that came in on-time and on-budget. I was also very impressed with her relationships with her vendors, they all seemed like family to her. They respected her and it showed in their commitment to schedule, quality, and best of all price. My friends are blown away by how great the entire house looks, and even more impressed when I tell them the budget I worked with. I have had several people asking about my paint color and flooring name. Mindy nailed it all, and she made it seem so very easy. I think the best part, besides Mindy's pleasant and caring personality, was the creativeness she brought to each room. She remodeled three bathrooms for me and each one is incredible, yet unique from the others. It really brings the "wow" factor to the entire house. Five Stars is not enough to describe how I feel about working with Mindy. I highly recommend her.

Please don't make our mistake. Ultimately, Jaki did not understand our vision and kept pushing her design preferences on us. We had to fully create our own PowerPoint deck with reference photos to get our ideas across room by room; source our own tile (when she claimed the design we wanted didn't exist in the tile we wanted); ordered the wrong quantity of products; among many other issues. Additionally when we chose not to use her preferred contractor, she became even more difficult to work with. She claimed she didn't know how to use IKEA's closet building tool to help us build our master closet, was always running late to our meetings; nor did she know how to use Gmail to schedule said meetings. Due to COVID and vendor supply issues our renovation took much longer than anyone expected. But the most egregious and unprofessional behavior was when she quit the job BEFORE any of the fixtures she ordered were even installed. She literally took our money and ran. We were still in the middle of our renovation and had been project managing the majority of the work ourselves. To reiterate-- we paid Jaki in full for her services but she would not even honor returns or exchanges for products that we DID NOT install (because they didn't end up working in our space and were misrepresented in the renderings). In the end, we had to go directly to the vendor ourselves, who graciously honored the exchange given that we had such a terrible time trying to get that through Jaki. The whole experience has been extremely disappointing and we would not recommend her services.
