I wanted a remodel for my drab deck/backyard space but I am not the most creative person. I reached…read moreout to Ashley at Novel Designs and was SO impressed! She took all of the guesswork out of the remodel by showing me specific designs of what it could look like. I was really nervous at the beginning because I have no design skills whatsoever and thought I would be overwhelmed with choices but she made it so easy! She really listened to what I said my basic style is and, knowing my fear of too many options, was able to show me a few specific examples for the end result. From there I was able to mix and match from those the designs to create my perfect backyard! Would definitely use her services again!!! 10/10!

I am newer to the Airbnb experience and the New Orleans area. I was really nervous about finding…read morethe right place to stay for my needs. I sent an inquiry for a cute little flat, and to my delight, was given the BEST service by White Spider! The agents were so quick to respond to my questions, find near by restaurants and even went as far as looking up tours in the area! When I ended up needing to extend my stay and the home I was in was unavailable, they pointed me to another home I ended up LOVING even more than the other! Overall, if I could thank this lovely group in person, I would. They helped a girl afraid of getting lost in a new place, find the best vacation ever!

We've used White Spider for more than two years to manage our New Orleans rental property and have…read morebeen very impressed with their service. In a fluctuating industry, this company has thrived because they have kept their eye on client service (for both property owners and guests) and attention to detail.  They know the short term rental business as well as anybody, staged our property beautifully and priced/marketed it smartly from the onset to generate positive reviews and the right momentum.  Their concierge work has been stellar, with our guests providing overwhelmingly positive reviews on responsiveness and cleanliness (we get "sparking clean" commentary from nearly every guest).  Highly recommended if you're looking for AirBnB property management in New Orleans.

Kelly Sutton is excellent. Shari V and I used her for a house renovation. It was a big deal for…read moreus. This was our first house and more importantly, our first house renovation. There were so many moving parts to our project. Kelly helped with almost every facet of the project. Does Kelly Sutton have great taste? Probably. Sutton House looks really cool and that's her style. But if you check out our house, it's not to Kelly's style. It's ours. Sutton helps you find your own style. In my case, Sutton politely and smartly ignored most of my style (imagine dogs playing poker) and helped Shari V find hers. They are a good combination. I thought interior designers helped with paint colors, throw pillows and things like that. KS completely changed my perspective. For example, house plans. Sutton was intimately involved with the design of the house. She had tons of input on space, flow, lighting, plumbing. And house design is just one example. Sutton was helped us think about things that only industry insiders know to worry about. We are at the tail end of long project. I cannot imagine going through this project without the services of Sutton House. I am certain we will use Sutton House again.

Heidi is great! I…read moreasked for an hour of her time to help me choose colors for my loft. She really has a great eye for choosing colors.

My husband and I contracted Heidi Mortensen to help us out of a jam with painting the interior of…read moreour new home. She came as a referral from the store where we bought our paint, after we had become stuck with our paint test patches. Since we were going for bold, bright, strong colors we didn't want to screw it up. And there was a GREAT potential to screw it up. Enter Heidi. She was amazing. I went around for weeks later telling everyone who cared (or pretended to) that the hour and a half she spent with us was the best $$ we spent in the whole project. No lie. Her normal service is geared to take people through the entire process of selecting color for their home, but my husband and I were on a budget and we already KNEW about what we wanted color-wise but we couldn't nail the right shades. She came in and just charged her hourly rate to help us through the jam, narrowing our issues by listening to us both describe what we each had in mind for the color gold for example, and working from there. She was so amazing. We did the 3 rooms we were stuck on, along with the rest of the house, in an hour and a half flat. All of the colors looked warm and inviting (our goal) and the different colors throughout the house flowed well together. She got us unstuck for an extremely reasonable price. And anyone who has painted an entire room the wrong shade knows what a nightmare it is time and money-wise, to fix. What was also great about Heidi was her willingness to be flexible with us, and not insisting on sticking to her normal routine (which involves several visits and is I am sure, a more thorough and complete service). She came in and did a scaled down visit at our request which was what enabled us to hire her. She also does interior design but I am specifically here to rave about her paint consulting. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help with painting their home.

Ned Marshall has designed our homes for over thirty years. He is incredibly talented, possessing a…read moreprofound knowledge of diverse styles, including their historical precedent. More than being just knowledgeable, Ned has something that for the most part can't be taught: great taste. He decorates with eclectic panache, mixing styles in a pleasing and natural way that's not forced or pretentious. Another strong asset is his use of color. Often today decorators seem to resort to all neutrals, which certainly can be beautiful and elegant but can also become boring. Ned is not afraid to use color and will offset it in striking ways against the neutrals. Finally, Ned listens to his clients. He doesn't come with a one-style-fits-all mentality. His portfolio reveals his flexibility better than this description can, so be sure to check it out. Scott and Janet Howard
