I've worked with Buddy's design and contracting services for the past 22 years, and over that time…read morehe has decorated and renovated two of my apartments. One project was a full transformation: kitchen, both bathrooms, and complete interior decorating. He brings a fresh style but also advised us to preserve elements of our home that were worth keeping. He continues to work with us to modernize our apartment while maintaining character. He customized our renovations to make our apartment into a wonderful home. From contracting management to design vision and finishing details, Buddy and his team handle everything seamlessly. Having one person oversee both the aesthetic and the execution makes the process incredibly smooth and cohesive. After more than two decades of working together, I can confidently say his experience, eye for design, and hands-on expertise truly set him apart. We have recommended him to many friends and recommend him to those reading this review. You will be delighted!

Everytime I walk into my newly renovated apartment, which was so perfectly executed, I feel like…read moreI'm the main character in a home makeover show. The 'before' shots would feature a cute home, but with signs of aging. Fraying wooden cabinets, and little to no natural light in my bedroom. Now this is all modernized, updated, and thoughtfully designed. Connecting with Buddy via Yelp's Request a Quote feature was lucky, because I got no replies from other businesses I contacted first or was told they couldn't take on my project. I'm thankful because Buddy was actually the right person with the right vision for my space. I had been living with a not optimized closet space and the aforementioned fraying wooden cabinets, as well as my bedroom lacking natural light for years. I had heard one too many contractor nightmare stories that caused me to be ultra cautious so I hesitated to contact anyone. I once hired a virtual interior designer which was a total waste of time/money. Enter Buddy, who is not only a creative visionary with a solid contractor team he's worked with for over a decade, but he's also a licensed therapist, and says that contributes to how he handles spaces, which totally makes sense. In the first consultation with Buddy, he paced around my space and rattled off so many wild ideas, some of which sounded fantastical and unrealistic but he made into reality. The initial consultation fee initially made me wince but now sounds like such a deal when in hindsight I realize he gave me the blueprint to my beautiful new reality. I would not have thought to float my couch in the middle of the living room instead of against the wall, facing the best feature of my apartment-- the view. When I was concerned about where to put the TV, he came up with a customized solution. A mechanized wooden box where the TV rises and falls with the push of a button. It sounds so futuristic but now it's part of my life. His contractor team is so awesome too. They handled all my things with care, and not only did they not disturb my plants, which we kept in the apartment during the renovation, they took care of them too! So sweet. It's been several months now and living in my transformed space has really changed my relationship with my home. My living situation used to feel compromised, but now it really feels like a thoughtful expression of who I am. I've already hosted several parties and get togethers in my home, because the new space is way more amenable to hosting, something Buddy picked up about me after meeting. Buddy's organization (we worked out of a spreadsheet which was a dream for my Type A self), and responsiveness throughout the process really eased my nerves about the project. He and his team took genuine care of my possessions and space that it made the renovation process almost enjoyable. Thank you Buddy, for transforming the daily experience of being in my space. You really delivered something exceptional.

In Brooklyn, she created a refined, cozy atmosphere that still feels modern and livable. In the Catskills, she leaned into the character of the old home but made it fresh and inviting.

If you want someone who truly cares about the space you live in, she's the one.

This was my first time working with an interior designer. I posted my residential project on Bark…read moreand CSW design reached out to me the same day. Catarine asked me questions about the project and then asked my boyfriend and I to fill out a questionnaire to get more specifics about the project and our style. My situation was unique, as my boyfriend and I are young new homebuyers with a tight budget and very unique space. We needed help designing our 750sq ft studio loft apartment. Although not her typical client, Catarine agreed to help us. Shortly after that phone conversation we agreed to work together and set up an in person time to meet. Catarine and her team came early, measured the space and spent a good amount of time speaking with me about the project. During our initial consultation, we scheduled the presentation for two weeks later. Presentation day- WOW, my boyfriend and I were blown away with the thought, time, detail, and creativity that went into the presentation. Catarine had us step into another room so that she can lay out everything perfectly on our island. She had a presentation board, slide show, video, print outs, and all the paper work organized by room. She also had several options for each room. I could have never thought of positioning furniture in ways that she did. I also didn't even think of placing certain pieces of furniture in specific spaces. She was able to show us what could be, and it was phenomenal. I am excited to see what the finished product looks like! I will write a follow up review.

They researched items extensively, made a very professional presentation, organized targeted shopping trips, kept the accounts and payment system in order, kept on top of vendors and delivery days, and personally attended during installation days. The communication was excellent, I was confident to give them the keys to the apartment. They came to every meeting fully prepared and were able to make amendments to adjust the budget and style. I will use them again for 2 other projects. This is a very professional company.

The bedroom came out even better than the design drawing and gives a real "Wow" factor when you walk in. The modern clean design is inviting and easy to maintain. Michel started with a story board took into consideration every detail requested - from color, texture and functionality. The master bathroom is exactly what I envisioned with a sleek Asian feel. The large tile and free-standing tub makes the room look luxurious. He designed in plenty of storage with a large mirrored cabinet and under the sink draws.There is a heated floor, towel warmer, large walk in shower and a custom sink/counter top that is all one piece of stone. The shelf along the sink, that continues into the shower area is beautiful and functional. Michel is friendly and easy to work with, taking your wish list and producing a design that is exactly (and more) than you envisioned. He is always available to discuss the project and is willing to think outside the box to make things work, and he will collaborate closely with the contractor to make sure everything is right.
