I came to her feeling stuck, needing a fresh perspective that wouldn't break the bank. From our very first meeting at the project site, I was blown away by Dede's ability to take the reins. She asked thoughtful, insightful questions, genuinely took the time to understand my tastes, and consistently reassured me that she would provide multiple options to fit my budget-- Sweet! While the project isn't finished yet, I couldn't wait to share how impressed I am with her incredible design vision and her seamless collaboration with our contracting team. Dede is not just talented--she's a joy to work with. If you're looking for someone who will bring your ideas to life and make the process enjoyable, I highly recommend Tave Design Studio and, most of all, Dede herself!

We had the pleasure of working with Jill Finn of TANGERINEdesign LLC when our longtime designer was…read moreunavailable -- so she walked into a situation where we were already feeling a bit off balance. But from day one, Jill exceeded our expectations. The project involved tearing down an old, dilapidated screened-in porch that had never really worked for us -- too cold in the winter, too hot in the summer -- and transforming it into a usable interior room. We wanted to keep the light and airy feel of a porch while gaining insulation, comfort, and year-round usability. We also wanted ideas for built-ins: maybe a window seat, maybe bookshelves -- we weren't quite sure. Other contractors over the years had taken one look at the porch and declined to get involved due to its age and condition. Not Jill. She had ideas right away. Jill brings so much energy, creativity, and practical knowledge to the table. Even while juggling big personal commitments (like her son's graduation across the country), she delivered several strong design ideas within a few weeks -- and they were fresh, inspiring, and budget-conscious. She collaborated easily with our civil engineer, adjusting her drawings quickly to meet his needs. She also understands our local codes and regulations really well, and met directly with our contractors to make sure her designs were realistic and executable before we got too far into the process. On top of all that, Jill has a fantastic personality. She made the experience fun and engaging, and she brought a sense of momentum and confidence that really helped us move forward. I can't recommend Jill highly enough -- her creativity, responsiveness, and enthusiasm make her a true gem. If you're considering working with TANGERINEdesign LLC, you're in excellent hands.

As part of this process, HQR sat down with us to go over our design ideas and created incredibly realistic 3D renderings of the kitchen. We were blown away when we saw the 3D renderings because it gave us the confidence that the kitchen would look just as great as we imagined it would be. The 3D renderings also helped us make some small design revisions to the plan, which we wouldn't have thought to do without the renderings (such as two pendant lights vs. three). All in all, I highly recommend getting these realistic renderings done ahead of time.

When the orders arrived, 2 of them were fitted incorrectly. The installer needed to re-order 2 blinds. The second attempt to install the blinds, the vertical blinds were still the incorrect size. A new order was placed. The vertical blinds were installed yet were still too short. We had to call to have a person look at the short vertical blinds. The installer told us it was about 4 inches too short and re-ordered them for us. We are attempt number three and the blinds are still too short. This is looking like an endless debacle to correct. You need to look elsewhere. Take your money to a more reliable and efficient company whose employees know how to measure correctly.

What we received was a cheaper version. We had much trouble raising and lowering them. They would catch and get stuck. We struggled with that for a year and finally called and made an appointment to have them looked at. The person that came out said that the installer didn't adjust the pulley tensioner correctly. He adjusted it and they worked better, but we're noisy and not smooth like the rest of our blinds. Finally eight months later while lowering them they fell down completely. I called 3 day Blinds and they gave me a phone number for us to call for an appointment. I was put on hold and got hung up on. This was on Thursday.I called back and was told the soonest appointment would be Monday. I Asked to speak to a supervisor. Again I was given a number to call (they couldn't transfer the call) so I called and got a recording. After following directions to get to a person, I was told flatly, "we're closed goodbye" and was disconnected. We paid a premium price of over $1500. For this and will have to start all over to try and get them put back up. Beware, very disappointed. Several years ago we had them install Hunter Douglas for us in other rooms and had no problems. It's very sad to see how they have gone down in quality and service.
