Working with Melanie was a wonderful experience! My goal for the session was a vision and plan for…read moreupdating my condo without breaking my bank account - both were accomplished. As we went through my condo, she immediately made me feel good about where I was at and what was possible. She set realistic ideas, helped me imagine what I could do with what I have today, and she let me dream a bit too. I'm excited to implement what we put together and will certainly reach back out to Melanie as I dig in.

We were thrilled when Melanie had an appointment available. When she arrived, she immediately put…read moreus at ease. She is so friendly, knowledgeable, kind and brilliant. We have been wanting to make some changes and did not know where to begin. We started the two hours completely clueless and ended with a solid, easy-to-follow plan. She is hands on and got right to work. Our living room is now rearranged in a way we had never considered (much more open and accessible) and after she left, we spent the evening there, hanging out as a family. And this weekend we have an action plan to move forward on additional updates. We are relieved, happy and excited! We highly recommend you stop reading these reviews and go book an appt or get on her wait list now. Do it! You can thank us later!

After seeing how well Mary worked with my dad and stuck to his budget, I hired her to assist me…read morewith my new house. She listened to what kind of style I was hoping for and then prepared recommendations for me for my living room, dining room and master bedroom. Her recommendations were spot on and within my budget. As with any new home purchase you can't do everything at once. Mary has been there to help when I run ideas by her and also contacts me when she finds pieces that would work for me. That is service above and beyond. I would most definitely recommend Mary Lynch Design.

We bought decorating services from Mary Lynch Design through a church charity auction. She…read morecouldn't implement the design we agreed to and paid for, so we canceled the order before taking delivery of any items. After we canceled, she sued us for over $6000 beyond what we originally paid. She has yet to provide an accounting for her services provided or claimed. We highly discourage anyone from working with her.

I've known Marianne for over 20 years since she started CocoBello Interiors. Most recently, I hired…read moreher to help us through a complete home remodel. We purchased our forever home on a lake, and she helped us see the vision even prior to purchasing. From there, she walked us through the total redesign (interior and exterior), making materials selections, design choices and communicating with vendors. Her expertise and guidance throughout the entire project has been priceless. She is very well respected in her trade and every contractor, vendor, and showroom that I work with has nothing but wonderful things to say about her. I would highly recommend Marianne for your next design project, large or small!

We have worked with Marianne of CocoBello Interiors twice now: first with a main bathroom remodel…read moreabout 9 years ago and now with updating our main level flooring, lighting, kitchen hardware and paint palette. Both experiences were great. She listened to our functional and style needs and preferences, honored our budget and timeline, gave us many options, and helped us see the potential for what our home could be. She is patient, explains things well, recommended professionals to do the work, and has a great sense of humor. I would definitely work with her again in the future.

I was very intimidated to meet with a designer, but a friend recommended working with Jeralyn…read moreVictoria Mohr, saying she could give us a range of services, from a quick consult to a full design job. Since we hadn't worked with a designer before, we started with the quick consult. Jeralyn was great. She looked at our kitchen and made recommendations that built on what we had already done. She prepared a color palate which she left for us. She then made suggestions on flooring, paint and small ways to accessorize. She charged $150 for two hours - which included a follow up phone call a few months later. The best part about working with Jeralyn, was all of her suggestions were spot on. From color choice, to layout of the room, her ideas fit our personalities but challenged us at the same time. She is a very talented designer. Plus, she's also a great artist. I highly recommend her.

I have been a client of Tiffany's on 4 different projects ranging from a refresh, a new build, and…read morea full interior and exterior gutting. She and her team have created unique, beautiful spaces every single time! Tiffany is high energy, a great listener, and super fun to collaborate with no matter the scale of the project. She is the only person I would consider for any future projects; but I love this last home so much that I hope we stay here forever. Thank you, Tiffany!

She is so fun and easy work with, helped my husband and I (who had very different objectives) align on a vision that truly embodies both of our styles and needs.

After searching Chicagoland for a creative and outstanding design/architect studio I found David…read moreHeide in Minneapolis. We were and are so impressed with his work that we commuted to Minneapolis, and they commuted to us in Lake Forest, IL. Our older home project (Kitchen, small addition, new bathroom, and family room) is nearing completion. From the builder, to the cabinet maker to the other major subs...they have all commented on what an "incredible" project this is. I am so proud of what we (my husband and I) with David, and Brad have created. It exceeds what I hoped for. So much design where we live is predictable, not very creative, and frankly...oversized...for an older home. David Heide, and Brad Belka are masters of restoration, updating, and renovation of older homes and also building from scratch. They understand human scale, materials, practical details, and fine craftspersonship. And, they know that all these elements count in the big picture. While not "cheap", we feel their services are a bargain when I think of what we might have ended up with without their guidance. Check out their portfolio...pictures are worth 1000 words. Also, they have won so many awards. Thank you David, Michael (superb, tasteful interior design), and the always patient Brad.

They always had our interests in mind. They walk you through the process and match you with a builder they trust. They pointed us to Next Level Renovation. It was a perfect recommendation.
