Tammy, Veronika and Niall are all a pleasure to work with and great at what they do. Houseplay is thorough, organized, professional, and reasonable. They worked on our nursery while we were awaiting the arrival of our baby girl and we couldn't be happier with how the room turned out. We would definitely work with Houseplay again and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor that checks all of the boxes.

We look forward to using her services again on our next project.

I loved Affordable Interior Design so much I used it twice. I worked with Betsy both times - first…read moremoving into a one bedroom from a studio and getting all new furniture, then moving into a new one bedroom with a totally different layout and re-using as much as possible. As a bachelor without design sense it was one of the best investments I could have made. It saved me so much time and anxiety about which pieces to pick and every single person who has visited has been amazed by how nicely decorated my apartment is. The process is exactly as described by other reviewers - introductory call, questionnaire, in home visit, and follow up call a week or two later with a mood board and shopping list. Betsy was incredibly personable and easy to talk to. I was also impressed with how much her suggestions matched my style even though I didn't have the vocabulary to communicate it. Everything fit within my constraints and preferences and Betsy helped with follow up questions and suggestions as pieces came in and as I decided to swap out a few pieces.

Throughout this ambitious project, they proved to be optimistic problem solvers. They seamlessly worked with the engineer and contractor to install central air conditioning, navigated the demands of the building's board, and met the ever-changing requirements of the city's building department. Marissa assured our place would be different from everyone else's by reflecting my eclectic style of mid-century modern, contemporary, industrial and LA glam. My wife and I share the core value of spending time with those we love. Because of Marissa's creativity and attention to detail, our beautiful home is the perfect place to do that.

Like why certain pieces look best together, how dimensions affect design, and even the scheduling process. Instead of getting furniture and accessories in a little at a time, everything was set up on one day for a fun and exciting grand reveal. Our calming primary bedroom is just our style and the custom cabinets with built-in bar and display cases make our lounge multi-functional. The Design MACS team were so accommodating and flexible as our project grew. It was a great experience. Laura

This review isn't on the store, as I never set foot in it, but rather on the owner. I was outside…read morethe shop with my 2 year old son and his 2 year old cousin one Sunday morning after the whole extended family had breakfast next door at Raymonds (which was delicious!). While we waited for family to finish their goodbyes, the 2 toddlers were having fun on the sidewalk chasing each other (which isn't terribly fast considering they are 2 year olds) and giggling. The owner came out and was huffing and puffing and grumbling under her breath then walked back in. A few minutes later she came back out and muttered more audibly "ridiculous" and "can't believe...". So, I asked the owner what was wrong. She said I should know damn well what was wrong. I said no, maybe she could tell me. She said the kids were driving people away from the shop. At 11am on a lazy Sunday, I doubt 2 toddlers are driving people away from an antique shop; I told her this, politely but firmly. At this point she became even more agitated and, raising her voice so patrons at the nearby restaurant could here, threatened to call the police. To call the police on 2 toddlers. Really? I was flabbergasted and asked her to please go ahead and call the police on 2 small children. At this she huffed and puffed and walked away. We left a few minutes later. But the experience was quite unsettling with her. I get it is her shop, and she wants to project an atmosphere inviting for people to come in. But to come and yell and threaten to call the police on 2 toddlers outside the store? Really? Reading from the other reviews on this site on the owner, this does not surprise me.
