Interior Design near Newbury

“We had a wonderful experience working with Lisa and highly recommend her. Beginning with our first meeting and all the way to our final design plan, Lisa was personable, professional, and easy to talk with. She listened to our needs and the style we wanted to achieve. We found her tips and suggestions extremely helpful. All the items she selected captured the look we were hoping for. We are so pleased with the final result.“

“Lisa and Derek are great to work with. They helped us build a wonderful detached in-law accessory dwelling unit (ADU) that is so aesthetically matched you’d think it was original! As for other considerations:

• Design: we worked with them and their recommended architect from conception to completion. They thoroughly maintained the vision we initially had in mind, matched custom level details (like window trim, flooring, and colors), and were very receptive of questions, comments, or concerns with anything along the way. Their team helped to provide recommendations when we were clueless, and receptive to details or change requests.
• Knowledge: while they work with several internal and external contractors, their industry knowledge is fantastic (especially their electrician). I had concerns about recent changes to electrical or building codes and they were very well aware and on top of them from as recent as 6 months prior. If they’re doing work, they’re doing it correct the first time. If I had recommendations that made sense to me, Derek was easily able to explain if it was a sound call or if there was a potential issue with it. And all conversations were professional and well-detailed so I knew exactly what and why.
• Availability: whether text, phone, or email, Derek, Lisa, and team were VERY responsive to us. If there was an issue they were over in as little as an hour or two in order to address it. Their attention to customer care was always forefront.
• Timeline: this is probably true with any company in construction, but we ran a few months behind schedule from the proposal (it was literally a new house build from foundation up). It delayed some things on our end from happening, but it was still completed and we are satisfied with the results.
• Cost: we had expectations of quite a bit less than the quoted amount, but based on fixed cost contracts we felt it was a safer alternative than time and materials which could have ballooned to much more based on the longer timeline we ended up with. We had friends that ended up paying about 80% more based on time and materials with other contractors. Our expectations were also based on early-pandemic pricing and “additions”, not ground-up builds. Pricing has gone up quite a bit in materials alone in the last 5 years, regardless of contractors. All in all we were so comfortable with the quality, reputation, and local aspect that the cost just made sense in the end.
In the end, we would HIGHLY recommend them, without hesitation, and are definitely considering them for future renovation work in our main residence.“

“Anna and her team helped me transform a waterfront cottage to a warm and cozy space which is loved by residents and guests alike. The design assistance was effective and creative, maximizing the available vistas; the furnishings and accessory selection was a delightful process matching new and old in order to provide contemporary flair with seaside charm. Through it all Anna was mindful of the budget and schedule. She is truly a unique talent and I look forward to working with her again.“

“I have been working many years with Jenn on design projects for our home. She helped pull together our home after working with other designers who did not deliver. Jenn is very professional and very knowledgeable. She offers many thoughtful and creative ideas on how to do the project and the best way to invest your design dollars. She is a stickler to detail. Jenn is a very good listener and has an incredible knack of determining what can and cannot work. Jenn's assessment of the design project has always been on point. She did an incredible job bringing our home together by creating much better flow and function, as well as making it look really beautiful with paint, construction, furniture and accessories.Jenn has many resources to get the job done and works well with other professional. She keeps current with the design trends. She is not timid in speaking up if she sees or hears something that she believes will not work.We are embarking on a new project, a new home and are happy to have Jenn by our side. Jenn will not disappoint you.“

“I have had the pleasure of working with Mat and his team for the design of my personal home. I can not say enough of the efforts expelled to the attention of detail and to my needs as a client. Looking back through the process i can truly say i would not change a thing in the process or the final design of my home. My experience was absolutely great. You can tell each of the staffed involved care about the client relationship.“
