We recently had the pleasure of working with Katy and Elissa while completely renovating our house. We went from an older home with one bathroom and 1910 stairs to a home we can continue to live in for many years. They guided us with style and common sense. Our house is now a beautiful home. We are extremely happy and grateful to them and would highly recommend them.

Choosing to work with the ladies at Swell Design was hands down the best decision we made upon purchasing a historic home with “good bones” and “lots of potential” once being the kindest things you could say about it. The previous owners were insular “DIY-ers” that left a lot of wrongs to be righted, to put it lightly. The kitchen itself was an huge design job – we needed to magically expand the functional space, without changing the overall floorplan (due to the proximity of the chimney and stairwells). Adding to the challenges, we purchased this home right before interest rates and sale prices peaked, which squeezed our renovation budget ever so tightly.
Extraordinary is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Katy + Elissa. Their ability to take your vision, conceptualize it, the creativity, agility to make changes throughout the design process, and then how they execute on projects is outstanding. If you want to work with a team who will make your home a place you never want to leave, one that reflects who you are, and that your friends + family love - they are for you.
