“Carte Blanche - Sakkara, helped us with designing a comfortable yet functional entertaining basement. Her ideas were fresh, stylish and did more than expected within our budget. Customer service was exceptional. It was my first time getting an interior designer but she walked me through the process and was very patient and understanding with us.”

“Chad was great to work with! After 8 years with a large empty stairwell wall I was so excited to work with Chad to design a picture wall. He really listened to what I was looking for and made it a reality. I truly LOVE my picture wall and so many people love it when they walk in my house. I used to see this type of wall in magazines only and love that one is in my house telling my families story.”

“Highly recommend. We have used Julie's color design consulting regularly over the past several years. In each case she has successfully assisted in determining the right color scheme based on multiple variables. Julie's expertise covers allrange of situationss from just moving in to updating the overall look to preparing a home for sale. Each for these requires someone who understands the goal and can convert that knowledge into the perfect rselections leading to the desired esult. Julie is outstanding at each aspect in the process.”

“Meredith is an amazing designer. It is apparent she loves her job. She understood my style, my needs and my budget. When I wanted an item that did not fit into my budget, she found a way to make it fit or explained to me why this would put the project over budget and found alternatives when necessary. She designed our rental condo unit in the city, which was a clean slate and our new offices for my market research company. I always felt comfortable expressing my opinion and she was always quick to change out an item if I expressed doubt about it. I believe using Meredith actually saved me money while still achieving my goals and meeting my deadlines. I can't wait to work with Meredith on my next project-a basement design.”

“We initially engaged with Kristin Petro Designs, Inc. for space planning during the architectural phase of our new home construction. Ms. Petro was knowledgeable and definitive, making many suggestions that significantly altered the original plan. These included room sizes, locations, patio designs and complete change on the location of our stairs. We were so impressed with her work, we engaged with her again for home planning. Ms. Petro helped us establish budgets after a thorough review of our style. She worked diligently to ensure we worked within these constraints and assembled a flow of material that would be impossible for us to coordinate on our own. Not only are we extremely satisfied with her design acumen, but her CAD skills utilized for all custom cabinet elevations allowed us to properly bid custom cabinet suppliers. The savings on this alone was an unanticipated silver lining. At the onset, I was against the use of any designer, but would not build another house without one. Ms. Petro gets an A+.”

“We had the pleasure of working with Gemma to update our family room and kitchen. The results are outstanding! Gemma's incredible eye for design and extremely professional working style made the project a pleasure from start to finish. Gemma has an excellent eye for detail and architecture. She took my many inspiration photos and created new spaces that feel as though they've always been in our home. She thought of every last detail, so the spaces feel truly finished. Gemma is a great communicator and there were no surprises. She was clear about what our budget would permit, and was creative about making it work. She has excellent taste and has clear opinions, which helped me make good decisions. Gemma has outstanding resources in Chicago and long working relationships with those vendors -- it was clear how much they trust and respect her taste. From furniture to artwork to window treatments to accessories, she can make anything happen. We are thrilled with the outcome and would absolutely work with her again. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone.”

“I hired Danny to do some interior design in our new home. I didn't have a clear vision what I wanted done- but I knew that the space wasn't being utilized to its fullest. Danny was WONDERFUL! After meeting with him ONE time and discussing "sort of" what we wanted- he RAN with it and in a very timely manner provided us with several "options" for us to review . He was VERY professional, always easy to get in touch with (should we have any questions or wanted to dialog about our options)- and he stuck within our budget! He was very forthcoming with our invoices as things were purchased so there was no surprises! I couldn't be any happier with the end result! And I would recommend him to all my closest friends and family in a heartbeat!! GREAT WORK, awesome to work with and would 100% would use him again!! What a great experience!!”

“Michael's work is first class! He is a true proffessional.”

“I have used Amber's services for two major projects-a complete kitchen remodel and also a re-decorating project of a first floor space including a living, dining, family and powder room. The kitchen remodel was both very technical as we were designing cabnetry and a new layout for appliances as well as design focused. I thought Amber nailed both parts of the project. My kitchen was amazing and everyone who saw it commented on how fantastic it had turned out. The re-decorating project focuses on furniture, lighting, wall coverings and art work. Again, I couldn't be more happier with the results. We host numerous events, including a 150 person holiday party, and I have had many requests for Amber's contact information as people love my new spaces. Amber is a pleasure to work with, always on top of her projects, great with budgets and follow-through and extremely business-like. Her CPA background coupled with her interior design degree sets her apart from any other decorator I have worked with. She not only has an amazing eye, but her business skills are lasor focused.”
