**★★★★★ — karenwrightjames, Aug. 2016**

> Barbee at Details Design was able to accommodate both myself and my husbands colors and style to give us exactly what we wanted with designer flare.  Her color choices were inspired and she has a vision that met with our budget and asprtions.

**★★★★★ — Meyer Skidmore & Co Boulder, CO 80301, Aug. 2015**

> Details Design Studio is by far the best in Colorado. Barbee and her entire team really go above and beyond. I highly recommend them for any interior design needs.

**★★★★★ — kugel, Oct. 2014**

> Details Design has been consistently excellent in all ways.  Barbee is attentive, detail oriented and expects the best from her employees and contractors.  She is a "can do" person.  Barbee is well connected in the community and has years of experience.  She meets deadlines well within reason.  I am completely satisfied with the kitchen remodel and we are now in the middle of a powder room and fireplace install.  I feel she helped us make our home feel more of an expression of who we are.

**Comment from Details Design Studio:**

> Dear Kugel,
> Many thanks for such a nice review!  It's great feedback to hear we are helping make your home feel like an expression of who you are.  We want our projects to be about listening to your desires and making your vision a reality...not ours.
> Much appreciated,
> The Team at Details

**★★★★★ — User, Oct. 2014**

> I have worked with Barbee on multiple remodeling projects and her knowledge, expertise and professionalism are top notch! She and her staff are always very friendly, outgoing and really give you the time necessary to make everything just right! Barbee is awesome in that she takes the time to get to know you so she can make suggestions that are perfect for your needs and what fits your lifestyle. You can't go wrong using Details Design Studio!

**Comment from Details Design Studio:**

> Dear Boulderbeth,
> Thank you for the uplifting 5-star review; we appreciate your taking the time for the write up.  We are pleased to hear that you feel you're getting the desired results from us in your projects as that's our goal.  It's always a pleasure working with you, Boulderbeth!
> Gratefully Submitted,
> The team at Details

**★★★★★ — nonna841, June 2014**

> Instead of being uncertain and stressed out about bringing this house back after years as a rental property, one consulting appointment with Barbee James and I am calm and moving forward with purpose.  I find it fascinating that she not only sees the big picture so readily but also sees the canvas in inches, solving problems I've pondered for months!  Even though I'm working with a small budget, the inexpensive initial recommendations have ensured my comfort in this home while I prepare to take on the bigger projects.  I look forward to a long-term relationship with Barbee and her team and am so grateful that she's willing to share her talents, reflect my personality in the design and stay with me from start to finish.

**Comment from Details Design Studio:**

> Thank you for the kind review! It has been a pleasure working with you, please let us know if there is anything else we can do to make your dreams a reality.

**★★★★★ — Indochine Home & Garden, May 2014**

> Details performed beyond my expectations!  In our remodel Ms. James considered our family life style to the fine points of 'am I right or left handed?' so that we can make sure the electrical outlet for your toothbrush is on the proper side of the sink.
> The re purposing of furniture was used widely rather than buying all new things.  The new things that we did purchase were high quality to last the long run and at great prices!
> We are thrilled with our new remodel!

**★★★★★ — saavihome, May 2014**

> Barbee is a true talent. She has an amazing ability to visualize a beautiful solution to any design challenge.  I could highly recommend her for anyone who would like to get a creative and elegant living space.

**★★★★★ — kaderman, Feb. 2014**

> Barbee James of Details Design Studio is a top notch designer and space planner.  Our project consisted of a home renovation in Boulder foothills which took place while we were still living In another state. Barbee oversaw the renovation work, redesigned our kitchen,master bath, guest bath and powder room. She developed furniture placement, lighting, window coverings and paint. She even helped us move in. I would highly recommend Details for any project.

**★★★★ — Melissa C, Jan. 2013**

> Details Designs helped me dress my daughters' new bunk beds and give the master bed a makeover.  Barbee was very helpful in establishing a palette of fabric options that was not overwhelming and within the style I had outlined.  She was pleasant and helpful and dedicated to installation and follow through.  Barbee kept to the budget and had very good suggestions.

**★★★★★ — lisalewis1, June 2012**

> I hired Barbee and her team for remodeling the master bedroom.  The project included a custom leather and wood headboard, new wall and ceiling paint, popcorn ceiling removal, custom roman shades, custom bedding accessories (bed skirt, duvet cover, shams and boudoir pillow).  Details is a pleasure to work with. They provided detailed cost estimates, completed the work on time and to the estimates, and delivered creative solutions to bring my master bedroom dream to life!  I would definitely hire Barbee James and her team for my next interior design project.
