She spent time with me asking questions and learning about our goals before preparing a bid. She provided great tips during the initial walk through of the project for areas that were outside of the scope of work, ensuring that the project would be cohesive to the rest of the home. She was thoughtful about budget, but also pointed out areas that were worth investing in and would have a high impact. Elena helped us with a new layout for the kitchen and family room; for both she provided clear, multi-viewed mock-ups and dimensions for three different looks. Once we selected, she took it further and provided us with drawings and measurements sufficiently detailed for us to give to our cabinetmaker. **★★★★★ — HU-342350534, Feb. 2024** > I have used Elena twice for design services!! She is extremely prompt with her communication and I find her 3D designs so incredibly helpful to see your vision on a screen before it comes to life. She’s great with size and scale for rooms and works with your budget and tells you where you should invest on great quality. And she had a great eye for design and style. I highly recommend. **★★★★★ — evm424, Dec. 2023** > I’m so grateful my friend recommended Elena for my house refresh. She did a great job selecting furniture for our bedroom and living room. She also helped me make excellent choices on living wood floor, upstairs carpet and wall paint color for the entire house; everything go seamlessly together, house looks light, airy and cozy just as I envisioned it. Elena is very knowledgeable about materials and can steer you in the right direction to avoid costly mistakes. In addition, she is very nice person and easy to work with, I would absolutely recommend her for any design needs! **★★★★★ — Jeri Rizzi, Jan. 2023** > So we finally decided the time was right to do a major remodel of our home which included 3 bathrooms, new paint colors throughout, new flooring in both up and downstairs, added storage cabinets, and reworking our den fireplace. The question was where to begin - so many choices and decisions- too many! > > Enter Elena of D-Lena Designs. She made the process and design choices easy for us after we initially met for consultation. She was highly recommended from friends in our neighborhood and after working with her and seeing our home design come to fruition, we too would highly recommend using a designer- especially Elena. > > She helped us secure a reputable contractor and helped steer our preferences into a coherent, fluid outline to go along with our lifestyle and home dreams. When it’s time for our next project, we know who will be calling. > > Jeri and John Rizzi **★★★★★ — hyelee1979, April 2022** > My husband and I got overwhelmed with renovating our kitchen and bathrooms so we decided to reach out to Elena to help us design and manage the project. We’re so glad we made that decision! Her vision and design was everything we didn’t know we needed! We are absolutely in love with our finished space and it’s largely due to Elena. Her working relationship with our contractor made what could’ve been a very stressful project very manageable, too. On top it all, she was very responsive to our feedbacks and concerns and was very respectful. Bonus, her rates were very reasonable, much better than what others quoted. **★★★★★ — HU-174416536, April 2022** > Elena was amazing to work with and always super responsive to all my questions. She has amazing taste and I’m so glad to have met her!!
