**★★★★★ — drmikehansen, June 2013**

> Duncan Hughes transformed our condo into a place that is both aesthetically pleasing and completely functional for our family. He is a delight to work with, focusing first and foremost on the needs and perspectives of the clients and working magic to transform them into reality.
> We always felt  heard and the vision was an amazing interpretation of what we expressed, yet also felt that there were new and improved ideas that we would never have thought of -- which is what we want from an expert!
> One thing in particular we really appreciated was an understanding of how to create a place that worked for a growing child yet didn't at all look like it (e.g., beautiful storage pieces for supplies, sturdy yet elegant furniture).
> Plus, working with Duncan was truly fun.
> We have just hired him again to work on another project, which is of course the best recommendation we can give.

**Comment from Duncan Hughes Interiors:**

> Your project was one of my favorites. Thanks for the positive review!  You all were a great delight to work with, and I am very enthusiastic about our current project as well!

## Community Q&A

**Q: The grey barn wood looks real nice.** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: thanks! it was fun to put together!

**Q: Where are the tables from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where are the tables from?

A: I am the interior designer - these were privately sourced.  I can get more for you if you'd like.  They are metal, very heavy, and shown here in a bronze finish.
