I have known Felicitas for many years and am very impressed by her ability to always stay the course so successfully as the business of interior design continues to reshape itself. > Felicitas' approach is realistic and relatable. **★★★★★ — Jimmy Wu, July 2017** > I have been working with Felicitas for over 10 years and highly recommend her. She has done multiple projects for me (design and remodeling), I have been extremely satisfied with all of them. Felicitas has a great eye for design and is very easy to work with. She is truly one of the most talented designers you can hire. I totally trust her to make design decisions and find her easy to communicate with (text, email, etc.). Whenever someone steps into my home usually one of the first questions is, who is your designer?? That is a good sign! **Comment from fo design:** > Thank you Jimmy. Its always a pleasure to be working with you. From your Manhattan loft to your Houston homes all the project have been fun and I am so glad that you are happy! Thank you for the kinds words. **★★★★★ — Anita Nelsoon, July 2017** > Felicitas was wonderful to work with. She has impeccable taste and paid close attention to detail and follow up. She not only has great design style but is very talented at knowing how to build things as well. She is terrific at staying within budget and knows how to be creative in accomplishing very expensive looks without breaking the bank. **Comment from fo design:** > Thank you so much Anita. It was so much fun to work with you on your beautiful Condo and I am so happy we came back and took the amazing photos. I am so happy that you are so pleased. Thank you for the kind words. It means so much to me that you and Robert are happy! **★★★★★ — Even Dunlop, July 2017** > Stylish, personable, budget conscious and efficient! > > Felicitas is a pleasure to work with on design projects, big or small. We've remodeled a loft in Tribeca, as well as two houses, and Felicitas always delivers fresh ideas to make properties unique and tailored to our evolving sensibilities. > > I would recommend her services without reservation. **Comment from fo design:** > Thanks so much Even, you know you and your family are my favorite clients and its always fun to work with you. **★★★★★ — Designer Custom Source, May 2014** > Felicitas is a multi- talented designer who takes great pride in her ultimate clients needs and specifications. It is our pleasure to become a designated workroom for FO Design. She is an enthusiastic professional and a true artist. It is a joy to see her rooms come to life. we highly recommend this lovely interior design firm. **★★★★★ — socalandny, Jan. 2014** > FO Design is highly recommended!!! I have worked with Felicitas many times from our total renovation, back in 2003, to the changes we have made through the years due to changes in my life- (singleton, marriage, and baby). Felicitas is professional but also very friendly, energetic, and thoughtful to needs. She is also highly resourceful and innovative. **Comment from fo design:** > Thanks so much for the nice review!!!! It was so much fun to work with you guys as well. xoxo > F **★★★★★ — aureartist, Dec. 2013** > FO Design was wonderful in listening to my husband's and my needs and thoughts for what we wanted out of the apt gut renovation and Felicitas came up with the best solutions and provided us with a great home which we love. She oversaw the entire renovation and the contractors and had ideas as the apt was coming to live. She still is wonderful in following up on a consultant basis when we need help in purchasing a new rug or wanting to just redo our bedroom. I would hire FO Design again in a heartbeat! **★★★★★ — ciafardini, Nov. 2013** > I have engaged FO Design on 3 occasions--personal home design and office redecorating. Felicitas and her team are incredibly talented and have very strong relationships with all the vendors. Felicitas is a great listener and respects the budgets as well as respects our own personal taste/style. I have enjoyed working with FO Design and would do so again if the need arises. **Comment from fo design:** > Thanks Maggie, It is always fun to work with you! > F **★★★★★ — ldaddio11, Nov. 2013** > Working with Felicitas is a pleasure. She has a sharp sense of space and style and manages to create something beautiful for both small and large projects. And she gets the job done. I highly recommend Fo Design! **★★★★★ — psmurphy, Nov. 2013** > FO Design is an amazing design firm. They are professional, efficient and super creative and I love working with them. I have worked on a number of projects with FO Design and each have had stunning results. **★★★★★ — willi128, Nov. 2013** > Felicitas and her staff were professional, very friendly and most helpful in designing and furnishing my unit, roof deck garden and common areas. She designed and furnished my place for a perfect look within the budget and timeframe. She always provided updates and asked for my input to be precise as well as being punctual for appointments. The final result was much more than I expected and I was quite happy with the project. I would highly recommend this company.

Sometimes these colors can look different online. SW 6256 from sherwin williams **Q: Beautiful room! What is the wallpaper?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The wallpaper is from ROMO **Q: Where can this chair be purchased?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Floor lamp from arteriors **Q: Floors** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi, can you tell me more about the floors, stain? A: The floors are OAK planks we had them custom stained it took quite a few tries. I'm sorry I can not be more specific but this was a pretty difficult process and is probably something that you have to work on with a flooring specialist **Q: paint color** *(in Photo Questions)* please share the paint color thank you A: Hello and thank you for your interest and question. This color was from SHERWIN WILLIAMS. SW 6512 BALMY is the name. **Q: I love the island coutertop! What is it please?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hello. Thank you for your question. In this kitchen we used real marble. This is a beautiful slab of Calacatta that was sourced from Artistic Tile. If you are worried about stains this is not such a practical choice and a man made material such as DEKTON may be a better option. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
