**★★★★★ — Angelica Mangindin, April 2018**

> Heather is the consummate professional. She transformed our dated kitchen, living room, and office into functional and beautiful spaces.  Her keen eye for detail and style helped us push our own design boundaries.  When there were hiccups along the process with vendors, she was our strongest advocate and steered everyone along to a swift resolution.  Her artistic flair is evident throughout the spaces and we could not have asked for a better partner.  She was also respectful of our budget and very considerate of our timeline.  More importantly, we appreciated Heather’s grace, humor, vision, and her integrity.  We would use her again in a heartbeat!

**★★★★★ — Maija Nicol, Sept. 2017**

> Heather and her team are amazing!  I had a crazy idea of making a play room under the stairs for my son.  Lots of people told me "no it can't be done".  Heather found an engineer and contractor and helped get it permitted by the city!  She then decorated the room to make it cute and functional.  The finished projects are beyond my wildest imagination.  I love it so much and so does my son.

**★★★★★ — tenizjunki, June 2017**

> After numerous recommendations from friends & neighbors, I hired Heather to fully furnish & design my living room, re-design the study, and update the breakfast nook. Heather & Katelyn were a pleasure to work with, they were very professional and  responsive, and most importantly, extremely creative and detail-oriented. We absolutely love the work they did in our home, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for design help!

**★★★★★ — Marina V, April 2017**

> Del Sur Design services were recommended by our realtors to stage and decorate house for sale.  The house was beautiful, but with old and outdated furniture. We decided not to rent and make the best with what we had.
> I was absolutely amazed by Heather Ault's vision and taste! Per her sketch, we rearranged Master Bedroom and could not believe how appealing it became. I wished it was done long time ago! There were numerous things that I'd learned from Heather in the process: incredible picture collages, the right way to hang a chandelier, the difference a throw and pillows make, beautiful flower arrangements, etc.   On top of having great taste, Heather was extremely organized and attentive.
> I trusted her judgement completely, and it had paid off in the end. The house was sold above asking price.

**★★★★★ — Tiffany Link, July 2016**

> I hired Heather to completely re-design my daughter’s bedroom and bonus room. We wanted to update the room from a little girl’s room to a stylish “tween” room. Heather was a complete professional as she listened to my vision. She immediately knew how to make my vision a reality. It was very important to Heather to include my daughter in the design process. Heather focused on making the room an inviting space for my daughter as well as creating more storage for her large book collection.  From the beginning, I appreciated that she kept our budget in mind as she searched for new furniture and décor for the room.
>
> Heather also provided creative solutions that I never would have thought of when it came to filling large walls, adding custom window treatments, and finding a desk with specific dimensions.  I truly enjoyed working with Heather because she never applied any pressure on me to make a particular decision.  Heather’s number one priority was to create a space that my daughter loved and she 100% succeeded. Thank you Heather!

## Community Q&A

**Q: Love the stools and chairs.  Where is the dishwasher?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Kindly explain, where is the dish washer.  I do love the counter top, is it marble? Do you know of another counter top that looks like this? I really appreciate your comments.  Kindest regards, RoseMarie

A: the dishwasher is on the other side of the island, and the countertops are quartz
