She is always the consummate professional—punctual, appreciative, and a great collaborator. Shelly has a keen eye for detail, and often comes up with that one “tweak” that pulls everything together. I would recommend her in a heartbeat! **Comment from Shell Decor:** > Thank you for the glowing review. It is always a pleasure to work with you as well!! **★★★★★ — ckarp185, Aug. 2015** > Working with Shell Decor was a pleasure. My husband and I began with a small job in the living room many years ago and were so pleased with our results that we ended up having Shelly renovate three bathrooms and two bedrooms. Shelly was always knowledgeable, responsive, timely, courteous, and easy to work with. I would give her the highest recommendation as a designer. Our most recent project, designing a master bedroom this spring, was our latest collaboration in an ongoing, successful and rewarding relationship. **★★★★★ — bmlspeech, Feb. 2015** > You can't go wrong with Shell Decor. Any project small or large is never an issue. Shelly Linder knows how to make a living room look new just by adding one new piece of furniture and rearranging the furniture. She is helpful with outside landscape design and pool accessories. I loved the way she even helped me decorate my home on the holidays. My bathrooms are just divine and wouldn't trade my master bedroom for the world. Its a pleasure to work with her kind personality and professionalism. You could not ask for more. She goes above and beyond waiting for home deliveries to make sure every detail is thoroughly inspected and placed appropriately in the designated room. Shelly Linder's expertise is one I would trust for any kind of renovation whether it be for a home or a professional office or work space. **★★★★★ — msadlowsky, June 2014** > My experiences with Shell Decor have been consistently outstanding. The principal, Shelly Linder, has guided me through both small and large projects -- major office and public space design projects as well as smaller, more intimate personal spaces. She has impeccable taste and listens very carefully to her clients, anticipating needs and pointing out issues that I may have never thought of! In short, the ideal design professional. I recommend her with NO hesitation for a wide range of projects. **★★★★★ — juliefreundroth, June 2014** > I hired Shelly Linder of Shell Decor to revitalize our family room, a place where all of us, including our 3 labrador retrievers spend most of our time. She met the challenge of making the room comfortable, sophisticated and durable. We love the feel of the room and look forward to using her on additional projects in the not too distant future. ## Selected projects - [Greenwich, CT](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/greenwich-ct-pj-vj~691281) - Location: Greenwich, CT - Photos: 8 - [Norwalk Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/norwalk-farmhouse-pj-vj~1270723) - Location: Norwalk, CT - Photos: 2 - [Georgetowne](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/georgetowne-pj-vj~1069193) - Location: Greenwich, CT - Photos: 4 - Description: Charming hidden away spacious condo built in the late 70's which we totally renovated to bring into the transitional 2015 era.

A: The bench and back cushions were custom made for my client. The fabric is from Cowtan and Tout. **Q: Who is the manufacturer of the sink?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Kohler is the manufacturer of the pedestal sink **Q: Love the chandelier. Who makes it?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thanks for the question. This chandelier belonged to the client who had purchased it years ago in London. I refinished it to match a chandelier purchased from MClain Wiesand. This fixture can be seen in the entry room photo in the Greenwich townhouse collection of pictures.(see below) **Q: New kitchen work in progress** *(in Design Dilemma)* We love the granite and we love the back splash but not together. Unfortunately this is an expensive dilemma. One solution is to keep back splash and go with Carrera marble counter top. If we stay with the granite any thoughts on backsplash. Right now the backsplash and countertops are competing. Part of the problem is the back splash is very cool and the granite has a warm cast even though it has white and greys in it. Thanks A: Think about which one you really don't like more...the backsplash is probably an easier and less costlier fix than the counter tops. You could easily pick out a wonderful glazed tile (light gray or white) and do a subway pattern using 6 x 12 or 2 x 12 or even 6" rectangles and the look would be classic for ages. With that said I love carrera marble which is used in many professional kitchens and I use in most of the work I do but even with sealing it can leave marks but that is somewhat the beauty of it. I was once told that if you spill red wine or vinegar use a little Soft Scrub with bleach and it comes right out. I use it all the time. **Q: Love this paint color! Would you mind telling me what it is?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Benjamin Moore - classic gray OC-23 **Q: where is the coffee table from?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The coffee table is from the homeowner's collection. He originally purchased in London. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-26.*
