### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Michael Cobb, April 2020**

> I have worked with Tres McKinney on a number of projects. I found her ability to realize attractive and thoughtful solutions a consistent reality.  I would recommend her highly and look forward to our next project together.

**★★★★★ — Gina Marie Lindsey, Dec. 2016**

> Tres is a treasure.  She's a true professional who listens carefully and translates client desires into high quality product.  She's respectful of budget, produces according to agreed timelines, follows up with delivery to ensure precise installation.  Tres is brimming with ideas and has broad reach into suppliers and fabricators.  She was our "go to" person as we built our house and continues to be my first phone call as we settle in and evolve.

**★★★★★ — Jeff Cheney, Dec. 2016**

> Tres is a masterful, calm, highly organized, mature design professional. Tres was invaluable in all aspects of the complete renovation of my home on Russian Hill. She tuned into my taste and my needs immediately and presented an abundance of relevant and inspired options.  The results are excellent and I am extremely grateful for her assistance.

**★★★★★ — mcm98119, Aug. 2016**

> I could never have imagined I would be able to work with an amazing designer like Tres on my limited budget but I reached out via email to see if she would be willing to consult me on a kitchen and living room remodel for my home In Seattle and that was the beginning of a wonderful experience!  We worked via phone and email and Tres responded carefully and thoughtfully to my questions and design dilemmas. She has such a breadth of knowledge and really helped me organize the jumble of ideas in my head and problem solve and fill in the missing pieces.  I was also grateful to be able to bounce ideas off her and to benefit from her wisdom.  I highly recommend Tres--you don't have to be in San Francisco to benefit from her great talent!

**★★★★★ — jwade101, May 2016**

> We were very fortunate to find Tres McKinney to help us with the remodeling and design project of our Master Bathroom.  Tres is very personable, charming, and always made herself available to answer questions. At our first meeting she quickly learned about our style and she incorporated it into the project. Tres has a wonderful eye for design and colors; in her design, she used the picture rail to define the Gable Roof line, wallpaper and tile molding to wrap around the wall. We could not have been more pleased with her tasteful and beautiful work. She is a talented designer. Her work is exquisite. She has made our vision come true.
> We will continue to work with Tres on our next project which is the Kitchen

**★★★★★ — jenwanner, May 2016**

> I have received interior design services from Tres Mckinney for years now.  She is warm,  knowlegable, thoughtful, talented and a joy to work with!  She has helped me with furniture ,  rugs,  shades, bathroom remodel ideas and more.  Tres is especially good with colors and fabrics and can help with any interior project you have.  I would recommend her without reservation.

**★★★★★ — dwaters19, Dec. 2014**

> Tres completely redecorated our 3-bedroom house. It took 5 months and cost $$$$$ but it was worth it. Tres listens. She has great taste and judgment. She is adaptable and unflappable. She knows the best suppliers and contractors. She is a pleasure to work with. I have dealt with perhaps a dozen other decorators in the past, and rate her as \#1.

**★★★★★ — Domicile San Francisco, May 2013**

> I met Tres at a professional conclave of designers and was immediately impressed by her graciousness and charm. One would think this was typical of a service professional but it unfortunately happens to be the exception. When I inquired further I saw what comfortable, elegant and inviting spaces she created and knew that I wanted to collaborate with her on future projects. We're in the middle of a complicated project for a client right now and I'm learning to emulate her patience in overcoming all sorts of obstacles from the site, the city and a cautious client. She's leading it all like a maestro in front of an orchestra - perfectly harmonious. This is great fun. I look forward to working with her on many more projects to come and would recommend her to clients in a second.

**★★★★★ — dthornhill, Dec. 2012**

> Tres McKinney worked wonders for my 1460 square foot  (2 bedroom / 1 bath / dining room / living room) Marina condo. She took the time to learn about my style and persona and presented me with multiple options that were spot on with what I was looking for. I couldn't be happier with the end result. I have new living room furniture, light fixtures, plants, fireplace screen/tools, full guest bedroom redesign and a significant upgrade to my master bedroom. I will continue to work with Tres in the future. Next project will be a complete bathroom remodel. Tres is the best!

**★★★★★ — lkcaj, Dec. 2012**

> My company worked with Tres on a high-end remodel.   it was on the Silverado golf course. The project came out very tastefully.  She was very organized and made our job much easier.  She is very much a problem solver and we continue to work the Tres on a future project.

**★★★★★ — donnashouse01, Dec. 2012**

> Tres transformed my house into a beautiful home that I enjoy everyday.   I often entertain, and all of my guests kindly share their excitement about the warmth and beauty of my home.
>
> Tres outlined a complete design, including paint colors, architectural details, furniture, draperies, new kitchen and cabinetry, that was executed to perfection.  She took great care to ensure my satisfaction through every stage.  Every element of the project exceeded my expectations.

**★★★★★ — brady30, Dec. 2012**

> I have known Tres McKinney for almost 20 years. She has helped me decorate three homes and two condominiums. I could not have been more pleased with her tasteful, creative and beautiful work. She is such a pleasure to work with and makes herself 100% available to you when she is working on your project. From the first meeting to the final installation, she and her staff are committed to your schedule and overall wishes.
> I could not hope for any other designer. I look forward to working with Tres on future projects.
