Working with Chrissy has been a nightmare as she is very pushy and unprofessional and likes to speak down to her clients when she doesn’t understand their vision or agree to it. As an interior decor specialist, it doesn’t mean as a client our ideas for our own home shouldn’t be acknowledged because to her they are “tasteless”. Her job is to understand what we want and elevate, not tell us we have poor taste. > > Treshold Interiors is a go, but with Liz as your designer! **★★★★★ — Nicole K, Nov. 2017** > Threshold Interiors (Liz Tiesi) is simply amazing both in terms of design and in terms of execution and project management. Liz and her team transformed our new-construction Tribeca condo into a chic and tranquil home for our family. We wanted a design that was modern yet comfortable, and Liz hit it out of the park. Liz was a pleasure to work with, and we have already recommended her to our friends who have had an experience on par with ours. **Comment from threshold interiors:** > Thank so much Nicole! It was great working with you and your family too. We loved working on your project because we were given a lot of creative freedom to transform a modern apartment into a comfortable family home. We had the opportunity to work with the some of the best and most cutting-edge vendors in interior design which has been really exciting for our firm. Creating gorgeous custom built-ins was also an amazing experience and they turned out beautifully and are super-functional. Thanks so much for the opportunity! **★★★★★ — jennifer b, March 2017** > Liz and Chrissy are a great team, incredibly responsive, "got" me quickly, and stayed on top of the project from beginning to end. They were great at sourcing items and giving me just the right amount of choice so I felt good about my decisions but not overwhelmed. Felt like the value for money was just right and, most importantly, I felt like they made very good use of my time. And the results are beautiful! **Comment from threshold interiors:** > Thanks Jennifer for the lovely review! Chrissy and I had a great time working on this project too. I'm so glad that you decided to push the renovation further than what you had originally planned because now the whole apartment has such a wonderful feel and is cohesive which is our goal. Hope you're enjoying cooking and entertaining in your amazing new kitchen! xx **★★★★★ — Allegra, July 2016** > We hired Liz for our beach house renovation after viewing her work and reviews of her work online. It was mentioned that Liz has a keen ability to translate her client's visions into reality. This is so true!! Liz did an amazing job of executing the many ideas that we had for our home. We actually love our home more than all of the photos that initially inspired us! Liz hit the nail on the head- precisely! **Comment from threshold interiors:** > Hi Allegra, Thanks so much for the feedback - this was great such great project. Once we got your vision it was such pleasure to execute. Can't wait to get back in to take photos. Hope you and your family are having a great summer at the beach! **★★★★★ — aboiardi, Feb. 2016** > I hired Threshold Interiors initially for my kitchen renovation and I was so happy with them that my project grew along the way! Liz has amazing taste, great product knowledge, was honest and realistic about timeline, met deadlines, is creative, and is extremely professional and capable. She is highly organized and is amazing at trouble shooting. > I felt that she went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. > Liz and her team listened to our needs and ideas and took it to a place that we could not have imagined on our own. We are thrilled with the the outcome. I look forward to working with Threshold Interiors again! **Comment from threshold interiors:** > This renovation was such a pleasure - it's easy when you have a wonderful client and a great team! The bones of the apartment were amazing - it just needed updating and a cohesive theme throughout which we were able to achieve. I think our biggest success was transforming the internal office into a beautiful architectural gem. Hope you are enjoying your new Kitchen! **★★★★★ — Erica Barratt, July 2015** > I love working with Liz! She is great at staying around my budget and communicating realistic timelines to me. Liz is down to earth and very easy to get along with. She is always available for any questions I have and has helped me cultivate a beautiful home. **Comment from threshold interiors:** > Hi, Thanks so much for the review and I love working with you too - always such a pleasure! **★★★★★ — Elisa Waysenson, Sept. 2014** > I just wanted to take some time to write about Liz. > I have had the pleasure to work with her on numerous projects and I cannot say enough how much joy it has been for me to collaborate with her & her clients. > First of all, Liz is so personable that you cannot "not" like her. > And then when you realize her attention to detail, her creativity, her respect and love for her clients, it is again, a joy to be around her. > What I do is very specific but Liz understands the essence of products, design, and people. > She is incredible with colors and materials. > She listens and gives a voice to her colleagues. > I met one of our common client in MA to give a cooking tutorial on her beautiful stove that Liz, the homeowner, and I designed together, and I was absolutely speechless about the entire project. > Liz's styles adapts to her clients, their environment, and the "feel" they want to create to the smallest details... It is magic. > She never imposes her taste, but guides people through their own vision and makes everything so simple & easy even if it is extremely intricate.. > Also, she is incredibly respectful of her client's lead times and will do anything to get the job done in the time frame she has. > Once again, I always love working with Liz and I think she is not only such a lovely woman, but and incredible talented designer and an overall AMAZING person. > I hope to have many many more projects together. **Comment from threshold interiors:** > Thank you Elisa! It;s been great working with you too and I love your product and my clients love them too. Thanks so much for your amazing customer service and you have made the process of getting a range from France a very organized process. I hope to have the opportunity to cook with you soon and look forward to working together again! **★★★★★ — Sarah Cole, Sept. 2014** > 7/17 > This is my second time using Liz at Threshold Interiors and my first time working with Chrissy. I would highly recommend working with them and would do so again. They are amazing! > > Liz and I work very well together as she is very flexible in terms of working with a variety of styles, materials and color schemes. We have a very good back and forth where we both come up with different ideas - but she is often able to make my ideas work with supporting pieces/furnishings, which I find to be the hardest part. > > This was my first time working with Chrissy and I really liked having her as part of the equation - I think she and Liz make a really good team. > > This project was furnishing my new apartment that was part of a new development in Brooklyn Heights (vs the prior job which was redoing my Spring Lake beach house). Liz and Chrissy did a good job righting many of the "wrongs" done by the developer - in terms of helping create more usable space in the kitchen (spice racks, roll out open drawers for pantry items) and closets, desk areas and banquettes. They were really thoughtful in how they approached issues of lighting and functionality. I also like that they are very willing to use a good mix of high and low (from West Elm to Roche Bobois in our apartment) to create an eclectic and not overly styled look. My apartment does not look "decorated" but it looks finished and I think thats tough to achieve. We had a lot of fun working on this project together! > > > 6/14 Liz Tiesi at Threshold Interiors is amazing! I had some very clear ideas of what I was looking for, but no ability to curate/pull it all together. Liz was able to help me edit so that the look was cohesive across the house and helped me incorporate many of the design elements I had "pinned" without it looking like a mess of different people's styles. On several occasions, she was so strong in her conviction that we order a certain piece of furniture that I went ahead with it and always was pleased with the result - she has a good eye. > > Our project was a cosmetic overhaul of a very dated house. Liz was extremely helpful in sourcing light fixtures, bathroom fixtures and kitchen appliances and making sure everything worked together. For example, we mixed polished nickel and brass together in a way that looked totally natural- not something I would have had the confidence or ability to do on my own. > > Overall, we were very happy to work with Liz - she is great and I would highly recommend her! **Comment from threshold interiors:** > Thanks Sarah! it's been a pleasure working with you and your family and I learned so much throughout the process and love your inate style. It was fun to pull together all of your ideas and put them into a cohesive whole. Even though I "designed" the house, I feel like it really reflects your taste and aesthetic and I believe we achieved what we set out to do! I'm going to miss working with you once we are fully finished with your beach house. Hopefully, I can offer some input on your Brooklyn project! **★★★★★ — Michelle Kennedy, Dec. 2013** > Having worked in collaboration with Liz on several projects, I would highly recommend Liz and her firm threshold interiors! Liz's amazing talent, eye for detail and ability to project manage large scale projects is a unique combination. Liz listens intently to her clients, sources beautiful and unique products and takes creativity to the next level. Her professionalism, client service skills, expertise and collaborative style is second to none. Liz creates an ambiance that leaves you breathless. **Comment from threshold interiors:** > Michelle, thank you for your comments. After collaborating with you on several projects I have to say I love your professionalism and eye for detail. SWC's kitchens are beautiful and the fact that you can produce anything we need, from a vanity made out of reclaimed wood to a shuttered wardrobe is invaluable for my business. Look forward to working with you on many projects in the future! **★★★★★ — White Hart Design, Aug. 2013** > liz is incredibly knowledgeable about big construction projects and is very interested in the finer details of design and hardware and their long term impact. i learned a lot from liz and we had fun diving into the details together. most importantly i felt liz taught me to aim for perfection and settle for nothing less. i have used her in building two houses now and will continue to hire her for future projects. she loves every aspect to designing, building and creating the atmosphere you want. i cant recommend her enough! **Comment from threshold interiors:** > Jill it has been such a great learning experience for both of us! I love that you have pushed me to produce all of your visions and that I have been able to contribute so much to your projects. I'm looking forward to working on the next one and getting our collaborative juices going! See you in Nantucket soon! **★★★★★ — E. Randall Design, June 2013** > We loved working with Threshold! Liz transformed our dated, crowded kitchen and family room into one flowing, open space. Her style is innovative and trend setting. She is very decisive and responsive. Would definitely use Threshold for our next project! **Comment from threshold interiors:** > Thanks so much for your comments! Your kitchen and family-room turned out so well. I'm glad we were able to transform that space for you and make it more functional and improve the aesthetic. I can't wait to see your La Canche in the new house - it's going to be beautiful! ## Selected projects - [Spring Lake Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spring-lake-retreat-pj-vj~5888519) - Location: Spring Lake, NJ - Photos: 37 - Description: This house exudes a tranquil vibe that creates a calm and relaxing retreat for this NYC family. This project was driven by the client’s preferred color palette of whites and grays with touches of blues. This aesthetic informed all of the material and furniture selections throughout the home.

The biggest challenge on this project was designing the kitchen island which was inspired by driftwood and the local seascape. - [Bay House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bay-house-pj-vj~5888486) - Location: Mantoloking, NJ - Photos: 41 - Description: This house sits on the Bay Head Harbor which makes it feel very calming and serene.

Her previous kitchen had been purchased at a Restaurant Supply Store on the Lower East Side and though totally functional it was just not highlighting the natural beauty of the apartment. We were able to use the existing beams and brick walls as an amazing back-drop to the kitchen. We added decorative lighting to the Kitchen and Dining Areas to define th… - [Nantucket Bijoux Part II](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nantucket-bijoux-part-ii-pj-vj~1325835) - Location: Nantucket, MA - Photos: 17 - Description: Location: Nantucket, MA, USA Stage 2 of Nantucket Bijoux - [Nantucket Bijoux Part I](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nantucket-bijoux-part-i-pj-vj~826764) - Location: Nantucket, MA - Photos: 16 - Description: Location: Nantucket, MA, USA This classic Nantucket home had not been renovated in several decades and was in serious need of an update.
