Either they completely misread my tastes and are overbearing or, in one case, offered too little guidance. Teri Waugh at Ethan Allen was a perfect balance. It was truly a pleasurable experience working with Teri. After an in-store consultation and one site visit, she put together an ideal plan for my space. The pieces are comfortable and scaled to fit the areas, and, along with the fabrics she chose, are completely me. I could not be happier with the experience or the outcome. **★★★★★ — Kathy Castle, March 2017** > Teri has been wonderful to work with. She came to the house and made color and pattern suggestions that turned out to be just perfect. She was never pushy but gave practical advice for consideration. She stayed in touch and quickly responded to any questions while we awaited our delivery. I look forward to working with her again. She has been a great fit for us. **★★★★★ — Amy Marks, March 2017** > Teri was very helpful and understood the needs and vision I had for my son's bedroom. I wanted it to ultimately transition into a guest room in a few years, but still look like a "boy's room" while he's in high school. I think that we have succeeded. **★★★★★ — Linda Wenig, March 2017** > I am currently working with Teri to redesign my bedroom, add some color and interest to my living room, and add a sectional to a tight space in my kitchen/family room home addition. I have been pleased with her professionalism and prompt response to my concerns and questions. I also appreciate her attention to detail. When I addressed budget concerns on one portion of the project, she was able to provide less costly options which I greatly appreciated. **★★★★★ — Meg C, Feb. 2017** > We love Ethan Allen and have purchased numerous pieces of furniture through the years. We recently downsized and needed to update our new home. Teri did an outstanding job incorporating our older pieces with some new pieces that transformed our living room and bedroom. Her ideas maximized our limited space and gave us fresh look while allowing us to keep some of our cherished pieces. She listened to our needs and worked with our taste to make our smaller home functional and beautiful. Thanks Teri! **★★★★★ — Margie Strait, Jan. 2017** > I definitely recommend Teri Waugh, decorator at Ethan Allen. She helped me redo my living room and was very nice to work with. She really listened to what I wanted and was never pushy or made me feel rushed. She was happy to come out to the house and did so several times, at the beginning to see the living room, after the furniture was delivered and again at the end when the rug was delivered and the room was complete. When asked, she was happy to give other suggestions even when it didn't involve Ethan Allen. I bought 2 chairs and a rug from Ethan Allen but had my sofa and loveseat recovered by a separate upholsterer, using Ethan Allen fabric which Teri also helped me select. **★★★★★ — C K Evans, Jan. 2017** > Teri has the experience, tact, and flexibility we all wish for in a designer. > She is quick at assessing a situation, and guiding customers to a good outcome. > With a looming deadline, Teri was responsive and helped us speed the project along so that we might take advantage of a valuable discount. > She was quick in sizing up our family room situation, and gave us lots of tips for general and specific improvements. She had wonderful fabric suggestions, and was non judgmental. **★★★★★ — Joyce Huffman, Nov. 2016** > Teri was outstanding! We were considering living room furniture from Ethan Allen and when we arrived on a Thursday with a few things in mind she showed us several pieces and offered to come over that weekend to provide the complimentary design service. She then presented us with several ways to layout the room, paint suggestions and arm chairs that would compliment the room with several fabric swatches. Having her insight on how to set up the furniture was especially invaluable because she provided a design that we never would have thought of and it works perfectly! Attached is a photo of the room without the chairs yet, but wanted to be sure others could see her great work. > > We will absolutely reach out to Teri again for our master bedroom remodel! **★★★★★ — Joan Blumer, Sept. 2016** > We are very pleased with the design and pieces Teri chose for our average family room. She stayed within our budget and made lots of helpful suggestions to us to help stretch our dollars. My favorite things - the two leather ottomans. Cute, square, matching - I never would have thought of them. They double as extra seating when needed. Teri helped us figure out what would be just right for us - and it is! I will go to her an Ethan Allen again for the quality, service, experience, style and patience! Just ordered another end table last week. **★★★★★ — Amanda R, May 2016** > This was our first time to ever work with a designer and Teri was amazing and so professional. She really listened to what we desired for our family friendly living room with three young kids and a dog. She took that info. and offered amazing suggestions and options. We felt she listened to what was essential to our needs but at the same time was able to help direct us to take some risks - two unique rugs that make the room- that ended up being the best parts of the whole room. She had an amazing sense of style and color by giving us time to determine paint colors all the way down to pillow fabrics. She was very professional but also very down to earth and helpful with all of our many questions. She even helped us to mark exactly where to hang our new art work and drapes. She made us feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire process. We really appreciated her helping with determining what kind and size of sofa options and working from there to complete a room we now enjoy greatly thanks to her talents! We will definitely seek to work with her again on future projects as she was patient, available and giving of her time and gifts as a designer. Thank you Teri! **★★★★★ — krysialynne, March 2016** > I have had the pleasure of working with Teri on various projects including the master bedroom, dining room and window treatments throughout my home. She is very creative and and is great with incorporating new with existing pieces in order to stay on budget. Teri's greatest strength is that she is a wonderful listener. She listens to my vision for the space and always takes into account my growing family to create beautiful spaces that will grow with the needs of my family. I have referred her to multiple friends over the years who have loved her work as well. Overall I have been consistently pleased with Teri's work and look forward to working with her again in the future. **★★★★★ — aka115, March 2016** > Teri has been absolutely amazing to work with. I have designed by entire home using Teri's designs. I love it and most people say it looks nicer than a model home. She has learned our likes and dislikes and challenges us to go outside of our comfort level. I will continue to recommend Teri to my friends and family. ## Selected projects - [Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/townhouse-pj-vj~1766751) - Location: Cranberry Township, PA - Photos: 15 - [Updated Living room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/updated-living-room-pj-vj~695287) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: This client was ready for an update from the burgundy walls and furniture that had been there since they moved in. They wanted a place to go and read or just sit and enjoy family. They started with a gray palate and then wanted accents of red. You can see how we incorporated the red accents throughout the room from the art to the window treatments. - [Traditional Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-room-pj-vj~298842) - Location: Gibsonia, PA - Photos: 8 - Description: My clients where overwhelmed with decisions they made on building the house.

Having been a long time Ethan Allen customer she wanted to continue the color pallet that had been started in the kitchen/ eating area. We moved the TV to the other other corner so they could take advantage of the fireplace and the great view. This allowed us to put the sofa on the long wall and the chairs across from the fireplace. We where then able to add a fun accent chair in front of the window that added extra seating… - [Franklin Park](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/franklin-park-pj-vj~1175213) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - Description: This home was a rebuild after a total loss in a fire. After the customer rebuilt and picked the finishes they called me to help with the family room. They wanted comfort, character, contemporary and rustic pieces.

As you can see they aren't afraid of color and they are enjoying there new fun, eclectic home. - [Peacefull Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/peacefull-retreat-pj-vj~1220419) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - Description: This couple had finally found there final house that they wanted to make home and decorate right from the beginning. Enjoying her collections and a farmhouse feel we decorated the whole first floor. In the entry area we accented the rooms with a robins eggs blue then moved into the kitchen and living room area with a yellow accent.

This has become her favorit… - [Cozy Family Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cozy-family-room-pj-vj~571843) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: After working hard their whole lives they wanted to update the family room so that they could sit back and enjoy retirement. She enjoys the earth colors so we went with a green chenille sofa and brought accent color and pattern in the chair and artwork. Since the room was a little smaller we did bunching coffee tables which allowed room for when the grand children come over. - [Family Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-room-pj-vj~324516) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - Description: This client wanted an area where the whole family could congregate. We decided on this sectional with an accent swivel chair and the colorful area rug. - [Cozy Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cozy-home-pj-vj~320404) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [North Park Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/north-park-townhouse-pj-vj~320399) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: After remodeling her kitchen the customer then moved on the adjacent living room. She had always had the sofa on the wall across form the fireplace and large curio cabinets on the other wall. I suggested that we switch the location of the sofa and the rest was history. We placed a storage piece on the wall across form the fireplace for added storage and a recliner next to the fireplace for a great reading area. - [Casual traditional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/casual-traditional-pj-vj~305675) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: My client wanted to update the living room so that it would be a place that her and her husband could go a read the morning paper and start enjoying the living room instead of walking past it. She wanted to incorporate her existing coffee table and end table but lighten up the room since it faced north. We also added curio cabinets to house her collections. - [Traditional Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-bedroom-pj-vj~302861) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Beach Chic Dining](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beach-chic-dining-pj-vj~1018250) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: My client just moved to the area from Texas and never had a formal dining room. As you can see we paid homage to her east coast home town. We mixed the rustic finish of the table with the clean lines of the chairs and added a touch of fun with the patterned host and hostess chairs. - [Bathroom Tile](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-tile-pj-vj~764056) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Colorful Sunroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colorful-sunroom-pj-vj~1245810) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Glam Living Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glam-living-room-pj-vj~2373475) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 [See all 16 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/teri-waugh-pfvwus-pf~126476868) ## Ideabooks - [bath](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/150621218/list/bath) — 18 ideas - [build](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/26712506/list/build) — 163 ideas - [coffe table](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/132457798/list/coffe-table) — 11 ideas - [windows](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/70256304/list/windows) — 5 ideas - [t &w](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/114161981/list/t-w) — 13 ideas - [beach](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/84502886/list/beach) — 3 ideas - [kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/62855801/list/kitchen) — 9 ideas - [rustic contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/20388744/list/rustic-contemporary) — 6 ideas - [Glamour](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/16780203/list/glamour) — 9 ideas - [dine](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33296347/list/dine) — 2 ideas - [draperies](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/31323678/list/draperies) — 1 idea - [entry](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/30254416/list/entry) — 3 ideas - [Ethan Allen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/19551401/list/ethan-allen) — 16 ideas - [artwork](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/28868901/list/artwork) — 2 ideas - [Accent tiles](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/26217325/list/accent-tiles) — 6 ideas - [arts and crafts kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/22140286/list/arts-and-crafts-kitchen) — 6 ideas - [Foyer](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/21546993/list/foyer) — 4 ideas - [transitional](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/18764706/list/transitional) — 3 ideas - [thinking outside the box](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/16785372/list/thinking-outside-the-box) — 3 ideas - [See Below](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/20881596/list/see-below) — 7 ideas [See all 23 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/teriwaugh) ## Community Q&A **Q: Is this a current Ethan Allen fabric?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Barb, Unfortunately it's not on the website. It is in a fabric book and they don't show those fabrics on the site. The book is called Paisley Studio. Thanks **Q: Table?** *(in Photo Questions)* Is this table Ethan Allen? if so, which style? A: That is the Cameron Dining table from Ethan Allen **Q: Moroccan shag** *(in Design Dilemma)* I am looking for a ivory shag with a light blue/sky blue trellis. This pic shows what i want and i've seen it with blue before but am unable to find it now. Any suggestions? A: We have this style at Ethan Allen. **Q: Gap in long wall** *(in Design Dilemma)* Need advice on what to put on this wall. It's a long room divided into living room and dining room. Big gap along wall at the division bothers me. It's between the couch area (with the large plaques) and the dinning area (with classic prints). Thought about a bookshelf or wall mounted shelves but husband thinks there's too much furniture. Also though about rearranging prints and adding more, etc to include that areas. We have an eclectic style- classic mixed with bohemian. Love reclaimed wood, etc. thoughts?? Help! Thanks!! A: The empty wall helps to visually divide the spaces and it's also good to to have a place for the eye to rest. **Q: Need a Fresh New Look for Living Room** *(in Design Dilemma)* I'm looking for a fresh new look for my living room – bring it more up-to-date. There is a lot of natural light. About the only think I have decided is to repaint the walls to a beige/neutral to match an adjoining sunroom. I like blue and am not afraid of color. Maybe a blue and beige or white theme? But I don’t want to squash any other ideas! I plan to reupholster the couch (or buy a new one) and the 2 club chairs, but am looking for color schemes and ideas that would refresh this room. I can replace the red wing back chair or reupholster it and change out the rug if needed. (The TV was temporarily in the room but has been removed.) All suggestions are welcome! Thank you! The current living room: A: Take a look a the HGTV Dream Home as an inspiration. If you take the accents away it's a great neutral pallet for your home. This way you can add color in the pillows and bookcase area. **Q: Help !!! clueless on how to decorate fireplace mantel** *(in Design Dilemma)* The picture tells all. The sofa is light silvery grey. The rug is a distressed finish rug with some bottle green, greenish blue on a grey background. The family room is open to the kitchen with expresso cabinets. I can't seem to get the fireplace mantel right, anything I've tried seems too make it very busy besides the bookshelves. HELP ME OUT HERE....PLEASE ! A: You may want to consider painting the back of the bookcases in a gr color just to get some depth. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-08.*
