She came to put house and listened really carefully. She really understood our style and was easy to work with! **★★★★★ — Peggy Demmitt, Nov. 2025** > Alisha did a wonderful job helping me design my condo. Her wall color choices were exactly what I was looking for. All the rooms flowed together nicely. Her choices of furniture pieces and decor made the space come together and within my budget. She also gave me a detailed list of things that I could find for myself with measurements, size and color options. It was a pleasure to work with her. Thanks Alisha **★★★★★ — Pj H., Nov. 2025** > We couldn’t have done our renovations without Alisha and Sweethearts Design! Alisha helped us through the entire process, all the way from figuring out what we really wanted through colors and materials choices, installation, and decorating. She’ll do as little or as much as you need her to do. We bought a house with a dark, dated interior, including a dim, inefficient kitchen. With Alisha’s help, we transformed the house into a bright and functional living space. We had firm ideas about certain things, and Alisha helped us realize those goals while guiding us where we were clueless about the possibilities. She is very easy to work with. Our kitchen and mudroom were gutted and completely renovated, the downstairs floors were replaced with hardwood in the living and dining rooms, and with tile in the kitchen, entryway and downstairs hallways. We replaced the carpet in all the bedrooms, and had all the interior walls and doors painted. The transformation is unbelievable! The floor tile we wanted was very expensive and we were agonizing over it, but Alisha saved the day by finding us tile on sale that we liked even better than our original, expensive choice, saving us thousands of dollars to boot! She saved us money in many ways, and ran interference when we had issues with a contractor. As I said at the start, we could not have done this without Alisha. We are so pleased that I am leaving this same review on two or three home sites as well as google. **★★★★★ — Martha Johnson, June 2025** > My experience working with Alisha and Sweethearts Design was invaluable. Her expertise in the design process made the experience easy and productive. Because of her ability to listen, she met my design needs, helped me stay on budget and within my timeline. I can't wait for Alisha to help with my next project! **★★★★★ — Andria, June 2024** > I can't put into words how much we loved working with Alisha!! She listened to our many requests and brought our dream kitchen to reality. She'll walk you through every step - making the process fun and easy. If you're looking for an amazing designer...look no further!! **★★★★★ — Sandi DeLong, May 2023** > Alisha is great to work with. She has great ideas and pays attention to the details. I highly recommend Alisha and SweetHeart Design! **★★★★★ — Lisa Lenhart, May 2023** > We could not be happier with Sweethearts Design. Alisha is wonderful to work with! She came to our home, listened to us, and made excellent suggestions. She was so respectful with our budget, and showed us options that could give a little or a big facelift depending on what we were comfortable with. When we shopped for materials she was able to narrow down selections based on what she knew we wanted overall. She helped with paint colors, lighting, flooring, countertops, back splash, and more. I can not say enough about our experience with Alisha and look forward to working with her again in the future. We recommend her without hesitation. She's excellent!! **★★★★★ — dcs1970, May 2023** > Alisha is absolutely wonderful. She has gone over and beyond helping us design our home. I highly recommend her for any interior design needs. **★★★★★ — ahalya77, March 2023** > I worked with Sweetheart Designs to help layout my daughter's bedroom as we were transitioning her room from a kids room to a teen room! Alisha was great at taking my daughter's room vision and color and style preferences and layout a floor plan with multiple options for beds, dressers, mirrors, wall decors that we could then purchase ourselves and finish her room. It was great to have Alisha's expertise pouring through multiple sites for products that would all blend together while finding items within our budget. Would highly recommend her work! **★★★★★ — Dawn Pesta, Jan. 2023** > We appreciated that Alisha was willing to work with our existing furniture and accessories instead of just replacing everything with new. She was able to sprinkle in some new items where needed but was willing to move and repurpose items to make everything look fresh. She then made suggestions when she thought something was needed. **Comment from Sweethearts Design:** > Thank you so much for the kind review. Your project was so fun! **★★★★★ — HU-738795004, Jan. 2023** > I have used Sweethearts Designs for two projects. Alisha is an amazing designer and so wonderful to work with. She is very creative, listens to what you are looking for and truly understands what her clients want. I will definitely hire her again for future projects! **Comment from Sweethearts Design:** > I sincerely appreciate your five star review. You have been an absolute pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — HU-82433932273, Nov. 2022** > Alisha is very talented and professional! We are so happy with how our home looks! Alisha transformed our new home from a pallet of browns and greens and golds to a beautiful modern design with new paint, fixtures, furniture and art! She was very easy to work with. She listened to all of our preferences, and was super quick to respond if anything needed taken care of. **Comment from Sweethearts Design:** > Thank you so much for the kind words. I loved working with your family to transform your home! ## Selected projects - [The best flex room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-best-flex-room-pj-vj~7807721) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Break room transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/break-room-transformation-pj-vj~7933308) - Location: Cleveland, Ohio - Photos: 21 - Description: This tired break and training room went from a zero to a hero.
