**★★★★★ — Susan Cartland, Jan. 2021**

> Guinevere was a true creative partner in our kitchen and bath rehab in 2020. She is certainly talented, drawing inspiration from historical homes, teaching in Mexico, her M.S. from Pratt, and she has plenty of practical experience.  Beyond her impressive portfolio, she is one of the most engaging, thoughtful and interpersonally generous people I have ever known.  In the midst of a pandemic, she maintained professionalism and composure, and provided steady guidance while we pushed to complete our project.  Our kitchen and bath are now beautifully modernized, but integrate seamlessly with our 1913 home.  Her recommendations were tasteful and understated, with a modern edge.  This was undoubtedly a journey, but we are grateful to have had Guinevere and her team's invaluable support on the ride. Thank you, TCI!

**★★★★★ — Brittany Graunke, Nov. 2019**

> I've worked with Guinevere twice now - 4 years ago on a smaller family room redesign and this fall on a living room, dining room complete furniture redesign and family room final touches. I absolutely adore working with her and plan on continue working with her as we need design support / design work! She's professional yet friendly. Her taste has the perfect balance of honoring exactly what I'm looking for while also pushing me for the design touches that I desperately want but can't think of or describe.
>
> I also tend to be fairly opinionated on what I like and what I don't - somehow (far more than other designers I've worked with), Guinevere and her team has the ability of hitting what I want/am looking for on the nose. She also has worked with me in a few capacities - 1) her taking the reins and pulling together the full look and design and 2) me taking the lead with her providing feedback, edits and enhancements.
>
> Again, she's the best - I'm so glad I get to work with her and my home is so much more of a joy to me, my husband, our kids and our dog because of her design work to it! We love love it!

**★★★★★ — Laura Sadler, April 2018**

> We really enjoyed working with Guinevere on our loft renovation. We completely gutted our two bathrooms and upgraded the rest of our loft, including the master bedroom. Guinevere was always professional and worked within our budget throughout the project. We had so much fun selecting materials and fixtures. I miss working with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for an interior designer.

**★★★★★ — Katharine Hebenstreit, April 2018**

> Guinevere is fantastic! She helped us with remodeling / designing most of a home we had purchased that needed a lot of updating. We are beyond pleased with the final outcome. Guinevere honored our preferences / tastes, but made suggestions that we would have never come up with on our own.

**★★★★★ — Ashley Kalus, April 2018**

> Third Coast Interiors and specifically Guin are the most talented designer teams I've ever worked with on a commercial space. In fact, her work with our commercial space was so great that I'm having her completely redo our residential beach house and we are so excited to be able to work with her again. Her style is great, ideas are so creative, and she is professional and easy to work with. We'll post photos on this review once we have the photographer in the commercial space! We are so excited about our commercial space results!
