I can't wait to see more pictures of your home! **★★★★★ — Larry Troesh, Aug. 2018** > The company was very helpful in resolving an issue with UPS. The plans were very detailed and well worth the money. They will save me countless hours in building the house. **Comment from DesignHouse Inc - House Plans:** > Thank you Larry! I can't wait to see pictures of your new home! > Debra **★★★★★ — Michael Lee, Jan. 2017** > Professional, prompt, accurate, easy to work with and responsive. Will definitely will hire her again with next projects. Cost was very affordable. **Comment from DesignHouse Inc - House Plans:** > Thank you, Michael! > It was a pleasure working with you on your home plans. Please send us pictures when you finish! :-) **★★★★★ — jrobbins518, Jan. 2017** > After spending months trying to customize the perfect house plan I took all my ideas to design house. The weight it took off my shoulders was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and helped Tweak my ideas into a perfect dream home. I highly recommend Debra at design house for any project large or small! **Comment from DesignHouse Inc - House Plans:** > Thank you, Jennifer... you were a pleasure to work with. I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to see your new home built. **★★★★★ — Haley Fennell, June 2016** > Debra was beyond professional and very helpful. She started on our plans in a few days and finished as quickly as we gave her feedback. The best part about working with her was her professional suggestions and feedback. We found two house plans that we loved parts of, and she combined them to form our dream home. She gave us ideas to remedy problems, add more light, improve flow, and reflect our personal style. She provided 3D images that allowed us to visualize our home before the plan was finished. THE 3D IMAGES WERE CRUCIAL TO OUR FINAL PRODUCT! After viewing her 3D images we quickly realized that some of our initial ideas on flat images would not appeal to us in reality. Our family HIGHLY recommends Debra for your home planning and design. **Comment from DesignHouse Inc - House Plans:** > I am thrilled that you are happy Haley. I am very glad we were able to turn my two plans into your dream home plan! I am excited for you, and I cannot wait to see pictures as you progress. :-) > This kitchen/dining area will be fantastic! Thank you for the review and the opportunity to help you design your future home. **★★★★★ — meishoshorrosh, May 2016** > Mrs. Debra was really great! She was very personable which made it easy to discuss the various aspects of our home design. She was quick to understand our concept and to transform our thoughts onto paper. The first consultation went very well and we maintained a great dialogue via email and phone calls throughout the project. Our house plans came out perfect; more so than we even had envisioned! My wife and I would definitely use her again for all future builds. **★★★★★ — Renate Hood, Sept. 2013** > Wonderful services! Professional, flexible, respectful of our wishes. We had to make several adjustments but that was no trouble. Excellent. **★★★★★ — jpetrella, Sept. 2013** > We contracted Debra at Design House to work with us on designing an addition to an existing 900 (30 X 30') square foot block structure. Debra and Design House did a superb job of melding the old structure into the most attractive and functional lodge type home complete with large windows and an extremely beautiful loft overlooking the living area. The completed project is approximately 3500 square feet. We are extremely pleased with Debra's work. Debra was unbelievably easy to work with, listening to our ideas and then guiding us to what we consider a wonderful place to spend our leisure time. > > I would use Design House again and I can't say enough about how pleased we are that we found Design House and how pleased we are with the house. **★★★★★ — Len Arrigo, Sept. 2013** > My wife and I are EXTREMELY pleased with the design services that Debra Purvis provide for our retirement home. We started by having Debra design our "Dream Home." Once completed and after several months of working with a number of contractors, it became obvious that we could not afford our initial design. With that said, we did obtain square footage limitations that would fit our budget. At that point, we gave Debra a bullet list of all the features we wanted in our future home, to include the square footage limitation. We knew that our desire for this home were audacious. Debra came back almost immediately with a custom designed plan that met our desires. Quite frankly, my wife and I were amazed at the design presented. We are more than happy with the services provided by Debra. I would not hesitate to use her services again and again. Moreover, I WILL recommend Debra (DesignHouse Inc) to friends, family and acquaintances whenever the need arises. **Comment from DesignHouse Inc - House Plans:** > I love your home Len... I can't wait for you to get started so I can see it! I know you feel the same way. > > Debra **★★★★ — Design Plus Inc, Jan. 2013** > I have been associated with DesignHouse for 15 plus years and have been impressed with the design of the stock house plans produced by this company. Some of the house plan designs have even gained national recognition. ## Selected projects - [DP-1292](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dp-1292-pj-vj~6318110) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [DP-1908](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dp-1908-pj-vj~5512415) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [DP-2203](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dp-2203-pj-vj~40386) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 48 - Description: 2291 Heated SQ.

The room is small & has 3 small corner windows. I am looking for a paint color to complement the floor & furniture. Maybe something light to not make the room look too small. I need help please. any suggestions? I am looking for a gray color. A: Sherwin Windows has an online paint program. You can upload your room photo and play with color on their site. Monitor colors might be off some but it should really give you a better idea. https://www.sherwin-williams.com/visualizer\#/active/default **Q: Help with front door windows** *(in Design Dilemma)* See these blinds? I have these side windows on each side of the front door. The blinds on this window are in tact but the other side is jacked up because our Rottie keeps sticking her big head in them to see outside and ruining them. I need a new way to decorate these. Any suggestions??? A: Kym I would try the film, If you hate it you can peel it off. Blinds, curtains or shutters will be no match for your big baby! :-) **Q: Kitchen cabinet** *(in Polls)* What will be better.Cream glazed or solid cream cabinets? A: Personally, I like the top one but some clients might want a less antiqued look. The bottom is very traditional as well but it could go with several house styles. **Q: floor** *(in Photo Questions)* This is a horrible job on the cement stain....sheez A: I think they must have came back and sealed it after the storage was installed... sorry to say I didn't have any input on that part. **Q: How tall are the columns on the porch and the diameter** *(in Photo Questions)* How tall are the columns on the porch and the diameter A: Columns are approx. 8 feet tall and 10" dia. at the base. **Q: Brick color and mfg?** *(in Photo Questions)* I've done this backwards and picked my trim (an almond) to match my windows and I really love the light grey that goes with the trim wonderfull. What's the name and mfg info for these bricks? And would it look good to run it along the front sides of the porch and along the gables, doghouses, leaving the siding under porches and on my back end gable A: I wish I could help you but I have no idea what the color (official name) is. The homeowners picked classic colors and the home turned out lovely. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-05.*
