She helped us take our 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath from a 90s lake house to a beautiful rustic modern with 5 bedrooms and 4 baths. From room layouts, to paint colors, to appliance and furniture choices, she was invaluable in helping us pull everything together. She was extremely professional, and knowledgeable, and gave us great direction while accommodating our tastes. I can’t recommend her highly enough. We are just thrilled with our new home and could not have done it without her! **Comment from R.A. Stone \| Interior Designs:** > Thank you Christine - It was a joy to work with you to transform this lovely house. ### All 26 reviews **★★★★★ — Tammy Norton, May 2026** > Roberta did a wonderful job suggesting the perfect Graber blinds for our home!! There were some issues with the blinds, but she went over and beyond to make sure everything was resolved. Roberta is excellent to work with and I would highly recommend her for your interior home decorating needs!! Her communication is stellar to keep you updated on your project! **★★★★★ — Tom Markle, May 2026** > Excellent advice and very reasonably priced. Excellent turnaround. I would strongly recommend RA Stone to anyone. Roberta has the unique ability to advise on all price ranges of homes. **★★★★★ — HU-613760834, Jan. 2024** > Roberta is a top notch Interior Designor. Very personalable, reliable and has exquisite taste. We started out with a bathroom renovation and are now in the process of remodeling the entire house inside/out. Pictures to come at a later date. Check her out you won’t be disappointed!! **★★★★★ — Paula Erny, Feb. 2023** > Roberta did a great job for us. I would not hesitate to call her in the future for another project. She was very helpful, understanding and very efficient at what she does. Roberta drew up plans for a total remodel our of lake home and helped us through the complete process. **★★★★★ — Cindy Schlaifer, Dec. 2022** > Roberta is friendly and very professional. She set up all appointments, and let us know, and went with us on all of them! She let us make decisions, but was right there with us offering ideas! Still have the backsplash to finish, which husband Stuart will do! **★★★★★ — Ron Bratton, June 2022** > On remodel projects, big or small, things rarely go perfect. When those unexpected things do arise and how they are handled is when I tend to judge the quality of my experience. There were several small issues during the project that occured beyond her control. She handled each of them promptly and professionally until they were resolved. I would highly recommend R. A Stone and use her services again without hesitation. **Comment from R.A. Stone \| Interior Designs:** > Thank you Ron Bratton. I appreciated your patience as we worked to resolve those issues. **★★★★★ — Barbara Wolf, Sept. 2021** > Our house badly needed updating because it hadn't been redecorated in many years. We asked Roberta to help us due to her sense of design and knowledge of the marketplace. We started with the floors. Roberta found some hardwood laminate flooring that we liked. Then she recommended installers that were both easy to work with and did absolutely flawless work. She helped us pick out new window treatments throughout the house replacing heavy conventional curtains. She suggested new lights for the bedroom, kitchen and bath, a new chandelier in the dining room and new paint colors in the bedrooms. The result is a lighter, less formal, contemporary look that we are very happy with. We are pleased with her work and would recommend her to anyone. **★★★★★ — Kendall & David Billows, Sept. 2021** > Roberta really listened and brought many great ideas to our kitchen remodel. She was resourceful, flexible and appropriately able to nudge us into making selections which we are very pleased with. Roberta’s patience and attention to detail really made it an enjoyable experience working with her. **★★★★★ — Deb Baumgartner, Sept. 2020** > Roberta did such a wonderful job completely remodeling our kitchen and updating our dining room and living room. The kitchen is beyond what we had imaged. Beautiful and so functional too. Our cabinets are gorgeous. Roberta really listens to what your likes and dislikes are. All the contractors she used were very nice to work with and did excellent work as well. We would hire her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend her. **Comment from R.A. Stone \| Interior Designs:** > Thank you Deb, it was a pleasure to work with you. **★★★★★ — kathyg1965, April 2019** > Roberta designed a remodel of our kitchen, two bathrooms and our dining room. She supervised the project while we were gone for four months. She helped me pick out appliances, brought samples to help me decide colors and finishes. She helped keep to our budget. She listened to what we wanted and kept to the Arts and Crafts style of our house. While we were away for the winter she sent pictures and kept us up to date on the project. We are so happy with her work and will certainly call her again. **★★★★★ — Diann Hines, Jan. 2019** > Roberta was very helpful in the remodeling of my bathroom. She gave me ideas and choices that I would have not come up with on my own. She saved me time and money. She helped me to come up with a design that went with a vanity I wanted to keep in the space. She found the right bathtub, toilet, fan, fixtures, tile, flooring, and color. She also worked well with my contractor. I really love the way it turned out. **★★★★★ — Mary Janae Smith, April 2018** > Roberta installed blinds at the windows in my master bedroom. She also installed two valences and a set of draperies at those windows. In my guest bedroom, she found new tiebacks for the curtains at the window and changed the bottom of the blind. She took the time to make sure everything was just right. Great! **★★★★★ — Deedra Schoudel, March 2018** > I wanted a blind that would allow light to come in but people not to be able to see through it. It was a large window. Roberta came over took measurements and listened to my wants and needs. Once the blind arrived she installed it and showed me how to work and detach it if there were ever a need to do so. It is perfect!! **★★★★★ — Wes Maier, Nov. 2017** > Roberta is excellent at finding a color, helping determine which counter top fits the need, which blind is best for the space and especially a joy to be around. > She is a great resource for Cambria Quartz. Very price competitive and knowledgeable. > Her knowledge on remodel and design is hard to find without paying high prices. **★★★★★ — Suzanne Lee, Oct. 2017** > Roberta Stone did an outstanding job on my recent kitchen and floor remodeling project! She was so easy to work with and chose wonderful professionals to complete the work. I wouldn't choose anyone else to help me with any future home projects. **Comment from R.A. Stone \| Interior Designs:** > Thank you Suzanne, it is a joy working with you. **★★★★★ — Jean Ness, July 2017** > Roberta helped create an updated, open kitchen with which I am thrilled. She helped incorporate some older elements in the design that coordinated with the new. She also diligently worked with contractors to meet my deadline. **★★★★★ — Allyn Luce, Jan. 2017** > When we really had no idea for what we wanted to do with the interior of our home Roberta was able to take a few comments and put together a design plan for us. She was very quick to provide samples and meet at our home, which made the selection process easier even when we would change our minds often. The contactor we personally selected is not finished with the project yet, but we look forward to it being completed. **★★★★★ — Pam Baker, Jan. 2017** > I have know Roberta for several years. She is a very dedicated professional! > She listens to her clients needs, provides excellent advise, researches intently, provides positive feedback, keeps in constant contact with customers, is courteous, and especially fun to work with. > Please consider hiring Roberta for all your design needs, whether big or small she will be there for you! **★★★★★ — Ann Gabet, Dec. 2016** > Our project was recycling our old kitchen to a summer kitchen and rec room in the garage and putting in a new kitchen inside with a cottage French feel to go with our 1880 home Archetect. > Roberta is very professional and creative. She has a keen eye for color and space arrangement. > She brought many resources to our project. Her cupboard and drapery picks are beautiful! We are moving forward with recovering our dinning room chairs and family room couches. I really enjoy working with Roberta making our dreams come to life! **★★★★★ — jkgreenoak, Sept. 2016** > Over the past two years, Roberta Stone played a crucial role in helping us to design the look and function of our new custom home. Though we had never worked with an interior designer before, we chose to work with Roberta because she had the experience, creativity and dedication to help us create a gorgeous home that could achieve LEED Certification for environmental design, while also enabling us to age in place. > > Roberta helped us select the materials and colors for both the interior and exterior of our home. Though each room has it’s own character, her overall design creates a beautiful, cohesive feel for the entire home. From lighting plans to custom tile patterns to finding just the right fabrics for our furniture, Roberta’s wonderful eye for color and detail is evident in every room. Roberta’s work was especially valuable in helping us to select cabinetry, countertops and flooring materials for the entire home. Her research and vision enabled us to make selections that are sustainably sourced, designed to last, within our budget and simply stunning. > > Roberta is a true professional who really listened to our ideas, as well as brought fresh concepts for us to consider. She eagerly researched products and services for us to use, and drew upon her wealth of resources to help our vision become a reality. We look forward to working with her again as we add all the finishing touches to our new home. **★★★★★ — dsdebusk1417, Nov. 2015** > Roberta Stone's design service was excellent. She helped us to design our dream kitchen and master bathroom with regular meetings to select materials, making us aware of materials to make our projects unique, and following through to complete the finishing details. She communicates well and understands your urgencies to stay on time. I would recommend Roberta to anyone who wants more than a Contractor Grade home. We currently have a new Great Room Project and we selected Roberta to do the project. **★★★★★ — annamcgee, Nov. 2015** > ROBERTA PROVIDED ME WITH GUIDANCE AND IDEAS TO COMPLETE OUR HOME REMODELING PROJECT. SHE AND I WORKED WELL TOGETHER FINDING THE PERFECT FURNITURE AND WINDOW TREATMENTS AND FLOORING. IT WAS A SMALL HOME PROJECT BUT IT TURNED OUT PERFECT! **★★★★★ — sfranks46, Jan. 2015** > For me, there is a three-fold reason to seek out the services of a professional decorator: (1) to zero in on your decorating style, (2) to help you stay within your budget, and (3) to work with the pieces you already own. Roberta helped me do that. We worked together on the interior of my home by choosing a paint color that would work throughout, showcasing my family's artwork for the walls, having my furniture recovered, selecting carpeting and extra living room pieces. She also helped me select new dining room furniture, bedroom furniture, blinds and accessories. She even designed a cabinet and counter top layout to turn an extra bedroom into a combination office, craft and exercise room. Roberta is a good communicator and is very hands-on with her projects. I have had a lot of compliments on how my house looks and feels. I would highly recommend Roberta Stone to anyone needing a helping hand in the decorating of their home or office. Sharon Franks. **★★★★★ — yerick, Jan. 2015** > I contacted R.A. Designs for a complete re-do of my kitchen, dining room, and living room, including all new floors, cabinets, and furnishings. Our designer, Roberta completed drawings, estimates, and then would bring samples to our home when we were available for our final choices or picks. She organized the ordering and all the work to be completed. What we found to be amazing, she listened to what our expectations were and understood what we wanted for the final outcome. **★★★★★ — joyceaegis, Jan. 2015** > We have used Roberta for over ten years. She designed office layouts and found appropriate furniture for my business office. > She has done many things in my home. We usually have a project every year. We are always happy with her work. She has great expertise in everything from colors fabrics, hard surfaces, window treatments, furniture and placement. > Roberta is respectful of your wants and taste. She never pushes things on you. > She has a gift for listening to what you are looking for and making it happen. > I would highly recommend her. ## Selected projects - [Green Oak Farm](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/green-oak-farm-pj-vj~2102476) - Location: Fort Wayne, IN - Photos: 12 - Description: New Construction - LEED Project to resemble a home that has evolved over time.

The wall lamps are a nice touch too A: yes we can do a painted fo ish pn the new cabinets. **Q: I like this idea...but do the basket hold up when filled with laundry?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: They would need to be heavy duty ones. I will keep looking maybe I can find one with a wire basket. That should last. **Q: what is your flooring and what is the name of it?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: It is locally grown - solid Hickory that was finished on the job site. **Q: Need options for shelves in a shower-considering glass shelves** *(in Design Dilemma)* We are remodeling a bathroom and we were planning to install a niche. We took out the tub and added a shower. We were going to put the niche on the wall opposite of the shower head. In tearing out the old shower, we discovered we don't have room for the niche because the wall is not thick enough. So now I'm looking at shelves for the corners. We are doing white subway tile with a Caribbean green glass tile border/inset. I want shelves that blend in with the subway tile. The obvious is to go white and perhaps that is what we will do. I don't want to do the typical marble because I think it will conflict with the other tiles. I am doing this tile in Matt White (not the color shown). This is from DalTile It seems my other two options besides white and marble are baskets and glass. My concern with baskets is the possibility of rust. Has anyone used a glass inset shelf like this? I am considering these: This is a part time place so stuff won't be sitting on them all the time. Any other options? Baskets seem easy to clean compared to glass which will show water spots. But once they rust, then seems like you are stuck with them because removing/reinserting means destroying some tile. And my husband is not fond of the basket look. Thanks A: You might consider Stainless Steel or Teak shelves. **Q: What to pair with chaise?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I have a medium sized library/den and would love to use my Bernhardt Farleigh chaise. That's the only thing in the room right now except for the bookcases and fireplace. A full sofa seems like overkill. Any ideas for what to pair with the chaise for extra seating? A: I would suggest a pair of chairs with a lovely table between to create a cozy space. **Q: Bath faucet question** *(in Design Dilemma)* I am installing a 36" wide drop in tub with a 6" surround. The most logical installation for the faucet - design wise - is on the opposite side center an the tub has a place for it. But that will be an approx. 40" reach to turn on and off. I see it in Houzz and magazines. Am I crazy to do this?? A: I would definitely advise a deck mount installation. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-11.*
