### Reviews

**★★★★★ — HU-469088167, June 2024**

> Julie was wonderful to work with on our kitchen and wet bar update which consisted of painting our existing cabinets, new hardware, new countertops ,sinks and faucets and a new backsplash as well as increasing the size of our existing island.  She listened to what we wanted, was very responsive and provided project options that fit our vision.  She went the extra mile to help get our project done in a timeframe that fit our crazy schedule.  I highly recommend Julie and wouldn't hesitate to work with her again.

**★★★★★ — Laura Higgins, June 2024**

> Julie was wonderful to work with! She created a digital rendering that allowed us to see our vision for our bathroom. She brought fresh ideas and we loved her creativity! We would definitely work with Julie again for our next project!

**★★★★★ — Jeff Greenfield, May 2024**

> We had used Julie several years ago when we purchased our new house for design and paint recommendations.  We were very happy with her work so a couple years ago after our home had extensive water damage we called Julie needing painting, design and a completely new kitchen.  She walked us through every step of the process starting with cabinet design and colors.  Then measuring and incorporating
> the best cabinet design and function to meet our needs including several roll out cabinet drawers, very functional lower corner cabinets, beautiful upper cabinets with several back lit glass cabinets and under cabinet lighting.  Julie also gave us a giant kitchen island which we use religiously from prepping to entertaining guests. All sinks and faucets were selected by Julie along with her designer discounts which really helped.  Lighting pendants Julie picked were exceptional.as well as backsplash design.       We met Julie at Cambria Quartz
> to select our dream quartz slabs to complete the kitchen design.  She coordinated all aspects of installation from cabinet install to countertop and plumbing install.  We met several times at all the various suppliers and Julie was always a phone call away when we had questions.  Our house is beautiful again thanks to Julie!

**★★★★★ — Chris Demos, Feb. 2024**

> Julie was wonderful every step of the way.  She did drawings for our kitchen remodel.  She made the process easy and worked around our schedule.  After meeting with us, it took no time for her to come up with digital drawings that took what we were looking for and brought them to life.  All the while Julie was easy to reach and helpful with any questions that we had.

**★★★★★ — Lincoln Park Rowhouse, Nov. 2020**

> Julie did an excellent job. She designed a timeless and stunning kitchen. She creatively kept my cabinet costs low and tucked in an amazing banquet which is the highlight.

**★★★★★ — Alyson, Aug. 2020**

> Our experience with Julie was amazing!!! We just bought a house that was built in 1980, and hadn’t been decorated since! We gave her an idea of what style we like. Neither my husband nor I have any decorating sense, so she had her work cut out for her! She picked the perfect colors for us!! We couldn’t be happier! We will be using her expertise for all of our decorating needs from here on out!

**★★★★★ — Paul, Aug. 2020**

> I highly recommend working with 1st Design, Inc. on any home improvement, design/re-design, and general contracting jobs.  Working with Julie exceeded our expectations!  After evaluating and consulting multiple designers for our project, we chose 1st design, Inc.  From our perspective, these are the reasons we had a smooth and rewarding experience:
> •Our needs were listened to
> •We were consulted collaboratively
> •Subject matter expertise was provided
> •There was availability to discuss concerns
> •Scopes of work and expectations were clearly defined
> We loved our experience with 1st design, Inc.  We will continue to partner on projects into the future.

**★★★★ — Raven Carter, March 2020**

> I hired 1st Design to design my kitchen renovation. Julie was professional, creative, and easy to work with. I appreciate how communicative she was about changes that needed to be addressed. I have a beautiful kitchen that meets my needs as a result.

**★★★★★ — HU-566504016, Feb. 2020**

> Julie was so wonderful in our kitchen remodel process.  Our kitchen wasn’t easy - a 1910s house with a radiator in the middle - and she came up with great creative ideas and was so thorough with the deliveries and handling any missing pieces.  Couldn’t have imagined it without her help!

**★★★★★ — CATHY GRISHAM, July 2019**

> Julie Terrell is terrific. Until now, I'd had very little experience with interior designers so I didn't know what to expect, but Julie was prompt to respond to each and every query. She's talented, a good listener and extremely professional. The installation team I hired (another good group) were thrilled when I mentioned I'd used her - she had their full confidence from previous projects. I look forward to recommending her to other people - she's a KEEPER!!

**★★★★★ — Julia Liguzinski, April 2019**

> Julie assisted my husband and I in designing our kitchen cabinet layout using Ikea cabinets. Julie was timely and thorough. She provided detailed work and made us feel comfortable with the entire kitchen design process. We highly recommend Julie for anyone going through this process!

**★★★★★ — HU-882247594, Feb. 2019**

> I've known Julie as my colour consultant since I was referred to her by a residential contractor years ago, when I was enduring a total tear out and transformation of my residence.
> Since then, I've been fortunate to have had her partner with me in my other commercial projects.
>
> Julie listens.
>
> Her colour strategy is only firmed up once she absorbs how I define my needs for each structure. The end result? Always a maximisation of rental value through her transformative values.
>
> Considering every detail of every room, and always current on trends, design theories and colour psychology, she dedicates as much time and energy as needed to create an offering of colour solutions.
>
> A consummate professional, you will find her to be affable, sophisticated, yet strong in approach.
>
> And that is why I continue my relationship in the realm of colour palettes with her!
