**★★★★★ — coverlie, Oct. 2014**

> I have worked with Duffy's Designs on multiple projects over 15+ years.  Lynn has always had a great, positive attitude.  Her knowledge of available products is up to date.  She has great ideas for the the whole house. She can design furniture layouts to cabinets.   Lynn can work with whatever budget you have and works diligently to meet deadlines.   I have had her help with recovering a couple of chairs,room layouts and cabinet design to ordering new furniture for multiple rooms.  She is wonderful at window treatments as well.   She has handled paint and wall finishes in multiple homes.  Lynn has worked easily with my architect and builder on several projects.
> Lynn's help has saved me from mistakes with paint colors, her furniture layouts always make the best use of the furniture and space.
> She has evaluated potential houses for us, giving us good advice on style elements.
> I would never consider using any designer other than Lynn on any future project.

**★★★★★ — dsher52, Oct. 2014**

> We have worked with Duffy's Designs for a long time, beginning with assistance during new home construction and more recently with updating. Duffy's Designs is responsive and extremely professional with both interior color, floor coverings, interior & exterior furnishings, as well as attention to budget. They work well with transition and adapting to existing design; they are extremely versatile. They are attuned to working with a variety of styles.
> I highly recommend Duffy's Designs. You will be very pleased.

**★★★★★ — eferandell, Oct. 2014**

> I have known Lynn Harland of Duffy's Design for at least 20 years and her work at my home and friends has been excellent.  She is very professional and has held many positions including President of San Diego's ASID.  She goes over and beyond for her clients.  She's always has very creative, interesting ideas and it's fun to work with her.  She worked on a major remodel at my home including the space design and continues with ongoing projects at my residence since I've lived here for 37 years.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Curtains to match this bed set and questions!** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I'm looking for ideas on a colour curtain to go with this bed set! Would beige be too plain? The headboard is black does this look okay with the bed set I chose? Would you add a decorative pillow of some sort? Thanks!

A: The print is dense so I think a solid would be best.  However, a very tight stripe would be a great accent too for a pillow and draperies.

**Q: Would appreciate input on finishing tile work.** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Have ordered a 3x6&quot; biscuit colored subway tile.  I am torn between using matching grout or using a light brownish gray grout color to compliment granite (Verde Butterfly)?  All appliances will be stainless, corner sink is copper and there will be an osage-orange butcher block on island w/ copper sink there as well.  Mosaic will be for the cooktop backsplash area. Walls are very pale green.  Floor is hickory.  Any thoughts on grout color for subway tile?  Thanks!

A: I'm happy you stayed with the light grout. Good call.
