**★★★★★ — rofen23, March 2021**

> Shawna was a joy to work with. She is thorough, thoughtful and very talented in her craft. She provided guidance regarding material choices, color schemes, and how to best execute my vision. I am excited to see the finished project taking into account her guidance.

**Comment from Shawna Underwood Interior Design:**

> Thank you so much Rosenny for your thoughtful review!  It was a pleasure working with you!!

**★★★★★ — Jessica Lyne, May 2018**

> I am beyond pleased with Shawna Underwood Interior Design. Shawna is skilled at her craft, she understands space and design and has an amazing work ethic. Shawna provides great customer service, she is patient and attentive, knowinghow to balance her expertise with your personal preferences. Shawna gave me her undivided attention and took on my small project as if it was her only project. She took the time to understand the energy and meaning I wanted each room to present  and was just as invested as if it was her home. I highly recommend Shawna for every interior design need you have.

**★★★★★ — saluqdah, Feb. 2018**

> Shawna is a great interior designer. She helped us remodel our entire first floor. She listened to our design style and added invaluable information regarding what would work with our style of home. She worked closely with the contractor ensuring that they did good work. She was designer and project manager. She was present, available, and thorough!! I’ll hire her for our upstairs!!

**★★★★ — Ashley Darcy Mahoney, Sept. 2017**

> Shawna is a delight to work with.  She is pleasant, responsive, and effective at understanding the style that you seek in your space.  Beyond just understanding, she is good at finding the pieces that achieve the desired style.  We would recommend hiring Shawna for your own project!

**★★★★★ — leanne\_dougherty, Oct. 2016**

> Shawna worked with us during a major home renovation. She helped in the design of our three bathrooms, making recommendations on the tile, vanities, faucets and light fixtures. She also picked the paint and hardwood floor colors, window treatments and furniture floor plans for the house. There were so many decisions during the six month process and Shawna was amazing at gently guiding us through. At times, she would make a selection and I would think that it wouldn't work and then every single time she would kindly share alternative suggestions until we realized the genius in her original choice. She was lovely to work with and I highly recommend her to friends pursuing similar projects.

**★★★★ — catherine\_habanananda, March 2016**

> Shawna Underwood helped me update my eat-in kitchen. She relocated 3 small appliances, improved the circulation in the kitchen and updated the look of the cabinets by calling in Cabinets Refacers who replaced all the fronts, doors and sides of my cabinets, making my kitchen look brandnew. The cost was about a third of what a complete remodeling would have been. My kichen is black and white and beautiful, and it works perfectly.
> Shawna is precise and thorough. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

**★★★★★ — ortegast, March 2016**

> After living in an apartment for three years that never really felt like my home, I was ready to create a space that Would be great for entertaining and that I would love to come home to.  Starting with an almost blank slate, Shawna listened carefully to my life style and my taste.  She helped me find services from reupholstering to furniture repair that were excellent and she found beautiful new pieces, as well.  The hardest part was that she always gave me 3-6 beautiful choices, so making a decision was always difficult (in the very best way). I am thrilled with my home and highly notable recommend Shawna.

**★★★★★ — liloling, Dec. 2015**

> I could not have accomplished my kitchen renovation without Shawna. She is the consummate professional: excellent project management skills, and demands  conforming construction services. I would give her 6 stars if I could.
