All have been artists and excellent at their craft. But, I found that Hilary was an amazing designer as well as the director of a tight, efficient business which translates to saved dollars for us. Hilary gave our builder a binder of specs that saved us from unanswered questions and change orders. The builder had never seen a presentation of specifications like this, and it saved him a lot of work.On the design side, Hilary is right on with color-- paint, carpet, wood flooring, cabinetry, window treatments, etc--it all flowed beautifully. Elegant simplicity! Hilary's firm gets it done beautifully!!! **★★★★★ — Tory Appel, Sept. 2016** > We were very fortunate to work with Hilary Young on this project. We were handed specifications well before the project started and her drawings were concise and easy to work with. There wasn't an area that hadn't been thought of. It definitely made for a smooth process. > Thank you Hilary and Team for such a great working experience! **★★★★★ — Chesmore/Buck Architecture, Aug. 2016** > We have collaborated on projects with Hilary that were very challenging remodels and her professionalism and design expertise helped lead us to very successful solutions for the client. We would highly recommend anyone looking for an interior design professional to talk to Hilary. You will not be disappointed! **★★★★★ — Lambright Design Group, Dec. 2015** > I've worked with Hilary on several projects over the years, and it's always been enjoyable. Very creative, listens to clients, and comes up with solutions that are tailored to each particular clients desires. **★★★★★ — Joe Belfiore, May 2015** > Hilary and co. did a terrific job with us -- more than once! As we were building our new house, she was fantastic at helping us find excellent fixtures, wall coverings, trim, window coverings, hardwood floor approach, furnishings and many many many of the details that brought our house to life. This was tricky because my wife and I had slightly different tastes and we were pretty hardcore on our budget. Hilary had no trouble figuring out solutions that worked great for those constraints. > > After we'd been in our house for awhile and were ready to fix things up a bit (we never finished some rooms...) we called Hilary back and she jumped right in and has done a great job making our house more livable and more complete. > > She has my highest recommendation! **★★★★★ — kristina7155, May 2015** > We've worked with Hilary on a couple different occasions and would highly recommend her. She helped us when we built our new house -- provided feedback on room layout and recommended wall colors, bath tiles, bathroom fixtures, furniture, etc. After we lived in our house for a few years, we had Hilary return to provide recommendations on additional furniture, lamps and artwork. She's extremely professional and knowledgeable, a great listener and has great taste! I look forward to working with her again. **★★★★★ — holecekales, April 2015** > We hired Hilary Young Design Associates for a renovation of a few rooms in our old house and loved what she did so much, we hired her again when we bought our new house. This new project was very extensive as it involved a complete remodel inside and out. The redesign involved taking it down to the studs and completely remodeling the kitchen, bathrooms bedrooms, and recreation room. We added a wine room, gym and another bathroom as well. We also added a patio and another garage bay. It went from being a very traditional looking home to a more contemporary style to match our taste and busy lifestyle. Hilary and her team drove the process from start to finish and was always on time, mindful of budget and very professional. There is no way we could have done it without her, she was amazing. She also helped with furnishing and artwork and we love the final product. Hilary is the perfect balance of professional, honest and brilliant at what she does. She was able to work directly with our contractor to make sure our vision was implemented and managed everything beautifully. We highly recommend her and her amazing staff! **★★★★★ — riese, March 2015** > My contractor suggested I interview Hilary Young Design to do design work on our new construction custom home. I liked Hilary immediately, but was truly impressed when at just our second meeting she had completely summed up my design aesthetic. > > Hilary’s design choices are impeccable and I truly appreciate the range of sources from which she makes suggestions – from Overstock.com and Pottery Barn to Baker and top-of-the-line custom options – and that she never solely relies on break-the-budget recommendations. I trusted her and her staff from the get-go and found them always to be reliable and more than helpful. > > During the design process, she and her staff always provided a number of options and, if I was hesitant in my choice, would offer insight into what might work best, which I truly appreciated. Hilary’s talent for interior decor and furniture layout is unmatched, and she even designed (and commissioned) actual pieces that she envisioned would working best for the space. > > Ultimately, she came in on budget while truly making the most of the home and turning it in to a truly beautiful and functional space. Everyone who sees it is so impressed! I can’t imagine working with anyone else. I continue to look to her for design guidance and would use and recommend her for any future projects. Highly recommended! ## Selected projects - [Groat Point Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/groat-point-residence-pj-vj~50739) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Meydenbauer Condo Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/meydenbauer-condo-residence-pj-vj~2670324) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Kirkland Residence \#2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kirkland-residence-2-pj-vj~1993112) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [West of Market Residence \#2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-of-market-residence-2-pj-vj~1582088) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Medina Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/medina-residence-pj-vj~945820) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [West of Market Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-of-market-residence-pj-vj~1228044) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 28 - [Bellevue Penthouse Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bellevue-penthouse-residence-pj-vj~945419) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Meydenbauer Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/meydenbauer-residence-pj-vj~945705) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Friday Harbor Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/friday-harbor-residence-pj-vj~945567) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [Enetai Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/enetai-residence-pj-vj~50673) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Denny-Blaine Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/denny-blaine-residence-pj-vj~1579371) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Issaquah Highlands Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/issaquah-highlands-residence-pj-vj~50746) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Marsh Commons Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marsh-commons-residence-pj-vj~50676) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Kirkland Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kirkland-residence-pj-vj~948360) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Beaver Lake Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beaver-lake-residence-pj-vj~948430) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Grand Ridge Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grand-ridge-residence-pj-vj~50725) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Clyde Hill Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/clyde-hill-residence-pj-vj~50733) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Lake Washington Waterfront House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-washington-waterfront-house-pj-vj~484529) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: This 300 foot waterfront estate is located on Lake Washington, and includes a 7,000 SF two story house with a separate 5,000 SF two story carriage house.
