I became obsessed with tile and had a tough time making decisions for floor tiles, wall tiles and shower tiles and we are SO happy with the end result of all our bathrooms and kitchen. She even helped me decide on "fun" wallpaper for a small guest bath. She was always down to earth, professional and an honest, direct communicator. She also was available via text and email and always got back to us quickly. > > Additionally, Ellen helped us brainstorm the best layout for our living space off our kitchen which has slightly unconventional dimensions and was a bit tricky to figure out how to configure. Thank you Ellen, we recommend your services highly! **★★★★★ — appolll, Aug. 2021** > We've recently started our home remodel project and thanks to Ellen's help and design expertise she was able to put our ideas and thoughts on paper! It's been a pleasure to work with her thus far and have signed her up as construction administration. **★★★★★ — Sandy Christean, April 2021** > From the start Ellen was a very reliable communicator and provided the information I asked for as well as more that I did not think of, for both my deck design and landscape design. And by that I mean that she would call or email promptly and would follow through with appointments and deadlines set. I have been dealing with many contractors for several years now as well as another designer with great frustration, as it seems to NOT be the norm in home improvements for these people to do what they promise, as well as do it right. > Ellen's deck design was different than what I had envisioned, and she worked with me to get the final design to my satisfaction. The landscape design needed few changes, and she was able to purchase the plants several days before she said she would, as well as get them placed and oversee the planting. I had complete trust in her vision for a beautiful outcome. > I plan on using Ellen exclusively for the completion on my landscaping and some more home improvements planned in the future. > I highly recommend her! **Comment from Ellen Weiss Design:** > Thank you, Sandy. It was a pleasure working with you and I look forward to working with you in the future! **★★★★★ — redlaurieb64, Feb. 2021** > Ellen Weiss is a talented interior designer who thinks outside the box for creative solutions and provides great attention to detail. She is able to source items for a variety of budgets and works to a tight time schedule taking her client's needs into consideration. She is committed to providing great service which includes regular status updates and stunning results. I highly recommend her for kitchen and bath remodels in particular. **★★★★★ — Fred McConkey, Oct. 2018** > Ellen did an excellent job for two of my commercial properties. She worked with my landscaper to decide which plants to keep and which plants to replace. My landscaping had become very over grown after 30 years. It now looks fresh and new at a minimal cost. She did a great job. **★★★★★ — Grant DeBruin, Aug. 2018** > Ellen did a fantastic job designing a very prominent area on our church property just outside the main sanctuary. Easy to work with, collabrative, and always professional in all facets of the project. A year later, the plants are thriving and ithe area continues to draw praise for its beauty and how it draws people in to sit and relax. Highly recommend. **★★★★★ — Jeannine Liston, July 2018** > We hired Ellen to design a new pergola to replace an aging one as well as a deck extension to our existing backyard patio. She provided us with new ideas and layouts, including surrounding landscaping, that made it possible for us to move forward with our project. Using her plans, we were able to hire a contractor and will be starting our project in August! Photos to come. **★★★★ — Lawrence Culp, March 2017** > Ellen, Was elegant in her planning for our landscape design. We are anticipating many years of enjoyment of the property. **★★★★★ — Hillary S, Jan. 2017** > Ellen has done a wonderful job with the preplanning of our project. Her vision to beautify our side yard will allow us to bring more natural light and a more peaceful view into our home. In anticipation of spring, she suggested we start the planning process during the fall. It was a great idea! Planning ahead has allowed us to explore a variety of possibilities, nixing some while honing in on a solid plan. Come March/April, she will be implementing the plan for our outdoor space. We are looking forward to it! Please check back for updates on the results. **★★★★★ — Karen Penewell, Jan. 2017** > Ellen Weiss was contracted to do the landscaping at the Bellevue Big Picture School, in the Bellevue School District. We were on a limited budget, but Ellen Weiss was able to deliver a design and installation that will require very little maintenance, but will deliver continued interest and beauty from season to season. I highly recommend Ellen Weiss Landscape Design. ## Selected projects - [Seattle Mid-Century Remodel & Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seattle-mid-century-remodel-and-addition-pj-vj~2237703) - Location: Bellevue, WA - Photos: 18 - Description: This Seattle area mid-century modern addition and remodel was completed in several phases.
