I did a little research, consulted their website, and was very impressed with the design photos. After a cold call and initial meeting with them, I knew I had found fun, knowledgeable, and quality design professionals to help with my decorating project. > A few reasons that I enjoyed working with them and would recommend them to anyone looking for design help: > \* They really do guide you through the design process and listen. They didn't control the design but helped us find the pieces and look that fit our lives and taste. The end result - a great looking house that is pet-friendly, kid-friendly, and fits our family. And, looks fabulous. > \* They handled an issue with a return of a rug with professionalism and grace. I was impressed by their customer service. > \* They worked within our budget. I thought that hiring designers was for "other people" but they were able to work with us. I never felt pushed into buying anything or that they did not understand and stick with our budget range. > I highly recommend Southerly Abode. Our result is a beautiful and comfortable home. Everyone who comes into our home remarks on how lovely it is. Thanks, Southerly Abode! **Comment from Southerly Abode:** > Laura we absolutely loved working with you and your family! It was really a lot of fun incorporating your lovely art collection and dining room antiques into the overall design. We are thrilled that you are enjoying your home. :-) **★★★★★ — midge50, Sept. 2016** > I was absolutely stuck with a color scheme I couldn't work with..... Never thought of blue. The room is the most functional room in our home now. The couch selected is without a doubting of the most comfortable ones we have ever had. I greatly appreciate the guidance and the great working relationship !! They are great fun to work with! **Comment from Southerly Abode:** > Thank you so much for the lovely review! You were a lot of fun to work with as well. I hope we get to work with you again in the very near future ;-) **★★★★★ — HU-871772, July 2016** > Very organized and very thorough. Tiffany was able to figure out what styles matched our home and our personality. She was always able to provide more than one working solution and was able to steer us in the right direction throughout our project. **Comment from Southerly Abode:** > Thank you so much for the lovely review. I enjoyed working with you and hope to do so again in the future. **★★★★★ — lbrown2262, July 2016** > Southerly Abode made me love my home again! I hired Tiffany and Mary Helen to review all the rooms in my 15 year old home and help me give them a fresh new look. They provided perfect new paint colors, added statement making light fixtures and mixed new accessories and furniture with my existing pieces to create a beautiful new design! I love coming home to my "New again" home! Tiffany and Mary Helen understood my style and my budget. I highly recommend Southerly Abode. In fact, as a realtor, I recommend them to many of my clients and all are completed satisfied as well! They have a great team of craftsmen to call for any job from painters to refreshers to cabinet makers. A must for a great design team! **Comment from Southerly Abode:** > Thank you Lisa for the review. We love your home and enjoy working with you and your family. We are ready to tackle the bedroom built-ins. :-) **★★★★★ — Nick Mansito, July 2016** > Recently, Southerly Abode helped me with the design of my living room. When I began I really had no idea of what to do with the space, but after briefly meeting with Tiffany Anich, we had a direction and a concept. Tiffany was great at listening to what I needed in the space and worked within my budget. She helped me pick out a sofa and designed custom throw pillows, helped me with lighting, and even used some of my existing art and furniture in ways I would never have thought of. Her designs and knowledge are inspiring and unmatched. She is the consummate professional -prompt, organized, knowledgeable, determined, respectful, creative, and just an all around pleasure to work with. Tiffany went above and beyond by also helping me stage my home via Skype so that I could sell my property. Southerly Abode is a great design firm, and Tiffany is a wonderful person. I will contact them no questions asked should I need more design help in the future. **Comment from Southerly Abode:** > Thank you Nick for the wonderful review. We do work well with long distance clients. We are able to utilize tools such as Skype, Houzz, Pinterest, and FaceTime to keep the project communication flowing. Congrats on the sale of your property! **★★★★★ — Carmen Patty, July 2016** > I have been involved in several projects with Southerly Abode and could not have a better impression of them! These ladies are hardworking, talented, and easy to work with! Their attention to detail is incredible. One of the most impressive things is their ability to take what an owner already has and completely reimagine rooms and pieces! They are the masters at both reinventing spaces with a couple of tweaks and building from the ground up! I highly recommend this design duo! **Comment from Southerly Abode:** > Thank you! We very much enjoy working with your team. Please keep sending things our way. **★★★★★ — Carey Jones, July 2016** > Tiffany designed my sons nursery and I could not have been more happy with the results and the entire experience. Tiffany was a joy to work with and her ideas and execution were perfect. I would highly recommend Tiffany for any design project you may have. **Comment from Southerly Abode:** > Carey, I can't tell you what a pleasure it was working on your sons nursery. Those are the kinds of projects that make my job fun! I only wish I had taken more photos upon completion. **★★★★★ — Laura Parrish, July 2016** > Having never used a decorator before, I have to say I was more than pleased and happy with the results. After buying a home that needed a lot of remodeling, Tiffany' s eye for color and style was exactly what I needed. I wanted a home that had a relaxed and inviting feel from the moment you walked in. Tiffany took the time to get to know me and understand my families lifestyle as she created a home that is comfortable and livable yet very stylish and beautiful. > Thanks to Tiffany and Southerly Abode we are enjoying exactly what I envisioned our home would be. **★★★★★ — Laura Freeman, July 2016** > I have worked with Southerly Abode for several years and am always thoroughly impressed by their ability to seriously take their client's wants, needs, and style decisions into account. The end result is always a beautifully transformed space that remains inviting and accessible while reflecting the client's style and utilizing only the highest quality furniture and decor selections. Southerly Abode also excels at ensuring that each new project is consistently unique, fresh, and includes a diverse collection of curated pieces. I highly recommend this firm! **★★★★★ — Ann Badgley, July 2016** > My original purpose for hiring Tiffany was to pick out a paint color for my family room. That quickly changed when my husband and I decided to update most of our home. Tiffany was great to work with. Besides the fact that she's probably one of the nicest people I've ever met, she also communicates very well with her clients. She's very prompt. She has a great eye for design and I was very pleased when she was happy to work with pieces I already had and incorporate them into a more transitional design. I went from very traditional design with dark colors to a more transitional design with a light and airy feel. It was such a good experience that I didn't want it to end. I ended up completely tearing out my old kitchen and replacing it, changing paint colors, redecorating my family room, living room, dining room and bedroom. I still have a master bathroom to do and I can't wait to work on that. It has been a wonderful experience working with Tiffany at Southerly Abode!! **★★★★★ — HU-845076, July 2016** > I have worked with Tiffany in a project of remodeling in Miami for a client of mine and she was brilliant in coming up with some very creative ideas and solutions to get the best results! > My client was very satisfied with her job and is going to refer her to her friends and family! ## Selected projects - [Chattanooga Designer Show House 2016](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chattanooga-designer-show-house-2016-pj-vj~1873960) - Location: Chattanooga, TN - Photos: 12 - Description: The library presents a hip, sophisticated, yet casual feel. This multi-purpose room can be used not only as a library but as a room that you could entertain in-kick off your shoes, grab a cocktail, listen to some tunes, or read a book. Details like African mud cloth pillows, a Peruvian Frazada throw and mid-century brass accents bring in a subtle Boho vibe.
