Having never done a project like this, we were overwhelmed by all the pieces and what needed to happen in what order. Patty and her team made the process so much easier. She was able to really understand our style and make terrific suggestions to complete update the look of our house. We get so many complements! **Comment from Refresh Your Space:** > Hi Sheila, we love hearing that our clients are getting praise on their updated designs, thanks for sharing! ### All 17 reviews **★★★★★ — Michiko Wang, Nov. 2024** > I contacted Patty at Refresh Your Space after she did some updates on my Uncle's house prior to putting it on the market. The house sold quickly due to it looking amazing! For my project she helped with finishes and colors and gave me confidence in my choices. Her knowledge and experience guided me in the right direction when there can be so many choices. I would recommend RYS for any and all of your interior or exterior projects, their work is modern and current and "refreshing"! **Comment from Refresh Your Space:** > Hi Michiko, thanks so much for sharing your positive experience :) **★★★★★ — Jane Glicksman, Sept. 2024** > Recently my husband and I replaced the flooring in our home. Now, with new vinyl planking through out the living area, and carpeting in the bedrooms, it was time for us to repaint the walls and refresh the rest of our space. Picking wall colors always scared me so when I heard about Refresh Your Space from a friend, I decided give them a try. I hoped their guidance would get the right colors on our walls. > Patty Hampton and her associates at RYS helped us select the perfect wall colors. They also guided us in choosing new hardware for the interior doors, new blinds for the bedrooms, lighting for the kitchen and upholstery for several tired-looking chairs. In preparation for the repainting of the walls, all our pictures came off the walls. After the painters left, what to rehang and where best to display artwork presented a challenge. Patty and associates guided us with rehanging the artwork. We love the new look of our pieces. I should mention that I had some old, 'antique' furniture that Patty encouraged me to part with; I did and am so happy she talked me into letting Grandma's china cabinet go! > Recently we had guests in our home who hadn't visited in quite a while. After they left, I turned to my husband and told him how proud I was of our home's appearance and how happy I was with the choices we made. Refresh Your Space was responsible for all the great changes that had come about. Thank you, Patty and Flynne, for a wonderful "refresh!" You have my full endorsement! **Comment from Refresh Your Space:** > We love your story Jane, thanks for sharing it! It was our pleasure :) **★★★★★ — Janice C. M., Sept. 2024** > Simply put, we would not have been able to do our home interior remodel without Patty Hampton and Dianna Choi! My husband and I do not have the experience, knowledge, décor, patience or the time to manage a big project like a remodel. Patty and Dianna made it so easy for us. They were our project managers and designers. They took the time to get to know us and our likes and dislikes. We were impressed they remembered details from our numerous conversations. They walked us through every step of the way and handled everything. They did all the research and presented us with many options, which made it so much easier for us to just pick from the selections and make quick decisions. And somehow, everything was magically coordinated between them and the contractors. We trusted them both completely as we knew they had our best interest in mind at all times. Our home interior looks amazing, and we often get the “wow” factor with our guests. We have heard too many bad home remodel stories, so people are often shocked to hear that we had a great experience. I would highly recommend the work and partnership of Patty and Dianna. Together, they are a dynamic duo! **Comment from Refresh Your Space:** > Hi Janice, we pride ourselves on getting to know our clients and their unique styles so we can really tailor the design to their taste. Thanks for your lovely feedback! **★★★★★ — Rick D, Aug. 2024** > Patty and RYS were really helpful for us! We started out thinking we weren't going to have a designer for our bathroom remodel. Partway in (having bought a bunch of things), we realized there were some parts we'd overlooked (material transitions, finishes, what needed updating vs. what could stay). We were able to do a Mini-Consult with RYS on short notice and are super happy we did -- Patty helped us make a bunch of choices (some small, some larger) that all add up to a much more cohesive project. Patty worked with our budget and (short) timeline -- we needed only things that were in stock locally since our contractor was already working. I'd be very happy to work with RYS on any future projects! **Comment from Refresh Your Space:** > Rick, we're so glad you benefited from our mini consultation. We'd be happy to work with you in the future as well! **★★★★★ — Shampa De-Oertel, Jan. 2024** > We used Patty and her team to help us with a remodel of our kitchen and two bathrooms. They came up with creative ideas to help us optimize our small spaces, helped us pick everything out including guidance on what materials to consider vs not good for the rooms they'd be used in, helped us with identifying a contractor, and also helped us with the project management. Her expertise was invaluable and was instrumental to the fabulous outcome. **Comment from Refresh Your Space:** > Hi Shampa, we really appreciate your glowing review! We're so glad we could partner with you. **★★★★★ — Jackie martinez, Oct. 2023** > I work for a flooring store and have teamed up with Refresh Your Space on DOZENS of projects that need design help. I have worked with Patty for many years and more recently have worked with Flynne as well. Every project always turns out beautiful! **Comment from Refresh Your Space:** > Thanks so much Jackie, you are great at what you do as well :) **★★★★★ — Dana, Oct. 2023** > We had a great experience working with Refresh Your Space on our kitchen and dining room remodel. We worked with Patty from the start regarding our ideas and she was able to help us marry form and function - our kitchen is truly functional for our family's needs, but also beautiful! She was a great sounding board but helped us greatly with her design ideas, most particularly in her ideas for how to layout our space. We are so grateful that our project happened quickly and thoroughly with her help! **Comment from Refresh Your Space:** > We're so happy that we were able to help you improve your home for your family Dana! **★★★★★ — HU-238491479, Sept. 2023** > Amazingly thoughtful and creative. Balanced our needs on having a great balance of colors and palettes without breaking our budget . strongly recommend **Comment from Refresh Your Space:** > We're so glad to hear that you had such a positive experience! **★★★★★ — Lindsay Horn, Sept. 2023** > I hired RYS for an interior remodel of my home, including the living room, dining room, kitchen, and front bathroom. Patty and Dianna from RYS were wonderful to work with. They took the time to get to know my preferences and intent with the space, suggested additional ways to optimize the spaces, offered their guidance and professional opinion throughout the selection of materials, managed the ordering of most of the materials, and oversaw the entire project. We are very pleased with the result. and would love to work with them again for another project in the future. **Comment from Refresh Your Space:** > Hi Lindsay, thanks so much for sharing your feedback! It was a pleasure helping with your project. **★★★★★ — Nisha Qureshi, Sept. 2023** > We used Refresh Your Space for our Kitchen and Bathroom remodel and are thrilled with the results! It was our first time remodeling and Patty and Dianna from RYS made the process, from planning to execution, easy and enjoyable. > Highly recommend using their design services. **Comment from Refresh Your Space:** > Thanks Nisha for sharing your experience, we loved working with you guys! **★★★★★ — Dan Ziony, Feb. 2023** > We have worked with Patty, Flynn, Kim, and the RFS team on multiple projects to bring tired, dated homes to market for sale. Their design ideas and execution have been consistently excellent. They are great to work with, very communicative, and service- and solutions-oriented. And, ultimately, the quality, value, and results of their work has been by demonstrated by strong sales prices for the sellers. Highly recommend! **Comment from Refresh Your Space:** > Hi Dan, thanks so much for sharing your experience working with RYS! We are looking forward to working with you again. **★★★★★ — Sarah Wan, March 2019** > I hired H. Wise Interiors to help with internal and external house paint colors, ideas for front and back yard space use, interior space layout and design, furniture ideas/suggestions and layout, as well as all indoor flooring, bathroom and kitchen fixtures. Patty was very organized; we had clear communication at all times; all aspects were well designed and efficient; she listened to my needs and helped transform my house into the space I have always wanted. It was absolutely money and time well spent. **★★★★★ — Gary OGrady, Feb. 2019** > Patty is very conscientious, detailed, and creative. She is also very organized and works well with both clients and contractors. **★★★★★ — Larissa Kenny, Feb. 2019** > We loved the design work Patty from H. Wise Interiors did for us. She worked with our timeline and adjusted for every request. She listened to what we liked and managed to incorporate each element we wanted into her design presentations. In the end our living room is now our most favorite room to be in! **★★★★★ — Claire MacDonald, Feb. 2019** > I had the privilege of working alongside Patty for over a year. Not only is she a great designer, but she is also now a wonderful friend! She is meticulous and detailed in her work, very experienced in the design industry, and a true professional. Always on time with deadlines, Patty takes a lot of pride in her work. I am confident that anyone who gets the chance to work with her will be in great hands! **★★★★★ — Shehnaaz Suliman, Feb. 2019** > Patty was incredibly helpful. She has a keen eye and listened attentively to my ideas. She was superlatively patient and cared about the details. She was responsive and collaborative. Patty completely help me transform an unused and uninspiring space to a beautiful and welcoming space. I would absolutely recommend H.Wise Interiors to anyone contemplating a major or minor remodel. ## Selected projects - [Charleston Meadow \#2, Palo Alto](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/charleston-meadow-2-palo-alto-pj-vj~7238303) - Location: Palo Alto, CA - Photos: 9 - Description: This home renovation included a full kitchen update, as well as improvements to the living room, dining room, staircase, and paint throughout, incorporating a mid-century modern aesthetic. - [Lindenwood, Menlo Park](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lindenwood-menlo-park-pj-vj~7120283) - Location: Menlo Park, CA - Photos: 12 - Description: This transitional modern home remodel encompassed a full kitchen, dining room, and living room renovation with all new cabinetry, tile, countertops, hardware, and furniture.
