**★★★★★ — Paulie Zozos, Nov. 2017**

> Bill decorated our Master bedroom.  He created a sophisticated environment that is both comfortable and elegant.    Years later, we continue to enjoy the quality and design he created for us.

**Comment from Gantt's Decorating:**

> Paulie,   What a pleasant surprise!    Thank you for your kind and complimentary review.

> Bill

**★★★★★ — Rosemary Schaedler, Dec. 2016**

> I just wanted to say what  wonderful work Bill Gantt does.  He has done beautiful work throughout my home.  The window treatments he does are gorgeous.  He is very creative, but also works with the client to  fulfill their expectations.  He is the most reasonably priced decorator in the area and his work is high quality.  He has done work for me for over 20 years and I have never been disappointed with his work!

**★★★★★ — Carol Tallick, March 2015**

> Gantt's Decorating has turned my ordinary great room into a warm & inviting room. We have known & worked with Mr. Gantt's on several occasions. He will visit your home, give you advice ( which my husband has done several of his suggestions), ask what your likes/dislikes are, research fabric swatches all for a reasonable price & in a timely fashion. We have converted a dining room into a study, GD suggest we install a door for more privacy, custom window treatments & paint colors. We also, wallpapered our kitchen, suggested paint colors & adding trim molding to the great room wall to create a focal point. His talent for encouraging DIY, window treatments, embellishments & just giving a room a certain pizazz that other decorators overlook.

**★★★★★ — sammieguy, March 2015**

> Gantt's Decorating has been a mainstay in my home decorating for about 20 years now. Honestly, I can't even imagine working with any other decorating concern. Bill has been able to assimilate my taste, likes and dislikes, and come up with exciting and creative decorating solutions for me. My house was on the Historic Harrisburg Candlelight House tour a few years back, and this would have never happened without Bill's expert help.
>
> He has assisted me in decorating 7 of the nine rooms in my home, and I have always been delighted with the results. And on top of that, he is, in my opinion, reasonable cost wise, exhibiting a sound discretion about keeping your costs down without sacrificing the quality of the final product.
>
> I would not hesitate to recommend Gantt's Decorating.

**★★★★★ — User, May 2014**

> Gantt provided excellent advice about a paint mistake I made. He suggested a specific paint color as well as a particular wall paper option, both very nice possibilities.

**★★★★ — jbahoric, April 2014**

> Bill spent a lot of time with my wife and I,giving us a selection of designs and ideas to choose from. He provided samples and drawings to make the selection process easier. His professionalism was great. He made sure we were satisfied with the entire project.

**★★★★★ — stuffandchris, April 2013**

> My husband and I purchased an existing home and Bill has been helping us with renovating design and decor for every room over the last two years. He has advised us on carpet and paint selections, furniture, color palette, and, his specialty..... window treatments. The window treatments that he has designed and constructed are "works of art" and are truly customized.  It is quite rare these days to find a decorator that has the talent to make their own window treatments rather than have the work done by another person. His designs are very well planned and he takes great care to be certain that all components of a particular room, as well as the rest of the house, compliment each other. He is easy and fun to work with as well.  The rooms that he has helped us with are GORGEOUS!!!   What a treat to come home from a long work day to a beautiful home.  We are happy to give him an "excellent" recommendation.

**★★★★★ — cedarhill1, April 2013**

> Bill has completed many projects for us over the years.   His attention to detail and creativity are outstanding.   He especially excels at choosing color and fabrics to bring out the best in a room.  To date, he has decorated our master bedroom, dining room, library, pool house, guest bedroom and a bedroom in our vacation home.  Needless to say, we love his work!

**★★★★★ — deecastriota, March 2013**

> Bill Gantt was recommended by an associate of mine.   We purchased a unique home and didn't know what to do with it.  I wanted it done right.  Bill had a ton of ideas for our home.  Bill made window treatments for the whole house plus matching bed spread for master bedsroom.   He had ideas for seating in addition to the sofas.    He made 2 benches of which one was mine and just needed to match.  The window treatments look as good as the day he installed them.   They are so well made with great detail.   My painter  even commented on the quality of work which he saw when he took the window treatments down before painting,  Bill is very talented and can do anything with fabric.  I can't remember the price but I know it was affordable or I couldn't have hired him.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Kitchen floor help** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I hate my kitchen floor.... old laminate yuck. I want to get faux woodds tile. But in a year I am going to completely remodel the kitchen.  New cabilites, counterpoint, etc.  Do I have to wait for the remodel to get a new floor?

A: I would suggest you rethink the faux wood tiles.   Personally I never subscribe to one material trying to look like something it is not.  I know they are popular now but unlike traditional tile they will soon look dated and you will find yourself hating your floors again.

**Q: Help with flooring color to coordinate with orange toned cabinets** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Carpet on the 1st level of the house needs to be replaced and I want to do a wood look throughout for continuity. It will be less expensive to replace the current beech hardwood vs match and refinish so I am looking at my options. Would it be best to stick with a lighter colored floor to coordinate with the orange toned cabinets or would any darker options look good? 
Side note: appliances will be replaced with stainless steel and island with be sized down and rectangular. Under cabinet lighting already in place. Eventually counters will be replaced and full height backsplash added.
Thanks!!

A: Medium tone colors always look best with natural wood cabinets.   Your kitchen is on the small size so it is important to eliminate contrast and blend.  The fewer changes in color and tone the better.

**Q: Triangle shaped apartment (700 sqft) layout - HELP!!** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Hi all! I'm moving into a new apartment fresh out of college, and for the time being, I will be living in this awkwardly shaped apartment (700 sqft). Being a complete beginner at furnishing, I wish I could have found a place with a more straightforward floor plan, but given the absolutely insane rent and demand in the area I'll be living in, I am happy to settle for this guy. I'm not too crazy with the example layout above, and I'd love to hear any advice houzz community might have in mind.
I will be living with one other person, and we will be sharing one bed. Following is the list of furnitures/appliances I'd really like to (more like, need to) fit in this apartment:

(at least) a 2-seater sofa
a 46-inch TV (or a monitor on a desk)
a small dining table (maybe 2 or 3 small chairs)
a queen/full bed (with large drawers underneath)
a nightstand

The awkward living room space is making it really difficult to place sofa and TV in a way that makes sense. I don't think I'll enjoy watching movies with my head tilted. So I'm considering getting a desk and a computer monitor instead, since the TV is really just going to be used as a huge monitor for us two (netflix, movies, etc.).
Also, it would be great if I could fit in a medium-sized drawer somewhere in the bedroom - or maybe even inside the closet space. Sorry for the long description, and I appreciate any help you might be able to offer. Thank you!

A: I think your arrangement makes good use of the space.  I would also suggest that you switch the table and chairs to the kitchen end.  In a small space like this putting furniture caty corner is a big waste of space you don't have.

**Q: Help Sunroom/4 Season room** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Please help! I have struggled with furniture placement, rugs and window blinds for 25 years! This oddly shaped room has a lot of light and faces southeast. I LOVE this room but know that there is so much more I could do with it. Thanks in advance

A: I agree with Mocreidhi except I don't think the rugs work for you.  I would think the medium dark wood walls and ceiling make for a warm cozy environment in winter but  seem a little dark and warm in the spring and summer.  I would change the rugs and find a fabric in very bright cheery colors (picking up some of the orange in the chair) Yellow, orange ,lime green with a little touch of brown.   A bright cotton print tropical design comes to mind.  I would make simple roman shades for each window, a table cloth(with a square over cloth of the dominate color) and large comfort pillows for the sofa all out of the same fabric.   This will not only brighten up the drab space but also establish a theme.  Put down plain rugs in the dominate color of the fabric.

**Q: Small dining area dilemma** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I need help! I just bought my home , and I absolutely love it. The only issue is .. I'm stressing over how to decorate this house! I'm staring with the dining area.. first: I got new cabinets, they have a contemporary style. Added the gray hardwood floors, walls are also a light gray. I bought this light fixture because I thought it was gorgeous! Well.. now, I have no clue what style dining table to get.. help!
should I change the light fixture?
i was thinking a round dining table..?
white? Black?
Experts!!.. HELP!! Lol

A: Considering the space and kitchen cabinets I would go with white.  I know grey is very popular now but it makes for a very tiresome drab living space.  The white will work with any color.   I predict all the people painting grey now will be repainting to color in a few years.

**Q: Fireplace Built In Top Styling Help** *(in Design Dilemma)*

We recently moved into a new house with a pretty bluish/gray built in surrounding the fireplace. I need help with how to style the top in a clean, simple - yet stylish - way. Obviously bare and with all my random stuff isn't cutting it. Any ideas or actual product links would be much appreciated!

A: What is that mammoth thing above the mantle?
