### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Jennifer Lynas, Jan. 2018**

> Marietta was a pleasure to work with. She helped me create a beautiful and kid-friendly living room in our first home. I love everything about the space; the colors, furniture selection, and calming feel. She was professional and answered all my questions with ease. She made the project an enjoyable and fun experience. Thank you for your expertise, Marietta! I

**★★★★★ — Dave Carney, Jan. 2018**

> My wife and I added a massive kitchen and family room to our 1904 historic house. We came into Classic Interiors to look for a sofa and we walked out with an amazing designer. Marietta took us on a designer journey and transformed our vision into reality. She came to our house and helped us select wall colors not just for the new space but throughout our house. The furniture she selected is truly amazing!  We would have not been able to have selected it on our own.  When our friends come over they are blown away and it's because of Marietta's talent!   Can't wait to have her do our other rooms. We love Marietta and classic interiors!!!

**★★★★★ — Karen Fisher, Nov. 2017**

> I give Linda and Classic interiors my HIGHEST recommendation. I had most of my rancher to be renovated in 2017, and 2 previous Interior Decorators and 5 "Kitchen Designers" couldn't come up with a cohesive plan that flowed with the existing house.  Linda Cotter came up with a beautiful layout in 4 days!!  She was very patient with me and the stress of a renovation, and considerate of my budget.  Without her, all of my hair would be gray and falling out.  She worked well with both my husband and the contractors (no small feat), and now I have the house of my dreams.  I could never have done this without someone with Linda's years of experience.

**Comment from Classic Interiors:**

> You are too kind!!  I enjoy working with you and seeing your house become a totally new  and beautiful home you love.

**★★★★★ — jackson21042, Sept. 2017**

> Linda has been wonderful to work with!  She went above and beyond, helping with everything from design to selection of furniture, flooring, linens, and paint color for the walls.  Her design was perfect for our home and functional for our lifestyle.  I look forward to working with her on future projects.  Thank you, Linda!

**Comment from Classic Interiors:**

> What a lovely review from such a lovely lady!  Your family is wonderful to work for and I, too, look forward to more fun in the future.

**★★★★★ — Priya LIttle, Aug. 2017**

> My husband and I moved into a home about 4 times the size of our old one so needed furniture for many different spaces including the living room, dining room and bedrooms. Marietta came out to our house and spent a lot of time getting to know the space and us and gave great recommendations on her first visit. She worked with us closely and conveniently over email and meeting periodically in person to get us exactly what we were looking for and within our budget. She gave a good balance of her own professional opinion while listening to what we wanted too.

**Comment from Classic Interiors:**

> Thank you for your kind review.  We are so happy that you are pleased with Marietta's suggestions.

**★★★★★ — Debbie Jerrell, July 2017**

> I had a major project with my dads home. Felt very overwhelmed.
> I talked to Linda. She came out right away. I felt comfortable with her right away. I told her what I like and before I knew it she produced a wonderful plan for me and the home. Linda is the best at her work. Including her own experiences with remodeling. My dads home is finished now and I cant tell Linda enough what a great job she did. It's beautiful. Classy and comfortable all in the same home.

**Comment from Classic Interiors:**

> What a lovely review!  I'm so glad you are happy with your project - it is fun to work with such warm people!  Linda

**★★★★★ — Susan Farnsworth, June 2017**

> I worked with Carolyn, we chose couches for the Living Room and Family Room. I absolutely love them, they met my expectations exactly.
> The Service I received was excellent, I had some damage on the back of the Family Room sectional. They paid for a local upholsterer to come out, after ordering the exact fabric from the furniture co.. He did the work in my home so I did not have to have them taken to his store, and he did a beautiful job. You would never know there was any damage.
> I plan on returning for chairs for my Living Room. I love the store and loved working with Carolyn, all the designer were helpful and friendly. THANK YOU CLASSIC INTERIORS!

**★★★★★ — Eileen Arnold, June 2017**

> Working with Linda at Classic Interiors has been a pleasure.  I have been working with Linda for about one year, and will continue working with her until my house is decorated.  She is one of those people that you feel like old friends after the first meeting.  If you want a designer that's fun, innovative, and patient give Linda a call.

**Comment from Classic Interiors:**

> How nice of you!!  I have the best clients!!  Linda

**★★★★★ — Paul Muma, Nov. 2016**

> Linda delivered a great experience and a great family room.  Linda helped select the paint, the furniture and the layout of the room.  She handled every detail to deliver a warm and functional family room that has been the delight of all of our friends and family.  Thanks Classic Interiors!

**Comment from Classic Interiors:**

> What l lovely review!  You take much better pictures than I do - thanks so much for your support.  Have a wonderful holiday and my best to you and yours, Linda

**★★★★★ — meliacay, March 2016**

> Linda came to our house, spoke to us about what we like and dislike, then came back with some ideas and examples of what we could do in our house.  We liked what she proposed as we would not have matched the same furniture on our own. Linda was there for our delivery and made sure everything was right. We appreciated the personal touch. We are bringing her back for additional ideas.

**★★★★★ — cvb1049, Jan. 2016**

> Linda worked with from 2011 till 2013 while we build our new home in Naples, Florida.
> She was extremely easy to work with and had a great vision as how the home would turn out. She is very organized and works with you on both your style --all the while considerate of the costs.  I have used on a few smaller things since our home was finished and highly recommend her.................

**★★★★★ — mazcko, Sept. 2015**

> After visiting 10 or 12 furniture stores, Thank God we found Classic Interiors in downtown Ellicott City. Linda has taken us under her wing and shown us possibilities for decorating our new home that we would never have imagined! Even my Engineer husband (with very little taste, but lots of opinions) has been won over by Linda. Thank you Linda - you are awesome and I hope we don't drive you crazy by the end of this project!!

**Comment from Classic Interiors:**

> Wow - what a lovely unprompted review!  You are both too sweet and a joy to work with - you could never drive me crazy!

  - Description: This Naples cottage bedroom has deep navy walls which set off the beautiful ocean this is grounded by the dark, rich wood floor in wide planks. A Lexington king bed ,night stands, and armoire give a miew. Linda gave it a nautical feel by planking the cathedral ceiling and painting a crisp white to match the woodwork. All asculine feel and the woven bed bench is a fun island accent. I love the way the ceiling fan replicates the ceiling - nit's the little things!
