She's extremely knowledgeable about the furniture industry, and was very helpful in teaching us about best practices and what to look for when shopping. We appreciated that she was very flexible in how we worked with her—she was happy to be more hands-on when we needed her to be, but also to point us in the right direction and let us do a lot of the digging ourselves when that made more sense for us. We also appreciated her transparency in pricing and the straightforward way in which she charged us only for her time rather than steering us towards certain products because of a personal incentive to recoup margins from vendors. We highly recommend Eileen! **★★★★★ — Neil S., Jan. 2022** > Eileen and the Crescendo Interiors team are always a pleasure to work with. They are extremely knowledgeable and creative. Eileen understands our style and find pieces and designs that work for our family (including items our kids can't break). We would be happy to work with the team again and would definitely refer the team to our family and friends. **★★★★★ — SuzanEdwards, Sept. 2020** > I love my new home, and I have Eileen to thank! Eileen is professional, honest and a pleasure to work with. She has a remarkable ability to visualize the end result when you’re looking at a house that barley has walls! From the numerous chandeliers, paint colors, tiles, and all the other foundational elements, Eileen executed perfectly. When it comes to furniture and accessories Eileen has a natural ability to create beauty and function, without breaking the bank! She has amazing taste and I would not hesitate to use Eileen on future projects or recommend her to others. **★★★★★ — jennifer lala, March 2020** > Eileen is such a delight to work! I had so many different ideas as to what I envisioned for our new home. Eileen was so patient with me during this stressful/exciting time. She listened, advised, opened my eyes to new ideas and guided me out of my comfort zone. She suggested using bold colors creating accent walls, room design and even unique furniture pieces. Eileen's attention to detail, professionalism, fun personality and responsiveness are impeccable! Her knowledge, creativity and years of experience is evident in her work. I highly recommend Eileen and I can't wait to work with her again! **★★★★★ — HU-590593061, Oct. 2019** > Eileen has done a great job for us and we highly recommend her. She is a true professional and we look forward to working with her on future projects. **★★★★★ — Renee O, Oct. 2019** > Highly recommend > I highly recommend Crescendo Interiors for its personal service and credentials. My interior designer, Eileen, had beautiful design ideas after we walked through my home and discussed design, lifestyle, and taste. Her ideas are creative and elegant and her ideas work with the whole family in mind. I love my home because of the layout, colors, fabrics, drapes, cabinetry, countertops etc that Eileen helped me select. I enjoyed working with Eileen because she is responsive and she made my decorating experience light and easy at an affordable rate. **★★★★★ — camillevan, Aug. 2019** > Eileen helped me re-decorate my first floor. She was so easy to work with and has an amazing eye for design, color and textures. I am so happy with how it all turned out! Way beyond what I thought it could look like! **★★★★★ — AnnMarie Zaccaro, Aug. 2019** > Crescendo Interiors is top notch. Eileen does a fabulous job understanding what your needs are and then finding just the right decor to meet those needs. She works hard and is attentive and on top of each and every project. She has years of experience and it shows in the quality of her work and in her professionalism. She can help with any project, big or small, as well as any style of decor. I cannot say enough good things about working with her! ## Selected projects - [New Construction](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-construction-pj-vj~6400710) - Location: Libertyville, IL - Photos: 29 - [First Floor Update](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/first-floor-update-pj-vj~5523858) - Location: Green Oaks, IL - Photos: 10 - [Master Bath Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bath-remodel-pj-vj~5523855) - Location: Wilmette, IL - Photos: 6 - [New Suburban Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-suburban-home-pj-vj~2208703) - Location: Libertyville, IL - Photos: 3 - [Powder Room Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/powder-room-remodel-pj-vj~6609913) - Location: Wilmette, IL - Photos: 2 [See all 5 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/eileen-plunkett-psenka-interior-design-asid-pfvwus-pf~503824100) ## Ideabooks - [Lake House](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/119159105/list/lake-house) — 34 ideas - [Client CPAC](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/157149631/list/client-cpac) — 1 idea - [2017](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/78416451/list/2017) — 19 ideas - [Client OP](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/153679663/list/client-op) — 8 ideas - [Facade update](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/147441951/list/facade-update) — 4 ideas - [LLP](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/145637487/list/llp) — 6 ideas - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/108128176/list/wish-list) — 8 ideas - [LKDC](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/142155168/list/lkdc) — 8 ideas - [OBT](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/139306620/list/obt) — 19 ideas - [Client WCJ](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/136660449/list/client-wcj) — 1 idea - [Laundry room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/136099285/list/laundry-room) — 2 ideas - [Client AS](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/134561441/list/client-as) — 3 ideas - [Client MS](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/131641077/list/client-ms) — 13 ideas - [FP](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/127681804/list/fp) — 48 ideas - [Client JP](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/127716168/list/client-jp) — 3 ideas - [Client SE](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/131036228/list/client-se) — 20 ideas - [Client TP](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/127554583/list/client-tp) — 3 ideas - [Client SD](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/107421811/list/client-sd) — 10 ideas - [2018 General](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/104929468/list/2018-general) — 8 ideas - [Client S&C](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/95552866/list/client-s-c) — 7 ideas [See all 35 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/eppinteriordesign) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
