From the moment she stepped into our home (during construction) she took-over and handled any issues that arose. She knows how to work with all the subcontractors to get what she wants done in a way that is both authoritative and kind. She has fresh ideas, likes to push the envelope with design, and is a blast to work with. **★★★★★ — lisaroth111, Sept. 2015** > Ilene had the vision to transform our living room, and home offices into beautiful and functional living spaces. She also took an old basement and made it into a "something for everyone room" with a wine cellar, media room, sound stage, and eating area - truly spectacular. Ilene has incredible vision, a great work ethic, and is truly the nicest person to work with. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her services in the future. **★★★★★ — Josh Ackerman, Sept. 2015** > As a premier builder on the North Shore I have the opportunity to work with many design firms.

They configured the spaces, helped with full kitchen and bathroom designs, tile selection, carpet, rugs, wallpaper, paint color selections, cabinetry and all the new furniture and accessories we needed. > > Because we have children, we wanted the house to be livable, comfortable and functional, as well as gorgeous!

You had such an amazing vision for our home and turned it into a reality. Most importantly, you listened to what we wanted and also understood what we needed, and found a way to work within our budget to transform our home. Our living room is now my favorite place to relax - it feels like I'm in at an exclusive ski lodge in our nature themed room. You really brought the outside woods inside with your incredible design, from the custom built-ins to the tiled fireplace - it is perfect for us. Our basement is truly an escape for us - you created a wine room that we call "Untitled" with its prohibition-era theme and just the right amount of dramatic flair. The textured wallpaper you selected for the accent wall and the brick pattern for main wall are incredible! The spa bathroom you designed is truly a getaway for us - especially after working out in our exercise room with the gorgeous glass barn door! You took pride in every detail of our project! We are thrilled! We would gladly refer you to anyone we know! Thank you for everything! **★★★★★ — Jamie Robin, Aug. 2015** > Ilene and Kay have been an absolute pleasure to work with! They have classic, beautiful taste and really have transformed my house. They have great connections for furniture, built-ins, wallpaper, etc. I would absolutely recommend this duo, they are fun, experienced and professional. **★★★★★ — shamitoma, March 2015** > The smartest decision I have made was hiring Ilene Chase Design. I had interviewed many designers and Ilene really understood my idea of a dream home. The team is so smart and hands on. Every time we have guest over they can't believe the creativity and detail in our home. They are experienced and the best part is they care so much! Love them!
