**★★★★★ — melonieclaybrook, May 2013**

> Gary designed our new kitchen & we love it. He's very passionate about design!  Sometimes you have to reign him in a little ($$$) as he gets so excited about the project & the new product$ available but if you set a budget & stay focused you'll be happy w/the results. He was ALWAYS available & replied quickly to calls. One 'mistake' ended up being my favorite part of my kitchen. When picking granite, we opted for conservative then when we went to buy it, it wasn't available. My husband was out of town so it was just Gary & me. Again, We walked through miles of granite slabs but this time I heeded his advice and my countertops are STUNNING.  We also made a last-minute change to the backsplash when we found a new product. Again,  this was a home run!  We worked w/his contractor,Josh Peters whom I also highly recommend:  calm and reliable;he actually told me he likes problems because he likes troubleshooting!  It was a very positive experience. Just know your budget and your needs. So many options can be confusing....

> Gary did a great job integrating our ideas into his basic concept. He quickly comes up with alternatives when a detail is not to our liking. He works with our contractor step by step to solve construction issues. His mark ups are very fair. When our desires caused an over budget condition, he worked with us to lower costs.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Collaborator query** *(in Other)*

How do I add a collaborator to my idea book?

A: I do not see any of the things on my idea books either when I open them or just on the cover.  Is there something I am doing incorrect?

**Q: Need help decorating living room** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Hi all! We just ordered this camel colored sectional for our living room. The back of the couch will sit under the window and the chaise lounge will be closest to the door. Also, we will have a tv in this room. 

I want to maintain a contemporary/modern style in the room. I was considering camel, black, white/ivory, and a splash of jade as color themes. Would that work? What color combinations, furniture, and decor work with this couch? 

Thank you so much any and all suggestions!

Liz

A: OK, here's my two cents worth.  Since you have purchased this 3 piece sectional for your furure home and even you agree it's too big for the space why not loose the center section. place it elsewhere in the home or store it.  Place the chaise against the wall to the right of the window and the sofa with it's back on the oppoisite side creating a hall/entry from the front door.  this frees up the common wall with the closet and bath for the wall mounted TV and a slender sofa table or book case while creating a feeling of openess.  Now a small coffee table will work without making the room feel crowded..Seattle area has spoken
