### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Sue Reynolds, Sept. 2016**

> Scott is creative and fun to work with.  He keeps projects on time and cost.  He is wonderful to work with.

**★★★★★ — kb5361, Dec. 2015**

> This was a HUGE job for a conference retreat center.  It took several years to complete.  Scott was involved every step of the way.

**★★★★★ — raj837, Dec. 2015**

> Very talented team of designers.   Love what they did in my basement!  They worked with my daughter to create an area that fit her style and ours.  Everything they presented was fabulous.

**★★★★★ — tlmorris772, March 2015**

> If you want a job done right the first time.  If you want creative vision and attention to detail. If you want a job done in a timely fashion with no lengthy delays, then Scott's Creative Home is the company for you.  I couldn't be more pleased with the work and finished bathroom.  Scott took the time to find out exactly what I was looking for and worked with me all the way.  The remodel took more than anticipated, yet the initial estimate was true to the finished price.  The craftsmen were easy to work with and always left a spotless work area.  They did an excellent job. I recommend Scott's Creative Home without reservation.

**★★★★★ — ecdesigngroup, May 2014**

> We purchased an office building in 2008 occupied by Scott's Creative Home that Scott had renovated into a beautiful facility.  Every room has a unique element of characterization created by Scott and his staff.  The exterior colors, curved handrail at the front entry, a metal staircase to the second floor and hanging pocket door with an external track are just a few details that grab the attention of our visitors.  It truly is a showcase of Scott's work and we are honored to have such a charming piece of Valley Junction.

**★★★★★ — debbiechapman5, April 2014**

> Scott was not only fun to work with but I loved his ideas.  It started off with a sofa and we ended up with a complete living room, including carpet.  Scott also helped me with pictures, lamps, window treatments and some accent pieces.
>
> I highly recommend Scott for his integrity and ability to create a space that is easy to live in and beautiful.  You won't be disappointed with the results.

**★★★★★ — Sunderlands, Feb. 2014**

> It is always a pleasant experience working with Scott in our showroom. He has a keen eye for design and is amazing at creating unique, beautiful spaces for his customers. He uses his professional experience to streamline the experience for them and make the design choices less overwhelming. We always look forward to a visit from him! :)

**★★★★★ — damemaggie, Jan. 2014**

> Scott is fantastic!!!  We purchased a 1925 Stucco Red Tile beauty and he is helping us reclaim her glory.
>
> The light for the dinning room he found for us is perfect!!!
>
> It matches the house and decor exactly.  He knew what she needed and found the perfect light fixture.  Pictures to follow.
>
> Scott knows and delivers!!!

**★★★★★ — denniskathy, Nov. 2013**

> We are very pleased with the finished product and service we received from Scott's Creative Homes. They recently completed a partial kitchen remodel that has us enjoying our kitchen space as one of the best entertainment areas of our home.
>
> We found Scott to be thoughtful, thorough, and very knowledgeable of design options. He took time to learn about how we live in our home, then took time to offer thoughts, and develop the plan. He was very responsive to our questions and completed all aspects of the project on time. His knowledge of the design business offered us the top product options throughout the process. If something needed adjusting, Scott was there to make it right.
>
> We are totally pleased with his work and will not hesitate to have him oversee our future projects.

**★★★★★ — daytonmac, Nov. 2013**

> Scott helped turn our dated family room into a stylish, yet functional, family space with a WOW factor. He and his wonderful team designed and created a fireplace and tv wall combining wood and stone elements that gave the room a well-needed focal point. They also built a wood countertop for a room-length cabinet that matches the wood surround of the fireplace and mantel. It truly transformed the room! Scott patiently navigated us through design options as we balanced our wants/needs with our budget constraints. His team was easy to have in our home: friendly, orderly, on time, detail-oriented, and highly skilled. We will definitely request their services for future projects!

**Comment from Bassett Furniture Design Studio:**

> This project was a test of perspective.  While we wanted to keep the fireplace low with an inset mantle, we wanted the TV as low as possible.  By using a trim pattern on top of the TV we achieved the function while maintaing our form.

**★★★★★ — jillzey, Oct. 2013**

> Scott's Creative Home designers are amazing! They listen to your needs as a homeowner & come up with innovative ideas to design challenges. They have assisted me in a variety of design projects- from finding unique window treatments to a reupholstery project to finding the perfect art work for the space. They truly desire to help you bring out your best design style in your home!

**★★★★★ — Gail Orcutt, July 2013**

> Scott is a great listener. My husband is fussy, and Scott understood the parameters of the project. Even though this was a small project, I always felt like it was important to Scott and Steve (his master craftsman). I would highly recommend Scott's Creative Home.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Exterior trim color** *(in Photo Questions)*

hi, I love the exterior color. what did you use for the trim?

A: Sherwin Williams 7048 URBANE BRONZE

**Q: I need to cancel the order that I was just notified about** *(in Design Dilemma)*

A couple days ago I got an email saying payment couldn't be confirmed.  I didn't realize I had ordered them.  When I went to respond our computer service was not operable.  Now I just got an email saying you were able to get payment.  I need to cancel this before it ships.

thanks,
susan

A: Susan  Try this link to have Customer Service help with this matter.... Good Luck 


https://help.houzz.com/s/article/How-can-I-contact-Customer-Support?language=en\_US

**Q: Backsplash grout** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I've purchased Backsplash tiles to go in our new home'so bright yellow kitchen. The tiles are a mixed penny round glass tiles in shades of orange, green and teal. I'm needing advice on what color grout will work well. I will attach photos (of the kitchen and a tile sheet), if able.

A: Arika  Try again attaching photos so we can help,

**Q: Corian Quartz Concrete Carrara** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Has anyone used this color for the primary Kitchen counter.  I can not find any images other than on the Corian site. I also can not find anyplace that stocks this so I'm unable to view a slab to get a better idea of the overall look.  I think it's a little shinier than some of the other quartz samples I have brought home but most of the others have been a white carrara look alike so don't reflect the light as much.

Would love to see real kitchen applications.  Also wondering if this would work well with a black walnut countertop.  I'm also considering Nero Mist which is black with white veining to mimic soapstone but I'm concerned the dust, crumbs, fingerprints will drive me crazy.

Copy of Slab image from website:

A: Corian Concrete Quartz

**Q: SCREWS: Missing Hardware from Faux Wood Blinds (Justblinds)...Help** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Hi

We were hoping to get our shutters installed before company comes this weekend, but the hardware is missing. We called JustBlinds, but won't get the hardware for another week.

Does anyone know what size and kind of screws go into faux wood plantation shutters? We are hoping to buy some, so we can get this installed asap. It's late here or I'd call the company and find out the size.

A: Furniture Cam

**Q: Undecided Living/Dining Room Dilemma** *(in Paint)*

I've been going back and forth with myself off and on, trying to decide if I want to change the rooms. It's only been like this for five years. 
Don't know if it's the color of furniture (brown), walls, or the whole space itself. Don't know if I should I just change the curtains, chairs, or lamps. Or just pretty much leave it alone, because no one is ever in the space. 
Open to any suggestions, that will maybe help my dissolved this back and forth issue with myself... TIA

A: Swapping the rooms is always an option and could change the usage.  Perhaps a more simple update would help, like adding some area rugs and changing the pillows.  But, from what I see, the 'curtains' seem to dim the natural light in the room, leaving it feeling drab.  Try changing them to simple panels from perhaps Bed Bath &amp; Beyond.  Place panels on the outer edge of the bay window and the edges of the dining room window. Painting the ceiling a lighter color might help the room feel more welcoming.
