Kept everything in our budget **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Hello! > Thank you for your kind review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed working with Ashton and By Design Interiors. **★★★★★ — Bryan Rohm, April 2021** > I've worked with a few designers in my day. Erika is by far the best I have ever worked with. She is currently helping us with a remodel and a beach house, and we couldn't be happier. Let me list the ways: highly responsive (which is sometimes hard to find in this industry); very creative; cost conscious; thoughtful; detailed; etc. The list goes on. The short of it is that she takes the time to listen to the client (or, in my case, multiple clients -- my spouse and I), and triangulate our often poorly articulated wants into beautiful solutions. Can't say enough good things. She is best in class. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Hi Bryan, Thank you so much for the kind review! We are so happy to hear you have enjoyed working with Erika and By Design Interiors. We truly appreciate you! **★★★★★ — HU-515251809, April 2021** > By Design is the best design company I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! Erika designed our custom home in Cypress and is currently helping design our new lake house! Her vision is a perfect reflection of my personality and tastes. She always has innovative ideas to customize any and all projects. She’s the only one I will use on our future projects too.... **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you so much for the kind words! We are so happy to hear you have enjoyed working with Erika and By Design Interiors. We truly appreciate you! **★★★★★ — Tina Craft, Feb. 2021** > I’m in the middle of my design project with Peggy and team and it is my first time to work with a designer. Love the creativity going into the project, the accessibility of the team to answer my questions and where the project is going! Can’t wait to see the final reveal. Highly recommend this team. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Hi Tina, > Thank you for the kind review! We truly appreciate it! Can't wait for the final outcome - it is going to be stunning! **★★★★★ — Hames Custom Builders, Jan. 2021** > We loved them for our personal home and highly recommend them to our clients. Working with Erika Barczak as both homeowner and general contractor is delightful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > It's always a joy working with Hames Custom Builders. Thank you for the kind review of Erika and By Design Interiors. We look forward to many future partnerships! **★★★★★ — jkyoungbloodmd, Jan. 2021** > Ashton has great vision and expertise. She has excellent follow through and is extremely dependable. She has done many different projects, one of which was a large remodel, and we are very pleased. I highly recommend Ashton! **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed working with Ashton and By Design Interiors. **★★★★★ — Cindy Sykes, Dec. 2020** > By Design Interiors has a great eye for paint color-we wanted a fresh update and they were able to give us a color selection that complemented the features of our house. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Hi Cindy, > We are so happy to hear you enjoyed working with By Design Interiors. Thank you for the kind review! **★★★★★ — Betsy Barton, Nov. 2020** > Erika was a pleasure to work with. She worked at lightening speed and alway returned my calls/texts promptly, which was much appreciated. > > She has great knowledge of products available and strove to provide options suited to my individual style. Guides for tile layout and options for lighting were presented clearly and included items at my price range. > > Erika helped me achieve a fresh look for traditional space and I would recommend Erika for anyone with a major design project, **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Hi Betsy, > Thank you for the kind review. We are so happy to hear you have enjoyed working with Erika and By Design Interiors! **★★★★★ — Partners in Renovation, Nov. 2020** > I am a partner in a residential remodeling firm in Northwest Harris County, and we have worked with Ayca Stiffel at By Design Interiors, Inc. on more than one project. Ayca brings great design ideas to a project, and works very well with both contractors and clients. One thing that sets her apart from many designers is a very good understanding of the construction process. By Design Interiors has been in this industry for some 30+ years in the same area of Harris County where we primarily work. We have worked with a handful of designers n the past, but in the future I look forward to working with Ayca and By Design Interiors on as many projects as possible. I would highly recommend their services. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you for the kind review of Ayca and By Design Interiors. We look forward to working with you on more projects again soon! **★★★★★ — Natalia B., Nov. 2020** > Peggy has been wonderful to work with. She helped redesign a few of our rooms including picking out new furniture, light fixtures and rugs. She also provided advice on one room that we were remodeling. She brought some beautiful colors and nice textures to our home. Her advice was practical and she was happy to work with the pieces of furniture that we wanted to keep. Highly recommend! **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Hi Natalia, Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed working with Peggy. **★★★★★ — cadestran, June 2020** > Ashton Joseph is OUTSTANDING! We met Ashton four years ago while remodeling our farmhouse. She did such a great job, that when we decided to sell the home; the first people who viewed it bought it. Since then we have used her on two additional, but very different projects...a lake home renovation and a rustic, new-build barndominium. Ashton’s stylistic versatility along with her eye for design, color, fixtures, and furniture placement make her extraordinary. Her positive demeanor and great personality make her, in our opinion, the very BEST! We like that Ashton is opinionated but not pushy. She always takes time to listen intently to our wants and then synergistically merges her ideas with ours to create something beyond what we could ever imagine. Each time we work with her, the finished product far exceeds our initial vision. We think so highly of Ashton that we would never consider doing another new build, remodel, or renovation without her...She's that good! **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you for the kind words!! We appreciate you taking the time to write such a wonderful review of Ashton! **★★★★★ — sdgregurek, April 2020** > I worked with Erika Barczak at By Design Interiors, Inc. She was absolutely incredible! She was an invaluable help to us as we were building our house. She helped us tremendously by showing us samples of things that were within our budget, and she listened to what WE wanted and never tried to push her personal preferences on us. She helped us in all areas: cabinetry, hardware, tile, granite, paint, rugs, furniture, etc. We get compliments on things that she helped us pick out all the time! I would highly suggest using her and her company. We are so glad we did. It made the whole process of building a home go so smoothly! **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > We appreciate you taking the time to write Erika such a wonderful review. Thank you for being our client, we appreciate you! **★★★★★ — Stephanie Barron, Oct. 2019** > I have had the pleasure of Peggy Fuller's professional design skills and talent through 3 major - some wall moving - remodels and a number of smaller projects for many years. > > She has understood my taste, style and color palate and interjects trends along the way - always keeping budget in mind. > > Peggy listens and collaborates with me on our objectives. I always feel part of the team. > Her design projects display function, beauty and elegance on a unique level that exceeds my expectations!! > What a treasure! **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Hi, Stephanie, > > We appreciate you taking the time to write Peggy such a wonderful review. Thank you for being a long-time client, we appreciate you! **★★★★★ — jan ward, Oct. 2019** > Peggy Fuller has guided us in the construction of 2 new homes, from blueprint stage all the way through final design. With her wealth of experience, she was able to provide guidance from initial ideas through the nitty gritty of construction and on through to the finished design. She was able to suggest small changes in the plan that improved the functionality of the house, things that even the architect had not thought of. We also appreciated her willingness to listen to us, the homeowners and incorporate our lifestyle into the planning, building and furnishing as well. We highly recommend Peggy Fuller and her team of professionals for any design projects, large or small! **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Hi Jan, > > Thank you so much for the review of Peggy. She has mentioned you are a wonderful client to work with. We appreciate you! **★★★★★ — westcanyon2, Oct. 2019** > We were flooded by Harvey August 27, 2017. > Needed assistance in redoing the complete interior of the house, everything had to be ripped out due to water damage, and working with the contractor. > Erika helped us in choosing replacement cabinets, countertops, tile, flooring, paint colors, plumbing and ceiling fans/lighting fixtures, door hardware, and other interior items. > She relayed this all to the contractor. > Could not have gotten through the process without her. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you, Chris, for taking the time out to let us know your experience working with Erika. We appreciate your positive review! **★★★★★ — S K, Oct. 2019** > We have worked with Ayca and meeting with several other prestigious design firms, we knew upon meeting with her in the office, that she would be perfect for our new home. Her attention to detail, her vision, and her follow-up are truly some of the hallmarks which helped us to transform our home to a new dimension. I would not hesitate to work with her and I would encourage you to give her an opportunity to work with your home project and you will not be disappointed. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you, for taking the time out to post such a wonderful review for Ayca. We appreciate you! **★★★★★ — Ann Dromsky, Oct. 2019** > Erika is the best interior designer we have ever met. Her ability to listen and make selections that reflect our aesthetic is unparalleled. Since starting our first project, we've continued to be amazed at the thought and attention to detail she continues to provide. Her knowledge of products, installation, and correspondence is phenomenal. We are now in our second phase of design and thinking ahead to future projects. Erika and Isabel will receive all our business. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you, Ann, for taking the time out to write Erika such a wonderful review. We appreciate you! **★★★★★ — Jen Meaux, Oct. 2019** > Erika was a pleasure to work with! Our home flooded during Hurricane Harvey so understandably our anxiety was through the roof. She came in and listened to our needs and desires and came up with a beautiful design plan. She completed the job fabulously. We couldn’t be happier. We would highly recommend Erika and the By Design Interiors team. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you, Jen, for writing such a detailed and rave review about your experience working with Erika, we appreciate you! **★★★★★ — Ann Perez, Oct. 2019** > Erika was a joy to work with - she was very helpful and after several meetings she really picked up on my style preferences. She helped me with everything for my new home. Erika would choose tile or fabric samples for me to look at that were so perfect - she really made choosing items effortless. She had the ability to guide without pushing - she is just wonderful! **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you, Ann, for taking the time to write this wonderful review, we appreciate you! **★★★★★ — HU-155321178, July 2019** > We recently remodeled our house and Ayca helped us to pick our window treatments. Working with Ayca was a great experience. She provided a lot more options and flexibility that what we have seen from other designers. She is very professional and knowledgeable about different products. She was very helpful to select right products and very flexible with time. Came to our house on weekends to accommodate our needs. There was an unfortunate mistake with one of the products and she took full responsibility without any questioning and she replaced it with the right color immediately. If you are looking for someone with wealth of knowledge Ayca is the person to call. She is kind, patient, responsible and very trustworthy. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you so much for leaving Ayca a detailed and rave review. We appreciate you! **★★★★★ — Bill R., May 2019** > Our project actually started April 2017, although the design and scoping part started earlier. We worked with Ashton and without her help, we would not have ended up with the awesome results we have! We remodeled our entire 2 story house, top to bottom, including a gut of our utility, kitchen and master bath. Ashton worked with our contractor and his employees and subs on an almost daily basis during the actual demo and construction phase, which was about 3.5 months total. > > We had worked with another decorator previously on furnishings and other details, and they had pegged our style as "Transitional". While we liked the result, when we decided to do the full remodel we felt like we really wanted to be more on the soft side of contemporary. We like light and light colors with contrast, and Aston was able to pick up on this quickly and steer us in the right directions - not easy because my wife and I see colors and textures differently (no, I am not color blind! :+) ) We even asked Ashton to help us pick a shade/color to repaint the exterior of our house, and she nailed it! Her color choices were always the right ones - she has a great eye for colors and textures, down to the details. > > We ended up replacing most of our furnishings and window treatments as well, which is why the project has really only recently ended! We loved what Ashton was doing so much we just kept going! The result of our remodel and redecoration is a house we love being in that is stylish, beautiful, functional and comfortable, and which gets immediate "wows" when folks come in, including our "spa" master bath and beautiful and relaxing master bedroom. > > Ashton communicates well and promptly and was always there when we needed quick answers on design changes, colors, etc. Easily the best decorator we have worked with for our style and taste, and those to whom we have recommended her have been equally as pleased. > > We highly recommend Ashton and By Design! **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you, Bill, for taking the time to write Ashton such a rave and detailed review. We appreciate you! **★★★★★ — Linda Guynes, March 2019** > My husband and I recently downsized from 3,500 sq ft to only 1900 sq ft and felt overwhelmed with all of our "stuff" and where to put it. Ayca immediately understood our need to make our new house a home and find just the right placement for the things most important to us. She was brilliant, kind, and efficient. Thank you, Ayca, for making us feel that no job is too small. We look forward to working with you again and referring you to family and friends. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you, Linda, for leaving such a wonderful review for our designer Ayca, we appreciate your feedback. **★★★★★ — Jeff & Lori Schulze, March 2019** > We have been working with Ayca the past several months to update our home. Her design expertise and easy going demeanor are a calming influence for us as we tend to struggle with design decisions. Her presentations for furniture, rugs, lighting, etc. always include several design options in a varied price range. If any issue should arise, she is quick to address and always responds to emails, texts or calls. Most recently, she came to the rescue helping us choose a backsplash tile that was appropriate for our space helping us avoid a costly mistake. The design choices she has helped us with have all proven to be right on the mark and our home is becoming a happier place! She has referred us to trades to carry out tile, painting and trim work, and we have been pleased with their work. We certainly look forward to continuing to work with Ayca and highly recommend her and By Design Interiors. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you so much, Lori, for the review, we truly appreciate your business! **★★★★★ — Mariko Sanders, Feb. 2019** > We have been working with Ayca for over a year. We first started talking with her when we were about to buy a new house and she was going to help us decorate. Then our home flooded in Harvey and our project became much bigger. She referred is to our amazing contractor, and various other people and helped us every step of the way. Literally from floor to ceiling. It has been absolutely a wonderful process with Ayca. She makes us feel like we are her only clients and is very helpful steering us in the right direction when I get a little wild with my choices. We recently moved back in and all our choices are in and we absolutely love how it’s turned out. Just do it! Call Ayca **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you so much, Mariko, for the review, we truly appreciate your business! **★★★★★ — Shellie Reagan, Dec. 2018** > Ayca was great, she was able to pickup on my style. I had a hard time expressing what I really wanted and she was able to figure out what I really like and implement it into her design. She's always very professional and prompt yet fun to work with. I look forward to working with her again in the future! **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you so much, Shellie, for the review, we truly appreciate your business! **★★★★★ — Mary Julich, May 2018** > What a fun experience this remodel of my home has been. This has been due to the fact that I have had the pleasure of working with By Design Interiors. The lovely women I am working with have spent many hours with my husband and myself getting to know us and our tastes but they have spent just as much time teaching us and guiding us on how we can achieve the results we want. They continue their search constantly for materials, furniture and accessories that will grace our home for many years to come. Their patience seems limitless. Sincere thanks to both of these ladies, Peggy and Lauren, for all of your time and support. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you so much, Mary, for your kind words. We love working with you and your husband to create the perfect space for many years to come! **★★★★★ — Davis Robin, March 2018** > Ashton Morgan is a fabulous designer. She has helped me with so many things in my home. I met her when she was an assistant for another designer at By Design Interiors. She was working her way up and then when she was taking her own clients I used her because she made the design process easy for me to make decisions and she was so good at it. She is marvelously creative, patient, and a lot of fun to work with. She has helped in all the rooms of my house and even my kids loved working with her on their bedrooms. They thought she was really hip and liked her style. After working with her for several years she feels like family to me! I can't say enough good things about her! If I need anything new in the future, she has my business. **★★★★★ — Kyle Burks, Feb. 2018** > Fantastic design team! Helped us select and coordinate all of our appliances, paints, tiles, countertops, fixtures and even arranged for a mural artist for our daughter’s room! **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you, Kyle, for your kind words! We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. We look forward to working with you again in the future! > > By Design Interiors, Inc. **★★★★★ — kwilliams541\_houston1, Feb. 2018** > Ashton helped me with lots of aspects of my new house.

We look forward to working with you again in the future! > > By Design Interiors, Inc. **★★★★★ — Jason B., Feb. 2018** > Ashton did a wonderful job designing our living room. She came over to the house and measured everything and them spent the time to find exactly what we were looking or in new furniture and decorations. The end result was cohesive and looked much better than had we tried to piece it together ourselves. Overall great experience and 5 years later we still receive compliments on our living room when folks come over. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Hi Jason, > > Thank you so much for the wonderful review.

We count ourselves lucky for clients like you and look forward to working with you again in the future! > > By Design Interiors, Inc. **★★★★★ — JoAnne Dennis, Oct. 2017** > Erika is amazing! She helped make our selection process easy for our custom built house. She was with us every step of the way… from selecting flooring, to lighting, to cabinet hardware. She is easy to work with, patient and listened to us. She has great sense of color, texture and space. I would highly recommend her. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you so much, JoAnne, for the wonderful review, we love you as a client too! **★★★★★ — Penberthy Custom Builders, Oct. 2017** > It is a great joy to work alongside Ayca, and the design team at By Design Interiors. Not only do we get positive feedback from our clients about her design capabilities, efficient, and effective use of their time, but we are confident that the renovation and building process will go so much smoother with her on board. Ayca is a very creative designer that communicates her visions clearly to the client and myself. We are so thankful to have her as part of our team! **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you so much for the review, we love working with you also! **★★★★★ — Bekah Harper, March 2017** > Erika and her staff with By Design Interiors, as well as all of her very qualified tradesmen made my home the most elegant and glamorous atmosphere I could have ever imagined! Erika was amazing in interpreting exactly what my inspiration was and made it so much more than I could have dreamed. I marvel daily that this home is mine, and never have a visitor that doesn't also revel in what a beautiful home I have. I couldn't be more pleased with Erika and By Design Interiors in making my home a true dream home!! **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you Bekah for the lovely review, we really enjoyed working with you! **★★★★★ — L. Spivey, Feb. 2017** > The By Design Interior staff was extremely pleasant. Their office is fun to peruse. It is filled with fabrics, beautiful tiles, stones, catalogs, color charts, & so much more. The greatest joy in their office is designer, Ayca Stiffel. > > Ayca was professional, patient, creative, and became a friend while we worked to craft the details of my home's interior. She has an impeccable eye for color and is an excellent professor when explaining why to avoid certain combinations. Because my home is a custom build project, Ayca was able to make suggestions on how to enhance the beautiful architectural design of my home while helping me choose tile, paint colors, countertops, wall finishes, etc. > > I will recommend Ayca to anyone I know seeking design assistance. For any future design work that I need, I will call Ayca. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you so much for Ayca's glowing review! We enjoy working with wonderful clients like yourself, looking forward to more opportunity in the future. **★★★★★ — Judy Schleisman, Jan. 2017** > I worked with Ayca Stiffel recently to update our home. It takes a certain eye to be able to pull a room together and make it look fabulous and functional, all at the same time. Our existing furniture needed a new updated look, she brought exciting fabrics, and new furniture, rugs and etc., to accomplish a new trendy look. Ayca used the effects of color and the correct use of my accessories to create a cozy, comfortable environment for everyday living. > Her willingness to work with you and desire to meet your deadlines is a plus when hiring an interior designer. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you Judy for taking the time to leave this wonderful review, we appreciate your business! **★★★★★ — mreupke, Jan. 2017** > Ayca at By Design has been wonderful! She helped get our bathroom remodel tiles, layout, and colors all picked to perfection. Also Ayca helped us with drapes in both the study and game room and furniture pieces in those rooms too. > We still have more decorating to do and certainly will have Ayca help. She has been fabulous to both myself and my daughter in our projects! **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you so much for taking the time and leave Ayca this glowing review. We look forward to working with you again very soon! **★★★★★ — J Ch, Jan. 2017** > Ayca helped me with many decisions for our new construction: countertops, tiles, stair rail, lighting placement, and vanity design. She worked with my preferences, offered many useful ideas, and presented final selections in an organized and timely manner. Ayca is a great designer and just a really nice person who loves what she does. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you so much for the glowing review, we look forward to working with you again! **★★★★★ — Chi Chi N., Jan. 2017** > We were looking for an interior designer/decorator to help us decorate our new house we just built. After meeting with several designers, we hired By Designs. I worked with Ayca and she did a lovely job helping us decorate our new home. She is talented, personable, communicates well and works hard to make sure her clients are satisfied. Best of all, she strives to stay within budget which is very important to us. I will definitely use them for our future designing and decorating needs and would recommend them to others. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you Chi Chi for the lovely review, we love having you as a client and look forward to working together in the future! **★★★★★ — Angell Swedlund, Jan. 2017** > We are currently in the middle of a project in which we have been working with Ayca Stiffel from By Design Interiors. She came on the job as a new designer for By Design and she has been wonderful. She has worked great with our builder and although the project isn't finished, things have ran smoothly thus far. She is extremely organized, and professional. She is also very creative and has great suggestions of how to make our custom home even more special. We look forward to finishing up the project in the future and expect nothing but the best from her. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you Angell for this glowing review, we appreciate your trust and business! **★★★★★ — chadkosina, Jan. 2017** > Ayca Stiffel was an absolute pleasure to work with on desiging my restaurant. She openly accepts client ideas, communicates in a timely manner, brings creative and innovative ideas/solutions to the table, stays within budget both from a time and monetary sense. Ayca delivered a beautiful 3D design that is cutting edge, timeless, inviting and unique. As a result, she will get a six figure design contract once we secure our location. I truly believe that her 3D design was responsible for bringing the right investors into the project and impressed a very large bank that's hard to impress. Ayca will definitely be working with our company for a long time. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you for much for taking the time out to write Ayca this wonderful review, we really appreciate you! **★★★★★ — Aaron Walton, Jan. 2017** > I am a custom Homebuilder and I am currently working with Ayca on a new home.

It has been a great collaboration. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Thank you Aaron, we look forward to working together on future projects! **★★★★★ — aziz\_rozi, Jan. 2017** > Acya worked with us as an interior designer. She helped us with many selections such as flooring, tiles, and countertops. She comes up with designs beyond your imagination and comes up with creative ideas.

From my first meeting with designer Erika Barczak I was impressed. We had emailed a few times regarding color schemes and overall design style I was wanting and she had flooring, tiles and backsplash samples already grouped together when I arrived. > > Erika's vision and designs were so in tune with mine it made the year long process of building a custom home seamless. She has a wonderful easy personality, organized and very creative. > > Much to my husband's dismay (lol) I went way over my contract hours and initial design services and asked Erika to design drapes, assist with furniture selections and more. > > We moved into our house in June and we gave Erika and her assistants, Cyndel and Cassie, free reign to accessorize. I love coming home after they have been at our house to see what was done. They have incorporated my husband's family antiques in with all of the new, it is truly beautiful! > > I will be sad when all of the 'gaps' are filled. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Rebecca, thank you so much for your glowing review! It has been so much fun working with you, combining the old and the new in fresh ways! **★★★★★ — Charles/Phyllis Miller, Nov. 2016** > Carly helped with interior and exterior selections for the custom home we are building.

We are currently working on my breakfast nook, living room, and dining room. We moved in to a new home about a year ago so Carly is helping me to buy furniture and decorate the space. Carly and I hit it off from our first conversation. She has great ideas and suggestions and is working very hard to bring everything together. I have really enjoyed working with her thus far and I plan on working with her for other projects and rooms in our home. **Comment from By Design Interiors Inc:** > Lindsay, thank you so much for your kind review, Carly has really enjoyed working with you! **★★★★★ — Vicki Seal, Nov. 2015** > I have worked with Mary Blair of By Design Interiors, Inc. time and time again. She has helped me with three of my homes throughout the years. Our last project included the purchase of new furniture, rugs, reupholster of existing pieces, and accessorizing the entire home. Mary really works wonders! I have seen her ideas transform many spaces on various budgets into fabulous & functional environments. My family and friends are always impressed with the work she has done. Before starting projects I feel overwhelmed and stressed. Mary listened to my ideas and concerns and completely removed the stress. The project became fun and exciting & I was able to fully enjoy the entire process. I strongly recommend Mary for any home project you may have. **★★★★★ — The Bath & Kitchen Showplace - Tomball, Nov. 2015** > The Bath & Kitchen Showplace - Tomball has worked with By Design Interiors for several years and a wide range of projects, from remodels to new construction, and a wide range of styles. Each of their designers is very talented and brings a very personal approach to every project. It has been our pleasure to partner with Peggy & Erika and help their clients find the perfect plumbing fixtures for their spaces. **★★★★★ — sjpaur, Sept. 2015** > Recently, I had the opportunity to utilize Mary Blair of By Design Interiors, Inc. Mary assisted with furnishings & home decor for my home in Carlton Woods of The Woodlands. Multiple friends of mine have worked with Mary time and time again throughout the years & highly recommend her. I found Mary very easy to work with throughout the different stages of the project. She provided numerous creative suggestions & solutions not only on new furniture & decor, but also on how to include & re-purpose existing pieces in my home. At the project completion my home had a fresh new look! I strongly recommend Mary to anyone remodeling, moving into a new home, and even to those who just want to freshen up their current look. Mary exceeded my expectations and I plan to include her on all of my future home projects. **★★★★★ — mschouse, Aug. 2015** > When we bought our new home, we really wanted to work with an experienced design firm with a solid reputation and By Design Interiors came highly recommended. We feel blessed to have worked with Mary Blair because she exceeded our expectations and we truly enjoyed our experience working with her. It is obvious that she loves her profession and has a passion for design. She took the time to listen and understand our style and vision. She helped us with a direction and starting point and then expanded on our ideas to create an amazing look for our home. We really appreciate how Mary offered options at different price points as well as making suggestions and recommendations. We are grateful that she respected our budget and set a low pressure environment where we felt very comfortable to give feedback. Mary is a multi-tasker and has a strong work ethic. It was apparent that she has a great working relationship with her contractors and vendors too. Mary is professional and creative and at the same time very positive and fun to work with. **★★★★★ — dleinw, Aug. 2015** > Erika Barczak at By Design Interiors worked with us from concept through completion of our custom built luxury home (2013-2015). Once she understood the look and feel we wanted in our home, she worked diligently with us to satisfy that look, and excelled in every way imaginable. There is so much stress in making all the decisions about a custom home and she made it easy for us with indoor/outdoor colors, stonework, patio pavers, roofing, indoor/outdoor furniture, wall art, flooring, rugs and carpet, cabinet design, tile design, shutters, lighting fixtures, florals, plumbing fixtures, window decorations, decorative items, cabinet hardware, etc. Pricing of furnishings through By Design was typically better than on our own, and they handled everything, quickly resolving inevitable problems with suppliers. The results were spectacular and the trust we had in By Design was well deserved. Very highly recommend By Design Interiors and Erika Barczak. **★★★★★ — paularimel, Aug. 2015** > We gutted our kitchen and two bathrooms and a powder room and had wood floors installed in the entire downstairs. In kitchen and all bathrooms, we installed new cabinets, granite counter tops, all new appliances and new bathroom tubs, toilets and fixtures. In addition, we had a new bar installed in the Family Room. Erika was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with the selection of all the product options and colors. She thought of every detail including wallpaper, tile, paint, lighting fixtures and color selections. She was extremely helpful with tile selection and design. We are very happy with the remodel and we have received many compliments. We're now having Erika help us with new window treatments and other decorative accessories. It has all turned out beautiful and we feel like we are in a new home. **★★★★★ — janetandrick46, Aug. 2015** > Erika assisted us in two areas: 1) updating our old home to help it sell and 2) handling all the interior design for our new 5,500 square foot custom build home (a 14 month build project). She was able to take our existing furniture, art, etc. and outline where we could best use it in the new home, as well as determine where we needed new furniture/ artwork. She went with us and coordinated all home selections - floors, lighting, hardware, granite, paint, window treatments, etc.. She narrowed the choices in all areas, knowing our likes/dislikes, which was a tremendous help to me, as I was still working at the time. Our old house had multiple offers in 2 weeks. Our new home is a beautiful showplace. Erika coordinated all rooms, including the outside areas, and created harmony and beauty from a variety of "styles" we had accumulated over the years. She is the only professional in our build project that stayed on budget!! She worked diligently to create beautiful spaces while always being budget conscious. She turned our vision of our new home into a reality - to include some unique areas such as a stained glass window over the tub and a private patio off the Master. She spent hours going "above and beyond" such as arranging all the books in our Library and creating a wall of family pictures. We HIGHLY recommend Erika and By Design Interiors. **★★★★★ — reglady, Aug. 2015** > I worked very closely with them on a master bathroom/bedroom and powder room remodel > Erika worked her magic and came up with a design plan that was absolutely perfect. She listened to what we had to say and she put together tile, granite, flooring, paint, wallpaper that just matched all our preconceived ideas. Very professional and very good at what she does. **★★★★★ — susancmuller, Aug. 2015** > Working with Erika from By Design Interiors was a dream. After spending only a few minutes with me, she zeroed in on my style and found tiles, granite, colors, and fixtures that I loved. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. **★★★★★ — Ron Jackson, June 2015** > I have worked with Peggy and her team on multiple projects over many years from a simple remodel to a multi million dollar home, and have always found them to be extremely creative and professional with myself and my clients. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone I designed a home for. **★★★★★ — Pam Whitlock, May 2015** > Mary is very professional and knowledgable. She has a great way to make your vision a reality and very good at incorporating what you already have. She has kept me from making several mistakes that would have been costly!

By Design Interior's high standards of integrity and professionalism make them a group I would highly recommend. **★★★★★ — Keechi Creek Builders, Oct. 2014** > As a design/build custom home & remodeling firm, we help our customers from the initial creative stages of their project through construction completion. It is important that we connect them at the very beginning with a creative team who understands their vision, style, and budget, and who can also work with us from a construction and implementation standpoint. We have partnered with By Design Interiors for several years on numerous projects ranging from bathroom and kitchen remodels to expansive custom homes. Our clients have been thrilled with the quality and service from By Design Interiors, Inc. and it is always our pleasure to partner with them. **★★★★★ — dwhitecpa, Oct. 2014** > Brenda Denny designed the renovations of our lake home. The renovations included the kitchen, dining room, living room, master bedroom and master bathroom. We love the warm, fun and contemporary look. Brenda has a unique eye for bringing in various colors and textures that work well together. She also helped us re-design the space to make it more free-flowing and open. We love the lake views from every room. Thanks Brenda and By Design Interiors! **★★★★★ — 5542paris, Aug. 2014** > My husband and I just built a custom home and used By Design Interiors to help us with our selections. I can honestly say that we could NOT have done it without them! Our designer helped us with interior and exterior choices including everything from color, tile, granite ect. She understood our style And helped us to stay focused on the look we were going for! The entire experience was so fun knowing that I had an expert/professional helping me! I highly recommend By Design to anyone who is building or renovating their home! **★★★★★ — rudyrevak, Aug. 2014** > Peggy Fuller has been a tremendous help in building our new home.

We love our neighbors and our lakefront location; thus, we wanted a new house in the same location. Peggy is not only honest but a delight to work with. She perfectly deciphered my taste and exceeded my expectations. She has a great eye for color, balance and scale. Our home is perfectly designed yet a comfortable place to live and to entertain. I love everything Peggy added to my home! **★★★★★ — vicdia, July 2014** > Helped make selctions for all areas of new home.

I am a custom home builder and remodeler and can honestly say that she is great to work with. She is very organized and responsive with her communication. She comes up with great designs and out of the box ideas to make spaces amazing. I would highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — lindaaldrich, Feb. 2014** > We were absolutely pleased with Erika Barczak's redesign of our master bathroom. We hit it off with her immediately, and she was able to visualize what would be the best options for the space AND make it beautiful, as well as turning it into a plan for the contractor. She was efficient in her use of time and yet I never felt rushed. Her sense of what materials, fixtures and colors would be best to meet our needs and our budget was always perfect. I would not change a thing, and we are completely and utterly blown away with how beautiful our bathroom is every time we step into it. > > Erin Rose, who is Erika's assistant, lent valuable assistance in this remodel. They are a great team! > > By Design Interiors is two for two with the rooms that the firm has done in our home – with their design for our kitchen several years ago and now Erika’s design of our bathroom! > > I wholeheartedly recommend Erika and By Design. **★★★★★ — tmclane, May 2013** > We did a complete remodel and addition to a 30 year old home on 10 acres. Erika was a tremendous help in finding the right pieces to fit in the new rooms. She is very professional and has a special way of working with > people. **★★★★★ — Steve Taylor, May 2013** > Mary Blair brought the home of our dreams to reality. When we moved into a new 5400 sq. ft. home, we decided to start from scratch with furnishings and décor. We knew the look and feel we wanted, but no specifics. She quickly discerned our style and tastes and created a home we love living in. > > Mary selected furniture, lighting, rugs, wall art, mirrors, florals, and accessories, and designed window treatments and custom bedding. She also brought in artisans to paint walls, a mural, and faux-finish two ceilings. At every step, she showed us options and made her recommendations, but always left the final decision to us. We never felt pressured, criticized, or rushed. > > Mary is extremely gifted in design, and is very professional in her work. She handpicks the vendors and tradesmen she uses, and we were always delighted with their products and work. She is efficient with time-management and oversees every aspect of the project to completion. Mary works tirelessly, with attention to the last detail. > > We thoroughly enjoyed working with Mary and are thrilled with the results! **★★★★★ — Nikoo McKenzie, April 2013** > Our family was relocated to Houston, TX last year. We decided to build our "dream" home and thought best to engage an interior designer to help us achieve our vision. I found BDI via Internet by complete chance and Erika Barczak was the best thing that happened to us! Our taste is fairly unconventional for Texas as in we like a more modern look instead of traditional and Erika totally got us and understood our vision. She was with us from the beginning of the house building project. She gave us extremely valuable advice at the builder's design center and that has been ongoing. Erika executed our vision to perfection. We love our home and its thanks to Erika:) **★★★★★ — shirleysinger, April 2013** > I would recommend Cindy in a heartbeat. We basically "gutted" our first floor. Cindy helped with ALL the creative design of the rebuild as well as other ideas. She had a good feel for what I liked and what the trend is and yet could persuade me to take a "risk". She made all the decisions easy by making suggested preselections yet keeping within our pricepoint. There is no way our home would be as beautiful without her (and it would have taken me days and days to make decisions on my own... probably would never have finished this project.) **★★★★ — hanebch, April 2013** > We are very pleased with the work that Mary did. We love everything but we did go over budget so we did not get as many rooms done as we would have liked. **★★★★★ — cathyiversen, April 2013** > Mary Blair, my interior decorator is awesome! Her vision and hard work have provided us with the home of our dreams. She started working with us on the construction phase of our new home and followed it through with us as we decorated and furnished it. She met her deadlines and her selections were all "top notch" quality items. When people enter our home they "oooww " and " ahhh" at everything from our exterior and interior stone work to the smaller assessory pieces. I would highly recommend Mary to anyone who is in need of a talented professional. We certainly appreciate her talent and dedication to a "job well done!" ## Selected projects - [Timeless in Tanglewood Houston, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/timeless-in-tanglewood-houston-tx-pj-vj~7674520) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 22 - Description: This cozy home is found in the lovely neighborhood of Tanglewood Houston.
