**★★★★★ — Boyer Building Corporation, Jan. 2019**

> As a building contractor, I have appreciated our working relationship with The Sitting Room Designers  Nan and Kate for over 12 years. I even had them help me with my own home when I remodeled! They are very professional and practical when working with my clients.  I often will engage their services early in the design process, making it beneficial for the client and for Boyer Building.
> Bob Boyer
> Boyer Building Corporation

**Comment from The Sitting Room:**

> Thank you so much for your kind words. We enjoy every project we have collaborated with Boyer on, looking forward to the future of our partnership!

**★★★★★ — Heather Strommen, Sept. 2017**

> A wonderful, full service-in house design studio filled with a great mix of styles. I love being able to shop right off the beautiful studio floor and work with the talented design staff. I've used them for years!

**★★★★★ — Paul Johnson Lakes Sotheby's International Realty, May 2017**

> Have had 5 clients use The Sitting Room's designer services over the past 2 years, with projects ranging from contemporary to country style homes.  Clients have expressed to me how much they appreciated The Sitting Room's professional and honest insight as well as their continued support after the project has completed.   I highly recommend their designer services.

**★★★★★ — Jennifer McApin, April 2017**

> The team at The Sitting Room is one to hire on your next project whether that is a new home or remodeling your existing.  They are a very qualified design team with extensive experience and knowledge in the new construction and remodeling industry.  They are educated in Construction Management (which you don't see in the design community), as well as members of the Builders Association (BATC) and National Association of Remodeling Industry (NARI).

**★★★★★ — Erin Strommen, April 2017**

> I have used Kate at The Sitting Room for over a decade.  She has helped me find fabrics to recover a chair or sofa, but has also done large scale projects for me in furnishing my new home top to bottom.  She has an eye for current styles and trends, but does an amazing job in keeping the overall look timeless.  She is professional, respectful of budgets and stays on time.  I highly recommend The Sitting Room, Kate and her colleagues.

**★★★★★ — Boyer Building Corporation, Jan. 2015**

> Nan is a great interior designer with attention to detail and excellent customer service.  I recommend her again and again.

**★★★★★ — jgrieger, Jan. 2015**

> I have worked with Both Natalie and Kate at the Sitting Room and am so happy with the results. The were great work with and it really felt like a collaboration. I would highly recommend the Sitting Room.

**★★★★★ — katepacyna, Jan. 2015**

> I can't say enough about how much I love working with Natalie and The Sitting Room.  She does such a great job of taking my input, thoughts and "style" and gently weaving them together into a cohesive and gorgeous room.  I think I know what I want but the end product is what I want only so much more!  She is a great listener and very approachable which makes for a great working relationship.

**★★★★★ — calluth, Jan. 2015**

> This past year I hired Natalie from The Sitting Room to decorate my condominium in Naples, Florida. She was a pleasure to work with and the results are phenomenal. We gutted a 3 bedroom, 2 bath golf course condinium from top to bottom. Natalie had a vision from the first meeting and was able to express it clearly. She was point on in all of the choices from a space, comfort, utility, and visual perspective. She managed to stay within budget and was competitively priced. She listened to our needs and created the most incredible end product! I highly recommend her and her studio.

**★★★★★ — lakegrl, Jan. 2015**

> Kate helped decorate our new construction home and also assisted with many of the selections for finishing our new home.  We are thoroughly satisfied with our new home and all the furnishings inside!  She has impeccable taste!  She has been patient and understanding, as well as respectful of our budget.  Kate has been willing to assist, lending her eye to the most minor of details, giving us more confidence in putting together a cohesive interior design.
>
> In partnership with The Sitting Room, Elevation Homes by Streeter and Associates, as well as Union Place, the attached pictures show our main living area, featuring an open floor plan between the dining area, kitchen and living room.   Couldn't resist including the bar which Kate patiently assisted with our deliberations re: several aspects of finishing detail.

**★★★★★ — colefinn, Jan. 2015**

> The Sitting Room provides creativity, quality and inspiration to any project.  Kate is exceptional at picking out your individual style and is fun to work with.  She loves color and chooses the perfect combinations.  Walls, furniture, lights and spacing all are coordinated to make your room the perfect living space.  I just can't say enough good things about the final and unique touches The Sitting Room brings to your project and home.  Thanks for going the extra mile.

**★★★★★ — Ana Young, Jan. 2015**

> I have worked with the designers at The sitting room for over 10 years.  I truly believe that the clients the have are very lucky.  I find that all the ladies seem to be decisive and work proficiently.  The projects I have seen  put together by Kate are complete with out being over the top with to many embellishment.
