My clients rave about 2 Points expertise and service. It is a pleasure to have 2Point as a referral source for my clients! **★★★★★ — Nolan Lee, Dec. 2018** > Highly professional team with international clientele. They have an excellent eye for design.

They're knowledgeable, creative and value my input and vision. I'd recommend them especially to people who want to think green as they build or redesign their space. **★★★★★ — LOC VO, Dec. 2018** > My wife and I met with several general contractors and designers to get an idea of the cost to redo our kitchen and much needed repair to our addition room. We were very pleased with Lisa at 2 Point Perspective. The difference with her and her company is that they had great ideas, design, and detail that the other companies did seem to have. We did not realize how much it cost to redo our project so we are holding back until summer/fall of 2019 but will be calling Lisa back. We highly recommend Lisa and 2 Point Perspective. **★★★★★ — Danielle Pearlman, Dec. 2018** > This firm is wonderful.

Thanks. A: Hi dianehoss, thanks for your question! The paint color is Jamaican Aqua by Benjamin Moore. **Q: Did you use a stencil for the accent wall? If so, from where?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi there, thanks for your question! We're very sorry for the late reply-- we actually bought the decals from a company called Dezign With a Z. We ordered them as separate dots and created the design ourselves! **Q: Where did you get the orange and white lanterns** *(in Photo Questions)* I like them they are good for hanging on the ceiling A: We purchased the lanterns from the Paper Lantern Store (http://www.paperlanternstore.com/). They are a great pop of color at an affordable price. **Q: Orange shelves** *(in Photo Questions)* Are those orange shelves/cubbies custom-made or purchased from somewhere? They are amazing! A: I'm so sorry for the delay- these were actually vertical CD shelves. When we moved to MP3s, we decided to cut the feet off and have them painted orange. (We love to re-purpose things when we can.) I'm so glad you like them- they are very useful! **Q: Windows** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me what brand of windows are used on this project? Details are helpful. A: Hi Amy: We specified Marvin windows for this home, and were quite happy with the quality. Happy designing... and sorry for the delayed response. : ) lisa elkins - 2 Point Perspective **Q: Kids rooms** *(in Photo Questions)* Where can I buy a bed like this? Kirsten A: We're really glad you like the Murphy Bed we designed! We couldn't find anything for sale that we liked, so created this custom piece, then had it built by Demeter Woodworking. They did a nice job, and they still have the drawings. Tell them that Lisa from 2 Point said she is happy to share them! (hans@demetermillwork.com) You can choose any color you like for the accent pieces- just give them the number from the paint chip. But, keep in mind... if you don't live somewhere near Chicago, delivery might be a little pricey. Good luck! -lisa --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-21.*
