### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Kurt Knutsson, Dec. 2024**

> We were recommended to Bethany by a friend who had the good fortune to experience her talents.   We hired her and now have continued to work with her on our 3rd dream home that she has transformed from a modern house to an extraordinary home that everyone does a "wow, wow, wow!"  when walking in the front door.   Bethany has an incredible eye and is respected by the design community and every shop I brought her to during some furniture, lighting and accessory shopping.  She worked within our budget masterfully each time and we would work with her again and again.  Pure enjoyment front start to finish.

**★★★★★ — Chrissy Best, Nov. 2015**

> Bethany is brilliant...she turned our our little project into a successful home improvement. Her insight to my vague ideas was amazing. She knew exactly how to keep my small area open and spacious, making it appear so much larger, I love it. It's now my favorite room!  I will use Bethany again and highly recommend her to my friends and clients.

**★★★★★ — Jamie Samson, Oct. 2015**

> Bethany is my go-to source for design advice, inspiration and assistance. Her impeccable taste and attention to detail are the reasons to start working with her. The reasons to continue are her proven reliability and flexible manner. She works within your established budget and guides you firmly but without overriding your own sensibilities. Most recently, she helped me to design a delightful outdoor living space which works perfectly with the flow of my property and mirrors the in-door decor as well. I could not recommend her more highly.

**Comment from Bethany Colman Design Associates:**

> I am so excited to work with you on your new Living and Dining Room furnishings.  You are such a pleasure to work with.

**★★★★★ — Katya Grozovskaya Photography, Oct. 2015**

**★★★★★ — Jacoby Company, Inc., Feb. 2015**

> Bethany Colman is a very dedicated, passionate and talented designer that we have loved working with. She is very thorough in her designs and as someone who works with her professionally designing her custom window treatments, its important that a designer be highly detail oriented. She is just that. She pays close attention to the little details that could be overlooked but faces them head on. We really appreciate our time working with Bethany and would highly recommend her design services.

**★★★★★ — smokeydog1, Sept. 2014**

> Bethany Colman is remarkably creative with impeccable taste.  She was immediately able to adopt our aesthetic and assisted us in making really great decisions for our home.  She helped refine our plans and optimize the use of space, is very knowledgeable about the market, quick with her suggestions, and responsive to our feedback.  The project consisted of interior design, space planning and furnishings throughout our home.  We loved working with her because she is organized, realistic, and one of the kindest and most patient professional we have ever worked with.  Bethany really listened to our needs and worked hard to find options that were both beautiful and functional, no detail was overlooked.   The use of specialized vendors and artisans provided through Bethany created many custom pieces that made our home truly special.  We felt it was an incredible value to utilize her services and will definitely use her again.  Bethany is a rare find!

## Community Q&A

**Q: Kitchen backsplash ideas** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Need to get ideas for kitchen backsplash with my maple floor and cabinets I have all black appliances. Would like to change the paint color too. I'm not as looking into getting black Quartz countertop.

A: I would lighten with a monochromatic stone.

**Q: Once I remove this Christmas wreath, I have a blank wall.** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I need a decor idea for this blank vaulted wall once I remove this wreath.

A: I forgot to add a photo

**Q: Feb '15: Starting Our Living Room Remodel!** *(in Design Dilemma)*

We moved into our "forever" home in South Florida about 9 months ago. Love the space, love the area. We are in love with the house, but every thing needs to be redone. We are enjoying the process and taking our time, doing a lot of the work ourselves. So far, we have finished our kids' bedroom, and we're almost done with our closet, and we have just begun this living room.
This is the room you see when you enter the house from the front door, which is the door everybody uses. We decided we want it to feel like it's almost a continuation of our outdoor patio and pool area - very inviting for people to come in and out here and enjoy both spaces. SO, we decided on patio furniture! We just got the sectional, coffee table, rug, and also the teal cabinet, which will soon hold all of our liquor. Also just bought the silver lanterns.
We're not planning on changing the tile, maybe ever, so we're learning to love it. Although we may redo the "baseboards" some day. Our current plan of attack: repair ceiling and walls (nothing major, but a lot of minor damage); paint ceiling flat white; new moulding for slider door and upper window in eggshell white; remove track lighting under catwalk; replace ceiling fan with tall chandelier, possibly capiz shell; add wall-mounted fans to catwalk wall; wispy white curtains for slider; paint walls maybe light beige/cream/gray.
A lot of what's in the photos are placeholders. We're thinking a cool chair in place of the patio chair; maybe new stools where the current barstools are next to the cabinet; tall tropical plants where the two fake plants are on either side of the slider, a narrow little end table where the TV stand is, and another small end table between the new chair and sectional. Some accent pillows for the sectional, something cool for the coffee table/end tables. The only part of the wall decor I do like is having some sort of mirror on that wall to reflect the outdoor view. We are considering having a local artist (Barbara Weingardt http://www.robbies.com/barbara-weingardt.htm) create a large painting for the other wall, above the cabinet. And above the slider, probably a larger clock.
In general, we are very laid back people, and function is more important to us than style. We know nothing about decorating. But I sure do love perusing the photos here and getting ideas! So I thought it would be fun to document our remodel here, and perhaps get some advice in the process.

A: I forgot to add a photo

**Q: My dining room need some help , please!** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I love yellow carpet for my dining room .Somehow i dont know what to put more or colour for this .. please help!

A: I would add texture and change the mirror to something larger.  The chair could be changed to something larger.

**Q: Need help with family rooom** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I forgot to add a photo of my family room here is

A: I forgot to add a photo

**Q: paint color for a dark dining room** *(in Design Dilemma)*

we have moved into a new (old) home. Our dining room is dark. It is painted white but I want some color and don't want it to look darker than it is. Any suggestions? We already have yellows in the kitchen and living area, so I want something to offset it. We have area rugs with reds, black, green and beige in them. I was thinking of a light sage green. Any suggestions? Note: the rugs in photo are gone. We have replaced them.

A: I would paint the dark wainscoting white and add a lighter contrasting color above.  Also, you might consider a light area rug to lighten up the room
