**★★★★★ — HU-948564338, April 2025**

> I had the pleasure of working with Brian choosing colors and fixtures for my new penthouse in West Town.  His initial consultation brought up things I never even thought about.  He helped me step out of my comfort zone and choose bold colors that look amazing.
> His suggestion on fixtures went perfectly with the colors and gave my new place a true home feel.  He suggested a new paint from LA, tonestar, that is just brilliant.  He knew the owner and I was able to speak with him about multiple questions I had in terms of color depth and lighting.
> He also suggested a fantastic painting team that protected my art and electronics while completing the job in a quick amount of time.
> Overall I can’t recommend Brian enough, his knowledge, vision and ideas were outstanding and I look forward to working with on other areas of my home.

**★★★★★ — B. Elise Shell, Dec. 2022**

> I can't say enough great things about my experience working with Brian!!! I bought a Logan square 3-flat a year ago to live in one of the units, with the intention of duplicating the kitchen and bath design choices in the other 2. Buying a building from 1905, that had previously been a bare bones investment property, I knew I had my work cut out for me updating the design to blend modern with it's historical beauty. Brian brought my vision to LIFE! He was thoughtful in both the look and function of the space. Most notably, he helped me take the most tragic kitchen ever to a beautiful space to cook and entertain. Thoughtful of my budget, he couldn't have selected more perfect pieces to finish the furniture and interior design blending everything together. As a real estate professional, Brian is my go-to contact for clients looking to transform their home into a personalized beautiful space.

**Comment from Design & Manage:**

> Elise! You are too kind. Thank you so much, your kind words are felt and I truly enjoy designing interiors with you. You have a great eye! Here’s to more home interior design projects throughout 2023~
>
> Thank you,
> Brian

**★★★★★ — Sebastian Wolski, June 2019**

> As a real estate broker, Brian is my go to when it comes to helping my clients fulfill their design dreams. He listens to what the clients wants and needs are, puts his spin on it and everyone loves it. He helps source materials and finishes as he's put together a Rolodex or amazing vendors that help him out. Thanks Brian for always being available for our clients!

**★★★★★ — Shaunna Patterson, March 2018**

> Design & Manage is amazing to work with! Brian is open about his process from the begining to the end making the entire process seamless.
>
> When staging custom spec homes Brian is my go to designer. He knows what style of decor the home needs and what style works in that given area. His artistic eye for Mid Century modern mixed with his bold Chicago roots blended with a laid back West Coast style makes every project a unique and eclectic marriage of no other.

**★★★★★ — Mike P, Feb. 2018**

> I recently began working with Brian of Design and Management. So far the experience has been exceptional. Brian is very responsive and always takes the time to discuss the upcoming renovations plans with me. His suggestions and attention to detail has been very refreshing. I’m looking forward to the end results and will post before and after pictures once we complete the job.

**★★★★★ — luckyjess917, Sept. 2017**

> I purchased a beautiful mid century modern home 12 months ago in the Naples area of Long Beach. We wanted to sit in the house and get to know it before we pulled the trigger on any design decisions. It was very important to find a firm that was creative but also respectful to the design and original intention of the home builders back in 1961. With Brian and his team we found that. The whole experience had been FUN, creative and inspired. Brian brought options for tile and flooring I had never seen anywhere else and really took time to understand what we were looking for. I will post after pics when I get them. Can't recommend this team enough!

**★★★★★ — Shannon Christenot, April 2017**

> Brian has been my go to for several of my home design projects. He always adds that extra bit of personality to each and every one of my spaces and it has completely set them apart from all the other spaces you see in current editorials. He's got a great eye!!

**★★★★★ — Brooke Rybacki, Dec. 2016**

> Creative as you can get them! My husband and I recently moved into an 1930s small home, and really wanted to make it ours. Brian has been nothing but amazing and helpful. He doesn't just tell you what HE likes and thinks you should do,  he listens to what you like and your own style and ideas and helps them become a reality, and really goes above and beyond. So happy to have him helping us!

## Community Q&A

**Q: I have been looking for this table!  Where is it from!?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hi Connie,

The table is custom originally the base was from a store in SOCO called Organic Modernism.  I'm not sure that they are in business anymore but have since moved. I know one of the owners who built the table perhaps I can have one made for you. The glass is a custom size that the original table doesn't come with. It came with a much smaller piece of glass originally.  The glass I used in the project shown is half-inch thick and both the base and glass were purchased separately.

Let me know what you think, do you have a budget in mind and how soon do you need the table?

Best,

Brian Weathers
