**★★★★★ — HU-995070153, Feb. 2024**

> We met Lynne Tollas at the Quiet Moose after we bought a place in Harbor Springs, MI. She not only has been careful and thoughtful about selecting pieces as if it were her own, she has gone above and beyond with deliveries, receiving and placing the beautiful furniture. Kind person, who is talented and we highly recommend connecting with her!!

**★★★★★ — Heather Ryan, July 2017**

> Whether you are looking to find a few accent pieces to add to a cozy cabin, refurnishing an entire lake home, or searching for beautiful décor to make a statement - The Quiet Moose is the place to go. For me - trying to figure out how to visualize & make use of furniture in a room with an awkward floorplan has never been my forte. The living room in my new home has a staircase running up one wall, a pillar splitting the room on an opposite wall & is generally quite long and narrow. Figuring out how to furnish this room in particular, had been driving me crazy.. Quickly, my mind was at ease after speaking with Sheryl at The Quiet Moose. She not only helped me find the best pieces that worked perfectly with the quaint & charming vibe of my home. She also showed me multiple ways I could finish the awkward room making it work both beautifully & functionally! I was sooo impressed by her creativity & the way she was able to execute ideas and give me multiple design options to chose from. Thanks to Sheryl, I was finally able to get this room finished & could not be happier with the outcome!! I will definitely be back to work with The Quiet Moose again on my next design adventure!

**Comment from The Quiet Moose:**

> Hi Heather! Thank you for taking the time to write this thoughtful review. It is so gratifying to hear that your experience was positive.

**★★★★★ — Kate Ryan, July 2017**

> Sheryl is an incredible interior designer with TQM! From decorating smaller 1,000 square foot living spaces in NYC, to much larger homes throughout the state of Michigan, condos and townhouse in Chicago, and 10,000++ sq ft. properties in Aspen and Palm Beach, Florida, she knows how to turn any space into a personal, and luxurious, yet comfortable place to live. Highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — User, Oct. 2016**

> The Quiet Moose design team is a joy to work with! They have gone above and beyond in helping us put together an amazing living space for our family. I am especially impressed by their creativity, passion around the details, and overall outstanding customer service. They have helped us with light fixtures, paint colors, home furnishings, area rugs and accessories in several rooms throughout our home. Their honesty, professionalism and knowledge has been impressive. Their patience has made the overwhelming decorating process exciting and fun. We are beyond thrilled with the finished product! Our home is elegant, comfortable and very functional. We highly recommend The Quiet Moose for any job, large or small. They are a great group of girls and are very talented at what they do!!!

**Comment from The Quiet Moose:**

> Thank you so much for taking the time to write this beautiful and insightful review, Debbie! I know it was a very fun project for our design team, and it sounds like you got to use the best of their amazing skills! I can't wait to share your message with the team!

**★★★★★ — Linda Walsh, Oct. 2016**

> This store is the epitome of elegance. The staff is excellent and Marsha, the designer I worked with, guided me to excellent selections that transformed a small condo into a lovely home.

**Comment from The Quiet Moose:**

> Linda, I'm so glad your experience with Marcia was rewarding and that our design team met your expectations. It's nice to know that whoever you deal with at The Quiet Moose, your personal experience will surpass every expectation. I can't wait to share this with Marsha!

**★★★★★ — HU-440998, Sept. 2016**

> I had the pleasure of working with Jen while building our modern home.  She did an excellent job at helping our vision come true.  She made selections easy on everything from window treatments, to floor coverings, to furniture selection and lighting... In addition Jen has helped with multiple commercial property renovations.  QM is like our own mini design center right in Northern Michigan!

**Comment from The Quiet Moose:**

> Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our team! Jennifer is an amazing designer, and I am thrilled that you have been able to continue working with her through the years!

**★★★★★ — looby23, Feb. 2016**

> The Quiet Moose is a wonderful store full of items that you need as well as things you must have .  Jennifer has found me a 100 inch hutch/ buffet (that was a hard to find )for all my stuff.  Order fabric so I could make a pillow to match the clearance chair I had bought from her as well as having lamps for a guest bedroom that no one else has.  Go there

**Comment from The Quiet Moose:**

> Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review. We're thrilled to know that your experience at our store was so rewarding!

**★★★★★ — Bonnie Sapielak, Jan. 2016**

> A great store, whether you are shopping for furniture, or for just the right special accessory to make a room complete. It's always fun to stop in and see what new items they have added and pick up some design ideas. The staff at the store is always very helpful without being intrusive. They worked with me to custom order an island for my kitchen so I could get one that was the perfect size with great storage, but having that "vintage" feel. It also has gardens out back with beautiful views of Lake Michigan - a must see when you are in the area!

**Comment from The Quiet Moose:**

> I'm so glad your experience at The Quiet Moose was rewarding and that our design team met your expectations. That's everything we aim for!

**★★★★★ — Walden Decorating, Aug. 2015**

> I Love working with the staff at The Quiet Moose. I ordered some beautiful grasscloth wallcovings this summer, they seem to have an endless collection of natural wallcoverings to choose from.

**Comment from The Quiet Moose:**

> Thank you so much for your gracious and kind words. It means so much to be appreciated by a fellow pro!

**★★★★★ — Sheryl Ryan, Aug. 2015**

> I worked with Jennifer at Quiet Moose to complete a renovation on my lake house. She is creative, thorough and designed a beautiful plan for our home. We highly recommend Jennifer for her design expertise and are so grateful Quiet Moose is in this area. Jennifer made our home beautiful and we appreciate her efforts each time we enter our home. It's spectacular.

**Comment from The Quiet Moose:**

> What a fantastic review! Jennifer is flat out wonderful and it's fantastic to see her get acknowledged for her skills. I know she loved working with you every step of the way!

## Community Q&A

**Q: I am interested in the boat picture and also the sea gull picture.** *(in Photo Questions)*

Please send me any information you can on the boat picture and the sea gull picture.  BTW, I have visited your store many times and bought furniture from you when you were at your location prior to Petoskey.  Love your store!

A: Some of our favorite artwork!  We have these pieces in stock.  Please stop in or give us a call for more info -231-348-5353.  Thank you!

**Q: Barstools** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where can I find these barstools- very nice

A: Thanks for asking! These custom Woodbridge Furniture bar stools are available through The Quiet Moose. If you would like more information and pricing, please feel free to contact us directly at info@quietmoose.com.

All the best,

The Quiet Moose

**Q: Amazing Unique Addition Before/After** *(in Before & After)*

Most of the before/after pics on here are for different rooms in a house. I wanted to show you a different kind of before and after to give you more great ideas to inspire a remodel or addition to your house! What do you think of this awesome garage we added?

A: This is awesome! I love the garage doors and driveway. Great work CRC Builders!

**Q: Front Landscape Transformation in Old Town Alexandria, VA** *(in Before & After)*

Site:  the front landscape of a townhouse in Old Town Alexandria, VA which featured an ivy covered slope, overgrown species, stairs and a porch that were in decline.
Issues:  Add form to the landscape and make it more functional.
Design:  The design called for the removal of the ivy, installation of stacked stone retaining walls to hold the slope, the form of which was repeated on step and porch risers.  The steps and porch were both renovated; and a terrace was created behind the upper retaining wall. Shrubs, perennials and grasses were added.After photo of the completed project.
Before photo

A: I love seeing the transformation! It looks so welcoming and inviting now. Congrats on a job well done!

**Q: Driveway Transformation** *(in Before & After)*

It is crazy how much of a difference your driveway makes to the curb appeal of your home.  We replaced this old, cracked driveway with new pavers, and it makes the world of a difference!  Let us know what you think.

A: The new pavers were much needed for the curb appeal and it looks very welcoming now.

**Q: Chic Basement Lounge** *(in Before & After)*

This basement was stuck in the 90’s and the homeowners were ready for a more custom basement  they could use for entertaining family and friends.

Reason to Remodel:  Even though the basement was large and open, the space appeared sectioned off, causing awkward and underutilized areas throughout.  The homeowners were ready for a space to enjoy that fit their style.

Design Approach:
The goal was to achieve an engaging room to enjoy with family and friends that fit the homeowner's’ style.

The updated space consists of new, dark cabinetry with open shelving and glass cabinet doors.  These are perfect for displaying bottles and glasses.  The existing structural beam was encased with rich, dark wood that matched the cabinetry and adds an architectural feature to the space.  Two TV’s were installed on the back wall, creating the perfect spot for game day!

A: &quot;Cheers&quot; to a job well done! I love the bar area!
