Working with Chelsea has been absolutely delightful! Her passion and enthusiasm come shining through in everything she touches.
We met well in advance and worked together through the construction process. She was an integral part of the process. She has the ability to envision the spaces when they do not yet exist! She works with styles, colors and textures to create stunning spaces throughout the home. Some of our spaces are defined yet flow right in to another area seamlessly. Pieces were selected that could be somewhat versatile for our space. Her resources seem to be endless.
Our project was new construction, but I have no doubt she could step into an existing home and the result would be every bit as beautiful.
I must include that she was a gem to work with for both my husband and me (and we have quite different styles).

Chelsea flat out rocks! She has the ability to know what I will love when I don't even know what I like. Time tested again and again, Chelsea would suggest something, and I would look at it quizzically but agree to try it. Then she would bring it over and I'd instantly love it or at least would love it after a day. Of course, most of the time she was so spot on that I was enamored and amazed that she could select the right item, placing, color, arrangement...you name it. And the woman can find amazing deals on items in ordinary places I would not even have looked. We admittedly went higher end than we ever have, but we are so thrilled that we did.
Okay, and then there is the sheer joy of working with Chelsea. She makes an otherwise tortious process into something fun and exciting--and I hate to shop, even for my own house.
Bottom line--if you want to be blown away by the finished product and enjoy the journey along the way, choose Chelsea (aka The Grey Door Design & Build)!

If there's such a thing as a dream team for home design and construction, The Grey Door Design & Build is that team. We recently contracted both Chris and Chelsea for complete renovation of the first floor of our home.
After three months, here's what we love about The Grey Door:
• Communication. We were always up to date on the status of the project, including when Chelsea and Chris, or other subcontractors, planned to arrive and when they left.
• Flexible and patient. Our project ran into a number of snags outside of their control, prolonging the renovation. Despite having other client projects on their plate, we never felt as though they were trying to rush through us to move on. Chris methodically tackled each challenge with patience and perseverance, keeping us posted the entire time.
• Stewardship. Chris and Chelsea treated our project as if it were their own home. The worksite was left clean each day and they worked carefully around our belongings. In her design, Chelsea seamlessly mixes high-end finishes with budget-friendly pieces to maximize her spend.
• Talent. Chris is a perfectionist in his work and a true craftsman. He never cuts corners, striving for the best result possible. Chelsea has an eye for every detail and happily takes feedback, adjusting as she goes. More often than not, her design proposals were spot-on – as if she knew exactly our style from speaking to us, even if we didn’t have a clue what it was.
We couldn’t be more pleased with the results and will continue to work with them over the coming months and year for additional phases to our home.

I have worked with Chris and Chelsea many times over the years. I am a REALTOR and personally hired Chris to do build a wine cellar in our basement. It was a dead pocket section under a staircase. He had to frame out the area, lay tile, put in some pre-wire for electrical, drywall, paint etc. It turned out awesome. Additionally, I have recommended them to clients for both repairs and staging.
As an agent, I had a client with a punch list of repairs both listing the home and after getting under contract. The client was super happy with his work just as I was.
I had another prior client that wanted to sell his home for max return and Chris brought in a team to do a pretty thorough "light remodel" on surfaces and repairs. He came in right on budget and managed the process extremely well. His work helped make the client the greatest return on his sale.
Chelseas staging is amazing and she staged while Chris prepared a Sammamish home that I listed. It was a smaller home and it sold for much higher $/sq ft than any others in the neighborhood. Based on the feedback I received from buyers and agents that went through - her staging really made the most of the home and made it super cute and functional. We sold for much higher than we would have without that work.

I hired The Grey Door to install a Trex deck on my house. Chris spent all the time needed to make sure that the deck looked and felt like perfection. Chris was able to identify obstacles and plan ahead to accomplish the project early and under budget. The Grey Door was always Prompt, returned my calls timely and treated us with the upmost respect! If I ever have another project, The Grey Door will be my first call! Thank you Chris and Chelsea!

Working with Chelsea on our interior project was a complete joy from start to finish. She instinctively knew what questions to ask and skillfully used our answers to articulate a brilliant and beautiful design plan – something we could not have done on our own. We were so thankful for the valuable guidance she provided on how to maximize our budget and appreciated her sensitivity to staying within budget parameters. She is a rare talent whose attention to detail carried through from the design choices (furniture, fabrics, bedding, paint, artwork & accessories), accurate measurements, and timely/thorough invoicing. She is also receptive and flexible when it comes to her recommendations – if we weren’t initially “in love” with something, she was more than willing to bring us alternate options. She does all this with such a positive, hard-working work ethic. We could not be more pleased with the end result and would recommend her to anyone.

I am a sales professional with The Dixon Group, a showroom at the Seattle Design Center and have been working with Chelsea for over 10 years.
I find Chelsea to be professional with a great design knowledge, attention to detail and ability to follow through. I am always impressed with the end result of her design projects, beautiful work!

We found The Grey Door Design & Build through a recommendation and it was a wonderful connection right from the start!
Chelsea came to our project - which required furnishing 3300 square feet on a main floor - with ideas and energy for every room. We had an aggressive timeline and busy schedules - but she met with us regularly and listened to all our suggestions and requests and delivered a beautifully decorated home in a span of 5-8 months. For specifics, Chelsea advised on, helped select and choose design elements for furniture in our master bedroom, great room, dining room, kitchen, powder room and outdoor patio. Her attention to detail and customer service is exceptional. It’s been a real pleasure designing our home with Chelsea, we love the look she helped pull together, and we will not hesitate to work with her going forward.

My wife and I recently moved into a new home and needed help redecorating and furnishing the place. Neither of us have any talent for such things and we feel very fortunate to have found Chelsea at The Grey Door Design. She did a terrific job helping us pick everything from furniture, to paint and wall paper to outdoor living items for the whole house. Chelsea is a very talented, organized and helpful designer that we would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone in need of a designer.

I would highly recommend Chelsea. Chelsea worked with us to remodel our living room. We were changing from a more formal style to a room with a more casual feel. We got new paint, carpet and furniture. Replaced a granite fireplace with stacked stone and added a TV, and changed the color of our hardwood floors. Chelsea was awesome to work with. She listened to us to help understand our style preferences and presented us with options that worked with our style and budget. She was open to look at furniture at a variety of price points and provided us with great referrals to help with different aspects of the project. She is so easy to work with, very responsive and helped us create a space that we absolutely love (and now use).

Chelsea at The Grey Door Design & Build is consistently such a pleasure to work with and has an incredible eye for design. She has helped me with various projects from furnishing a home to design choices and decor, and every time she exceeds my expectations. I know I can always rely on her to go above and beyond for any project that I have. Not to mention she is a delight to work with and is timely with her work, which is very important in my business. I highly recommend The Grey Door Design and Build!

My husband and I hired Chelsea to design the interior spaces and recommend furnishings for the entire interior of our new home. The home is a different style and feel than we had ever lived in before. We have two college-aged kids, and we wanted a grown-up space that was warm and inviting for our guests, but still felt like home to our two kids during their regular visits. Chelsea nailed it in every way. There were many things we enjoyed about working with her, but the top five are:
1. She listened to us, took our feedback and incorporated it into her recommendations without any ego or preconceived ideas of what she wanted.
2. She was organized, prompt, efficient, effective and communicative - for months, we emailed on multiple topics each day. She was NEVER an obstacle - she kept us on our target completion date and kept the project moving. Our project lasted about six months.
3. She established a comprehensive budget at the outset, which we ultimately exceeded just slightly, BUT we did so knowingly and she called out the choices we made as those that were "investments" vs. "good values." We have a combination of both in our new space.
4. She created space for each of our college kids that they LOVE. This was so important to us - they have new and sophisticated grown-up spaces with touches of important mementos from their childhoods thrown in.
5. We are SO COMFORTABLE here. Chelsea always emphasized our new home is a living, functional space first and not a shrine. Her knowledge about products, finishes, fabrics, and combinations of all of those is so comprehensive. She recommended a lovely combination of objects and the result is an amazing space in which we enjoy spending time with our friends and family.
I would hire Chelsea again without hesitation and have already recommended her to several close friends. I think anyone that can hire her is lucky to have her!
