Courtney Ellen Interior Design

We have worked with Courtney now for almost a year on our complete home renovation. It all began with lights. Our 1895 New England colonial needed a major overhaul and the decisions were beginning to overwhelm me. She came over to the house to see the demo progress and chat through what we were thinking and her comments and demeanor immediately excited me. I knew this was going to be a good match. Her help didn’t stop at lighting. She has had a hand in many aspects of our process and I know I couldn’t have done it without her. I would be in serious therapy! Her assistance has saved us money because I know having gone through it that I would have made so many mistakes with size or finish etc. she also saved us time. We picked out paint colors for the whole house in less than an hour! Courtney is talented, keeps in mind your budget, seeks to understand you vision and push you just outside your comfort zone. She is also very aware of the fact that you will live in the space and wants to honor your decisions as well. We continue to use her guidance as we shift our focus to decor. And I know that as we complete our vision through the end of the year, I will continue to lean on her expertise.

I could never have imagined the beautiful living room Courtney so effortlessly delivered us with when we first started working with her on the (tricky) layout in our new home. After presenting us with numerous layouts, color palettes, furniture options and creative solutions for our “new home-buyer budget”, our living room came together in a way that makes us feel like our house is now our home. We can relax, entertain, goof around with the kids and cozy up in this space that feels like it’s been ours forever. Courtney takes the time to get to know you, your likes, your dislikes, your style and your family’s needs. She is the epitome of intuitive talent, timeless elegance, and customer service all rolled into one professional who can be trusted with every decision that goes into a project. We cannot say enough about how wonderful she is to work with (and we look forward to working together again!).

Courtney managed and designed new construction of an in-law apartment for us. We had a large space but a strict budget. She provided complete plans and drawings of 3 potential designs based on our style and then she was able to quickly modify the plan we selected due to budgetary restrictions. She made it so easy and the final product far exceeded our expectations. Courtney was able to design and deliver on all aspects including: -budget -timeline - storage space for new apt. + storage space for us since we lost our primary storage to the apt. -room layout and design for kitchen, bath, bedroom, office and family room -coordination of colors, flooring, fixtures, lighting, furnishings and accessories We would absolutely work with Courtney again and hope she will be available to do our kitchen next!

Courtney was an absolute pleasure to worth with. She is so creative and thoughtful in her designs. She immediately understood what my style was and what I wanted--I wasn't even able to explain what I wanted! Her design included some new items, but she also incorporated pieces that I wanted to keep. She is so creative and talented using accessories and color. We loved every idea she presented, and kept everything within our budget. We appreciated that she always offered us choices, but also made it easy for us as we never felt overwhelmed. I cannot wait to work with Courtney on our next project.

I absolutely loved working with Courtney. Not only her style, but her easy-going personality made everything effortless. She designed the main room in our home with the most beautiful touches, yet the room is still fully functional for our family with four small kids. Look forward to utilizing Courtney for all our future home projects. Highly recommend!

Courtney had seen my apartment only 1-2 times prior to designing both my bedroom and tv room. She had an impeccable eye and talent for colors, textures and styles that would go with the furniture, colors and elements that were already in both rooms. I am beyond thrilled with the outcome of both rooms, and can't wait to hire Courtney Ellen Design for my next project. In addition to Courtney exceeding my expectations from an interior design perspective, I truly enjoyed working with her and found her not only very professional and knowledge, but equally personable and friendly - making the overall experience that much more enjoyable and fun.
