Hazel Tree Interiors

We have just finished a complete renovation of our 1950’s ranch. There were so many choices from door handles to counter tops, tile and paint colors. We became overwhelmed! Hazel Tree Interiors came to our rescue. Karen Starr and her associate, Chelsea were so easy to work with. The contract was for a flat design fee which included unlimited consultations and 4 shopping trips to local showrooms. Karen ran over many times for last minute lighting and paint decisions. Her purchase suggestions were always within our budget guidelines. We are so happy with the results.

We hired Hazel Tree to redo our living and bathroom areas - - and a host of other little things that needed tending along the way. I would highly recommend Hazel Tree - you'll get personalized design services with a unique twist and access to one-of-a-kind furnishings and art. And, they are fun to work with!

We highly recommend Karen Starr, owner of Hazel Tree Interiors! We hired her for a large remodel project - kitchen, bathroom, laundry room. Karen is a pleasure to work with and is extremely knowledgeable in her field. She often presented several options as we selected flooring, paint, countertop materials, light fixtures, etc. and wanted to make sure we would understand how things would all coordinate together. She always had the big picture in mind regarding the layout and design of our spaces but would spend a great deal of time on the little things as well to make sure the end result would be amazing. Karen is professional and committed to her clients. She wanted to hear our thoughts and ideas as well and would help us make smart choices that would fit with our budget. She would often text, call, and email us and our contractor to keep everyone updated and on the same page. The project came out so fantastic that we have hired her to do more decorating and design work with a few new projects in our home. She has impeccable taste, many resources at her fingertips, and is simply a joy to work with!

We have been working with Karen Starr and the crew at Hazel Tree Interiors on various design projects. We would highly recommend them for all your design needs! Karen is very professional and has a great eye for design; while keeping it green and local.

We greatly appreciated the help that Karen Starr provided in our master bath remodel. We had tons of ideas for the design, but needed her help to refine the scope and focus on the look that we wanted. She has a great sense of color and style, and we are thrilled with the result. She has a very strong network of local contractors and suppliers, and was involved in nearly every step as we selected fixtures and laid out the schedule with the tradesmen. As a bonus, Hazel Tree also makes custom frames, and her husband John helped us repurpose a large wall mirror into 2 new ones to match the new look. We're very happy with the result, and would strongly recommend Hazel Tree Interiors!

We have worked with Karen for the past two years decorating our new home, and we love the results! She has made great color, style, and placement suggestions for paint, carpet, tile, wallpaper, lighting, furniture, window shades, and art work. We have also been very happy with her recommendations for contractors and local artists....she has great connections. Karen has helped create several custom pieces, which are unbelievable and have received many compliments. Karen has always been prompt, courteous, and professional, with good communication skills and good follow-through. We have really enjoyed working with her and look forward to future projects.

I have worked with Karen and Hazeltree Interiors since 2011 when I started redoing the interior of my office. She is always able to make great suggestions and she designed a work space within my small confines to maximize space and productivity as well as the flow around the office. She was also able to rearrange existing furnishings for better esthetics and work flow. I have always found her to be prompt and courteous, and willing to work within the confines of my budget and time constraints. I also have enjoyed working with the contactors she recommends, and found all but one to be upstanding businesses. (she no longer works with that one.) I also appreciate that she coordinates the work between the different teams. I recommend Karen to anyone looking to update their home or office.

After building a new house, I moved in quickly, thus needing much assistance from an expert to assist with decorating. I met Karen via a mutual friend and utilized Karen's creative expertise in the following ways: . To rearrange existing furniture, wall hangings, lamps, etc. throughout the house.. . Since it was my choice to rid dated household furnishings, Karen introduced several options to me from which I could choose. She honored and respected my ideas, thoughts and especially my budgetary guidelines every step of the way. During this entire process, Karen was very prompt and responsive to my questions. When engaging in any transaction, Karen clearly communicated all costs, etc. both verbally and in writing (emails, phone calls, proposals, invoices, and face to face). As a client, it was my responsibility to read the information (ordering, shipment, costs, etc. documents) presented to me. Karen coordinated all the service tasks to meet my schedule and very was responsive.

After purchasing a home that was 50% complete we had to make many decisions in a short amount of time. Karen Starr at Hazel Tree was invaluable in this process. As a consultant, Karen was available to provide her expertise in making choices about counters, tile and paint color selections. Karen was clear about her fees and I would recommend her services as a consultant on any project.

We hired Karen and Hazel Tree to have several pieces of living room furniture reupholstered. The result: exceeded our expectations! From the initial time that I sent her photos and general measurements, until final delivery, Karen provided an accurate estimate, worked within our budget and provided suggestions, insight and recommendations all throughout the process. She took the time on several occasions to provide sample fabrics in various price ranges and also special-ordered some samples so that we could get exactly what we wanted. Her upholstery vendor handled the pickup and redelivery of the pieces seamlessly. When we are ready to tackle our next project, Hazel Tree will be getting a phone call.

We worked with Hazel Tree to set up our new corporate offices. We started completely from scratch and had a large space to fill. Karen and Jon were very accommodating and helped us find the perfect pieces for the space - from window treatments to rugs and everything in between. Karen also commissioned a reclaimed wood custom conference table which receives rave reviews from visitors and is the centerpiece of our offices. . We are moving into a larger space in a few months and we already have Karen working with us to design the new space.

My husband and I have been working with Karen Starr of Hazel Tree Interiors for close to a year now. She is carefully and skillfully helping us redecorate all the rooms and spaces in the first floor of our home. So far, she has helped us with a complete kitchen redecoration. I can hardly express how utterly wonderful our experience working with Karen has been. She has helped us to make every design decision with ease and confidence, all within our budget. We LOVE the results in our kitchen. Karen is thorough, insightful, exceedingly organized, punctual, and personable. Her design fee was extremely reasonable—what she has done for us is significantly MORE than worth it. She ushered us through every decision, from granite countertops to the final paint selections, and everything in between. Her help included taking us to various locations to select granite slabs, tile, glass art, and hardware. In short, she exceeded our expectations. Not only that, when there was a question about the paint finish on some of our cabinetry the day it was delivered, she, and the paint crew leader, were at our home within 30 minutes to answer our questions and resolve the issue. In fact, she does not rest until every detail meets our expectations. I have recommended her to anyone who will listen—and many have—hiring her for design services! In each case, the clients have been more than pleased with her design advice, on projects both large and small.
