Deciding to remodel our 5,000 sqft house located in the middle of the woods was courageous to say the least. Finding Mary Culbertson and Sue Haggblom of Centered Interiors was a pure stroke of luck. They changed our home and touched our lives in ways no words can accurately describe. The project included several large steps:
1. Turning a cluttered basement into an eclectic, contemporary, vibrantly colored living and entertainment area, with sleeping sofas and swivel chairs, a huge flat screen TV, inviting soft lights, a new shower reminiscent of a Caribbean beach, a new built in cabinet, a remodeled bar, and breathtaking accents
2. Whole remodeling of the master bathroom
3. Complete transformation of the kitchen, from a cluttered dysfunctional space to a blissful "Kitchen of the week" winner for Houzz magazine.
Mary and Sue designed and planned with accuracy, talent, and passion; they worked tirelessly and effectively with contractors and made the impossible happen when it came to deadlines; they resolved inherent conflicts with diplomacy; they took inspiration from the existing accents in our home, from my scarves, my purses, my fabrics, my jewelry, my stories...They employed the best available resources, from local artists to renowned family own business, and they took nothing but perfection for the final product. Indeed, it took some change of plans, and sending items back for minute details we wouldn't even have noticed. Their expertise on the state of the art in everything from construction materials to appliances and furniture stores was second to none. They managed to ALWAYS be here for every single step needing attention (daily at times), yet they were never in the way. They patiently waited for me to become available on the phone, or wake up late after a busy night on service. They kept things going when we were working abroad, and did not allow for our absence to delay the project. They made use of the slow times by helping out with house cleaning, constantly dusting, organizing, mopping the floors, sweeping the deck, brushing our dogs. They always brought a smile, creative ideas, and encouragement. When we were working from home, we would be sharing stories about our lives, finding common interests and passions, and before we knew, these talented professionals became two of the best friends we ever made. Until they quietly left our lives, leaving their stunning foot prints behind. See for yourselves below.
Whatever project you have in mind, your expectations will be way exceeded, make no mistake...
