Brakefield Design Collective

In this new reality of daily Zoom meetings, we are repeatedly asked if our room background is real or a dream stock photo. Thanks to Megan’s beautiful vision: it’s real! I’ve read through her many 5 star reviews and all are correct: she is talented, professional, and has strong relationships with local contractors/professionals. Our first project was a gut renovation of our main bathroom along with a main bedroom refresh. Megan’s combination of high and medium end finishes created a lovely retreat that we continue to enjoy two years later. Given our previous working relationship, we now had complete trust in Megan’s ability to design our first floor renovation. We felt comfortable splurging on some investment pieces and feel she’s at her best when given free reign as a designer. Megan envisioned a space that exceeded our hopes: a gut renovation of our kitchen and office as well as refresh of our family room, living room, and dining room (cabinetry design, wall coverings, window coverings, furnishings, area rugs, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, etc.). Megan’s sophisticated prior work experiences have resulted in a home that is less typical suburban and more youthful, bright, and ready for entertaining. How fortunate we feel to have this “new” home now that we are spending so much time here in 2020.

Megan was so easy to work with and made excellent choices in the major update to our home. Her designs for our bathrooms turned out so well! Each one is a little bit different and so well put together. Beautiful paint choices throughout the home. Megan makes design choices that are current, but also timeless - things that will look good for years to come. Megan is also very creative when picking furnishings. We are enjoying our new spaces so much each and every day!

Megan created an incredible design plan for our home. She was able to visualize exactly what we wanted by talking with us and looking at some of our Pinterest boards. She made it easy for us to purchase furnishings for our home via an organized spreadsheet. Megan is excellent with communication and responds promptly to our emails. She is always available for questions or other recommendations. We are so happy with everything she has done for us, and we can't wait to make the changes to our house that she suggested!

As we were planning a major remodel that started in September 2019, we needed help designing our open concept (living, dining, kitchen, fireplace wall), our new entryway and mudroom. We contacted Megan and within two weeks, she met with us virtually to understand our styles, created moods boards for inspiration on how to pull our style together and provided two stunning design options that allowed us to choose one or mix pieces of each which made us feel part of the whole process. Since this was a true cross-country design, Megan in Wisconsin and our home in California, Megan provided us a detailed punch list of all the beautiful items and where to purchase them. From our beautiful new white oak floors to our amazing colors, stunning kitchen, insane grey limestone fireplace wall, black accents in our hardware and light fixtures and statement mudroom tile floor, Megan has designed our forever home. She is an amazing interior designer!

It was such a pleasure working with Megan. She knew exactly the look I was going for and had the best ideas for my kitchen and bath remodel. The overall look was beautiful. She was easy to communicate with and coordinated well with the construction company that did the renovation. In addition, she was able to work within my budget. I would hire her again without a second thought.

I loved working with Megan! She came to my rescue when I was feeling completely overwhelmed with selections for my new house. She understood my vision and created a beautiful, cohesive design under a tight timeline. As part of her process, she worked with my builder’s vendors to ensure her selections were in my budget. I can’t wait to see the finished product! I had a wonderful experience working with Megan, and I highly recommend her!

Megan is simply amazing. She listened to my design aesthetic and consulted on several design aspects in our new home. Picking out paint colors can be very daunting and Megan knew the exact colors that would make my house pop. I'm so glad to have worked with her and will definitely use her again for any of my designing needs.

Megan did an absolutely wonderful job helping us furnish and decorate our new home. We couldn’t be happier with the whole process or the result. Can’t wait to tackle other home projects with Megan!

We can't say enough wonderful things about working with Megan. She helped us with a significant renovation of the kitchen and three bathrooms in our home and we are thrilled with everything. Megan has wonderful style and taste but equally important, is also a dream to work with in that she is a total professional - she really listens and then proposes multiple concepts around your needs while also suggesting new or alternative ideas that you may not have thought of (and wish you had!). Simply put, Megan is a wonderful partner to have in what can often be a hectic, confusing, and stressful process.

When I saw Megan’s previous projects on Houzz I knew she had to design my home too! Turns out I was right! I fell love in love with nearly every concept, textile, fixture, and furniture piece she selected first time around. Our new home build process would have been so much more stressful had I not found Megan. Trust me when I say - take any opportunity to eliminate stress when building a house haha! She was wonderful at sticking to suggested price ranges, and still achieved the perfect look for the concept we wanted. Throughout our time working together, Megan had always been very timely with her responses when I needed her help or opinion on something. Her solutions were always perfect! Above all else, Megan has a great work ethic and personality. You can’t teach that! She was so wonderful to work with! Thank you, Megan, for making our new home so gorgeous!!! You are a genius!

Megan was fantastic from the beginning to the end of my project! She was very informative at the beginning and answered all my questions. I interviewed other designers and ended up going with Megan because she has established partnerships with builders. Every other independent designer I spoke with didn't and therefore couldn't commit to timing. Megan brought design boards so I could see and feel the products she was recommending, was great with the back and forth until we finalized the design, responsive throughout, very professional, and super organized. She has a knack for the latest trends and I couldn't be happier with the final product. I have already recommended her to others! You will not be disappointed with Megan!

I first met Megan when my husband and I decided to totally renovate our mid century ranch. She was invaluable from the start of the remodel until the end. She was great to work with, and really listened to what our ideas were and made it happen. Highly recommend!
