Serendipite Designs

We have had the pleasure of working with Valerie and her lovely team on a few projects now (and hopefully more in the future)! They have been an absolute joy! The whole team is organized and quick to respond. As a contractor, that is the perfect combination! Their drawings are very thorough and our shared clients are always very happy. We're thankful for the beautiful spaces that we've been able to create together and look forward to more!

Valerie designed our bedroom and entire first floor of living space. We are in absolute awe and love for what she created. She knew my husband's and my style even better than we did and she nailed it! She made our home elegant yet inviting. My family and I absolutely love being home and relaxing in our space. I can not say enough good about Valerie and her team. They are wonderful and have become like our family.

I have photographed for Valerie for two years now and I believe her design expertise and know-how is out of this world! As far as her eye goes - everything is exactly where it should be. It makes my job easier and fun fun fun! I grew up in the home-improvement industry and as a photographer I understand that attention to detail is everything! Valerie has that gift.

Serendipite did a wonderful job with our top to bottom renovation! Valerie selected all the plumbing fixtures, tiles, lighting, flooring, carpet, paint, appliances and many other design details for layout and flow of the house. She also coordinated the project with our contractor making the selection of the details and little decisions move quickly so that our project was done on time. She took a blah old house into a fabulous, fun family home that is elegant, bright and cheerful. Everything she selected was personalized for us and catered to the needs of our family - not cookie cutter or repetitive. She was open to my preferences and suggestions and was great when I sent her links that I liked for inspiration. In addition to the construction and infrastructure work, she helped us with the design as well. Since we were moving bi-coastal, she organized furniture placement, helped buy rugs, select fabrics, make curtains and pillows and other buy accessories to merge our existing pieces into the new spaces. She worked great from afar sending samples to me and making decisions flow in a coordinated way. She helped identify where to splurge and where to not indulge to meet our budget and have the end product look stunning. Our project was on time and on budget and easy thanks to Valerie! Valerie was a joy to work with and very organized and honest. We love our home that she helped create!

Valerie is very professional and dedicated to doing a great job. She has a talent that is hard to find in today’s environment in that she knows she stuff and has a way of making it an easy process in what can be a very stressful time trying to make the right choices. She takes it all in stride and doesn’t let anything slip through the cracks. Her attention to detail and organizational skills provide relevant services and through communications in a timely, professional manner. I am continually impressed with her ability to successfully multi-task several projects simultaneously, and with her enthusiasm to take on additional ones. She is unquestionably dedicated to her profession. Our project is nearing the end and Valerie and Melissa her assistant will be missed. They have become part of our family in sharing throughout the project life’s challenges both good and bad. We could not be happier with the way she has transformed our house into a beautiful home that we look forward to enjoying for a long time!

Valerie is a joy to work with!! She is so thorough, creative, fun, kind, and a great listener. The projects I have worked on with her turned out beautiful. She is also very organized and the projects go smoothly.

It is an honor and very pleasurable to work with Valerie and her team. So creative and eager to learn and share ideas.

Valerie was wonderful to work with! We did a whole house remodel that included kitchen, living room, family room, loft, bathrooms and bedrooms. She had great ideas and was always willing to incorporate our ideas too! Valerie was very accessible - always returning phone calls and emails quickly. Great attention to details! If you want a great designer, I would highly recommend Valerie!!!

Ms Ribiero is the consummate professional with amazing style! I needed some direction and alternate ideas related to my small galley kitchen remodel. Valerie listened to my desires amd concerns then returned options that were exactly what I needed to make a decision on the direction of the remodel. I will be working with Ms Ribeiro again as the project progresses.

Working with Valerie is a true pleasure. Her designs reflect exactly what her clients ask For and more. We would have been lost without Her guidance and support. She goes above And beyond what is expected of her.

Having just bought a new home, we were in need of a decorator that would help us from start to finish. We found Valerie to be trusting, highly knowledgable in her artistic direction. Valerie proved to have the technical, analytical and originative skills to design any room of our home. She was able to merge items we already had by recovering or painting. Valerie was very selective and thoughtful with every detail of work she brought to the project. She was easy to work with, listening patiently to our needs and working within our budget. I would highly recommend her for any design challenge.
