“My experience as an Architect collaborating with Eli Orling is one that fulfills all desires of how a project should be executed. From the directness and truthful nature, kindness towards and care of the people involve to the impeccable quality of the final product, Eli Orling and Orling Interiors represents the highest of standards and quality we should all aspire towards. As an architect I have been inspired by the quality, skills and effectiveness of these artists which has subsequently opened great new paths of inquiry into my design process and makes me a better architect. Quality and character unsurpassed.”

“Lyna transformed my entire bland space into something special, all with paint. But what paint! With her artist’s eye, she contributed a vision that any non-artist homeowner will truly appreciate (and artistic ones will embrace as well!). I had all off-white walls and really didn’t know what I wanted (except not all white). Lyna really looked at the space and the world-class mountain view from my windows and worked from there. From her wealth of knowledge of faux painting and finishing, and the experience from many successful projects, she made suggestions for each room that ended up being just perfect for me. We decided on a textured finish for the living area (brown glaze over gray walls), which provides an interesting, but not intrusive, backdrop to showcase the beautiful views and future art. In the same room, she created a Venetian plaster surround for the fireplace that perfectly complements the walls and floor-to-ceiling blinds. When I expressed amazement that it all came together so beautifully, she gave me that wry “look.” She was never in doubt! For the master bedroom, which is absolutely flooded with light, she helped me (patiently) with the trial and error to find the perfect blue-green that wouldn’t look too gray or too greenish, then made suggestions for darker shades of the same color to accent the alcove behind the bed and for the master bath. For a bedroom with no windows (this is a condo building), she came up with a gold-yellow Shimmerstone burnished finish complimented by a copper accent wall section that all worked together to make the dark room, well, shimmer, without being over the top. For the media room, also with no windows, she gave me the courage to try a beautiful leaf green that I truly love to see every day. Throughout it all, Lyna was a great pleasure to work with. She is very friendly and open, and quite passionate about her work. As for budget, I didn’t have one, but she helped me make decisions that keep it all reasonable. She also seems to be very organized in terms of scheduling toward a prompt completion, which meant a lot to me given that every room in my home was a work in progress at the same time. Lyna has my whole-hearted endorsement for anyone who wants more than the ordinary! NB”

“Dustin is a super talented and highly professional artist. This Christmas, he painted a stunning custom portrait that my fiancé loved! He is wonderful to work with.”

“AlignBetween offers a variety of color options, which is very helpful in placing this organic and soulful art in a multitude of residential and commercial spaces. The artist not only has a keen eye for capturing beautiful images, she also has a very practical understanding of functionality and consumer use. 5 star recommendation without hesitation.”

“Sandra is a very talented photographer, a true professional, and very easy to work with. Her photographic work is of the highest quality, and she strives for excellence in a facets of her work. We completed a successful medical office project in Massachusetts with Sandra, and we were completely satisfied with her work, her quality control, and her follow-through. Highly recommended.”

“Suzanne applied a faux finish to my living and dining room area. She did a beautiful job. She is a true professional and her prices are more than fair. Suzanne provided several custom samples for us to choose from, and exceeded our expectations. I would use Suzanne again, and highly recommend her.”

“It was my pleasure to work with Gina regularly throughout 2011, 12 & 13. Gina is a delight to deal with, and her work can be profound at times.”
