“Jennifer Butler is a very talented Interior designer that has years of experience designing beautiful and published homes and commercial projects. She is very skilled in creating interior architecture and furniture layout as well as furniture selection and interior finishes. She has always been very professional and easy to work with with my clients. I highly recommend working with her.”

“I hesitated hiring any interior designer when one was recommended by our builder for design assistance on our new lake cottage currently under construction in Northern Michigan. I felt competent and capable of designing, decorating and furnishing this 3800 sq. ft. lake home on my own, as I had satisfactorily decorated our 5000 sq. ft. primary home, during the 90’s. But as we all know, times and tastes have changed! I soon learned that, although I vaguely knew the look and feel of the “Coastal Living” lake home I wanted, I wasn’t capable of achieving that style without professional help. I further realized that trying to design a vacation home from 860 miles away on the East Coast, would be much easier with the help of an on-site decorator who could conveniently measure prior to ordering (rather than guessing,) has working relationships with all the local sources and service providers, and understands how to marry form with function, for a stunningly beautiful look, but more importantly, for the comfortable, practical lifestyle we were seeking. So, we reluctantly agreed to tour the showcase lake home of designer Amy Darooge of Villa Décor in Grand Rapids, Mi.; and after the brief tour of her stunning home, I was hooked!! If she could make my home look anywhere near as lovely as hers, I knew we would be satisfied. My husband and I are so glad we chose to work with Amy Darooge of Villa Décor, as her pleasant, positive, collaborative demeanor and savvy professionalism has prevented us from making costly mistakes; more importantly, her advice has resulted in the realizing of our vision for our ‘dream home’ for our family. She carefully listens to our needs and educates us on the best way to meet them. She is very budget conscious and has a better handle on our builder’s budget- allocations, than we do! She advises us on where to save on “unnecessary” outlays, and where “splurging” on upgrades will have a greater return on investment over time. Her forte is certainly “Coastal Cottage Style,” but she seems thoroughly conversant across the spectrum of contemporary design styles. She helped me stay true to the style I wanted and has an uncanny knack for accessorizing in just the right, understated way. The net result has been to create a tranquil retreat that will function perfectly for our large, extended family. She advised us on closet and bath design, lighting, siding, furniture and accessories, paint choices, the whole spectrum of design choices. She is invariably on time, responds promptly to all calls and emails, and collaborating with her has negated any effects posed by the physical distance. She's just very easy to work with. Simply put, she has turned a potentially stressful experience into an enjoyable one. She has impeccable taste and has helped us execute our vision exactly as we had hoped. We highly recommend her without reservation. Mary T. New Jersey”

“We are in the process of rebuilding a lake home, and Gallery Interiors and Rockford Kitchen Design are providing the interior design and cabinetry for our project. The design of our home began two years ago, and during this time, Mary Burns and her staff have done an exceptional job helping us put all of the elements together. We can't say enough about their high level of professionalism, expertise, patience, and customer service. This project easily ranks among one of the best experiences my husband and I have ever had, and we give a huge amount of that credit to Gallery Interiors.”

“Kristine has helped us with interior and exterior changes to our house over the past few years. She brings a lot of positive energy to her work, and we are thrilled with the results!”

“Lindsay re-designed our one bedroom apartment. She maximized 800 square feet (including living room office) sensibly and with a modest budget. She spent a lot of time learning about our style and was consistently accessible (SMS, email, video). Lindsay was never pretentious - always patient and friendly. Her sense of space and detail is unmatched; I jump at any chance to recommend her.”

“Lindsey came into our renovation project and saved us! We had been working with another designer that was not for us. When we met Lindsey she jumped in and hit the ground running. She understood our style and vision immediately and delivered more than I could even imagine. Prior to working with Knox J Design we were overwhelmed and not confident about our remodel. Then we met Lindsey and meeting with her every week about our renovation became the highlight of our week! She is so personal and down to earth. She works different than most designers, she works with any contracts, studios, furniture stores etc. She just seemed so much more flexible, as if each client she accommodates accordingly. This is a designer that found her passion and it shines through in every way. So Grateful!”

“I have worked with Amber and Gwen on two condos which required different strategies. Our needs for the first condo focused on maximizing the space as it is small and the focus of the renovation/decoration was to create a warm and welcoming environment that was casual as the condo is in a resort town. We had the most fun working with them as they are creative, classy, intelligent, and extremely knowledgeable. We trusted their advice as they knew what we wanted. They created a wonderful place with accessories, bedding, furniture, lighting that made our place a showcase at only 1000 square feet. We wanted to use our paintings from Brasil. The attention to detail - buttons on window fixtures that matched the materials on furniture, the color scheme that went throughout the condo, working with the contractor to ensure that everything blended to mazimize space - was amazing. Because of what they did at this condo, we asked them if they would help us on another condo. The challenge for Gwen and Amber was that we lived in China at the time, had bought a condo sight unseen, and we wanted to have major renovations done to the kitchen, bathroom, and mudroom as well as having them integrate all of our "treasures" from around the world - furniture, pottery, paintings and other acccessories from China, Korea, Africa, Brazil, Middle East, and Europe without ever having seen these treasures. Gwen and Amber took on the challenge and worked with us virtually to create a home that reflected our style where we could entertain and make our guests feel at home too. Not only did they handle all the decorating and interior design - Gwen managed the contractors for us. Everything came together on time and within our budget. Gwen is a master at visualizing what your needs are, offering options with a range of costs so that you have choices, advising on what blends together or not. She is also very patient and diplomatic when we wanted to add more Chinese furniture. She would listen and then patiently explain that we were looking for a more global look and not just Asian. Then she would come back with a piece of furniture like the Chinese one that would be a better match and quality. You could not find two interior designers who are more professional, creative, cost-conscious, and elegant than Amber and Gwen. They are trustworthy, innovative, and have an amazing work ethic. They work 24/7 so it was always easy to contact them virtually. Also, they are a lot of fun to work with as they have a positive, can-do attitude in getting things done in the least stressful way as you work through all the details to make your home what you want it be be. They took our ideas and made them better. I would use them again if I bought another home regardless where I lived as I know that they can and will work virtually. I would highly recommend them as I know they can do anything that they set their minds to in helping someone create their dream home. I bet they could even do offices too!!! You can see our living room and dining room on their website. We love what they did to both of our places. They are a great team!”

“Love Love Love Christine and her crew. They were beyond professional and also very detailed oriented. Christine helped me with all new paint colors with my new home plus gave life to an old bathroom with a very up to date look by painting the old vanity. So lovely!! Every day they were finish working they cleaned their entire work area and also went above and beyond making everything look perfect. And did it all in less time to be expected!!! If you are looking for help with anything home design, Streamliners Home is you company. I cant wait to call them for my next project!!!”

“I originally met Tiffany when she worked as a designer with a local furniture company. We were downsizing to a condo and wanted to start again with furniture and decor. She made the transition easier. I was very happy with the working relationship we had and have used her expertise on numerous projects since the initial one. I value her professional advice. She is my go to when my brain is clogged with details and I do not want to make any more decisions.... which seems to happen more as I get older. She helped me choose a color scheme for our whole condo as well as furniture placement and some of the extra decorating items. A good designer takes all the brain clogging details we store. She/he sorts them into "keep", "donate" and "dump". All I have to do is concentrate on the "keep" pile. It is very liberating and cheaper than a therapist. I am willing to add photos, but would seek her permission first, as I do not always do exactly what a designer would do, and she may not want certain choices displayed as having her stamp of approval. She charges by the hour or by the project.”

“Tammy did a great job with our Kitchen we love it!! The cabinet detail was difficult to explain all the extras and options, but she did a great job, making it simple, from the crown to the light rail, and coordinating the electrical layout with the electrician she was great!!”
