Design Consultants in Danville

“We have worked with Penelope Daborn Ltd. on several occasions. We are always pleased with the results. Penny has helped in choosing colors, fabrics and drapes. We recently built a new porch and we had seen a sofa we liked in a magazine. Penny helped to design the piece to be built. In addition she helped with the spatial arrangement of the room, the selection of fabric and window coverings and additional furnishings. We originally worked with Penelope Daborn Ltd. 7 years ago when we moved to a new house. We always come back for her expert eye, wealth of knowledge and the top notch coordination in making the arrangements for acquiring what we need.”

“Vanessa really *gets* us, and to the extent our house is warm, inviting, and comfortable, it is largely her doing. It is what we wanted without knowing we wanted it. We still find ourselves using her, even at long distance. She's just that good.”

“We worked with Villa Hygge Design for our Maine ski house. Therese filled it with warmth and elegance. Throughout the entire process, her attention to detail and commitment to excellence was unfailing. She took the time to understand our vision, and ensured that every element was perfectly aligned with measurements and construction. She worked closely with our builder and was present on a daily basis to field questions and issues. Her organizational skills are impressive, as is her ability to manage the vendors and secure optimal pricing. I cannot recommend Therese Kelleher highly enough.”

“I retained Ms. Stewart for three very different jobs (from 2011 to 2016) in two different states -- a law firm in an historic building, a 950sf urban cottage, and a sprawling summer retreat. Her expansive knowledge and experience, unfailingly upbeat demeanor, daring, problem-solving skills, insistence on excellence, and truly brilliant sense of style and taste helped transform all three into places of beauty and comfort. She is the absolute best!”

“I have worked with Susie Coughlin on two projects in the last year - one large scale residential project, and one smaller scale commercial office space. Susie’s ideas are fresh, modern, and approachable and she knows how to get the most bang for your buck. We so enjoy the spaces she designed for us. She is also so much fun to work with, which was really important to us!”

“Danica has now helped on our lighting needs for 2 houses and has gone way beyond just lighting to ensure everything works together. She listened well to our thoughts and helped us put together the entire lighting plan. Once ordered, she also was incredible working with our electrician to ensure all lights were placed according to specs. We could not have done this project without her!!!”
