“Working with Kristen and Oscar at Benavides Design House was truly the best decision I made when building my new home. They were the perfect duo, guiding me seamlessly from the very first design phase all the way through the final completion of construction. One of the most valuable services they provided was taking my architectural plans and thoughtfully reviewing furniture layouts to ensure every room flowed properly. The tweaks they suggested saved us countless headaches later in the process. For more than two years, they worked side-by-side with us, and their combined knowledge of architecture, design, and décor proved to be unmatched. From designing complex custom trim work for my 6,000-square-foot home to fine-tuning even the smallest details, like the selection of kitchen hardware, Kristen and Oscar were meticulous, creative, and always professional. What could have been an overwhelming process was instead an enjoyable and exciting journey, thanks to their expertise and dedication. I cannot recommend Benavides Design House highly enough. They turned what could have been a stressful home-building experience into a dream come true.”

“When we moved from an 1835 house in Massachusetts to a small condo in a 1960s Philadelphia high rise, I knew we would need someone to help prepare our new home. I had never used a design firm before and was frankly apprehensive. After gathering recommendations I reviewed portfolios on various websites, all of which seemed either pretentiously grandiose or blandly modern, of the style seen in catalogs. Then I happened upon Vestige-Home, where the rooms designed by Nicole and her team were understated, quirky and beautiful – exactly what I was looking for. Nicole created a wonderful design for our three-room flat and the longer I have lived in it the more I appreciate her skill. I would never have chosen such dark walls, but they frame our floor-to-ceiling windows beautifully and the furnishings she selected echo the colors of the historic buildings we overlook. She took careful note of our tastes and preferences so our rooms would be functional – for example, all sofas are long enough for naps, a frequent activity of my husband. She understood our love of history and several pieces of our antique furniture were integrated into the design in ways that are fresh and modern. Nicole and her team took care of everything, from finding contractors to scheduling the freight elevator and supervising deliveries – a huge relief when one is not living on site. As in every project there were a few problems with deliveries, etc,, but Nicole was on top of every issue and communication was excellent. Our home is now comfortable, casual, and elegant, a delightful blend of old and new. It suits us perfectly.”
