Jacy Painter Kelly
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Hickory
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 24, 2013
“Jacy is a rock star. I wanted a new look and feel for several rooms in my house and Jacy knocked it out of the park! Jacy is extremely easy to work with and she immediately knew what i was looking for!! I only changed one light fixture!! Considering she was designing my master bedroom, master bathroom, kitchen, office, entries and lower level entertainment room, to say i only changed one idea goes to show how unbelievably talented Jacy is. Her pricing is very fair and her installs went so smoothly...she took care of everything. I would highly recommend her for your interior design needs!!!”

“Dwell by Cheryl Interiors has done two interior design projects in my home. The first was for my dining room and Cheryl did an initial consult to see what I wanted done for the space. Next, she took lots of photos and created a draft design of what the room would look like with coordinating pieces from wall art to mirrors, the rug, and chandelier. The room design turned out fabulous, so much so, that we decided to have our next project be a redesign of our family room, foyer, kitchen, and 1/2 bath. Cheryl did a phenomenal job and her attention to detail is superb. We highly recommend her as she provides A plus service! The Scott Family”

“Christina & Jacqui, Hello! All I can say is WOW!!!!! I love everything you did in our living room. I don't ever want to leave that room( It was hard to go to work today). I knew that room was blah but didn't realize how boring it was until you placed all the items in it. I know I called Jacqui on Friday but wanted to share the story with Christina as well. I was on my way home from work on Friday and received a phone call from my 12 year old daughter. She Said" MOM, Our house is Awesome!!!! It feels like a home now" She said there was art work on the walls and new furniture. I asked her to tell me what it looked and she said "NO"! You need to come home and see it for yourself. I asked her to at least tell me what was her favorite thing in the room and I got the same response. I teared up as Caitlynn is not my child to be so excited about these sort of things. She was and is so proud of that room. I did eventually make it home on Friday( I had to pick up my oldest and she was so excited that we had to pick up one of her girlfriends to share the excitement with) We walk in and WOW. It is so warm and inviting. We all didn't know what to look at first. Every time we turned around, we would spot something new. Sergey got home late Friday night but he thought he was in the wrong house. This is a HUGE accomplishment as it takes alot for him to actually like something. I cant thank you enough for the beautiful arrangement you did in my living room. I can officially say it feels like a home. You two are great at what you do and I am so proud to have had you re-do my living room. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!! Heidi Erdos PS. Caitlynn's favorite piece is the art on the wall behind the couch. Carlee loves the piece that the TV is on and the piece in the kitchen. I am still debating as I love all of it. So does Sergey!!! I cant wait to do the downtairs bathroom so it will feel even more complete.”

The interior design process typically follows several phases:

  4. Documentation: Detailed plans, specifications, and purchasing schedules
  5. Implementation: Ordering, delivery coordination, and installation Throughout the process, expect regular communication, revisions based on your feedback, and project updates. A typical room design can take 8-12 weeks, while larger projects may extend several months depending on scope and construction needs.
Before your first meeting with a designer:
  • Set a realistic budget, including both design fees and furnishings
  • Gather inspiration images that reflect your style preferences
  • Make a list of how you want to use the space
  • Identify any existing pieces you want to keep
  • Document room measurements and take photos
  • Consider your timeline and any scheduling constraints
  • Prepare questions about their process and communication style

Being clear about your expectations, constraints, and preferences from the start helps create a smooth and successful design process.

Hiring an Interior Designer in Hickory, NC


If you're planning a large home improvement project, remodel, or new build, hiring a general contractor is a crucial decision. These professionals manage all aspects of construction projects to ensure timely completion and client satisfaction.

General contractors in Hickory, also known as project managers, oversee the entire construction or remodeling process. They collaborate with architects to review plans, arrange permits and inspections, and manage day-to-day operations. While they may handle some tasks like carpentry directly, they primarily coordinate specialized subcontractors for services such as electrical work, plumbing, and painting.


When selecting a general contractor, thoroughly evaluate their bids, timing, and pricing. Unusual variations in cost estimates may indicate premium charges or deliberate underbidding. Always check references, read reviews, and visit completed projects. Once you choose a Hickory contractor, carefully review the contract to ensure clear alignment on project expectations.


Key questions to ask potential contractors in Hickory, NC:


  • How long have you been in business and what similar projects have you completed?
  • Who will work on the project and what qualities do you seek in subcontractors?
  • Can you provide references and proof of licensing and insurance?
  • How do you handle pricing, including changes and budget overruns?
  • What is your project timeline and what will you need from me?
  • What type of contract do you use and what documentation will you provide?
  • What is your payment schedule and deposit requirement?
  • What warranties or guarantees do you offer on completed work?
  • How do you handle disputes or issues during construction?
  • What is the typical timeline for a project like mine?
