Art Selection Companies in Sanford

“Buying a townhouse as a second home near my children and new baby granddaughter during a pandemic is nerve-wracking enough, but the thoughts of furnishing it were even more daunting--until Kelly came along, that is. She met with me and found out what I like, and selected options for paint, furnishings, rugs, and decor accessories. I had choices, but not so many that I was overwhelmed. I am so happy with the results!”

“Design Works transformed our restaurant from a pre exiting sausage shop to a gourmet salads and wraps restauant. Donna and Kimmie created a fresh healthy environment for our customers and employees to enjoy! It was a pleasure working with Design Works and look forward to working with them again on our next Diced Gourmet Salads and Wraps.”

“I am honored to endorse Laura Koshel of LK Design! We began working with Laura prior to moving to The Hills at Southpoint. She visited our previous home to familiarize herself with our home decor style as well as the rugs and furnishings we planned to incorporate into our new home. Laura has a talent for visualizing possibilities. With her help we chose paint colors, wall paper and gorgeous window treatments. She was always respectful of our ideas, personal preferences and budget, while encouraging us to consider additional styles. The beauty of my home speaks for itself. Laura conducts herself with honesty and integrity. It is a pleasure to work with her.”

“Amanda was amazing. She helped me redo my master bedroom and was great to work with. She gave me lots of options to choose from and I felt like she helped me achieve my style. I feel like she is very versatile to achieve whatever style you like- not designing it to her taste. She worked within my budget and was willing to work with my schedule too. I have already sent one of my friends to her who also was very happy.”

“E-consulting with Claire Bell has been a wonderful experience! I was browsing photos on houzz.com and came across some light fixtures that I thought were stunning. I asked the designer a question, and she promptly gave me an answer and offered her services to locate the sconces I wanted. I had never heard of e-consulting with a designer before, and I was a little lost when it came to the overall design of our new house, so I was relieved that Claire led me in the right direction. After showing Claire pictures of what I liked, she was able to narrow down my style preferences and keep me from straying off course. It was a huge relief to have some guidance. Here are the benefits I found from using Claire’s online consultation services: •Accessibility: I live in rural Nebraska—far from any contemporary/modern interior designers. Being connected electronically helped me find some up-to-date guidance where none was available. •No appointments necessary: not everyone can find time in “normal” business hours to meet with a designer. Our communication via email fit perfectly into my schedule, or lack thereof, since I work from home and also shuffle around two preschool-age kids from daycare, music, and school. •Honest opinion: Claire is not afraid to tell me if my ideas are straying from the main style objective, and she offers alternatives as well. She respects my tastes but lets me know if they are not necessarily tasteful. •Expert opinion: since I live far from an urban center, I have to shop online, but I’m often unable to tell a cheap knockoff from the real thing, and the amount of choices can be overwhelming. Since Claire has seen, in person, many of the pieces I was interested in, she was able to vouch for their looks, explain in better detail, and steer me away from lower-quality items. She was able to provide her own snapshots of fixtures in actual stores so that I could see them in a setting and in “real life.” •Flexibility: Claire is able to work within my budget, which was fairly tight, so she helped me maximize on looks, saving the more expensive pieces for places with the greatest impact. She let me decide which aspects of the home I needed help with the most, and that’s where she focused her attention. •Fairness: if I found a piece online for a lower price, Claire would honor it if she could or let me shop elsewhere if I found an amazing deal. •Positive attitude: cheerful, accommodating, and friendly, Claire was very fun to work with. While e-consulting doesn't allow an actual face-to-face exchange of ideas, although Claire does offer to Skype, it was the perfect service for me because of my location, busy schedule, and smaller budget. I was able to get the benefits of a high-end designer at a fraction of the cost and on my own time. I highly recommend Chic Abode Interiors, and I’m excited to continue collaborating with Claire Bell. If anyone has questions about my experience, I’d be happy to answer them. You can reach me at Melissa.Lind@abbnebraska.com.”

“Amy’s first visit to our house was to help us pick out paint colors for our walls. Her enthusiasm and expert color sense turned a previously overwhelming task into fun! Since that time she has helped us with all of our decorating challenges from furniture placement to completely remodeling our kitchen and both bathrooms. She gets excited over re-purposing but is great at finding bargains when it’s time to buy new. She is dedicated to ensuring that your home is a reflection of your taste and personality and not hers. One of the reasons that my husband likes her is because she really listens to his ideas and remembers what he likes and doesn’t like. She charges by the hour and there are no additional hidden fees. Amy is talented, professional, and fun!”

“I needed help with my tired old basement and Robin came to my rescue. She is especially good at color. We also used a wallpaper in the bathroom that was fun and bold. She turned an old oak dresser into a vanity and it turned out great! We added a beautiful fireplace and hardwood floors as well. She was on time and budget and a delight to work with. I would hire her again for sure.”

“Professional. Delightful. My home looks beautiful with all of my pillows and drapery. Lori is the one to hire for all your decorating needs.”

“I have worked with Kathleen Monroe on multiple residential projects, and have been very satisfied with the results. Her expertise has been instrumental in bringing out a high sense of quality and style. Her skill with color and materials selection is excellent. She is a delight to work with, very flexible, and well worth the cost. I highly recommend Kathleen Monroe Design.”

“Village Design is always a pleasure to work with. Vicki has tons of industry experience and knows that right questions to ask to make sure her customers get what they want.”
