If you think having an interior designer is a crazy-luxury only few can afford and that they all crank out the same look, just in a different house - THINK AGAIN. BD did am amazing, out of this world job -- they helped me take what I had, what I wanted, what I needed, and create simple looks that were VERY unique, very "me" and really, really imaginative - all while making sense and being practical. I didn't really know what I liked, I just knew what I didn't like. It took them no time at all to work with me to create a plan for the house. They used a combination of very simple "tools" I'll call them, like boards, links to sites, rug swatches, paint samples, etc. to bring my not-so-clear vision to live, then worked like hell to put it together pretty quickly. I didn't know what I LOVED until they showed it to me - and then it appeared. I (like most people) wanted my house to look like something out of a catalogue, but not a catalogue ANYONE else had seen - using a my existing stuff + cool accents + awesome vintage finds + great lighting + window coverings and rugs, the team made my house a home, and a gasp-inducing and affordable one to create. Aside from the outcome, the best part (ok, it's a tie) is working with her team - forget stuffy designers who want to impose or prescribe a certain style on you - or want to go to one store and be done with it - they really took the time to find the right stuff, even if it took a few tries to get it right. The referrals for painters, organizers, window cleaners (I'm telling you - they have the best network of professionals who do not disappoint in the usual ways contractors or vendors can) was indispensable. John is amazing - he even came every year to create the most magnificent (but not over the top show-y) christmas tree for our entry-way that will never be topped. People were always asking me where i got that, who did this for you, how did you find that? I loved entertaining because I loved my home- I was so proud of it - and it felt like it was "mine" - my ideas, my tastes and my stuff. Not all out of the same store, era or even style. I can't say enough about them - the process, the outcome or working with them as people. I wont go much longer because this probably sounds like a paid endorsement, but you must know how awesome and talented (and honest, and funny, and lovable) they are. Stephanie is a wunderkind and brings together talented people and makes IT ALL WORK like no one I've ever seen. She's truly a one of a kind - work with her and your home will be too. I moved and I'm having her come to another state to work with me on our new home. That's how awesome she is. And they are. JUST AMAZING.
