Courtney Heaton

Courtney is fabulous to work with! Not only does she have an amazing design aesthetic with access to wide-ranging resources, but she's also very practically minded when it comes to the realities of life with kids. She will guide you in making good decisions and was instrumental in helping me to create rooms that even after 5 years, I'm still very excited about. Courtney helped me to navigate within our budget, advising me where to invest and where to economize. She was also very open to hearing my ideas and was always incredibly diplomatic when she needed to steer me off the wrong path. I completely trust her professional advice, and can assuredly say that even for someone like me who has an eye for design, she is well worth it. In hiring Courtney, you will streamline the process, move much more quickly and make better decisions. I can’t wait for us to get started on my master bedroom!

I cannot recommend Courtney enough. She has been an amazing designer for us for years. Her eye for detail, organization and style has truly made my house a home. Among other projects, she redesigned and updated my office while I was away. Coming home to a beautiful and inspiring workspace was amazing! I also love watching her work her magic whether its reorganizing accessories and books on a shelf or planning a complete renovation. She loves what she does and her passion shines through to the finished product.

I have worked with Courtney Heaton design on at least 5 occasions over the years. Each time i've been impressed by her contemporary and clean design plans, and her ability to transmit her vision clearly while remaining open to input from the professionals she's gathered around her.

I wasn't sure what I was looking for, I just knew my apartment needed some updating and freshening up. Courtney asked me lots of questions about what I liked and how I lived. She made a few recommendations for new materials, and did some simple rearrangement of furniture and accessories I already had. Courtney has a good eye for fabrics and personal touches, and I'd hire her again in a minute. Thank you!

I was lucky enough to find Courtney in an antique store she had been working in ten years ago and I have been using her services ever since. Over the years, Courtney's expertise in decorating has created an amazing space in my home that not only I love, but everyone who visits. She listens carefully to the vision I have for each room and she always comes up with a variety of amazing products that I struggle choosing from because everything seems perfect. More importantly, she is patient, listens to the budget I have in mind and never pushes a certain look. I have come to the understanding as much fun as it is to try and do on my own, I realized there were too many mistakes I made that resulted in me not liking and ultimately having her step in and fix. I recently purchased a new home and look forward to spending many years with Courtney to create another beautiful home everyone will love, especially me.

As a custom cabinetmaker, I have really appreciated collaborating with Courtney on a variety of great projects. Her attention to detail and ability to communicate her clients' desires clearly takes all the guess work out of my job and allows me to efficiently deliver beautiful final products. She couldn't be easier to work with, and has the experience necessary to maintain a project's momentum through unforeseen hiccups and evolutions in design.

Can't rave enough about the incredible work Courtney has done in our home over the past 7 years. Have utilized her design expertise on several projects, large and small. In our 1920s Spanish Revival home in SF, Courtney has completed the following projects: 1) A facelift kitchen project (marble countertops, tile, fixtures) made a huge impact to a dark, disjointed space. 2) Custom furnishings and decorating to tie together existing decor -- great vision to complete a cohesive design (living room, bedrooms). 3) Complete renovation of two bathrooms -- worked on complete design and supervision of $100K project. Architecturally sensitive to existing decor, incredible details and custom features. Delighted with results. Key attributes: LISTENS to client input; great sources of materials, furnishings; BUDGET sensitive; EXCEEDS expectations on all projects, large and small.
