Deconstructed Living Design

Audra is wonderful! Fantastic taste, stays within our budget and her contractors do great work. We redid our laundry and mud room. Kids bathroom is next!

Audra is a breath of fresh air. It’s like having your friend with exceptional taste come along your home journey with you. She gains an understanding of your personal style early on in the process and pulls an entire look together quickly. Audra has now helped me through a full kitchen and mudroom gut, added finishing touches in my living room, entryway, dining room, master bedroom and powder room. We are now gutting the remaining full bathrooms together and starting from scratch. The final look is always amazing and perfect for our family of 6 plus puppy. Plus she is just fun to work with!

I have so enjoyed working with Audra. When we were under contract to buy our home that needed a lot of cosmetic work, she met with me before the closing to walk through the house so we could hit the ground running. She pointed out things to do that I never would have noticed until it was too late, and those small things make a big difference. On certain items I did not want to spend a lot of money on, she always has great suggestions that work on a budget, and look expensive in person. She caught on to my preferences quickly and probably knows my own style better than I do. I am not only thrilled with how my new home looks, but I also feel like Audra saved me time and money along the way. She is also incredibly responsive. I look forward to working with her again on more projects down the road.

Audra is fantastic! She really took the time to understand our style and the ways we intended to use the space. Having a casual, inviting, usable space was very important to us especially with young kids and she helped us to achieve our goal! Audra was great in re-purposing items we already had/loved and stayed within our budget. She is great and so easy to work with, I highly recommend!

Audra helped me transform my boys bathroom. She not only understood my design vibe immediately, but she pushed me out of my comfort zone, which is already fairly broad, and designed an incredible space! The new bath is full of color, which was a must-have, a pop of "edgy" and nothing that will look tired in a few years. She mixed all price points to allow me to splurge where it was needed and save when it was possible. Truly fabulous and can't wait to move on to the next space - the KITCHEN:)

I highly recommend Audra’s interior design services! Of course she has great taste and an eye for what looks great, that goes without saying. But where she really shines is in finding a way to marry two personal styles together in a cohesive way. My husband tends toward more subdued and traditional design, while I tend toward a bolder eclectic style. She was able to find away to combine those two tastes into a really beautiful design. She pushed us a bit out of our comfort zones, which I consider a really good thing. But if there was ever something that we just could not get on board with, or something we just had to have that she didn’t love, she supported us and found a way to continue to incorporate exactly what we loved into her overall design. I would absolutely (and will most likely!!) hire her again in the future. Anyone who does is in very good hands!!

Audra is an A+. She has a great sense of style, but her knowledge goes deeper: her academic training shows as she understands how furniture is constructed, the true characteristics of certain styles and periods. This allows her to put things together perfectly, and to predict what is a trend and what is a lasting look. She is respectful of her clients' budget and doesn't hesitate to recommend against something but does so by providing simple reasons and counter recommendations, which I find a huge plus! She is prompt, delivers on her promises, polite and fun to work with.

Working with Audra was such an easy and productive experience. She started working with me while I was still living across the country from the home we purchased. What would have normally been a hardship from so far away was instead an absolute pleasure. Audra handled our kitchen remodel, finishing our basement, laundry room, as well as furnishing many of our other rooms in our house. I have to stop and add that I rarely write a review. Maybe never ;) However, when something or someone is really fantastic, I feel compelled to brag about it. Because of Audra, our many projects went so quickly and seamlessly. The vendors she recommended were all incredibly talented, trustworthy, and enjoyable to work with as well. She coordinated with them and kept everyone on schedule -all while making our home beautiful. Audra has an uncanny ability to get to know your style, and unlike other designers I’ve worked with, she truly listens to your needs and pays attention to the functionality of a room -something really important with young kids! One of her talents I admire most, is her ability to take the items you already own, mix it with some new, and turn it into something exceptional. What I thought was going to be our “junk room” is now my favorite in the house because of her superpowers. I cannot recommend her enough.

Audra is the best! I had a huge open basement post flood, with no vision or sense of space, and she came in and immediately helped me visualize the different areas based on my family’s needs. It came out so great that the basement is now our favorite area in the house! She also helped a lot as I agonized over carpet samples, paint colors, etc. she even got a really cool light fixture that we could put legos in for my boys - extra bonus!!! Price was very responsible as well!

Both I and my husband were very pleased with the completion of the project. Audra demonstrated the highest level of professionalism. She was there every step of the way to assist with the smallest detail. I would highly recommend Audra for any project.

Audra is fantastic! She is easy to work with, listens well but also gives her honest take on how to create the space you are working on. She has a great eye and a great business sense. Highly recommend and can't wait to work with her again!!!

I loved working with Audra. I had my own contractor already lined up, so having her as an extra set of eyes was invaluable. She raised the level of everyone’s work. She was flexible, available, and fun to work with. Can’t wait to use her again!

Had a fantastic time working with Audra during our office renovation. She brought to the table a tremendous amount of creativity and suggested layouts, colors and themes I had never imagined. Her professionalism, knowledge and guidance truly made this a 5-star experience! Not only is she a great designer, she is genuinely a wonderful person who is a pleasure to work with. Her energy and passion really shines through. Our space turned out to be beautiful and unique yet functional for every day work. It’s been a few months now, but we still get compliments from coworkers on how great our office looks! I would highly recommend Audra if you are thinking of remodeling your space whether it be home or office.

We had an AMAZING experience with Deconstructed Living. Working with Audra was effortless. She was professional, prompt, on point, within budget and great to work with. We're looking forward to our next project and Deconstructed Living will be part of it for sure.

I have worked with Audra on numerous occasions and have had a great experience with her. She has great ideas; she is a pleasure to work with.

Updating the dining and gathering areas of our great room, including replacing furniture, redecorating mantel and hearth as well of reusing already existing pieces to revive the space.

Could not be happier with how my living room turned out! Hired deconstructed living based on how much I liked the design of their store. Wanted a unique room and thats exactly what I got. They installed a barn wood wall and chose furniture that not only was gorgeous, but maximized the layout of the room. Added additional seating while making the room look larger. And stayed within budget, utilizing existing accessories, that blended beautifully with all the new items.

We had our living room re done including upholstery. Audra helped pick fabric, short listed tables and sofas for us. This was very time efficient and her choices were on-point. In fact her design business has decorated much of our house over the years. We consistently receive compliments and are really enjoying our home decor.

Audra is so easy to work with. She's fun, courteous and stays on top of those of us who procrastinate when making decisions. Her taste is impeccable, eclectic, cool, modern, but she knows her way around all things no matter what your style. She has helped me with a number of things from helping me choose bathroom tile, to light fixtures, to window treatments. She stays on top of what's new and really has a great eye for the unusual. I highly recommend using her for any interior decorating projects, big or small. She has a team of great people to help make your ideas come alive....electricians, window treatment specialists, rugs, cleaners, movers...name it. She's really wonderful.

I worked with Deconstructed Living to decorate a family room and dining room. I could not be happier with the results. I love working with Audra. She has great vision for the rooms she decorates. They have access to very unusual furniture and decor. We did my rooms in "Earthy Modern". The rooms feel so warm and cozy yet very up to date. Working with Audra and her assistant was a total pleasure!!!

I first went to Audra at deconstructed living for "a little help" on deciding what to keep, what to move around, what to sell and what to buy to refresh my house. She ended up inspiring us so much, and we came to trust her so much, that we re-did several rooms --and for way less than we thought. I was afraid a decorator wouldn't easily "get" what we wanted, but Audra did, and she has great vision and taste. She made everything so easy, and came up with extra ideas and suggestions, going above to make it all happen. I obviously recommend her services with 100% enthusiasm.

Audra Fine at Deconstructed Living helped us furnish and decorate our home in Margate NJ. It was new and had nothing. She was respectful of our tastes and budget. She took our input but didn't let us make mistakes. A few years later we moved our primary home in PA. She worked with all of our furnishings that we wanted to keep while bringing in new items to update our home. Audra is the best. She is a delight to work with.
