deRonde Interior Design

My husband and I worked with Pat on a total gut and redo of our 4,500+ sq ft. retirement home. She was a professional from start to finish and was always available to weigh in, assist contractors and provide guidance day or night. She is extremely thorough and knowledgeable not just about design and decor but in every area of the build process. Her previous corporate experience allowed her to provide strong recommendations and clear direction for exterior/interior painting, overall design layout and decor to detailed building plans and assistance for each contractor - electrical, tile/plumbing, flooring, carpentry and all related appliance/fixtures. She's also well versed on how the industry works, what's a reasonable mark up and what services contractors should be delivering for their fees. Pat is very creative and always took the initiative to come up with solutions to any issues as well as proactively suggested functional and esthetic design enhancements throughout the process in a timely manner. She's also very resourceful and well connected. This allowed her to recommend ideal providers for lighting, tiles, furniture etc. that worked within our budget. Pat is very accommodating, articulate, positive and easy to work with. It was a pleasure working together and we relied on her judgement, knowledge and superb taste to work on our behalf knowing exactly what we wanted. We became great friends during this 5 month process. We're absolutely thrilled with the end result, which is in large part a credit to Pat, and would highly recommend her for any project large or small.

I hired Ms. deRonde to consult for a major renovation that I was planning for my home. I had been a professional in the design field for years but since I hadn't practiced in some time I felt I needed an experienced working designer to provide the skills and vision that I did not possess. The scope of the work included a brand new kitchen, dining and living room, a newly designed fireplace as well as a new family room and the addition of two new bedrooms. It was a pleasure working with her. She was quite flexible in accommodating some of my ideas and with a few changes and attention to detail those ideas became updated works of art. Her expertise in all phases of the project from design concepts to construction drawings, fire code requirements, and electrical layouts made the whole process fun and exciting. There was no guessing by the contractor as Ms. deRonde resolved unforseen issues in a timely fashion with little to no extra costs. I have been absolutely delighted with her work and do plan on hiring her for my next project, a new condo. Ms. deRonde is a highly skilled, experienced interior designer who has worked with many influential clients in all phases of the design process. I highly recommend Ms. deRonde. It was my pleasure working with her.

Gutted a '60's bungalow. This is the 2nd time I have used her services. She worked with my contractor and and the ideas and changes made this old bunagalow a sleek, contemporary oasis...open concept, more light than we could have imagined and every inch is finished space. My husband and I have a pretty good sense of style, but what she brought to the renovation was something we could not have done on our own. I would recommend highly for any project, large or small. She has a keen eye for detail and design. Our house is absolutely gorgeous.
