Working with Beverly this year to complete a downstairs remodel has been a pleasure. She understood my aesthetic and worked hard to achieve the result I was looking for. I appreciated her help drawing floor plans and giving me options, deciding on color schemes, selecting furniture, fabrics and fixtures, designing window treatments and providing input on the little details that make a difference. Most important, she was always available to answer my questions and help with decisions. I would highly recommend Beverly, she is a professional with a lots of experience and good taste!

Hello Susie,
As an educated professional yourself, I highly regard your praise! Thank you so very much!
Working with you to complete your remodel has been a joy. Despite the limitations that Covid-19 placed on us, I think that together we achieved a design that reflects your evolving personal tastes and lifestyle.
Thank you for the opportunity!
Beverly

Design Focus far exceeded our expectations. Beverly and Patricia were a pleasure to work with and they adeptly coordinated the design-build firm, vendors, and contractors; but most importantly, they listened to our desires and concerns and kept everyone on the same page. We could not have accomplished such a beautiful and inspired finished product without them. Their attention to detail, fine eye for color coordination, and advice on quality finishes and fixtures really paid off for us.

Comment from Design Focus:

Judy,
We so appreciate your review! It is so gratifying to know that you have met a client's expectations, particularly when you came to us with so many concerns at the outset.
Although you and Steve often had some differing opinions in design matters, it was such a joy to work with both of you to find the 'middle ground' that met both your needs.
I hope you continue to enjoy your home for many more years to come!
Warm Regards,
Beverly and Patricia

Beverly is a truly experienced professional. We would probably be classified as a difficult client. Time elapsed for a few reasons - this is a second home, my husband and I often had 'different' tastes, and I have a hard time making a decision. Beverly was patient and never pushed. She also willingly advised on items we purchased over the internet.

Thanks so very much, Judy and Marv! You were FUN clients to work with: rarely, if ever, difficult, and your warmth and sense of humor made our time together productive and enjoyable.

My husband and I have worked with Beverly and Design Focus for 20 years, from new house construction and design to 2 remodels. She is a true professional and does beautiful, complete work. Her staff is also wonderful and easily accessible. We wouldn't consider doing another remodel without Beverly and her expertise!

Comment from Design Focus:

We assisted with Jeri and Bill's original construction in '99, a remodel in 2008, another partial update in 2015, and we are beginning a very minor spruce up in another month or so. We are blessed to have had such lovely clients to work with and share life's changing seasons with!
Thank you, Jeri and Bill!

I found Beverly through a friend who's home she had designed. I was so impressed with her work! Beverly is supported by a great team. She was always punctual and prepared for each appointment. I was always so impressed with every meeting...fabrics, colors, pictures, and more were presented during each appointment. I always left knowing I was in good hands! I could not have tackled this on my own. Beverly has impeccable taste and style! I am in awe of her talent as an interior designer. I would refer Design Focus without hesitation and with complete confidence. Sincerely, A. Graham

My husband and I fell in love with Beverly's design style in a Design House 2 years in a row. In fact, her rooms were the only ones we liked! We were looking to redo our master bathroom, closet and bedroom, working from an anchor piece of art. Beverly's sense of design and colors are stunning! We are still in process but even the contractors are commenting on how beautiful the project is. The colors, materials, style - absolutely gorgeous! I showed the bathroom (still without the tub!) to a dear friend and she exclaimed, "It's SO YOU!" And indeed, yes, it is. And I KNOW we would not have reached this level of elegance and unique style without Beverly's help.

In the recent Milo review It is supposed to say 'WITHOUT Beverly's help...'
Please check. Thank You!

I hired Beverly Stadler of Design Focus on the recommendation of a neighbor whose new home she had recently decorated. Our project included converting my grown son’s old bedroom into an office for my husband and refreshing the interior of our 15 year-old home. It was a great collaboration. Our project grew to include new flooring throughout the house, carpet and tile including heated bathroom floors! We also painted the interior of the house adding lovely accent walls, beautiful custom cabinetry, dramatic lighting and a floor-to-ceiling modern slab fireplace (one of our favorite new features). We blended new furniture with old favorite pieces and re-framed existing artwork. I appreciate Beverly’s keen eye for detail and her strong sense of design. Beverly’s design ideas have transformed my once tired looking home into a showcase that I feel happy and proud to come home to everyday. I loved working with Beverly and her staff, as well as all the other professionals she sent to my home. Our sweet dog Yuki just adores Beverly. I highly recommend Design Focus.

I started working with Beverly 30 years ago on her own home. In the last 30 years we have worked on numerous projects together. What I really appreciate is her incredible ability to put everything together. I have told people there are "decorators" and then their are "designers". Designers can see the space completed and put it all together. Others do it piecemeal and often times it looks like it. Design Focus, lead by Beverly, has the talent and the resources to do a great job. Whether you have a commercial, medical or residential project that needs help, Design Focus is an excellent source for all your design needs. - Marvin Dennis, President Woodcrafters Intl Inc

I had the great pleasure of working with Beverly on several projects. Beverly referred me as a painter and I referred Beverly to a client needing color coordination. My client was thrilled with Beverly's professionalism and advice. All clients came back with great reviews. Beverly's reputation is well known in the region and few can match her skills. I look forward to working with Beverly and Design Focus again soon.

Beverly with Design Focus did a wonderful job in my home after a water leak damaged my kitchen, family room, dining room and 1/2 bath. I was able to still work my full time job and get the project done in a couple of months. My home looks better now than it did before the damage thanks to Beverly's beautiful sense of style and her ability to incorporate my style along with it. Thanks Bev.
