Worked with Gail to update our family room and couldn't be happier. She listened to my wants and needs, and had samples that were just perfect. The room now looks light and cozy. Thank you, Gail!!

Although I have shopped with Ethan Allen for over 2 decades, I recently had the pleasure of working with Gail to pull together a new look I wanted for my living room. The experience has been nothing short of amazing! Gail worked within my budget to help me select pieces that flow together and compliment the entire room. She is very detail-oriented and fine-tuned the look to the smallest degree - from the order of the pillow placement on the sofa to the decor and arrangement of items on my fireplace mantel. She even helped me finalize my wall color! Gail's suggestion of decor I wouldn't necessarily have considered on my own has been spot on. I'm so excited to have Gail's knowledge, experience and expertise at the ready, and I look forward to many future collaborations. Projects big or small, she is the one who can orchestrate it beautifully. Thank you, Gail!!

Gail is an excellent design specialist. She is extremely knowledgeable about almost every product line and product offered at Ethan Allen. She helped us select furniture pieces for our new home, including custom fabrics for our dining chairs, bar stools, sofas, chairs and the drapes. She does a great job listening to us and matching our taste. A specialist in her work and a truly wonderful person!

Gail was extremely helpful getting us squared away in our new apartment in the city. She came to the new place, and spent ample time with us selecting styles, fabrics, etc. Everything is just the right size, too! Thanks for helping us, the clueless. Bob & Cheryl

Gail helped me update and modernize my living room, dining room, den and family room. I could not be happier with the advice and ideas she gave me. The rooms look updated and fresh. She listens to her client's needs and never had a problem working around items in my rooms I did not want to replace. She carefully considers the entire home space and style when recommending changes and updates. I would not hesitate to recommend her!

Gail did an outstanding job helping us with our home remodel. We remodeled nearly our entire house, and Gail helped us with furniture selection, décor, and even our room paint color selection. Her attention to detail and color is excellent. We would highly recommend Gail for any remodeling project.

Gail helped me coordinate my entire living room using what I already had while adding more modern updated pieces. She understood my style and was able to gently push me out of my comfort zone making a stunning updated comfortable family friendly room. She was patient with my timeline always seeking out the best possible price. I most appreciated her ability to put everything together to make the room completely done. She did a great job.

I worked with Gail on the recommendation of a friend. Gail came to my home numerous times to assess our needs and space. She listened to our requests and color choices and recommended fabulous pieces for our space. We purchased all new living room and dining room furniture, along with rugs and window treatments. Gail was open to our ideas. We had an issue with one of the rugs after it was delivered. Gail addressed the problem and remedied the situation to our liking. I have forwarded her name to friends who have also been very happy with her work.

Gail was a life saver for us. Starting over with a brand new style of house, we were unsure of what patterns and colors to use. Our home turned out beautiful, each piece carefully chosen to coordinate with the house and make it flow. She answered all of our questions, provided excellent advice, and even came to the house with samples to show how everything would look. I don't know what we would have done without her!

Gail is amazing! We were fortunate to meet her just as we began remodeling our entire first floor, and she guided us through the whole project. She came to our house and saw the space and our style, and put together multiple suggestions for furniture that we could see and try out at the store. She chose pieces which worked with the functionality of each room, seamlessly matching colors, patterns, and textures to give an overall cohesive look. She listened to our thoughts and concerns, and had practical suggestions to make the room work for us and our needs. She also assisted us in making selections with the remodeling contractor so the rooms flowed together, such as stain color on the wood flooring, the tile back splash in the kitchen, the new wood mantel, drapery fabrics, and even paint colors on the walls. Whenever we had a question, I knew I could text her or send a photo and she would get back to me with an answer. When the big decisions were made, she set out to accessorize and to create custom floral pieces to add the finishing touch to each room. Gail is easy to get along with, a creative visionary who is decisive but tactful. Anyone looking for a decorator who can do it all would be wise to contact Gail.

After visiting other furniture stores we went to Ethan Allen where we were fortunate to have met Gail. She was genuinely interested in our family room remodel. She listened carefully to our ideas and after visiting our home we eventually agree on a plan. Gail with her experience and knowledge of design along with her enthusiasm was the perfect person to take on our project. She was very flexible yet provided ideas and possibilities we wouldn’t have considered but liked. She is very professional and personable. Our room turned out beautifully and exactly what we wanted. We definitely look forward to working with her again in the future.

I have had the pleasure of working with Gail for over a year now. She is pleasant and fun to work with, but in the end the rooms really function as well as looking beautiful. If I need furniture, I call Gail.
