We asked Gary to provide a second opinion/consultation on our house in Mission Viejo. He was able to mediate very skillfully between me and my husband and get my husband to see his own design flaws when others could not. He is extremely professional and caring. I very enthusiastically recommend Gary, especially to couples.

We bought a new home in San Juan Capistrano that was a complete change from our Laguna home. We hired Gary to help us furnish the great room and the study. He came up with ideas that we never would have thought of, and followed through with great care. He helped us realize our dream of owning a slab table and we decorated the room around that. We moved in 3 months ago and the house is everything we dreamed of, thanks to Gary!

Gary Finley is an excellent designer. He brings style and creativity to the spaces he creates. It is an honor to work with him, he opens my eyes to possibilities I had not thought of. Additionally, Gary always keeps his client's needs and wants central to the project. His work makes me look good!

We have used Gary Finley for several projects. Which speaks for itself about the professional work he does. Gary renovated a home in Colorado that was Bavarian style, and turned it into mountain contemporary. His eye for picking out color is amazing, from co-ordinating from floor, wood work etc. He designed a metal and wood staircase which was a challenge and turned out beautiful. He has great vision Gary works well with the contractor and homeowner with insisting that we all get what we want. With all that in mind, he also watches your dollar, not always looking for the most expensive way to do things. Gary Finley is easy to work with, highly recommend.

Gary handled a whole house project for us and we are extremely pleased with the result. He has the ability to develop creative solutions, and sketch and explain his ideas.He is very knowledgeable of the materials and furnishings available. He created a home for us that is both pleasing to the eye and comfortable to live in.

Over the years I've had the opportunity to work with Gary on a number of projects in my home. Along the way I've also been able to view his other projects. His work ranges from traditional to contemporary. He is able to draw from his clients taste and needs and create beautiful and useful spaces.

Gary Finley has done numerous design projects in our home. A major design project was our living room. His creative approach to wall color and material, floor covering, lighting, window covering, furniture and accessories resulted in an eloquent yet functional transformation of our 15 year old living room. He is extremely conscientious, detail oriented, and works well within your budget. Gary is absolutely brilliant as a designer, yet he has a humility about him that makes it a true pleasure to work with him. He continues to exceed our expectations with each design project and we look forward to the next!
