LORRAINE G VALE, Allied ASID

We hired Lorraine Vale's design team to help us create a home that was both functional and representative of our family. We have been so pleased with the knowledge and professionalism that Lorraine has brought to this process. Her attention to detail has been instrumental in so many of the decisions that we have had to make. Lorraine and Mary-Kate really make it a point to listen to what their clients need and want. We had a large project to complete and we are so happy that we had this team's organizational skills to get it done.

Lorraine Vale gave me the time and the use of her experience to make my new house a home. She spent countless hours, discussing possibilities of fabrics, wall coverings, paint colors to help me make an Informed,(and appropriate) decision to warm up my new house. Lorraine stayed at the house while the wallpaper was being put up, to make sure all went as planned. She shopped with me, and was never satisfied at things being “OK” she wanted things to look perfect and went though countless fabric samples to find just the RIGHT one for my DINING room chairs. I was not thrilled with the contemporary style and furnishings that came with the house, but with Lorraine’s guidance, my house is now a place that I LOVE to call home.

I met Lorraine through Novella Homes who is building our house. She is very professional and well-respected by the vendors we met. Lorraine scheduled and attended our appointments keeping track of everything for us. She was extremely helpful with the multiple tile visits creating the drawings just how I wanted the layout.

It gives me great pleasure to write on behalf of Lorraine Vale as an interior designer and decorator. I recently moved from Michigan into a townhouse on Daniel Island. I am the second owner and Lorraine did the design work for the first owners as well. I was initially attracted to the home not only for the standard to which it was maintained, but also by the exceptional furnishings. The rooms were beautiful and the house a showplace. I also looked at her website and her past projects. She brings a creative flare and confidence that make her results both unique and impressionable. Prior to making the move here, like most of us, I had furniture which I needed to keep or sell. I called Lorraine and sent pictures and she was kind enough to make suggestions just based on the size and style of the old furnishings and her familiarity with my new home. The initial conversation began with an overview of my decor, my favorite pieces and what might be worth moving. Those decisions are never easy but her advice was invaluable. Once here, Lorraine and I met for the first time and our meeting went well. I left with a feeling of confidence. Lorraine is charming and organized, well prepared and very conscientious. My thoughts for her were rather explicit. I needed someone who could avoid the mistakes that I might make myself and the project needed to be seamless throughout. I wanted my Michigan furniture to be a coherent and lucid part of the project and the new selections to bring in excitement and style. Lorraine read me from the beginning. I have been happy and delighted with every recommendation and all of the furnishings. I was overjoyed with each new piece and saw each piece as part of my personal conception and our mutual vision. The terms for purchasing new items, her design fee and administrative fee are written in detail and explained in the contract. Lorraine has followed each proposal with an invoice and has been prompt with installations. She has excellent resources and assumes complete responsibility to see that the work is done right without exception. Any minor issues have been resolved to my complete satisfaction and she has earned my trust that the end result will meet my high standard of perfection. In conclusion, I have recommended Lorraine to other friends, as they have ask asked me for her name and my opinion. Her work has been exceptional and I endorse her as a professional with high standards. I write to you with complete confidence that she will provide you with an outstanding result, good quality and a trustworthy agreement. Sincerely, Cynthia Opelt

I had a wonderful experience working with Lorraine on the design of Shimano's new office. Lorraine is a very talented and highly skilled individual. She was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the entire design process. Her and I worked with the client to coordinate the design of the overall space and the furniture.

I have several clients that I referred to Lorraine Vale and they all were extremely happy with every aspect of the process, starting with all her great ideas, the professionalism of her team and the extraordinary beauty when all was completed. I highly recommend Lorraine, she is amazing in every aspect of design, ideas and all my clients love her!!!

I have worked with Lorraine on many projects for over 10 years and have always appreciated her attention to detail. She is always a great asset to the process from selection to installation from a suppliers point of view.

This is a fabulous design firm, very professional, caring, timely and quick to take care of your needs. Extremely talented group.

Lorraine G Vale assisted my husband and me when we downsized into a 2-bedroom apartment. She helped us choose appropriately scaled furniture, draperies, bedding and accessories for both bedrooms and the living area and was onsite for installation. Her deep knowledge, experience and resources were invaluable in guiding us. She worked within our budget, provided choices that met our style and color preferences, met deadlines and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Although she routinely handles very large projects, she gave our relatively small project close attention. Her staff is equally wonderful. We are very pleased.

I worked with Lorraine and her staff on a Restaurant project. She and her staff are very creative and professional. I enjoyed working with her and look forward to further projects in the future!
