ONYX & ALABASTER

Onyx & Alabaster / Jekyll & Hyde All the reviews we saw re. O&A were positive, so we engaged them as our design team for a bathroom, laundry & kitchen remodel. Tanya let us know early on that there was not enough in the budget to cover the bathroom. We did not have the good guy. We had Hyde. First of all, do not sign their contract. It's awful for the client. Our main contact w/them was receiving invoice after invoice after invoice, ad nauseam for design services. They charged us about $6,000 in design fees. We have very little to show for it - some pictures with incomplete descriptions. I asked Tanya to send us what they had, but she never did. We were not fully satisfied w/their design. We let them know what we liked & changes we would like to see done. It was almost a week before Tanya responded by dropping us as her client. (They did return our $3,500 retainer. Thank God!) They were intimidating & tried high pressure sales tactics. They were very disrespectful to us. They kept belittling our budget ($35,000). Please steer clear of this firm & save yourself from a very unpleasant, expensive experience. P.S. I just tried to bring up from O&A the folder of our design. The folder I had of our design from O&A is gone. It says: "Sorry! The link to this invoice is no longer valid, please contact your designer." The Miller Family Spring Hill, TN

The Onyx & Alabaster team is fantastic to work with - talented and well-run. They listen well and communicate well. They deliver on their plans. I highly recommend them.

I hired them for my holiday decor this past Christmas season and it was a great experience! I highly recommend Tanya and her team. They do beautiful work and their customer service is perfect.

I can't believe how effortless it was to work with Tanya Embree / Onyx & Alabaster. I reached out to her about converting a temporary apartment with Cort furniture rentals into a more permanent, comfortable Franklin abode. One meeting with her was all it took for her to understand what I was looking for and she quickly was able to capture exactly what I needed and her proposal was right on target. She coordinated every single aspect - purchasing all the furniture and accessories needed, painting, hanging of artwork and curtains, and clean-up of everything. I returned from business travel to find a wonderful comfortable new home. Would not hesitate to recommend or work with Onyx & Alabaster again!

Tanya and her staff were a pleasure to work with. She listened well, stayed within my budget and created a beautiful space. She totally exceeded my expectations and now I absolutely love my pretty home! I will definitely work with her again.

We have completed several projects with Tanya and her team. She is the utmost professional, creative, organized, ethical. I would highly recommend her if you are considering interior designers.

We started out using Tanya to help us finish dressing up the first floor of our house. As we started the process we realized we wanted to restructure the kitchen and Tanya was so easy to work with through the whole process. We absolutely Love the results and look to working with her again!

Tanya and her crew transformed our new-to-us house into a beautiful home where we feel so peaceful! They were able to make a profound difference utilizing a combination of things I already owned as well as new things. She beautifully created the atmosphere in our home that I had wanted and requested. Highly recommended!

Tanya redesigned/refreshed our living spaces, including living room, kitchen and master bedroom. She did an outstanding job with my budget and timeline. She way exceeded my expectations. With her ability to space plan, she completely changed the layout of our living room, making it the most functional layout we have had since living in our house for 20 years! She proved to me that you don't need a big expensive house to have a nice living space!!

Tanya and her team were great to work with. They were very conscientious of our time and budget. She was able to tie in some pieces we brought with us to make our new place feel like “home” AND have a new fresh feeling to begin our new life here. It was a wonderful experience and we love the results!

We hired Tanya to come in and transform our remodeled space and she totally blew our expectations. She was able to combine three buildings worth of furniture to create a warm, welcoming and magazine-like environment that has truly brought a "wow" to people who walk in for the first time. We were blown away and I still walk in and stand amazed that we get to have a building that looks this good. I couldn't recommend Tayna and her team high enough. She did amazing work on time, on budget and way over delivered!

Tanya created a beautiful living room for my family out of a large and awkward space that I couldn't envision what to do for design. I wanted to make it modern, functional and comfortable. She achieved all three and helped me incorporate color in a sophisticated yet fun way. She worked within our budget and I love the results! It was such an easy and seamless process, and Tanya is a pleasure to work with.
