Rochelle did our complete kitchen remodel five years ago and now she's helping us with our bathrooms. Our kitchen is so awesome, and all of our new guests tell us so when they first walk in. We basically knew what we wanted to achieve but didn't know how to get there. She asked us a lot of clever questions that allowed her mind to see what we were seeing in our own. Then she put very specific sample recommendations in front of our eyes, which made a hazy path super clear. She helped us with those winnowed-down choices too. What you will like about Rochelle is her confidence in what she recommends, and her ability to let your eyes see what her expert eyes do. Her occupation is a blend of art and science. I'm sure there are levels of expertise in it. She truly is a Jedi master.

It has been an absolute delight the work with Rochelle on our remodel. Our house was built in 1924, so it had been “updated” many times over the years. Rochelle was able to see through all of that, and create a wonderful space. She tied in design elements throughout the home that created a cohesive flow. She is a very good listener and does not push – she wants you to be happy, not the other way around! However, she will keep you on the path. We also lived four hours away from this project. Rochelle provided excellent on-site Project Management. She dealt with the small stuff, and kept me posted on a daily basis. I am so thankful for my partnership with Rochelle! I will definitely use her services on future projects.

Kathy,
Your home is so adorable, functional and welcoming. I loved working with you and your husband. We were a good team and I so appreciated how you worked with me to get the end result. I could not ask for a better client. Thank you for the kind review and allowing me to be help you!

Look no further, Rochelle is absolutely amazing to work with! She took a very confusing process for me and kindly took the time to work around my schedule, learn my taste and determine the aesthetic of our home before she made very helpful suggestions and selections for tile for my small bathroom and for paint colors for the whole house. I was actually considering going with a lighter paint color for my walls, but after doing two different paint swatches on the wall as she suggested, I saw that she had picked out the perfect color for us. I love the neutral, warm colors of my home and the bold blue walls in the bathroom, including the tile which perfectly complements the architecture of the home. She is a ball of fire and a great joy to work with. Highly recommended!

We highly recommend Rochelle Interiors. Rochelle helped us remodel our bathrooms, choosing countertops, backsplash, faucets, lighting, mirrors, hardware for the cabinets. We wanted to keep our cabinets and floors and within those constraints she made it all flow together brilliantly. She was quick, creative, responsive, flexible but decisive. She was highly knowledgeable about the technical aspects of the job also. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat (and will for further decorating advice).

Thank you for the writing a review and such nice compliments. You were great to work with and so open minded it made my job fun. I just loved using this counter top with your existing cabinets.

We hired Rochelle to do two projects at the same time: help us replace all furnishings (after losing everything in the CA fires) and redesign & coordinate resources for a major remodel on the new home. It was a complex job, with time & budgetary constraints and thousands of decisions. Rochelle was easy to work with, very conscientious, and she delivered on her promises while keeping us within our budget. We continue to work with Rochelle as we fine-tune our home and are thankful for her professional, high quality and delightful service.

Nancy you and Rob are so delightful to have for clients. Your positive attitudes after all you have lost is awesome. Thank you for inviting me into your lives and home.

We were so lucky to have found Rochelle. My husband and I didn't agree on much, and she helped tremendously navigating those differences so we ended up with a kitchen we both loved. He immediately connected with her and ended up trusting her opinions.. She has great ideas, great contacts and is very likable and east to work with. She had a solution for everything. Rochelle is dependable and always there when you need her. And we did, weekends, etc. She was always polite and accommodating. I highly recommend her and will use her again. We are thrilled with our kitchen!

Rochelle was a godsend for us. We were undecided on interior colors and she led us on a process to make decisions quickly. The same thing occurred with bathroom fixtures. She helped settle us as a couple to make decisions not unlike a marriage counselor. Decisions that took us weeks by ourselves were distilled quickly with her techniques into a few hours or few days. Her taste in colors, placement, and fixtures were invaluable to our projects. She saved us time, and the results were great for our medium to high end house. We found her prices were well within our budget and would consider her again for future projects.

While undertaking a kitchen renovation of my 1885 one-room-schoolhouse home, Rochelle was indispensable in her support and advice. It was a scary undertaking, as two walls were knocked out by my contractor, Rochelle was calming, reassuring, and encouraging. She offered creative and practical solutions to any problems that were unavoidably encountered during the process. She saw the “big picture” was conscientious of design decisions that maintained continuity of style throughout the house. She tactfully steered some of my crazy, out-of-the-box ideas in a sensible direction. She found effective ways to reuse many of the materials that helped trim costs and contributed to the character of the space. She was always accessible, often offering over the phone advice with urgent decisions. When deciding to invest in a costly remodel, having a good designer is integral in achieving a successful outcome. With Rochelle, you get the whole package; competence, talent, dependability, and professionalism.

I’ve been working with Rochelle going on 1 year now. She has truly been a god send during my two construction projects in Santa Rosa. She’s very responsive, available, easy to work with and ultimately she saved me money and kept me from making stupid decisions. Rochelle offers simple attainable recommendations, that’s why I love her. She is calming and efficient. I will continue to use her services as now we are decorating and fine tuning my style! I highly recommend Rochelle!

Referred by a friend

Rochelle (Ro) was wonderful! She has an amazing sense of color and design, and she can make referrals to great resources as well. She is very direct, down-to-earth, and can think outside the box, which are assets when trying to remodel and select colors for paint, counters, etc. that blend and match. She is upbeat and enthusiastic as well.

I really liked working with Rochelle. Her advice was excellent. She was able to see solutions to my awkward kitchen layout and saved me from some costly mistakes. She was always mindful that I was the one who was going to live in the space and respected my tastes and opinions. I would certainly call her for any future projects as she is talented, smart, and personable.

I highly recommend Rochelle. We had her help us with paint colors for both the interior and exterior of our home. We could not be happier with her choices and guidance. She was always timely in her response which was helpful when working with other contractors.

Commented: what is the name of the counter top?Hi, sorry for the late reply! This is a quartz. Been a while, I do not believe it is still around but is a taupe grey color. I would suggest you look at Caserstone or Silstone.
