Total Design Source, LLC.

Chantal is amazingly talented. We have used her services several times over the past years and have never been disappointed. Most recently she helped us downsize to a cozy condo. Deciding what to keep and what to part with could have been daunting but Chantal made it easy and fun. We were able to keep so many of our special things while also adding new pieces to make our space home. A new fireplace surround, designed by Chantal, became the focal point in our living room area. Chantal always keeps her clients needs in mind when designing a space that is warm and welcoming. Thank you Chantal for helping us love where we live! We would recommend you call Chantal for any project, large or small.

I have been working with Chantal for about six years. She is a wonderful designer! She respects that clients have preferences for color, style, and their own “treasures”. She is always honest and clear about timelines and costs of each project. I love what she has done with my home!!

Tim and I were looking to update our living room, office and powder room. We contacted Chantal and explained what we wanted to do. She agreed to come to the house and help us with a plan. Our goal was to give our space a fresh look without obtaining new pieces. Chantal set to work. She re-arranged our living room furniture, relocated our artwork and chose new paint colors for each of the rooms. She also noticed that the back cushions on our sofa were much too high and our accent pillows were too large.. Within two weeks the cushions and pillows were re-made and a date had been set for the painter to start. Our project was completed within a month and we couldn't be happier. The entire project could not have been done more professionally or cost effective. Chantal was a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her to anyone who wanted a truly talented professional Interior Designer. In fact, Chantal is also helping us "tweak" our little home in Florida.

Chantal and her entire team at Total Design Source are professional, reliable, and elegant. Chantal's combination of good taste, wisdom and restraint has guided me in times of confusion and despair. Best of all she keeps me within my budget. I have sent many people to her and everyone has been grateful. Recently, when I was looking for a specialty fabric she didn't have in her books, Chantal sourced it and had a swatch in my hand within a week. That is customer service!

My husband and I hired Chantal and staff to help with furnishing. My husband, being a contractor and Chantal's vision for our space turned our small project into a complete remodel for our first floor. Chantal was so easy to communicate with and her taste in furnishings and fabrics helped guide us in choosing items that we are so happy with. The staff was very professional. Our home looks beautiful.

Chantal is the best designer I have ever worked with. She has a great eye, access to the best workrooms, is reasonably priced, and is a pleasure to work with. Over the course of the last five years she has handled dozens of projects for me -- ranging from a large house on the Connecticut shore, to an apartment in New YorkCity, to a 100-plus year- old historical building on the Yale Campus. The results have all been sensational.

Chantal has done amazing work in several rooms in my house including the living room, den, bedroom, and several bathrooms. Her professional yet warm attitude while working together makes the process so enjoyable. I love her bold use of color which adds so much dimension and interest to a room.

My husband and I are working on a project to refresh our living area. We are buying new furniture, reupholstering existing, purchasing rugs, coffee tables, end tables, lighting fixtures, and seat cushions. We have worked with designers in the past and have had terrible experiences due to selection of items and ability to work and respond promptly. We had decided we would probably just complete the project by ourselves so we would not be disappointed. We happened to stop in Chantal's shop just to browse. She immediately started helping us look at fabric selections based on the input we gave her. After a 1/2 hour she suggested in a very professional, respectful, and non -aggressive manner that she could visit our home for a consultation for an hour, no strings attached, no purchased required, only her hourly fee. We felt a connection right away to her and wondered if we could make an appointment in 2 days since we had deadlines to meet. She was able to visit our home based on our schedule. Chantal spent an hour in our home and immediately sensed our taste. Within a few days she had FABULOUS suggestions based our taste and combined her own design and creativity elements. One of the most impressive things about Chantal (besides her excellent design work) was her promptness and responsiveness to our project. It's been a long time since I 've worked with someone of her caliber. Additionally, her vendor relationships are outstanding. Besides seeing visual samples of her ideas, within days we had our own larger samples to use in our home as we made our decisions. Chantal is a genuine and sincere person which is a bonus to her professional design work. I would highly recommend Chantal for any small or large project. She is mindful of budgets and works to make suggestions that are outstanding but consider your budget. Once we started working with her I added some other selections to our project knowing I could trust her work. Chantal is a five-star designer and person!

Chantal has been a joy and a delight to work with. She is professional, but warm, a good communicator and efficient with time. I appreciate that she expands my perspective while respecting my own ideas. She has done a great job of tuning into my vision for our home. ours is an 1813 historic house renovation which entails some challenges, and she has been able to provide thoughtful and creative ideas to address them. I'm delighted with the way our project, still in progress, is developing.

We are delighted to have found Chantal and her firm TDR. Our relationship began when she guided us through an update of our living area which involved multiple fabric choices--never an easy task---with intelligence and creativity, always aware of our environment and style of living. Most recently, because she is now our "go to" designer, she helped guide us away from a color choice disaster, with ease and diplomacy. And she was available for consultation just in the nick of time. We could not be more pleased with our recent project and our ongoing relationship with TDR for all of our design needs.

Chantal has done many projects for me ... from a unique and stunning bathroom back splash to designing a creative new patio area overlooking Long Island Sound that added hugely useful outdoor space as well as an outstanding new look to the entire waterfront facade. I have recommended Chantal to close family members and friends. She has done outstanding work for everyone ... I am not only proud of her and her work but completely confident in recommending her services for small and large projects that are either inside or outside. She covers all the bases ... with a professional, crisp and creative approach and she doesn't quit until you are completely satisfied.

Totally delighted with every aspect of working with TDS . Every project executed with personal and professional attentiveness . Abundant resources , creativity , diverse price points with beautiful results.
