Wilson Boland Design is a fabulously creative and stylish design duo. The studio space is full of ideas and products to take your home to the next level. Highly recommend working with Wilson Boland to create a beautiful and livable home. Wilson Boland worked seamlessly with our builder to ensure the end product was perfect, no detail was missed. Best design studio in the Washington DC metro area.

Carolyn has saved me thousands of dollars - literally! I had a professional window contractor working here the same time as Carolyn and he telling me I need a steel beam to support 3 new windows in my kitchen - Carolyn intervened stating we didn't need that beam and she was right! Carolyn has a remarkable eye, and great ideas! Most of them very economical.

They are a mother daughter team who offer a range of interior design services. They help you rearrange your room layout, suggest a range of product ideas depending on your budget and pull together rooms beautifully. They are talented, personable and are refreshingly down to earth in their approach. Their resourcefulness sets them apart and make them the go-to design team in DC metro.

After having a fabulous experience with Design In A Day when we renovated kitchen a year and half ago, we hired Elizabeth Boland again for the master bath and master closet project. Her design ideas, creativity and thrifty knowledge on vanities, chandeliers and tile surpassed all of our expectations! It is simply gorgeous - who knew a painted geometric floor could look so spectacular in a closet and the baskets would seem like they were made for our bathroom! Both projects were remarkable transformations of space that were previously dysfunctional and unattractive. Thank you Design In A Day and Elizabeth!!!

I usually get online when I have an opportunity to write a positive review so I feel awkward writing this one but I think people considering Elizabeth's services should be aware of some facts. She came to my home for two hours back in the Spring as I was looking to redo several rooms and needed some direction on layout and recommendations on items/stores. She showed up a half hour late without a phone call/apology. I tried to get in touch with her to set another appointment. After not hearing back from her within 2 weeks, I sent another note as a reminder to say I was still interested and was curious about her availability. It has been well over a month. I feel like I wasted time and money and am starting over with another designer. While I get the sense that she is a great online shopper and can find you unique pieces on a budget, I was disappointed by her lack of professionalism.

I had a property that was not selling. In less than two hours the team transformed the house and I had a contract within a week.

Spent only a few hours walking my newly renovated space in my home- made a plan to rendezvous at Greenfront, chose items within two hours. Result can be seen on Elizabeth's portfolio titled Underwood! It was (and remains) a fantastic example of someone with a superb sense of how to pull things together.

Elizabeth and Carolyn have provided excellent advice on decoration including color selection, furniture arrangement, picture hanging and new purchases. They are the absolute best and I recommend them without reservation for any size of project.

For more than 12 years, I have not made a move in my house without Carolyn's advice. She is a one stop shop. From picking paint colors to moving furniture to renovating my kitchen, Design-in-a-Day has been my one stop shop. I couldn't live without them.

We worked with Elizabeth to redesign and remodel our kitchen. All we can say is --WOW!! She has a natural ability and flair for creating a wonderful, functional, and beautiful space. In addition to all of that, Elizabeth is penny-wise and finds ways to make the most of your space without spending the most amount of your design budget. Our kitchen is complete but we still rely on the expertise and amazing design eye of Carolyn and Elizabeth to continue to decorate and bring all elements of our home to a new level of looking chic and feeling comfortable. They are fantastic to work with!

Brilliant! Used several times across two homes and would not use anyone else. Caroline and Elizabeth bring tremendous creativity, spark, elegance, and most importantly, an understanding and respect for my taste as a client.
