Design Consultants in South Barre

“In desperate need of extra storage space and wanting an upgrade, planning for our kitchen began. We came across Supply New England just prior to Thanksgiving. Fortunately for us, they were having a Black Friday special. After speaking with Norm and having him visit our house we were already sold. Norm was thorough, professional and had great design ideas for our kitchen. We worked with him to decide our direction and Norm went to work bringing our new kitchen to life. I can't say enough about how impressed we were. Cabinets, granite counter tops, back splash tile, sink and faucet were all ordered. When our contractor saw the detailed plans and had them reviewed with Norm, there were no questions as to what needed to be done. Needless to say, we are VERY happy with our kitchen. And the Black Friday special made our upgrade very affordable. In fact, it will bring us back for phase 2 of changes.”

“From the initial discussions all the way through installation and beyond, I could not be happier! Professional, reliable, honest, just an overall top notch experience”

“This is not a typical review, but our association is unique and I trust that yours would be the same if you were to select Irene Design as your consultant. We met Irene at a home show. We had been thinking about remodeling the interior of our home, but wanted a design consultant to work with us. We contracted with Irene Design to be our consultant. During the first visit to our home to take pictures and discuss with us, what we liked and disliked, I pointed out to her that the carrying partition on the first flow did not run parallel to the outside wall. Thus, any pattern in the flooring would also appear to diverge from the wall. Irene, immediately suggested that the tiles be installed at a 45 degree angle, which totally eliminated the problem. We then continued to work with Irene on the layout of the bathrooms, the wallpaper selection and the carpeting to mention only a small portions of the interactions we had with her in arriving at a design that met our needs and tastes. We had differences with Irene, but in each case Irene was always open to our suggestions. We would sit and discuss the pros and cons of each change and were always able to arrive at a decision that best met our needs. Once, we had finalized the design, we prepared a bid specification setting out exactly what we expected the contractor to do and what we would supply. This bid specification was given to 4 separate contractors including Irene Design. It should be noted that Irene had assured us that she would work with whichever contractor we selected to assure us that the design, such as the tile layouts in the bathrooms would be done as she had planned. While all four contractor bids were fairly close, Irene Designs bid was slightly less, so we selected them to perform the construction. At the same time we had also contracted with an electrician and a painter/wallpaper hanger. The electrician did an excellent job, however the painter made some serious errors in prepping the stair case walls for papering. After several attempts by the paper hanger to repair the problems, it became evident that all the paper in the stair case would have to be remove, the wall repaired and primed correctly and then repaper the whole area. Irene Design, on learning of this said that they would do the repair work at cost to help us out of this difficult situation. For these reasons, we highly recommend Irene Design if you are considering a remodeling project. If you would like to discuss our experience with Irene Design, we would welcome your calls”

“Renovating a kitchen is no small matter, it is a process that requires a professional that is knowledgeable, trustworthy, efficient, and patient. Lisa at Kitchens by Chapdelaine is all that and more! She was a pleasure to work with and exceptional in the kitchen design arena. I would highly recommend her. Our house is a 18th Century reproduction of the George Ward House in Lakeville, Massachusetts. Lisa designed the kitchen knowing that we wanted to keep the spirit of that time period. She transformed our kitchen into a room that is beautiful, functional, and timeless. We welcomed her expertise, especially when it came to her fine eye for details. I am looking forward to working with Lisa on a bathroom renovation soon.”

“Very patient with her designs and working with homeowners. Stays involved throughout and truly cares on the outcome. Insightful, truly competent and EXCELLENT!!!”

“A first class act from start to finish! Transformed this old country kitchen into a beautiful state of the art modern living space. Pierre's attention to detail and his design knowledge were outstanding! We strongly recommend Newton Kitchen & Design!”

“Great to work with!! ”

“We hired Maria to re-design our master bathroom, laundry room, and master closet in the spring of 2007. She provided excellent written documentation of the scope of the project, detailed graphics of the proposed project and accompanied me to sale rooms to choose the various components of her design. She was able to design an excellent option for our laundry room to allow for the inclusion of a new utility sink and a folding area with wall cabinet above (using a hinged counter top and magnetic cleat). Initially she proposed using a general contractor that was not licensed in MA so we chose own contractor but she was able to work well with him in executing the design. Overall, a great job.”

“My kitchen was updated. I am overjoyed with the final product. Customer service was above and beyond anything I have experienced in a very long time. I will and have recommended Flooring and Kitchen Designs of Littleton to all.”

“Craig redesigned our bathroom for us, something we had been wanting to do for some time. Even though he generally works out of Massachusetts, he helped us find a local contractor, and was always available for calls and hand holding through the process! His taste is exquisite! Our bathroom turned out great! We get many complements on it. Craig himself is a great guy. I highly recommend CHC Interiors!”
