Lighting Companies & Designers Near Santa Barbara

“Every morning I step into my kitchen and pinch myself. I hired Michelle to help me reimagine our kitchen in early 2022. The constraints were many - we had a modest budget and we were not changing the footprint of the kitchen or opening it up to the rest of the house, no new windows or doors. 

 Michelle’s ideas for moving appliances into new locations (this was in budget!) and how to plan out new working and storage spaces made an incredible impact. Guests step into our kitchen and tell me first how gorgeous it is, and then how much bigger and open it feels. On a daily basis I am continually amazed by how much more work space and storage I have in the same space as before. Michelle’s ability to smartly optimize your space is unmatched only by her incredible sense of style and design. 

 I also have a strong sense of design and know what I like, so I had prepped Pinterest boards for our first meeting. Michelle absorbed all of that input and came back to me with ideas that expanded and pushed on mine. She has a lovely ability to give and take that made the process so collaborative and fun. I loved her attention to detail and how deeply she considers textures, finishes, materials, shapes and colors when she is putting together ideas for you. On the business side of things she is a strong and prompt communicator. She worked well with our contractors and speaks their language. Billing was reasonable and easy to track throughout the project. I highly recommend Michelle for any interior design project and would hire her again in a second for my next project.”

“I cannot speak highly enough about this company. Antoinette Designs were absolutely amazing to work with. Especially Antoinette and Melanie. They made the process easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend this company. I am so happy with the final result!”

“We have been extremely happy with the quality and service provided by Steven Handelman Studios. In remodeling our 90 year old mediterranean home we needed high quality, period designed fixtures to enhance the beauty of the home. Steve’s designs were perfect and reflect the quality and craftsmanship we desired. The chandeliers, sconces, fireplace screen look beautiful in our home. Steve and Trisha are great to work with and truly deliver to satisfy the customer. Recently we needed a custom designed valance for our windows. Steve gladly worked with us and spent the time and provided the creative energy to take our ideas and transform them into a beautiful and functional valance design. We thoroughly enjoy working with Steve and would recommend him for the discriminating customers needs. J Ryan”
