Connie Glazer Design

Not every designer has creative talent along with the ability to handle all the details of a major project. Connie Glazer is able to do both, and at the same time remain composed and professional. We hired Connie because of the way she responded to the style of our house in Santa Barbara. The style of our architect, Jeff Shelton, defies categorization and has often been described by reviewers as reminiscent of Gaudi “with a twist.” Connie understood from the outset that the interior design had to respect this unique architecture. We are so happy with what she did in the Great Room, which has a 16’ coffered, wood ceiling. Connie avoided the trendy and the predictable by doing custom designed upholstered pieces in profiles that lean from formal to whimsical. She paid attention to details and oversaw the construction of custom made pieces such as the oversized sofa and ten dining chairs, even inspecting how the springs were tied before the upholstering was done. For this project, she was pulled hundreds of fabric samples at LA design houses, got our approvals, had cushions and pillows made— and delivered as promised. Connie is also flexible. When my husband and I saw a ready-made breakfast table table we liked, Connie had a local finisher enrich the finish to give it the right character. Connie measures everything twice. She got the scale of the custom dining room table exactly right. She was also meticulous in managing estimates and budgets. She found ways to customize ready made linen drapes for a less important room to stay keep us within budget. I highly recommend Connie Glazer.

It has been such a pleasure working with Connie! Her incredible work ethic was apparent from the start; she's always calm, professional and kind in any situation - and yet she's still a strong advocate for her client. Connie made it a point to understand my needs and that's another reason she stands out from others in her profession - she could see I wanted a change and helped nudge me in a direction that incorporated a new, fresh look to my home that I absolutely love! She has a great sense of style and space, but really gets the practicality of a family home. I will continue to call on Connie for any of my design needs and would give her our highest recommendation.

Connie Glazer has been my designer for three of my homes and is the only interior designer I will ever consult again. Her level of knowledge, resources, skill and overall abilities were beyond what I expected when we started the first time I used her. Connie has an ability to see the potential that I would have never seen as well as the ability to read the client's needs and ideas and turn them into reality. She has a gift for being the liaison person between the client and the general contractor. She kept the project moving forward and was always available to solve the myriad of issues that arise during construction. I also found Connie to be professional, easy to get along with, extremely knowledgable and honest.

Connie is a professional through and through. We hired her to help us select artwork and furnish our home. Her expertise and contacts in the design and art world made completing our home a pleasure. She worked with us during and after a major repair to our home, which was a very stressful project. During construction, we often relied on her expertise to make important decisions. Her support during this stressful time was incredible and very reassuring - she always had good practical advice.
