Stephanie Kusmer, Total Interior Designs, Inc.

"It is my pleasure to post this review regarding the services provided to me and my husband by Stephanie Kusmer from Total Interior Designs. From our first meeting through the completion of our many projects, there was an immediate connection. What began as a living room remodeling project, resulted in a refurbishing of our entire home. That's how good Stephanie is! She respected our preferences and blended our style/taste with fresh and classic furniture pieces and fabrics. Our interior is unique and totally us. We love it and so do all of our family and friends! Stephanie is dependable, prompt, she does her homework and, therefore, ALWAYS came to our sessions prepared, is a good listener, has an easy style about her, has a good sense of humor and her follow-up is impeccable"!

We have worked with Total Interior Designs over a stretch of at least 12 years. We have loved working with Stephanie and engage her services every time we have a decorating need. We have a turn of the century Victorian home and needed Stephanie's help to capture the feel of Victorian style, at the same time providing us with much needed updates. She has also helped us blend our eclectic art work with the older home style by using beautiful transitional framing. Her color sensibilities are impeccable! We have also enjoyed working with Stephanie because she listens to what we want (or what we THINK we want!) and works our ideas while also providing us with fresh options that had never occurred to us. Stephanie has worked on all of our rooms, and we love them all. We especially appreciate the way she integrates the look of the whole house, room to room, so the house has a beautiful, cohesive flow. We also appreciate Stephanie's attention to detail and the efficient way she arranges for the job to be done by her contractors (all of them excellent) in a timely and coordinated manner. We could not be more pleased. We trust her ideas so much, we had her design an off site office, and highly recommend her to our friends.

Over the past 5 years, Stephanie has helped me turn our 120 Victorian into a beautiful home. We started with the entrance hallway which she persuaded me to wallpaper - an idea that hadn't occurred to me. And she was right - it looks wonderful! She also chose light fixtures and arranged the artwork. We then moved on to the master bedroom - wallpaper and window treatments, paint and window treatments in the two other bedrooms, window treatments in the living room, dining room and kitchen, fixtures and window treatments in the second bathroom, and furniture placement, decorative touches and art placement for the whole house. No two rooms are the same, but with carefully selected colors and repeated themes, they complement each other and present an atmosphere of elegance and harmony. It was a joy to work with Stephanie because she really listened to my ideas and was tireless in working with me until we found the perfect item or design to for each project. The result is a gorgeous home that reflects my tastes. She knows her business thoroughly and was always able to find the right products at the best prices. The people she employed were always helpful, cheerful and thoroughly professional. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone who wants a gorgeous result that is unique and personal.
