Portland Maine, ME Living Room Design Professionals

“If you are interested in transforming your kitchen (or any room) into a magazine quality design, hire Lisa Hincher/The Good Home as your designer/project manager. We began working with Lisa on a master bedroom decorating and bathroom renovation project. We were so pleased and delighted with her work that we decided to hire her to orchestrate a major kitchen renovation. She connected us with the very best contractors/custom woodworkers and brought to life ideas that we would never have thought of or considered without her help. She made a complicated and very in-depth process seem effortless. In three months of working with her she *never once* dropped the ball and exceeded our expectations time and time again. Her connections in the industry are invaluable. We have heard so many negative stories about contractors but the people that Lisa brought to this project were the most hard-working and reliable individuals that we have ever encountered in this field. The end result is a truly breathtaking space that we enjoy greatly. I feel confident in recommending Lisa wholeheartedly. She is creative, thoughtful, detail-oriented, well-connected and just a great person to be around.”

“Vanessa's creative approach to design and outstanding sense of style is inspiring. As an artist who has collaborated with Vanessa on several occasions, it is a great pleasure to work with such a passionate and professional individual. The paintings Vanessa had commissioned for her various projects were the perfect design accents to not only pull the spaces together, but to showcase my artwork beautifully.”

“I truly enjoyed working with Chad. He is a very talented and professional designer whilst making it look effortless. He completely designed my downtown condo keeping it within my budget and was very conscientious of my time and personal style. I would definitely recommend him to a close friend. He is doing another project for me this spring.”

“After using Stephanie to help with the interior design of our first home in 2013 there was no doubt in my mind that we needed her expertise again as we took on another home project. Her knowledge of product and her eye for design is a fantastic combination. She truly takes the stress out of the design process and makes it fun. She is able to listen to you describe your vision and turn it into reality. I would never attempt a project without her by my side!”

“Sharon immediately had a vision for transforming our home with color, warmth and charm. She really understood our tastes and needs, and the results are unique and effortless. Sharon challenged me to experiment with richer colors and her instincts are keen and undeniable. Her attention to detail, selection of materials and contractors all inspired trust and confidence. She always kept our budget and time table in mind, which allowed us to upgrade every room in our house while focusing on the major renovation in the kitchen, and construction of our new master bedroom and bath. I always look forward to working with Sharon; she comes prepared and makes the experience a lot of fun. There is a peaceful and welcoming feeling upon arriving at our home, and I have Sharon to thank for her inspiration. Ariel Wellesley, MA”

Claire is a true professional who consistently meets deadlines and budgets. We were very impressed with her quick grasp of what we envisioned for our kitchen. Although we decided against doing the project, Claire would have been our first choice.”
