Universal Designers in Peru

“When we made the decision to remodel our 1980’s, outdated, small, inefficient mauve and pink kitchen, we contacted Matt Welsh at Bouchard-Pierce to tackle the task. From our first meeting with Matt and all those that followed, he was a pleasure to work with. We were impressed with his creative design ideas, helpful suggestions, and his knowledge of the products Bouchard-Pierce carry. His challenge aside of modernizing our kitchen was to gain more kitchen space using the existing area, make it efficient, and somehow incorporate the top of a free standing butcher’s block made for me by my grandfather somewhere into the counter space. He exceeded our expectations while staying within what we had budgeted. We were excited with the Medallion hickory cabinetry, Cambria quartz counter-top, Vermont soapstone sink and appliances we ended up choosing with his guidance. In addition to his design expertise, he was patient while decisions were being made, was prompt in returning phone calls and emails, met deadlines, and deliveries arrived when he said they would. We had some adjustments that needed to be made to the appliances after installation, however, they were no fault of Matt's and the service department at Bouchard-Pierce made the necessary trips needed to correct the issues. This was our first experience using Bouchard-Pierce and we would certainly recommend Matt Welsh and Bouchard-Pierce to those interested in a kitchen design update or appliances. We are delighted with the results.”

“Pam and Chelsea exceeded our designer expectations and then some!. They are very talented designers and intuitively knew exactly what would work for our projects. They listened to our wants and needs and comfort zone, as far as fabric and furniture type, and nailed our projects. When the design was presented to us we did not change a thing. We now have a professionally decorated home... which feels like home. That is the ultimate compliment. We highly recommend Keeping Good Company. Pam and Chelsea were a pleasure to work with and we were thrilled with the outcome.”

“Michael Bird is a very talented and knowledgeable Architect specializing in Adirondack style homes. He designed our home and garage, obtained all permits, hired top contractors and supervised the entire construction and landscape project. The finished product is amazing. His attention to detail is impeccable. He and his staff are a pleasure to work with. They kept us up to date with progress reports and photos and met all deadlines. We are so very happy with the way our home turned out and would highly recommend Michael Bird and Adirondack Design. We will be working with Michael in the Spring of 2014 on a boathouse.”

“Sweeney Designbuild designed and built a freestanding roof over our cooking deck and redesigned our front porch and entryway. The staff and craftsmen are of the highest integrity and pricing was honest and open. The end results exceeded our expectations, which were quite specific. The attention to detail and professionalism were 5 out of 5 and an excellent rating is well deserved. It is a year later and we are still extremely pleased with the results.”

“Working with Mo and Bibi was a pleasure. They provided me with just enough guidance and goods to bring my new kitchen and redecorated bedroom to life. Mo's great taste and product lines at Addison West were perfect guardrails against my outdated aesthetic taking me down the wrong path or into dense forests of indecision. And Bibi's organizational and drafting skills proved to be invaluable in getting the job done efficiently and without too much duplication of labor on the contractor's side.”

“Elizabeth Herrmann's attention to the soul of her work and the spirit of the homeowner is a strength she possesses effortlessly. Add to that her eye for beautiful, efficient, unique detail and expert knowledge. Elizabeth is extremely pleasant to work with, as well.”

“Our company has had the pleasure of partnering with Andrew Volansky on multiple construction projects, residential and commercial, and most recently with the Volansky Studio, on a lakeside traditional Scottish style cottage. Andrew’s attention to detail and open-minded approach to design, guided the project, along with his ability to problem solve and communicate effectively. Upon completion, the home’s fine architectural details and finishes, combine modern convenience with cozy 17th Century charm. We hope to continue collaborating with the Volansky Studio on future projects and highly recommend their professional services to home owners.”

“We had never worked with architects and designers nor had we been through this type of home renovation project. We asked Brown and Davis to explain the process to us and help us understand exactly how it would work. They exceeded our expectations in that regard from introduction to construction finish. The design that they came up with took 100% of our functional needs and aesthetic direction into consideration and turned it into a modern, practical and livable space that we never could have imagined on our own. We couldn't be happier with our home and look forward to renovating a few more spaces in our home in the future with the Brown & Davis team.”

“Have worked with Ann numerous times over the years. Total professional. Own 2 homes, one in Rye and one in Lake Placid. Ann has outfitted my lodge in LP warmly, beautifully--from leather chairs to sofas to advising the exterior colors--red/green/yellow. She understood I wanted a funky cottage in the woods feel --and it feels like MY home. Ann also did extensive decorating on my more formal home in Rye, from huge window treatments to custom rugs, coordinating paint colors and faux finishes from room to room. I love all the fabrics and Ann spent innumerable hours with me at the D&D building in NYC. Lets not forget the lighting district! Wish I had another project....”

“Melissa designed a kitchen and vertical addition to my 1820 brick one-room schoolhouse in Vermont. She was super thoughtful to find ways to preserve the original timber framing of the roof while maximizing the interior space for storage, second bedroom and office. The kitchen is almost finished and is a dream to work in. I haven't done the tower/dormer construction yet, but I dream about it daily!”
