Universal Designers in Cohoes

“Thanks to Flatbrook, I LOVE my kitchen again. They transformed a small, uninteresting space into an modern, beautiful and ergonomically designed space that has become the central focus of the house. They were respectful of my time line and my budget and I highly recommend them.”

“I have worked with Frivilous Cottage Design over many years. My latest work was in the staging of my home as I was hosting my son's wedding brunch. The house really needed an update and Ms. Cashier guided me as I divested of dated items and added current decor, all with good humor and excellent taste. Ms. Cashier is always on time for appointments, meets all deadlines and has vision. I did not know that my home could look this good. The Capital District is lucky to have Frivilous Cottage Design in the region.”

“I’ve worked with Wyatt on a few projects. He’s been great. I highly recommend working with Martin Rose Homes!!!”

“Designed a screened porch with small deck and steps from the second to the first level. Completed all drawings for load limits on the roof change from different angles of the location.”

“We have had the pleasure of working with Conklin Architecture many times now and look forward to working with them on many more projects. Conklin Architectures' attention to detail is second to none. They maintain the ability to seemlessly blend modern architecture with classic, timeless designs. With quick, attentive responses to any question that might arise, you would think your project is Conklin Architectures' main priority at any given time. Without hesitation, we would recommend Conklin Architecture to any client.”

“I was the general contractor on a small log cabin remodel that Chris Vlcek of Littlewolf Architecture did all the design work for. Chirs is great to work with as a Contractor and The homeowners loved the finished product.”

“Michelle has done multiple projects for me starting with staging my house for sale and then helping me with my new house and then helping me with decorating my salon. Her ability to put a place together on a budget never stops to surprise me. Then she walks into a high end furniture store and knows exactly where things are and who to talk to for quick delivery. I love how beautiful my space has turned out to be and the endless compliments.”

“Working with Jenna at SAS Interiors was wonderful. We are a busy family and she worked with our schedule. Her ideas were fantastic! Jenna was also very open to hearing our ideas, as well. Jenna worked with us on our dining room, living room and stairs. She has excellent taste and very willing to go the extra mile. She also shared some cost saving tips too, which was very appreciated. It was an absolute pleasure working with Jenna. I would hire her firm again.”

“We had long admired the work of this talented duo (Ann McCallum and Andy Burr) and had especially enjoyed the success they had creating the Porches Hotel in North Adams, MA, which had a decidedly Mid-Century vibe. When we bought our little 1950's Cape in Williamstown we knew they'd be the perfect choice to update the house and convert it into an idyllic weekend and Summer retreat. Our goal was to remain true to the building's original mid-century roots and add a contemporary vibe at the same time. Working with a very modest budget, Burr & McCallum came up with a wonderful (and affordable) way to add a shed dormer, open up the interior, create a master bath and utilize standard materials (like Pella windows and IKEA kitchen cabinets) that gave us the look we wanted, yet stayed within our agreed to budget. They helped us identify and work with a great local contractor (Vince Martel) and were shoulder to shoulder with us throughout the process. They even brought a colorist in to ensure we got the bright, fun, cheery palette for the house that we desired. It was a really great collaboration -- they were wonderful listeners and always found a way to take our input and ideas and make them even better. In the end we got exactly the house we had hoped for and we credit that to the vision, talents and thoughtful approach that Ann and Andy use. I'm pleased to say that even though the house is a renovation and very modest in size and scope, it's been featured in Boston Magazine, Better Homes & Gardens and elsewhere. We can't say enough good things about this firm and recommend them highly.”

“We've use Pam for two major renovations and numerous small projects,ideas and general help situations. The first was a total renovation and when we had to fire the GC, Pam stepped in and completed the work. The second major work, a lessor renovation 20 years later, is near completion and she and her team has been great to work with. We find her responsive, resourceful, and creative where we needed creativity. This has been not only in the design phase but also in participating and managing the actual implementation of the design. We've recommended her to friends and acquaintances many times.”
