Universal Designers in Orono

“We've had the opportunity to work with What's in Store Home and Design several times now and have found their work to be exceptional. Linda is creative and has great attention to detail. Her designs are both elegant and comfortable. We are now going to be starting our third project with them ~ our family room ~ and are so excited to see the end result. I just know we'll love it.”

“In the Real Estate industry, the first impression is crucial for a quick well priced sale. As a Realtor, I can’t stress enough the importance of a well staged home. Selling your home can be an emotional roller coaster and sellers can become quickly overwhelmed with endless “to do’s” to get their home market ready. Designing Durham along with their positive “can do” attitude has the vision, skill and expertise to transform any space into a real show stopper. My clients were amazed with the transformation and even more ecstatic to receive three registered offers within 48 hours of their home going on the market! Their home sold for 102% of asking! I truly could not have done it without you. Thanks for making me look so good! Your services consistently exceed my expectations and I’m extremely proud to recommend Designing Durham as my preferred staging supplier. A well staged home is half sold!

“Natalie Froom handled the entire project with care and with knowledge that helped us have two extremely well designed and most functional lovely bathrooms in all aspects. The entire project was handled and completed on schedule and whilst we were out of the country. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Tony and Phyllis Lasarow.”

“Recently I purchased my first apartment with my boyfriend. Because I had never decorated my own place before I was very confused with colour choices and on what wall each colour should be on. Lori was beyond the most helpful, patient and knowledgeable interior decorate I have ever come across. She explained to me how the sun can come in at certain angles making the colour choices I picked looking very different than the colour samples. Because of her she made our apartment feel like a home rather than a stepping stone till our next place. I couldn’t have done it without her help!”

“Over the course of the Spring of 2013, Revi Mula of Monaco Interiors helped us to design and renovate our basement. Revi was very easy to work with, very professional, and was a good listener. I had strong ideas of my own, and Revi was willing to incorporate them into the overall design of our space. At each phase of construction, Revi would create her drawings and then consult with us about them. We had a large, unfinished and open space, to start with. Revi hired only the best, most highly-skilled tradesmen to do everything for us, from the ductwork to the framing, drywalling and painting, electrical work, flooring, and everything in between. Revi cares about her firm's reputation and she will only work with people who are honest, hardworking and trustworthy and who do the job properly, and in a timely manner. The work space was kept clean, which mattered to us. We ended up with a very pleasing design for a practical work/play area that feels spacious and bright, yet uses every inch of space in a functional way. We now have an extra 3-piece bath, a closet below stairs, a walk-in pantry, a work/studio area, a beautiful seating/sleeping area with gas fireplace, book shelves and big-screen tv, and a games area as well as a new furnace room. Revi respected our budget and found us beautiful materials and furnishings that suited our style. Her tradespeople are very conscientious and and clearly have a good working relationship with Revi. She oversaw the work and made home visits at regular intervals for consultations and to check on the work. She maintains the highest standards for workmanship and final product, and any small problems were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Revi returned my phone calls and emails promptly, so our communication was excellent. I know that if you want good results, you have to work with people who take real pride in their work, and that's exactly what you get with Monaco Interiors. I would not hesitate to give Monaco Interiors the highest recommendation and have already referred them to some friends. We had a wonderful experience with Monaco Interiors and I would be delighted to work with them in future, should we need any more work done.”

“Affecting Spaces did wonders with my main floor renovation. Gillian's attention to detail and professionalism ensured I had a great experience. From concept drawings and plans to renovations and furniture selection, Gillian's quality of work is top notch. I would recommend Affecting spaces to anyone!”

“Very professional designer with excellent vision and full for amazing ideas for any budget. We love our new design! Highly recommended for any size project.”

“Chris from Velusina was patient with me and my requests. He worked with my idea's for what the kitchen would look like and added his own touches that I didn't realize wouldn't work. The Velusina crew were always on time and professional. Right now I'm just saving up so that I can get Velusina back to work on the rest of my home because the rest of the house looks incomplete. Thanks Chris for everything, can't wait to see what else you can do.”

“We hired Sketch Design Build to design our home. We were very satisfied with the firm's work. The plan were well thought out and they delivered on their timelines. Matt's customer service was also top notch. We highly recommend this firm!”

“ModernPlus did a complete redesign of our kitchen. Amazing attention to detail, knowledgeable about trends and products and incredibly responsive. Result has far exceeded all of our expectations. This company is full service: from designing new kitchen to following through in making it exactly as it was planned. I will highly recommend ModernPlus to anyone.”
