Rochelle Umale, a Smith & Noble In Home Designer

I met Rochelle when she was a retail designer years ago. I know what I want but did not know how to transform my vision to fruition. Rochelle was very patient in getting the information she needed from me to understand my aesthetic. We worked closely together on my living room from the floor plan, furniture selections, fabrics, paint colors, drapery and accents. She was my go to for everything design related from the right frame finish to the type of lamp required, and even how high my mirror or artwork should be! She went so far as painting the focal artwork herself when we could not find the right one elsewhere. She is full of innovative ideas that make sense and made the normally overwhelming process easy and simple. It took some time as we did the project in phases but the end result was exactly how I envisioned it and more. I was so thrilled that I gave her complete control to design my Dining, Family room and office. It has been years and we still work on projects (we are currently working on my master bedroom). We have become friends over the years and I look forward to working with her on future projects.

We've had the pleasure of working with Rochelle on previous projects. We always appreciate her knowledge and expertise. She always brings innovative design and new ideas to the table. We always look forward to having her help in some of our projects. Truly a great asset.

Rochelle's exceptional ability to take on any project and really transform the space is what makes her stand out. Her attention to detail and focus help to bring the vision to life. It is her confidence and knowledge of design that makes her the perfect candidate to handle any project. I would gladly recommend her to any client and have the pleasure of working with her on several spaces.

Rochelle is just fantastic! After she helped us completely refurnish our living room and den, she then saved us from our worst nightmare - accessorizing. She's incredible. She understood our budget and never wavered from it. She recommended a wonderful assortment of higher-end pieces, along with less expensive accessories that look every bit as high end as the other pieces. She takes the time to understand your stylistic preferences and comes up with great ideas based on your taste. Honestly, we can't recommend her highly enough.

Rochelle is AMAZING! After my divorce I was living like a college student...until I met Rochelle. She helped me furnish and style my new house from top to bottom. From furniture, rugs, accessories, window shades and three custom paintings, two of which she painted herself. She oversaw the whole project and made it stress free. I now smile every time I walk into my grown up house! Thank you Rochelle!
