Description of Work: Debbie arrived on time and from the moment she entered until she left 2.5 hours later (our agreed to timeline) she remained attentively focused as she carefully considered my design questions and shared many terrific ideas. I am very grateful for her help. I called her as I had several decorating dilemmas - ones that 'd been wrestling with for years such as: Should I paint /not to paint all the woodwork throughout this house? Any ideas for that strange looking fireplace in the living room? Do I paint the cabinets in the kitchen and if so, what color? What would be some really great colors to paint the downstairs? Debbie offered suggestions, gave examples, and together we arrived at answers to my questions that I know will be just right. In closing, Debbie is very good at what she does; I consider our time together money well spent. Mary

I bought the Big Deal for a consultation with Debbie from Talianko Design Group. Debbie and I talked and set up an appointment for a few weeks later, and she sent an email reminder the day before we met. Debbie was prompt and prepared. She toured the area I needed to decorate, and she made suggestions as we looked at each room. She sketched ideas for furniture groupings and suggested how to better use the furniture I was interested in keeping. Debbie even gave me some ideas about moving a wall to make the room more open. She followed up with a written report the same day we met. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
Description of Work: Debbie helped me pick out colors for my walls, suggested colors and finishes for my floors, detailed furniture layouts and even suggested some remodeling ideas to make my home more open.

Debbie and her associate were very professional and had great personalities. She was available to help with whatever I needed during our 2 hours session and helped me put together a 'game plan' for upgrading several rooms in my home (which is what I wanted). It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end and definately worth the investment!
Description of Work: Debbie and her associate came to my house for 2 hours and gave interior design and remodeling ideas for for primarily my living room, family room and kitchen. We had extra time so she also gave suggestion for 2 of the bedrooms. She was extremely informative and had great ideas, and also gave several "rules of thumb" for spacing and placement. Since interior decorating is not my skill set, it was really helpfull to have someone in person to ask questions and bounce ideas off of. After the meeting was over, Debbie e-mailed me a room by room write up of everything we discussed and also gave me referrals for several contractors.

I'm a single man and my house reflected that. I'm talking curtains pinned to the window, no table to eat on, etc... I have never really felt comfortable in my home, which I bought after a divorce a few years ago. I'm not all that gifted when it comes to design, art, clothes, etc....so, I decided to take advantage of Debbie's advertisement and see what happened. My house is about 1400 square feet, and I think Debbie is used to dealing with much bigger locations and more "high-end" clients, and I had the feeling she could have been done with the advice in 15 minutes and on her way. However, she stayed the full two hours and even a little extra. She gave me great ideas and we browsed furniture online that fit my budget. I never would have thought of some of the ideas she had, which is why I bought the deal! A day after her visit, her report arrived. It was easy to read, and summed up all her advice including the recommended furniture. She summed up the visit in the email that if I implemented these ideas, my place would become more of a home instead of a crash pad, which is exactly what it was. I fully intend to follow through with her suggestions. It was a great experience and I can't recommend her enough!
Description of Work: I bought Debbie's Big Deal, which was two hours of interior design consultation.

We met with Debbie in Feb. 2011. We had a problematic living room/dining room space that we had tried to work out, but had not succeeded. We liked her personality and her professional approach very much. She presented us with several creative design options using virtual design software. (Several times along the way she used this software and it gave us much confidence about the decisions we were making.) Upon presentation and discussion of the design options, we chose one and immediately she began to organize the project. From that time forward there was very little down time. The project proceeded under her management with few glitches. Her wonderful design became a reality in about 5 months, exactly her initial time estimate with no budget surprises. She's also an excellent communicator. There was never a moment when we were left wondering about anything. It would be a privilege to work with her again.
Description of Work: Debbie totally redesigned our living room and dining room, and partially redesigned our kitchen. Her expertise for our project included selection of color, architectural accents, window treatments, floor covering, hardwood flooring, lighting, furniture, accessories. She also designed a new fireplace for us and managed all contractors' work related to the project.

The customers were a joy to work with. They trusted me and my staff completely and I would like them to know that I do not take that responsibility lightly. The project was fun and I thoroughly enjoyed working with my clients. I hope that we will continue to develop the friendship that has already sprung from the work we've done together. Photos of this project will be available on our website later this month. For more testimonials from our clients, please visit the testimonials page of our website. Thank you.

Debbie did an excellent job guiding me in the right direction regarding colors and fabrics. She's very conscientious, punctual and kept the lines of communication open whether by phone, email or text. I have received numerous compliments regarding the look and quality of the window treatments and the rugs. I would not hesitate to use Debbie's company again, or recomment her to others. She did a great job following up after delivery, and worked with the companies to make sure everything was "just right."
Description of Work: Helped select materials and designs for window treatments and area rugs. Suggested wall colors as well.

Debbie is extremely skilled and has an exceptional sense of color and balance. She adapted her choices to my taste and existing style of furniture and rugs, and worked to enhance what we already had. Her color scheme for the house was particularly successful, with a resulting peaceful, but interesting flow from room to room. The curtains and blinds, also, enhance every room, and she worked within my budget and accommodated my taste.
Description of Work: Debbie designed a color palette for our entire house, coordinating each of the rooms; found reupholstering fabric for two chairs and a sofa, and arranged the work; chose and arranged the installation of blinds throughout the house; and chose design and fabric for curtains throughout the house. She did all of this under severe time constraints, and was flexible in finding fabrics and suppliers that could meet my time frame.

She listens to the customer and she is able to envision exactly what you want. I had a very unusual shaped room and it was very difficult to find furniture. However, with her great expertise she was able to find furnitiure and the best style of design to make the room look extroidinary. Just to give an example, when my husband came home and saw it, he was WOWed. Although the furniture is never something he would have picked out at the store he loved the way she put it all together. She is very easy work with and I will certainly give her a call next time I have another project!
Description of Work: I've been using her for the past six years for several design projects.
