Interior Analysis

We had bought a newly-built house a few years ago and had completed everything except the master bedroom/bath suite. The entire space was 60' x 20' and we had no idea what to do with it. We had several interior designers and an architect come and give us suggestions, but we weren't happy with any of them. We then took advantage of Allan's $100 consultation and in the first 15 minutes he had already given us more original ideas than all the other consultants combined. Once we decided on a plan and a budget, Allan went with me to pick out flooring, tile and other building materials; he also went with my wife to choose fixtures, wall coverings, paint, etc. During construction Allan visited often and interacted with the contractors, ensuring that they were performing quality work. Allan has a unique (at least, for me) way of looking at empty space. We were so concerned about not breaking the space up so that it looked forced and also not leaving it so wide-open where we would have to buy a lot of furniture. In the end, the areas flow together naturally, there is lots of space but not really empty space, both rooms are very functional, and we didn't have to buy any furniture. Allan kept us completely within budget, and in fact, what we saved in materials and fixtures (Allan knows where to buy things!) probably came close to his consulting fee. All in all, we are completed satisfied with his work and would recommend him highly. We will work with him next year on redesigning our living room and kitchen areas.
