She was great. She gave real practical ideas of how I could make my dream home a reality. She was prompt and she gave me ideas that would save money. She even gave me suggestions to help save on the time o would need to consult a designer (her). I would definitely hire her again.

Denise has impeccable interior decorating skills and she assisted in making a traditionally decorated colonial home feel contemporary using colors and lighting. I had a budget and she helped me make decisions on the changes that would drive resale potential. Denise visited my home several times, recommended (never pushed) contractors and stayed in touch consulting on light fixture placement through the end of the work. Denise has a passion for decorating and I highly recommend her services.
Description of Work: Design consultation on overall home interior. Assistance in selecting paint colors, light fixtures, and window treatments.

She met with us in our home several times, discussing our preferences and providing floor plans of possible furniture arrangements. She helped us choose the color and pattern of the wallpaper and located an area rug whose pattern matched the wallpaper pattern. She accompanied us twice to a furniture store and advised us on the selection of two recliners and a sofa to coordinate with an existing recliner. We had a problem with fabrics being out of stock and she was very helpful in finding other fabrics we liked. During the entire time she assisted us, she was available, responsive, prompt and professional. Her services were well worth her fee. We have no reservations about recommending her.
Description of Work: Denise provided recommendations concerning the décor of our family room. This room had old wallpaper and wall-to-wall carpeting. The carpeting had recently been replaced by hardwood flooring which was the basis for redecorating this room. She gave us recommendations concerning the wallpaper, the style and fabric of new furniture, the furniture arrangement and the finishing of the room.

Denise provided excellent interior design advice for remodaling our kitchen, painting majority of interior, carpeting family room and stairs, and displaying artwork. She's an excellent listener and skillfully tailored her advice to our to our tastes. She was enjoyable to work with and always patient as we slowly mulled over various decisions. We chose to use OnSite General Contractors which is owned by Denise and her husband and we were not disappointed. We could not have asked for more detailed, high quality construction. Finally, we ordered our kitchen cabinets, sink, faucet and hardware and family room bookcases from The Home Store, also owned by Denise and her husband. The Home Store also provided excellent service. We will unquestionably use Denise for future projects.

We have used Denise several times and have been quite pleased. She's very pleasant, accommodating and listens carefully to your preferences. Her sense of color is outstanding. We know other people who have used her services and they say the same thing. In addition to recommending options for decorating she had also provided us with excellent contractors. Recently we remodeled our kitchen. Denise helped us with selecting the paint color, granite, and wood flooring and arranged for the various tradesmen necessary to complete the project. Throughout the process she stayed in touch with us, checking on the progress and answering our questions. Things went very smoothly and we love the results.

When I asked her to limit my choices to 3 items to keep the project from becoming overwhelming, she was able to do that with items that were all to my liking. She listens to the customer and is able to meet your needs without her own influences - unless you ask for her opinion. She was fabulous to work with and I am very pleased with the completed project. I look forward to working with her again.
Description of Work: I was in desperate need of remodeling the kitchen and family room. Denise was amazing in helping me choose colors, cabinet styles and flooring. She met me at the granite supply store to choose the slabs. If there were any glitches in the project, she addressed the problem and corrected issues quickly. She has great contacts as far as general contractors and fabricators. She did not disappoint with any of her suggestions.

I was having a lot of difficulty trying to pick out colors for my living room, dining room and foyer that would make my house feel warm and inviting. I finally gave in and went to Angie's list for help. I saw Denise's name and liked what others said so I called her and we set up an appointment. She arrived on time and we began our color search. After looking at the areas to be painted she looked at her swatches and found a couple of beautiful colors that fit into what I was looking for. She answered all of my questions and offered suggestions on how to bring colors into the other rooms. After the painting is done I am going to set up another appointment for her to help me with accessories. she was great to work with and I highly recommend her.

She was punctual. She was extremely creative, reasonable in prices and helpful. I could call her for a quick question. I would use her again. NOTE: Denise and her husband also own a storefront called HOME STORE where they feature different products like sinks and tile and so forth. They also have contacts for installers of such things. I found it to be a great resource and recommend her service.

I was getting new siding and a new roof. I had small samples of the siding colors and a larger sample of the roofing colors. It was very difficult trying to picture how the different colors would look on the house from these small samples and since I was spending a large amount of money (to me) on siding and roofing I didn't want to make a bad choice and then regret it every time I looked at my house. Denise came out to my house. We took the samples outside to look at them. Denise's guidance on selecting the colors for the roof, the main color for the siding and the trim color as well as all the door colors was invaluable. We also talked about the size of the siding panels (which would look better 4" or 5"), and other trim options, as well as how to handle the gutters. I am so very happy with how it all turned out and have received wonderful comments about how good my house looks and how great the colors turned out. I would also add that Denise was very generous about answering a few followup questions I had after our meeting. Denise was easy to work with and she would be my first choice for any other projects I might have, that have a design component.
Description of Work: Looking for design assistance with new siding and a new roof.

Denise arrived on time and with a big smile. Right away you could tell that she was friendly, enthusiastic and professional. She listened carefully to our likes and dislikes and got right to work. It was amazing how much advice she gave us within the hour. Believe me, we got our money's worth. Not only did she help us select a bathroom color, but offered suggestions for accesorizing the room. She was also open questions we had about the rest of our house. By the time she left we not only had a color for the bathroom but the living room, dining room and family room as well. In addition to leaving a 4x4 sample of the colors we selected, she is ordering larger color samples and having them mailed to us. This will give us a better idea of the colors and help confirm our choices. In addition to all the great ideas Denise had for our house she was also able to give us the names and phone numbers of people she had used and would recommend for painting and carpentry. Denise was great to work with and we really valued her honest opinions and practical solutions.

We were very happy with the result. Not only do we love the way the nursery turned out, but Denise helped us finish spaces that have been unfinished for years. We hesitated to hire a decorator because of the extra expense, but we believe we actually spent less money overall. Just by re-arranging what we already had, moving items to different locations and even raiding our storage area in the basement, we found that the things we had were already what we needed. We ended up buying fewer new things because we utilized what we had in a better way. Working with Denise is like having a very stylish friend come over to help you out. She also was always keeping us in mind and offering suggestions via email. We couldn't be happier with her, our new nursery and our newly updated house and would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to a friend!
Description of Work: Denise was hired to help us decorate a nursery. She helped us with color choices, painting, wall decor and pulling the entire concept together. She also went room by room through out our house and helped us tweak where needed and finish spaces that still needed work. She helped re-arrange furniture and offered suggestions on finishing touches.

Denise is outstanding! She presents her design concepts in a very professional way. She really listens and was able to acheive the look we were searching for but would never have been able to accomplish on our own. Denise is a pleasure to work with. She has a real talent of knowing "what works" and "what doesn't". Excellent value in avoiding decorating missteps that can waste time and money. We got better service and pricing from vendors by working with Denise.
Description of Work: Redecorating and updating living room and dining rooms. We worked with Denise over a period of months to select new furniture, paint, window treatments and artwork while incorporating existing furniture into the new look. She repurposed much of other furniture and artwork to other rooms. Denise accompanied us to furniture stores and shopped for other decorative items. She charges $75/hr.

Denise was extremely helpful. She understood perfectly the look we were going for and immediately pointed out things we would never have thought of. She was very aware of time and was exceptional at helping us focus on details and make decisions we are very happy with. Decisions which would have taken us weeks to make on our own she guided us to make within an hour. We are so happy with our experience we plan on asking for her help in the future for other projects. We are very pleased.

I first met with Denise in October 2007 and have worked with her periodically ever since. In 2007 we moved from an older house to a newer one that needed extensive redecorating. We needed to make decisions about what to keep and what to buy new, along with a whole new updated color scheme. Denise was a wonderful sounding board and resource person when it came to putting everything together, wall colors, carpet colors, furniture, lighting and window treatments. I had always wanted to work with a decorator and she was the best, always helpful, professional and a pleasure to know. We have received many compliments on the decorating and I tell people she was worth every penny in saving me from making costly mistakes.

The three colors that she chose for the exterior of the house a few years ago still get complemented for increasing the curb appeal. She helped me pick the colors that will help me sell the house in a year. Also, when the painting is done, I will have her return to stage the house.
