Stephanie made the experience fun, exciting, and easy. And her $50 initial consultation, along with 20% commission was extremely reasonable for her time and effort spent. She went with me to pick out fabric. She got all the drapery rods, etc., based on my specifications. She took the fabric to the workrooms and picked up the finished products. She personally covered two benches in my bedrooms. Window covering installation was quick and efficient and all of this was included in her reasonable prices. For the polished look we got, Stephanie's prices are a real bargain.
Description of Work: We just moved into a new garden home in SW Arlington and all our "naked" windows needed window treatments. Stephanie was crucial in helping me pick out the correct type of blinds for the utilitarian portions of our new house, like the garage and utility room. But where her real flair and expertise shone through was her designing of our bedrooms and great room with gorgeous Roman shades and drapes. In addition, she had new, coordinated duvettes made for the bedrooms. The finished products look like something straight out of design magazine. She accompanied me to the fabric story and together we picked out coordinating fabrics for the duvettes, Roman shades, along with pillows and coverings for benches. Her taste is exquisite and she has an unerring eye for coordination, along with an occasional "pop" of contrasting fabric. Not only is she an expert at color, she considers texture, and weight of the various fabrics. In addition, the installation of all the window coverings, blinds, Roman shades, and drapes was professional and quick and easy, which was an added bonus. Very happy with the result in our new home. Feel like we're living in Home Beautiful!

She picked out things, but I had another individual do the remodeling.
Description of Work: The amount I spent included wood flooring, tile and carpeting. Stephanie also did some decorating consulting(choosing paint colors, flooring, furniture arranging). She was very professional, but friendly. She was also prompt, dependable and knowledgeable. I would highly reccomend her services.

My wife and I would not hesitate to use Knotty Pearls Design and Event Planning again and would recommend Abby and Stephanie to anyone looking for interior design work. Their assistance has been both professional and excellent!
Description of Work: Abby and Stephanie at Knotty Pearls Design and Event Planning, LLC did an outstanding job with updating and renovating my our bathroom and kitchen. My wife and I live in a house with a very outdated master bathroom and kitchen. We have wanted to focus on redoing our master bathroom and kitchen for some time but were unsure what upgrades to go with and how to stay within our budget. Abby, who is a licensed interior designer, was extremely helpful with assisting my wife by picking out new finishes that were exactly what she was looking for. While Stephanie, was crucial to helping us stay under our budget by getting us discounts on granite countertops and flooring. The total cost for their services, came to approximately $800. Which I found to be very reasonable considering the amount of time and detail they spent to make sure everything was to my wife's and my specifications. Also, the discounts they were able to provide for the cost of materials helped us stay under our budget.

She was very professional and did a very nice job for us. She offered some suggestions and drew up a little diagram. We are still not sure what we want to do so that was the extent of the work that we did with her. She didn't actually go ahead and get what she suggested. She was on time and came when she said. She seemed very easy to work with.
Description of Work: We used S Davis Interiors because we were interested in lighting for the dining room.

Description of Work: Stephanie had performed more extensive interrior design work for me in the past -- see my original postings and she did a great job with reconfiguring our bathroom and window treatments, etc. This time, however, my scope was more limited. My husband and I live in a small condo with an unusual configuration for the living room space and one that does not use the fireplace as a focal point. Since we had gotten new fireplace doors for our fireplace this past year, I wanted to focus more on redoing our old furniture in the space we had available, while utilizing the space to the maximum for seating issues that we'd had in the past. Stephanie was crucial to assisting me about how to reconfigure my space and helping me find the right furniture to purchase for the living room. I paid her consulting fee of $100.00, which was very reasonable, considering how much I spent on the living room furniture that she and I decided upon. I've used her before and would use her again when we do any more updates or redecorating. Her assistance has been both professional and excellent!

The consultation meeting was free, as Stephanie met with me to determine my goal for reshaping the living room. She then very promptly followed up with a formal presentation to assure her vision aligned with what I wanted done. After we agreed to proceed, Stephanie set a time table when each phase of the project would be complete along with a detailed budget of the costs of furniture and finishes. I received the first invoice about a week after the initial meeting and another one once the project was complete. We where able to stay on schedule and she was able to save me some money on the furniture I wanted through a distributor she knew. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased!
Description of Work: S Davis Interiors completely renovated my very outdated living room. She took the time to assess my wants and needs and offered a FREE consultation so it wasn't any money out of my pocket to initially meet with her. I was ecstatic with the overall quality of her work. Her vision and creative ideas brought a comfortable but vibrant room together where now I'm not ashamed to have company over! She was also able to incorporate new furniture she helped pick out by bringing it together with existing sentimental family pieces that I wanted to keep on display. I would highly recommend S Davis Interiors for your next renovation or design project as she is very friendly and easy to work with.

Overall, I was very pleased with her services, she showed up on time and returned all my calls promptly. Her initial consultation fee was only $50.00 and then she will charge extra if she goes and finds fabrics or paint, etc. for you, which is a great service if you're really busy. Or, as in my case, I work full time and I'm also currently somewhat handicapped as I just had knee replacement surgery this spring. Ms. Davis, when we downsized and moved to our small condo, came up with the idea of taking out the outmoded tub/shower combo and putting in a state-of-the-art tiled shower with additional cabinetry built on the back side of the shower for much, much needed storage space in the bathroom. She assisted us with tile selection, paint, fixtures, and accessories for the bathroom redo. In addition, she helped me pick the granite for my kitchen upgrade, along with the coordinating tile and pattern for the backsplash. She was more than happy to run errands, show us where to find bargains, etc. for a minimal fee. Then this summer when I wanted to redo my living room, I called her again and she helped me locate seating that would fit our unusually configured living room, as well as assisting with fabric swatches, and painting tips/colors.
Description of Work: Actually, I'm recounting the last time I used Ms. Davis' services to help me coordinate colors and fabrics and paint for my living room redo. I've used her services in the past, too, when she helped me to re-configure and upgrade a smallish bathroom and to pick granite for my kitchen, as well as the back splash pattern for the kitchen.
