Paula Stone Interiors

Description of Work: Paula came out and met with my wife and I and listened to our ideas and concerns about our home. She was very professional and offered several suggestions as to how improve the flow in our home. We have a very difficult main living area and her suggestions made a lot of sense.

Description of Work: We have benefited several times from Paula Stone's services over a period of time. Overall consultation. Guided me in selecting paint colors for every room in my home. Faux painted two brick walls in my garden room. Shopping to choose several pieces for various areas in my home. She is very pleasant to work with. She is also very good at what she does and practical. I loved the way she took some items I have and used them in another way that made a great impact in my decor. I absolutely will continue to work with Paula and would recommend her to anyone who ask. I think she is talented, knowledgeable and very creative and fun.

Description of Work: I used Paula Stone Interiors for a consultation on our renovation of our home.

Description of Work: I met with Paula to ask her advice on staging my home in preparation for putting it on the Real Estate market. I explained to her that my goal was to stage the house to look nice and appropriate for listing on the market, but that I was not willing or able to make any significant expenditures, and to please keep that in mind as we did a walk through the house.

Description of Work: Services performed were shopping for furniture and staging. Paula spent an hour surveying the four rooms involved for staging purposes and to get the right mix of furniture for each room. She looked at the space available and suggested ways to rearrange existing furniture to accommodate furniture that I needed.

Description of Work: Paula Stone provided interior decorating advice, assisted with picture hanging, arranging furniture, and continued to provide resources and advice throughout the weekend and days following her service visit on 7 Oct 11. My husband came home after Paula's visit and he was absolutely amazed and thrilled with the improvements made in 5 short hours with Paula's help and expert eye for details. No new furniture was added, but her well thought out placement of furniture made "eye candy" of beautiful antiques that were previously placed in areas where their beauty was largely unnoticed.

Description of Work: 1) Helped select material to re-cover couch. 2) Helped select colors for family room and kitchen redecoration

Description of Work: The most important thing Paula helped with was choosing paint colors for the interior of my home. She helped me decide how to furnish a room and the arrangement of furniture. She painted the brick of our family room fireplace. She took me shopping and helped me determine the correct size of a sofa and dining room furniture.

Description of Work: She assisted in wall color selection, redecorating and new furniture purchases. The painter she recommended was outstanding.

Description of Work: She came on April 6 and the 13th. She did a faux painting in our bathroom that we love. She did a painting consult to help us pick out paint colors.

Description of Work: Paula came to our new home twice...the first time was to help us select paint colors, and the second was to arrange art and furniture, and to provide general decorating advice.

Description of Work: Provided recommendations on furniture placement, what to buy, and chose colors for multiple rooms in the house. On a later date she went shopping with me for furniture for the family room. She chose things I would not have normally chosen and helped me buy things that were the appropriate style and size for the room.

Description of Work: I used the services of Paula Stone Interiors for some decorating and interior painting, about a year ago.

Description of Work: We were going to put our house on the market in March 2010, and before listing it I called Paula to help in staging. She was amazing! She pointed out that our art and decor would make people think of the house as "the Southwestern house" and not the house with the great views and large rooms, and she suggested removing all items that would catch anyone's attention. She even convinced my husband, who wasn't convinced we needed to stage, to put away his various collections of masks, planes, etc. Her charge for this was $150. After we moved into our new house I had a problem deciding which art to hang and where. She came out, I thought to give me advice, but she also hung all the art herself that day! She placed one large colorful piece in a space between and below two high windows that looks great and makes you almost not even aware of those two small windows! Everything she did looks wonderful.

Description of Work: The service provided was design consultation. Basically, I needed someone to tell me what to do with my house. I was totally lost since this was my first house. I have a small house that was built in 1954. I wanted the rooms to look spacious and I wanted to make the best use of the space. Also, I had a wall removed between the kitchen and living rooms and wasn't sure how to best combine the two rooms using an open area concept. The original house floors needed work and I did not know how to best solve that problem.

Description of Work: We have lived in our home for 25 years and have only updated our bathrooms. We wanted to do a good job of redecorating and be done for another 25 years! Paula went through each of our rooms with us and gave suggestions for furniture arrangement, paint colors, type of flooring, wall decorations, even ways to enlarge our small kitchen. She understood that we want good quality and nothing too trendy.

Description of Work: In February 2010 I purchased a 20 year old home that had not been updated in the ensuing years. I contacted Paula shortly thereafter as I quickly realized, that as a color challenged male, I had no clue what to paint anything. Moreover, while I knew that certain things like linoleum flooring and a hanging florescent box lighting fixture in the kitchen had to go, what to replace them with was an entirely different matter. Paula, demonstrating admirable patience and never once rolling her eyes, worked through her trusty paint chip file with me room by room to discover not only what would look great, but would be in colors that I liked. She gave me valuable advise on the kitchen lighting and helped me select flooring for throughout the house. She saved me quite a bit of money through the process as well, especially on the carpeting and in the kitchen (I had myself pretty well talked into replacing the cabinets due to the starkness of the kitchen, but she showed me how to resolve that problem with color elsewhere). I especially appreciated her deep knowledge of all sorts of esoteric and practical home decorating details from carpet manufacturing to tile cleaning. Throughout the process she worked diligently to determine what my objectives and likes were and to come up with affordable suggestions and solutions consistent with them. I was so pleased with her help on the remodeling front that I decided to use her to help me on the furniture front (for all practical purposes I had none when I moved in post the remodel) even though I thought I pretty well knew what I was going to buy. I quickly discovered that there were a lot of things that I had not thought about and alternatives and ideas that had not occurred to me. In the end, my furniture (while still in the style that I like) ended up being quite a bit different and a lot more fun than what I was originally thinking about. Entertaining guests with this furniture arranged in this particular way will be a breeze.

Description of Work: Paula was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. She immediately began questioning me to determine exactly what I wanted from her design services. She then went to work and made my dining room look likke it could be a picture in Southern Living. She also helped me to edit my liiving room so it seemed more organized and relaxing. She assisted my husband and me in selecting paint colors for our living room, hall,stairwell and master bedroom without any arguments between the two of us. I couldn't be happier with Paula's design services.

Description of Work: I called Paula because I had the floor of our atrium painted in a color that I chose myself and did not like. I am writing the report now because we just completed the work today (8/3/10). Paula and I sat on the floor of the atrium with her color samples, found three different colors that looked good, and decided to have the entire atrium painted using all three colors. She also made other suggestions, which we plan to do, that will enhance the space.
