Sustainable Design in Concord.

“As a photographer, I have seen multiple examples of Anna's design work and I think that she is first rate and gives excellent value to her clients. Her sense of style is consistent in each of the settings that I have seen of her work.”

“I hired Vision by Nicole, LLC to undertake an extensive design/remodeling project in our mountain house located in AveryCounty, N.C. The included the entire main living area (kitchen, laundry, dining, living, bathroom and bedroom), plus the stairs, and the upstairs master bedroom & bathroom. Founder & CEO Nicole Blackon was hands-on throughout the entire project. Her designs and plans plans were exactly in accord with what we were trying to accomplish. On points where we disagreed, in the end we learned that she was always right in knowing what would and wouldn't work. Her projecrt oversight was intense. She was immediately all-over any problems that came up. Her selection of materials was impeccable, and she was meticulous down to the tiniest detail in project completion. We are completely satisfied, and have resolved to use Vision by Nicole, LLC exclusively for any future projects.”

“Emily was very easy to work with and provided a service that I will never forget! She designed most of the rooms in my house and worked with me to stay within my budget.”

“Deborah and her staff are wonderful, courteous and extremely creative. The living and dining room window treatments they fabricated for us are superb and we constantly receive compliments on them ! Rigght now we are working on window treatments for the Master bedroom...I can't wait to see the fabric selection !h”

“I have worked with Kathleen Monroe on multiple residential projects, and have been very satisfied with the results. Her expertise has been instrumental in bringing out a high sense of quality and style. Her skill with color and materials selection is excellent. She is a delight to work with, very flexible, and well worth the cost. I highly recommend Kathleen Monroe Design.”

“Jody of Kathryn Lilly Interiors was not only professional, but treated me like family. From the initial walk through to the hanging of the final picture, Kathryn Lilly Interiors made sure every detail was in place. I laughed to Jody one day that it felt like coming home to a new house everyday because I travel for work frequently, and upon my arrival each room had been transformed. Jody not only focuses on the room as a whole, but also keeps budget in mind and every detail. Every pillow is handpicked, if not hand made to make sure the integrity and quality is perfect. I cannot wait to start my next project with her, and would recommend Kathryn Lilly to anyone looking for design or just to refresh an existing room.”

“It is my pleasure to write a recommendation for Geri and Freespace Design. I bought a house built in 1932 but love true modern, edgy, sharp design - something not typical in a 1930s house. I went through four different designer "interviews" before meeting Geri. I was immediately impressed by her first response email - she made a point of outlining her philosophy, and emphasized the relationship and communication component (no-one else had done this). I first engaged Geri to design my kitchen. Because I wanted something completely different, I only gave her minimal guidance - a handful of magazines with marked photos, a few emails about what I like, etc. She came back with an INCREDIBLE, cutting-edge design that wildly exceeded my expectations. She accommodated many environmentally conscious components and creative materials. She also provided excellent guidance on budget trade-offs (e.g., where to spend money, where to save). I know she spent far more hours on this project than her fee - she was with us the whole way, checking in, helping explain things to contractors, etc. I then engaged her for some basic staging of the living area next to the kitchen, and the front room. Once again, even though this was a far less complex request, she created a stellar concept. We are planning on building an addition in the next year or so, and I will definitely involve Geri, hopefully to a greater extent than I did with the kitchen. She is THE modern designer with whom to work in Charlotte, in my opinion - not the diluted contemporary style, or Southern modern, but true European sharp modern. Geri, thank you for your brilliance with what I needed - and I look forward to more in the future.”

“Do-Stage! did an excellent job helping my clients prepare their home for sale. They gave my clients clear direction on how to best stage their home. My clients listed their home and it sold very quickly. Staging certainly made a difference! Thank you, Do-Stage!”

“Jennifer and Cathy did a superb job of staging our house for us to get ready to sell it. They were not only professional, but also very personable. They had only a short amount of time to get our house ready for pictures and they went above and beyond to get the house completed on time. We are confident that their staging skills will help make our house appeal to a large group of interested buyers and make it sell quickly. In addition, their prices were very reasonable. I would not hesitate to recommend Bevy Interior Design for any of your staging or decorating needs.”

“Liz was a huge help in redecorating my living room. She really took my vision and made it a reality! She was extremely friendly, easy to work with and professional. She was also very creative and came up with a design that was perfect for my style based on my wish list. She worked well with the space I have and assisted in selecting the perfect shelving units to fit not only my needs but aesthetic desires.”
