3D Rendering in Hartford.

“Anna is a good listener, makes you feel very comfortable and easy to talk about ideas if you are unsure of what you wantand, at the same time adds her good ideas! The choice of colors, style and texture made my home exactly how I wanted, but I did not know how to get there. She has an easy going team of contractors that also works hard and on time.

“Elaine was a delight to work with. She was very responsive which was such a nice surprise when working with a contractor. She remodeled our kitchen, living room, and bathroom. I have champagne taste and a beer budget. Elaine was communicative, found great substitutes that were in our price range, and gave us a lot of choices. Any issues we have had she immediately responds and coordinates a solution within 24 hrs. Her team was really pleasant to work with.”

“We worked with Hartley & Hill Design to completely renovate and redesign our kitchen last summer. They were fantastic and we cannot say enough about how wonderful they were. We met with them and described the concepts that we wanted (functional and classic, keeping in mind that we like to entertain, but we have small children and a busy family life). They put together the design and sat down with us to explain their ideas very thoroughly and also run through the budget. They came up with a fantastic design that we never would have thought possible, incorporating very creative ideas, while still keeping in mind our budget as well as our personal preferences. It was a very collaborative process, with us being as involved as we wanted to be, but not feeling like we had to manage a project; they expertly managed the project for us! All of the subcontractors they hired were first class. The renovation was very well organized, there was consistent open communication, any hiccups along the way (as will happen in any project this size) were managed smoothly and effectively. Needless to say, we are thrilled with the end result. We can't wait to use them again soon to redesign our dining room/living room area. We would highly recommend them!”

“Jeanne was amazing to work with. This project was particularly challenging as we purchased a house from a developer mid construction so had to work with existing elements that had already been selected and blend them with our aesthetic. She helped us select everything: tile, plumbing fixtures, doors, hardware, lighting, counters, backsplash, paint and furnishings to create our dream home! Throughout the process she has been super responsive, organized, detailed, and just a pleasure to work with. We could not had a better experience!”

“Our experience with Caryn Paradis was excellent from start to finish. We had an unfinished basement that we wanted to finish and didn't know where to begin. Caryn talked with us in detail about how we wanted to use our basement and then came up with plans that included all of our needs as well as ideas that we hadn't even considered but should have. She was able to design a space that incorporated areas for everyone in our family, including our young son--even a stage that could be pulled apart for use as couches when he becomes a teenager! Because we live in separate states, Caryn was able to do much of the work remotely with minimal visits to our home to take measurements, etc. She had finish samples sent directly to us quickly and walked us through the decision making process. She designed specific requests, such as a fireplace for my husband and a guest room/office area. Caryn paid attention not only to the aesthetics of the job, but also the practicalities, such as outlet placement and HVAC. She also included amenities such as a well-placed dorm fridge which will come in handy when our son is old enough to use the space as a hang-out with friends. All in all, the job was smooth, well-designed and surprisingly painless. Caryn listened to our needs and then exceeded them. We would recommend her without reservation.”

“We were referred to Jennifer Michael Design by our builder, knowing she came highly recommended. In the throes of construction, my husband and I could not have had more different tastes or hopes for our new home. Hands down, working with Jennifer was the one of the best decisions we ever made. She was able to listen attentively to both of us and translate the ideas into gorgeous and thoughtful designs. Her assistance with visual imagery, sourcing of options, and guidance throughout the design process was more than we could have hoped for. The result of her help is a home that we are proud to call ours. She combined the aesthetic that we were looking for with the function that a family needs for everyday life, working closely not only with us, but with our builder to insure even the smallest details were perfect. She has been and continues to be a patient and knowledgeable resource for any and all questions that come up even now as we settle into our home. We have happily referred Jennifer to friends considering home renovations, and would recommend her talents and expertise to anyone looking to beautify their home.”

“I live out of state and needed someone to help me orchestrate the furnishing of my second home. Sue Jucker was definitely well suited for fulfilling my needs. She consistently goes the extra mile to satisfy the customer. She is knowledgeable and gifted in interior design. She knows the Ethan Allen product line very well and is consistent in being able to recommend the perfect room décor ideas. Sue managed to capture the look of my dreams and made the whole experience totally enjoyable and positive. I was blessed to have met her.”

“Deanna is an awesome designer/stylist who cares a lot about her clients and listens carefully to what they want. She's super professional and organized with a fantastic eye for style. For my dining room, she worked with a local furniture maker (Brian?) who fabricated the coolest custom table for us. Plus, she's fun to work with, which makes the creative SO much better.”

“We have been thinking about an addition to our house for over 8 years. We felt stuck and unable to proceed with plans because we could not make the floor plan "come alive". We could see walls and dimensions but the space lacked flow or vision. Silverwood Home Designs fixed that for us! Nikki was able to listen to our must haves and our big wishes and create a space that feels like home. We were referred to Silverwood Home Designs and are extremely pleased with the results of our new plan. We are a family of 4 which includes 2 small children (and a dog). Nikki was able to incorporate our current needs while also focusing on how we will want our house to grow alongside the children. She utilized the space appropriately and functionally keeping in mind storage and lighting. During the presentation of her plans, we were blown away how she was able to offer more than we had ever imagined. The best part, she made minimal impact to restructure the space and include everything on our wish list (and more!) I will recommend Nikki and Silverwood Home Designs to anyone looking to Remodel, Renovate or Design any part of their living space. In fact, we are already talking about bringing Nikki back to take a look at another area we want to update.”

“Working with Carly was fun as her ideas for tile in my bathrooms, foyer and kitchen created a look that brought joy to the finished project. Carley introduced me to different tiles that gave depth to my backsplash in the kitchen and color to the niche in my bathroom walk-in shower. Carley’s recommendations for every room in the house were used and it’s amazing how it all came together. I couldn’t be happier with the end result…..wouldn’t change a thing”
