“Planning for my later years with increasing physical diminishment, I used the building and design team of FAIRFAX DESIGN SOLUTIONS (Martha Fecteau and Sam Scott)) to undertake an extensive ‘Aging in Place’ remodel of my cherished home of 43 years. The remodel includes an additional powder room on main floor, creating a large master bedroom by removing a wall between 2 bedrooms, creating a large, extraordinary master bath with a 5x6 curb-less shower that includes a folding teak bench, moving W/D from basement up next to bedroom, and creating a beautiful office with built in cabinets in the old dining room. All suggested ADA/ fall prevention improvements were incorporated. Both Martha and Sam were terrific to work with. They drew on years of experience and collaboration, pulling together tremendous skill and craftsmanship in the design and execution of the project. They creatively grappled with modifications provoked by the nature of my 1955 house. They both have steady, calming personas.They were incredibly patient and accommodating to health challenges of my own during construction. Martha brought all products to me to choose from, saving me a lot of time and energy. Sam was on the project everyday — either managing the skilled laborers he brought in to do the plumbing, electricity, dry wall, tiling, etc. or crafting himself some beautiful, original wainscoting to dress up the new hallway. Martha and Sam’s reassuring skill, creativity, thoughtfulness and integrity made the remodel a blessing in every way. Marilu, McLean, VA”

“Shanon was very fun to work with. She help us update our old salon look to more modern style and our customers love it. The new waxing room is so relaxing, my clients never want to leave. They fall asleep in there! She also help organize our back-stock and break area. The staff can find products more easily and everybody is so happy. We will definitely hire her again for our next upgrade!”

“Judith understood my needs perfectly. She knew the colors I like and how to play with them and add contrasts. She kept recommendations under budget and was extremely responsive. I enjoyed working with her, hope you will too.”

“I have worked with Mindy on a number of different projects - kitchens, bathrooms and bars. She is very professional and well informed. She knows what offerings can enhance a space and with our combined knowledge we have made the most of a space.”

“I asked Paola to provide a design for remodeling my bathroom with the goal of replacing the tub with a shower. My only request was that she retain my Mexican hand-painted ceramic sink. As the room is only 5 X 7, she had quite a challenge to update the room, giving an impression of more space, on a very small budget. Her design was perfect. All the materials to be used were low cost but did not look low cost. The finished product was well within my budget and looks great. I get many very positive reactions from family and friends. It is very impressive.”

“My wife and I just completed a project with interior designer, Andrea Houck, president of A. Houck Designs. We were very happy with the end result of our living room, dining room, foyer, and kitchen breakfast nook. This was the first time that we had used an interior designer and Andrea was able to easily answer all of our questions and guide us through the entire process from design concept through installation. After initially speaking with us and finding out what we did and didn’t like, she was able to help us define our style and presented us with a number of different options for each room that we were able to refine and choose from. She also helped us to pick a unique color palette that coordinated from room to room and, importantly, easily fit with the rest of our existing home. We ended our project on a positive note with Andrea and we would recommend A. Houck Designs to anyone. Jason – Arlington, VA”

“Nancy and Bethany did a superb job redesigning The Yoga Connection! It is absolutely beautiful! They listened to my vision and successfully created exactly what I dreamed it could and should be. These 2 women are very professional by providing design boards with ideas of the furniture, colors, etc. and alternative looks. They also completed it in a very timely fashion from the drawing to the finished look!”

“Jamie is very professional and gave me several options on what I could do for my statement wall in the entrance way and my MBR and second guest bedroom painting and wall paper. Her team was on time, very neat and cleaned up everyday. She completed my projects in a timely manner and Jack and I were extremely pleased with the whole experience.”

“Linda Stotts of Interiors by Design did an excellent job in redecorating our home. She was wonderful to work with. Her knowledge of design concepts and implementation of a vision are unsurpassed. We especially liked working with Linda and her staff because they took the time to get to know us and our likes and dislikes. They then proposed design concepts compatible with our desires and were always happy to revise plans based on our input. The results are excellent and we now consider Linda a good friend. Martha and Larry Bourgeois”

“Sheryl understands what is needed and how to get it done! She is the ultimate professional who appreciates the importance of detail. I cannot recommend her work enough!”
