Sustainable Design in Rydal.

“Where do i start?! Antonio is one of a kind when it comes to being an interior designer & leading any remodeling project that your heart desires. We used Antonio for multiple projects on our house (complete facelift of 4000SF home & main bath teardown/remodel). Before committing to him, we initially had a couple of meetings that helped set the stage in terms of what we wanted (and/or thought we wanted). Antonio was quick to understand the look/feel that we were going for & started to do some of the legwork in terms of colors, finishes, tiles, backsplash, etc...to help us visualize what the home could look like when finished (included plenty of his own renderings & created vision boards). He was always communicating with us and really went above & beyond in terms of making our decision-making easier. He was integral in helping us achieve our final look & truly understood our taste (but still provided feedback if a selection was an eyesore and/or did not integrate well with the final product). He was always open to input/feedback & made appropriate adjustments through the duration of both projects. We had to pivot a few times due to unforeseen issues but he was always on top of mitigating risks & ensuring we'd be happy with the final product. At no time did he pressure us to make hasty decisions even if it meant delaying closing out a phase of the project. His tireless research & materials savviness enabled us to make the best decisions in terms of materials & ultimately cost which can quickly add up on any large-scale project. His attention to detail is also what really stuck out for us as he ensured all contractors were able to meet our expectations. Overall, we were super happy with Antonio's work, dedication, vision, & judgment in ensuring that we'd walk away happy with the final product. I cannot thank him enough & look forward to seeing his work get the recognition & gratitude that it deserves!”

“We have had the pleasure of utilizing the design services of Chantal over the last several months. Her work has been focused on a compete update of our large, open floor plan two story home in Atlanta, GA. We are so impressed with her ability to merge our style with hers, and in the process, create a totally new look for our home. In our opinion, a successful designer should be able to bring a homeowner’s desires into focus while adding their own special flair to the final result. This takes listening closely, communicating and working tirelessly to bring it all together. These traits define Chantal’s approach and we highly recommend her to anyone considering an update or redesign to their home. Bill & Diane”

““I had the pleasure of working with Nehal on one of my home projects that I have been wanting to start which seems like almost forever ago. Nehal is super friendly and very passionate about the projects and work she takes on. She is extremely knowledgeable about a wide range of designs and really brings a unique perspective and a highly sophisticated eye to the projects she undertakes. I look forward to working alongside her on future home projects that I want to start. If you are looking for someone who has a creative eye and attention to details, flexible with your wants and needs and has good communication skills then I would highly recommend working with her. Thank you for helping me get one step closer to my dream home!””

“In addition to Keri's talent in design, she pays great attention to drawing out of the client what their ideas are so the final product is theirs and not hers. At the same time her expertise produces results far better than I could have imagined myself. She is sooo patient, -- efficient, helpful, and has good resources. Barbara”

“Jennifer is a true professional and goes above and beyond with every little detail of an upgrade. Will definitely use her again on my next project.”

“We booked Live & Gather for their “Designer by your side” services and had a wonderful experience! Starr was incredibly professional, creative, and patient, even with my constant indecision! She provided excellent recommendations on everything from paint colors to light fixtures and helped me narrow down my design styles to best fit our space. She gave me the space to change my mind while providing her expert opinion and I never felt pressured to go with all of her design recommendations. The light fixture in our living room and the modifications to the fireplace are everyone’s favorite upgrades and help to set our house apart from the other houses in the neighborhood in the best way! Overall a great experience and we look forward to utilizing their services as we continue working on our house.”

“Lori is the best! She has such a good eye for transformation. My room functions better and looks like a million bucks. Lori is very budget minded and was able to provide a superior product at an economical price. Each morning I get up and look at the fabulous bathroom she designed for us and say - "Thank you, Lori!"”

“I wanted to redo my kitchen, and intended to get rid of everything and start fresh. Denise and I talked several times, while sitting in my then current kitchen. She asked a lot of questions about usage, and what I wanted to be able to do with the space. I thought I knew what I wanted it to look like; however, Denise proposed some changes in floor plan and traffic pattern that I hadn't considered. I'm so glad I went with her ideas and am thrilled with the result. In addition, she was mindful of my tastes and budget. Many designers know what looks good, but don't take into account the clients needs and taste. Denise designed the kitchen, and did most of the shopping for accessories, granite, etc; however, it is my kitchen, and perfect for me.”

“Michael brings an international sophistication and collaboration to his design work that involves many products, professionals, and solutions for the benefit of his clients. Whether it is a simple solution or something more complex, single area modifications or whole home, Michael and his team can handle it. You'll enjoy working with Michael and his hands-on approach and the way he listens to his clients.”

“Mary Jo was a Godsend to us. When we first contacted her for our full basement renovation including the addition of a bedroom and bathroom, we were under an extremely short timeline. Although I knew making decisions in a short timeframe was far less than an ideal situation, she swooped in and came to our rescue! Her calm and professional approach and valuable input allowed us to efficiently make important and time-sensitive decisions about our remodel including paint color, tile and bathroom hardware selections. She delivered her expert opinions to us in a direct yet flexible manner and worked with our contractor in an extremely respectful and collaborative fashion. Despite the time crunch, she took the time to learn about our preferences and personal style and then made targeted recommendations to us. She was quick-to-respond to all our follow-up questions even after the 2 hour consult and was very generous with her time to help us finalize our selections. Our project was much-improved as a result of her expertise and targeted input and now that the construction work is done, I can see that our favorite aspects of the end product resulted from her direct influence. We recently started phase two of this project including seeking her guidance on furniture selections and placement and recommendations on things like carpets and window treatments. Now that we are able to work with Mary Jo at a more relaxed pace, we are really benefitting from her deep knowledge and expert input. Her “rules of thumb” are helping to determine the optimal furniture placement. When it comes to picking out rugs, window treatments and things like that, since she already learned our personal style, she is able to make targeted recommendations that really make the selection process easy for us. Instead of sifting through hundreds of possibilities, she is able to narrow it down to just a few solid choices for us. We are very grateful to have found Mary Jo. Her knowledge, expertise, direct communication and easy-going style have benefitted our project tremendously. She is our now our interior design guru and I highly recommend her!”
