“Brooke is the best! We had the absolute pleasure of working with Brooke Probst Interiors on a remote project for our rental property in Brooklyn, NY. Given our busy schedule, we opted for a Zoom-based collaboration, which turned out to be both convenient and effective. Our project involved a complete renovation and gutting of the bathroom in our 1890's Brooklyn townhouse. Our primary goal was to create a bathroom that would be renter-friendly while maintaining an authentic feel in line with the home's historical period. What we particularly appreciated was the creative process and the array of options that Brooke presented while staying within our budget. With Brooke's expertise and incredible sense of possibility, our vision was brilliantly brought to life! We highly recommend hiring Brooke for all your interior design needs. Her work (vision, style, and professionalism) exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Brooke, we can't wait to work with you again!”

“Amazing and awesome to work with Sutherland Designs! Attention to detail, extremely organized, creative, professional, and top quality. Shelly, is a gem to work with and has a beautiful heart! She made our dreams come true, in the most beautiful way! I will use her again and again! :)”

“Emmy was contracted to design the Youth Playroom at our shelter. In creating the plan; she was intentional about understanding the function of the space as well as our vision for it. When we were unclear about our vision; she worked to give suggestions of directions we could go in. She worked within our budget to find pieces that were functional yet aesthetically pleasing. Throughout the entire process, Emmy was professional and communicated consistently to ensure we were satisfied with her services.”

“Donna is terrific. She is creative, flexible, responsive, enthusiastic, and a real joy to work with! We feel very fortunate to have found her.”

“I worked with Bluevine on a major renovation project for the Heathman Hotel in Portland Oregon. Owner Kathryn James has an amazing eye for detail and style! I would hire her for any design project, home or business!!”

“Last year we bought a house that needed to be completely remodeled. This was the first time we were going to completely gut a house and pick out all the new material to be used. We were excited, but also scared to make such expensive decisions on our own. We asked Aundra to first help us pick out the right flooring, tile and paint for our house and WOW am I glad we did. She had such clear advice that left us feeling confident about our choices. After we finished the remodel, we brought her in again to help us decorate our large cold space. Not only did she have great ideas, she also worked well within our budget. I am so happy with the results and would recommend her to anyone.”

“I have employed Vicki Simon's interior design talents twice--once with a small Victorian house that she rehabilitated with care and then, after I downsized, in an apartment that she turned into a stunning display for my art collection. When I moved into a plainer-than-vanilla apartment in Portland’s Pearl district, I asked Vicki's help in warming it up and making it my own. She turned it into a stunning setting for my large art collection. I collect German expressionist prints and contemporary works on paper and Vicki helped me edit and place key pieces in a way that highlighted them dramatically. Additionally, she suggested furniture (Cassina sofa, ebony console) and designed a custom rug in deep, rich tones that made the apartment feel like a collector’s salon, as opposed to the bland stopping place for twentysomethings that the complex really was. It was all achieved through the magic of a trained designer’s eye and her knowledge of the possibilities of color, texture, and contrast. She also had sources for exquisite one-of-a-kind items from all over the world— a handmade blanket, a hexagonal bowl—that added the little touches so important to pulling together an entire look with a real aesthetic. The end result was a living space that expressed my likes and wants and highlighted the items and pieces I feel most attached to. Earlier with the small Victorian house, Vicki displayed her fabulous sense of how to unearth the possibilities of a home, especially when it has been muddled by renovations and cheap materials. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to express the good bones of their house and have it come across as their own. From recycled hardware to salvaged Victorian trim to new doorway dimensions, her discoveries and options really added up to something more than just the cool little parts.”

“Matt helped me select various pieces for my house over the last year and they've made a huge improvement in the experience of living there. We focused on using touches like plants and small-scale furnishings to help define space in my large open format first floor (new construction). He has a knack for finding amazing vintage furniture all over Portland and beyond. The role of music is an important part of his interior design approach that most people don't initially think about. He worked within my small budget to identify a few things that would optimize my sound system, and it's been a move that encourages me to hang out in this space more than I ever had before. Thanks, Matt!”

“hired Janet for approximately one year after she was referred to me by my realtor when I purchased a new residence in Santa Monica . I retained Janet as a designer and project manager for a complete remodel of a 2-bedroom condominium. The first thing that impressed me about Janet was her professionalism. She was always prepared, organized and presented several options when discussing a key decision point or project management issue. Her experience and business maturity helped to navigate through an arduous permitting process with the City of Santa Monica . Further, she anticipated questions and/or obstacles and presented recommendations to best deal with a given situation. In nearly every case, I simply followed her recommendation as it had clearly been carefully considered; I grew to trust her judgment completely. In addition to her professional demeanor, Janet possesses a creative eye that she effortlessly matches with the tastes and preferences of her client. Design decisions quickly became “rubber stamp” processes for me as her client – her selections were almost always synchronized with my own style. When our opinions differed, Janet was always the consummate professional and offered pros, cons or demurred as appropriate. As I mentioned earlier, I grew to trust Janet – not only as a design consultant, but also as a business professional and human being. As an example, in an instance where a contractor legitimately misinterpreted the intent of some instructions, Janet stepped in and personally covered the extra expense. She holds a high standard of integrity, and can always be trusted to do the right thing.”

“AM Spence interiors did an amazing job on a much needed mud room/ laundry room redesign for our home. Anna-Marie worked closely with us to put together a design that looked great and met our practical needs. She used great craftspeople to handle the construction and managed all of the scheduling and execution. She made it so easy for us and the end results were perfect. She changed our home in way that still sparks joy for us. We really couldn't be happier!”
