It was such a pleasure working with Carl. He listened to what was important to me then brought in his expertise to make that vision a reality. I was so impressed how he was able to create the most wonderful period kitchen for my 1950s home. Carl not Read Full Review

My husband and I have worked with Carl on two home projects. One was the renovation of a split hall American colonial revival style home of approximately 4,500 SQFT built in the 1980s and the second, a 3,500 SQFT custom new build Spanish colonial revival reminiscent of the 1920s. The homes were very different projects and while we wanted to honor the architecture of each, we also wanted them to feel like us. Carl quickly understood and easily incorporated our unique style into both homes while keeping his design true to the homes’ period roots. For the first home, we were on a strict budget and we renovated four rooms with Carl’s guidance and expertise. For the second home, 15 years later, we had a more generous budget and it was a whole home design except for the bathrooms and kitchen design which had been completed before Carl came aboard. In both projects, Carl was respectful of our budget and guided us to design choices that matched both our taste and the bottom line. His hallmark is the use of color and composition, integrating new and existing artwork, vintage and antique furnishings with new pieces. He blends period details with a modern flair. He introduces texture in both subtle and bold ways creating unexpected, beautiful and peaceful spaces. We have enjoyed working with Carl and we recommend him for any home project, large or small.

Carl was a pleasure to work with from my initial contact about my project all the way through completion. His communication is excellent, he was constantly professional and efficient with time, yet friendly and accommodating to changes along the way. My project involved designing a transitional look to modernize several rooms of my older home without the result looking out of place or jarringly different than the remaining rooms. His knowledge of materials, finishes, fixtures, and other elements, as well as where to source them all was quite vast and extremely helpful through the design process and during construction when problems stemming from supply chain instability arose. He sometimes persuaded me out of my comfort zone, but in every instance, the result was something I ended up really liking. I highly recommend him to anyone, including friends and family.

Carl was great! His ideas on construction, room layout and design details were truly inspirational. His knowledge of the suppliers and relationships to the contractor community proved invaluable in moving ideas to reality. We can't thank him enough for his partnership. Part designer, part referee! We needed every bit of it.

Carl has a special talent for designing homes and spaces. It is truly amazing to hear him talk about what he is seeing during the design phase and then watch it all unfold as it comes to be. Many things come to mind of why Carl is so amazing. He made my home remodel approachable. I have zero experience doing something like this. Carl would research things, get them down to two to four choices, and then we would go through them. This made it so much more enjoyable to make this home "me" but also not be overwhelmed with thousands of choices for the hundreds of decisions that must be made when doing a bathroom and kitchen remodel. The other big thing that makes Carl awesome is how detailed he is. And Carl is on-site during construction working with the contractor. I believe this separates Carl from other designers. Problems come up and he is there to make decisions with the contractor to make sure it looks right. Another big thing that I was not aware of going into this - discounts! Carl has so many connections with vendors and suppliers where he receives discounts for his clients. Not sure if I'm supposed to publicize this or not. All of those discounts added up to thousands of dollars in savings for me. I love my remodeled home! Thank you Carl for your talent, knowledge and professionalism!

Carl is a master of color. His choices don't always dazzle when you look at swatches and samples but when the job is done his choices are absolutely perfect. Don't try to choose your own colors if you aren't a pro. Trust Carl and you will get a tasteful and sophisticated result. We gave Carl a free hand to design our entry doors. His design is not something we could have imagined but it is perfect for our house and we have received many complements. Ready-made doors are nearly as expensive as what we have but a custom design is so much better than something you see everywhere that doesn't quite suit your house. Highly recommended!

We would recommend Carl to anyone looking for a competent honest and talented designer!

Carl was recommended to us by a previous general contractor. He designed the complete remodel of 5 bedrooms + 3 baths. Carl in turn recommended the general contractor that we used. Communication was prompt and Carl kept in frequent contact with the construction contractor. Coordination of color palettes (e.g. paint, window coverings, carpet), tile design, and fixtures was top notch. Carl made some great suggestions that we would not have considered, e.g. accordion closet doors, top+bottom opening bathroom window coverings. He was always cost conscious and often provided multiple options to choose from. Would definitely recommend to others 10/10.

Kris, Thank you so much for the kind review. It was a pleasure working with you both.

Carl has been great to work with on multiple projects, from our living room that Carl designed years ago, and that I still love, to our beautiful outdoor patio dining area, and other projects in between and since. He's got vast experience and knowledge about a wide range of products, and is skilled at blending his client's aesthetics with his impeccable eye to achieve beautiful results. Carl knows every aspect of construction projects, and is attentive to details throughout his projects to avoid time-consuming mistakes. I look forward to working with Carl on future projects.

Hands down best design team I’ve worked with. What started out as a kitchen and bath remodel, quickly became a whole house remodel down to the studs. Crawford Pallini flexed quickly and helped me envision what a sacred space my home could become. I was working in a fast-paced corporate job at the time with an intense global travel schedule. They were able to work with me on tight timelines and plan out future phases in the few windows of time I had. Both Carl and Rachel also flexed once again when I got married. They astutely helped my partner feel included and helped us mesh our styles in a way that is a perfect blend! Designing the aesthetic of your home is so much more than the materials. Carl and Rachel were able to capture our essence and our home is our sanctuary. I would gladly speak with anyone wanting to understand the process we went through and cannot recommend Crawford Pallini highly enough.

Carl and Rachel are an absolute joy to work with! They have amazing vision and design skills but also help match perfect design with customer needs and understanding. They have really helped transform our house to a home!!

I highly recommend these talented designers. They first take the time to listen to what you want out of the project and then elevate those ideas to another level. They are very knowledgeable about current and upcoming trends, but they don’t just duplicate what you’d find in design magazines. They are able to create something truly unique and awe inspiring. Most importantly, they are creative enough to do this while respecting your budget limitations. I am definitely using them again on upcoming home projects.

Rachel and Carl where very helpful and knowledgeable when it came to remodeling our kitchen. They display a strong working understanding of construction costs, timelines and order of events which was extremely helpful and on point. They connected us to vendors that were professional with a large array of options and styles for us to choose from. They also acted as a great sounding board for our ideas and when my partner and I had a difference of option! Thank you to Rachel and Carl... the kitchen looks awesome!

We interviewed a few designers before we met and agreed to hire Carl & Rachel and Crawford Pallini. After a great experience redoing the bathrooms in our 100 year old home we worked with them on the kitchen and several other updates. They brought us creative ideas we would never have thought of, connected us to unique vendors that were able to do great work, and the result is a home that we love, and guests rave about. The money we spent with them was well worth it, our house definitely looks that much better because of it.

It took just one meeting with Carl and Rachel and we knew right away they were the perfect design duo to complete our home remodel. They listened, and endured us trying to explain what vision we had for our home. By the next meeting our mashed up thoughts were magically turned into reality! They nailed every aspect of what we thought we wanted and so much more. Their attention to detail and professionalism shined throughout the entire process. They included us in as much as we wanted them to and before we were even done with one room we had them working on other areas of the home. One highlight is an original mid-century lamp that they hung from the ceiling - custom made just for us. Another is a gallery wall behind our office desk with photos from our travels. If you're looking for a team to listen to you and help make your dreams a reality give them a call; you won't be disappointed.

Rachel & Carl were so incredibly helpful & knowledgeable during my downstairs renovation. They were a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for design services. They were very professional, on time & made the process stress free. I really appreciate their expertise and creativity. I felt like they listened to me & were able to execute what I envisioned. I had a difficult time picking out a countertop & they were so patient & found the perfect piece. I am so happy with my home and how everything came together. I trust them completely and look forward to working with them again.

Crawford Pallini are the the ultimate best in the design industry. These two are so talented in literally every aspect of design. The selections from paint colors, furniture, lighting fixtures, window treatments and so much more exceeded our expectations. Trusting, timely, considerate to my own ideas, sensitive to my needs they helped us along the journey to full completeness. Honestly consider yourself lucky to have this talented and dynamic duo on their design team.
