“Sharon did a great job in designing and installing a mosaic tile backsplash as part of our kitchen remodel. In consulting with her beforehand she helped me reflect on what type of design would reflect my personal tastes. She did a lovely job of creating the tiles and they are the perfect finishing touch to our beautiful new kitchen! She kept to the schedule we discussed and was great at communicating throughout the project.”

“I bought all my kitchen pulls and knobs from Northern Crescent. The hardware is unbelievably well made and beautiful. I love them. They are wonderful and add such a great character to my kitchen. The folks there couldn't have been more accommodating. Nicest people I've dealt with in a long time!”

“Jay was great to work with and created a beautiful backsplash for my kitchen. He was friendly and communicative throughout the process and welcomed ideas and feedback from start to finish. His handmade tiles are stunning- their texture and nuance in color are difficult to capture in photos. He paid great attention to detail during installation and I couldn't ask for a better finished product.”

“Having known this dedicated artist and designer for more than 40 years and her work for the past 35 years, Cleaster's artistry is a direct reflection of the artist herself: thoughtful, edgy, innervating and quite remarkable. A painter, photographer, sculptor and designer. While one of those trades would be quite enough for some, Cleaster is a natural at all of them. I am proud and pleased to recommend her.”

“Lyna transformed my entire bland space into something special, all with paint. But what paint! With her artist’s eye, she contributed a vision that any non-artist homeowner will truly appreciate (and artistic ones will embrace as well!). I had all off-white walls and really didn’t know what I wanted (except not all white). Lyna really looked at the space and the world-class mountain view from my windows and worked from there. From her wealth of knowledge of faux painting and finishing, and the experience from many successful projects, she made suggestions for each room that ended up being just perfect for me. We decided on a textured finish for the living area (brown glaze over gray walls), which provides an interesting, but not intrusive, backdrop to showcase the beautiful views and future art. In the same room, she created a Venetian plaster surround for the fireplace that perfectly complements the walls and floor-to-ceiling blinds. When I expressed amazement that it all came together so beautifully, she gave me that wry “look.” She was never in doubt! For the master bedroom, which is absolutely flooded with light, she helped me (patiently) with the trial and error to find the perfect blue-green that wouldn’t look too gray or too greenish, then made suggestions for darker shades of the same color to accent the alcove behind the bed and for the master bath. For a bedroom with no windows (this is a condo building), she came up with a gold-yellow Shimmerstone burnished finish complimented by a copper accent wall section that all worked together to make the dark room, well, shimmer, without being over the top. For the media room, also with no windows, she gave me the courage to try a beautiful leaf green that I truly love to see every day. Throughout it all, Lyna was a great pleasure to work with. She is very friendly and open, and quite passionate about her work. As for budget, I didn’t have one, but she helped me make decisions that keep it all reasonable. She also seems to be very organized in terms of scheduling toward a prompt completion, which meant a lot to me given that every room in my home was a work in progress at the same time. Lyna has my whole-hearted endorsement for anyone who wants more than the ordinary! NB”
