AA Design Firm
Interior Designers & Decorators in Santa Monica, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 July 2015
“Not only does Ava and Arlene have impeccable design taste. They will handle everything from the idea phase, to hiring the proper General Contractor, subs, over seeing the entire process and being present at the job site during the work. They did everything from A to Z. They made redecorating my home a simple breeze. From providing me my options and giving me the pros and cons of each option with various cost estimates made it easy for me to make a comfortable informed decision on every step of the process. They are extremely flexible with their service. Their contractors are also professional and very neat. They clean up after every job and make the process very convenient. The outcome turned out better than I expected and I am a very satisfied customer.”
Lynne Parker Designs
Interior Designers & Decorators in Santa Monica, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 April 2013
“I hired Lynne in fall 2012 to work with me on three rooms. I have been so happy with all aspects of her service that I have engaged her to work on other areas of the house. Not only does Lynne possess all the skills one would expect in an interior designer ( fresh ideas, an eye for color and a good sense of space to name just a few) but she has talents that I had not considered as valuable before the project started. Lynne has a wonderful personality and this enables her to connect and communicate with both clients and retailers in a warm, friendly and highly productive manner. She has used her charm to negotiate some great deals, organize expedited deliveries and get answers to questions that I was unable to secure on my own. She has also chased down furniture items, fabrics and lighting when other designers might have suggested we give up and go another route. When i saw something I liked in a copy of Architectural Digest, she made contact with the designer of the featured house and found out all sorts of useful information during the course of a friendly chat. She listens well. She always respects the needs and wants of the client but is not afraid to step in if she thinks you are making a terrible mistake. I particularly love that Lynne helped me to step outside my comfort zone. The results have been spectacular. I have been delighted with all work to date and look forward to a continued relationship with Lynne.”
Jennifer Grey Color Specialist & Interior Design

“I have been working with Jennifer from The Old Painted Cottage since 2011. I had been a faithful blog reader (http://theoldpaintedcottage.com/) and admirer of her style for a long time before getting the courage to contact her to see if she would agree to a design consultation to help me revamp my living room. My husband and I had recently moved into a 1960's ranch - that still looked like it was from the 1960s! I was so frustrated with trying to "design" my house on a budget and getting nowhere – I desperately wanted and needed help. I kind of knew what I wanted to do and the styles I admired, but I had no idea whatsoever how to create it on a realistic budget in my own home. I hired Jennifer to teach me how to beautify my living room. And oh boy - I cannot say enough about how absolutely wonderful it was (and has been since then) to work with Jennifer! After sending her the dimensions of my living area and images of living rooms I loved (many of them here on Houzz), we scheduled and had a phone consultation and OH.MY.GOSH! Jennifer's energy, excitement, ability to translate what I wanted to the redesign of my space - and all within my budget - was incredible! One of the most amazing things about Jennifer is that she patiently taught me many interior design secrets that I never knew but have since been able to apply to my whole home (e.g., hanging drapes higher than the top of the window, displaying décor items in threes, adding pops of complementary color, etc.) Needless to say, it is 2014 and Jennifer has let me hire her to design almost every room in my house! Since 2011, I’ve had two babies and she helped me design both nurseries. Jennifer also helped me revamp my master bedroom, TV room, and the sunroom! Currently, we are doing a whole house consult on a little lake cabin my husband and I recently purchased. Overall, Jennifer is a consummate professional, her fees are ridiculously reasonable, and she is able to “get into a space” and transform it simply by looking at before photos. Jennifer is a gem! I could go on and on about Jennifer…(and I hope to meet her in person one day soon!)”

Emma DeRoche Interior Design
Interior Designers & Decorators in Santa Monica, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 September 2016
“Emma DeRoche is a dream to work with! She and her Design firm take the time to truly listen and help bring your thoughts, feeling and vibes to fruition. This made a huge impact during our process because I knew what I wanted in terms of tone and ambiance but couldn't always articulate it. Emma dialed in and took the lead while staying true to what I wanted. She is defiantly not a paint by numbers designer, rather a patient, savvy and refreshingly creative soul that will not only help create you space but elevate it in the process.”
