Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 March 2018
“Trish is a kind, thoughtful, hardworking interior designer with a sharp eye to create the look I was seeking. I met with Trish soon after my husband and I purchased a new home. Hiring a designer was intimidating and Trish put me at ease immediately upon our first meeting. She listened to my ideas and laid out the various ways her services could work for me. We truly had a great time working together and she was expert at making things work to scale and tying in modern pieces with bits of traditional which is tricky and something I could never do on my own! Thank you Trish!”

“I hired Kanika to do the interior design for my new rental apartment. Kanika worked very hard and produced an outstanding result. I love my new living space. Everything looks great, and very comfy.

Weaver Design Group

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 July 2013
“I hired Amy to help me furnish my living room, dining room and master bedroom. It was a terrific collaboration and I am very pleased with the outcome. She was respectful of the pieces we had acquired through family inheritance and graciously worked around those to integrate them into a fresh yet traditional style that exudes personality. She is organized, responsive and has exceptional taste. She knows when it is worth it to invest in a signature piece and when you can "get away' with something more reasonable priced yet very attractive. I had a lot of fun working with Amy and highly recommend her services.”
Design Loft Company
Interior Designers & Decorators in San Rafael, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 December 2012
“We hired Hellen Hsieh, the owner of Design Loft Company, to design our 725 sq ft great room addition. We are so incredibly thrilled with the completed project, it is exactly what we had envisioned. Our existing house was a 1200 sq ft 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. The kitchen and living area was very modest. With two teenagers at home, we needed to expand and wanted more room to entertain. When we started the project we were uncertain if we should knock down walls and remodel the current floor plan and add a small addition or keep the footprint of the existing house exactly the same and add on one large great room. We decided to do the later, however, to get to this point, we went through several different renderings. Hellen provided us with many great options and helped us decide what would be the most economical and feasible plan. She was flexible, patient and was great about pointing out the pros and cons of each option. Her interactions with our architect , contractor and cabinet supplier went very smoothly which helped us to meet specific deadlines. Hellen was maticulous when it came to the kitchen cabinets and made sure everything was ordered properly and our custom stain came out exactly how we wanted. As a designer, she is very creative and knowledgeable. She understood the style and feel we were after. More importantly she was very conscious and respectful of our monetary constraints which helped us complete our entire project within budget. What impressed us most was her understanding of the build process: from the contractors needs, the city requirements, realistic costs and time estimates, appliance installation prerequisites and inspection requirements. We couldn't be more pleased with Design Loft and Hellen's professionalism.”

“As general contractor I've had many experiences working with designers over the years and working with Lauren has always been a pleasure. I specialize in residential projects almost exclusively and all of my projects require attention to the details. Lauren has shown me that she has an incredible talent to think of the details and plan for them from the very beginning. She's been able to take my projects from the initial concept/layout phase through completion seamlessly and I've never had to stop a project and wait for her to make a descision before moving on. Lauren's taste is impecable and her projects speak for themselves (look at her photos). Feel free to contact me for a reference. Dan Boyle Construction 707 486-9225”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 May 2019
“Very generous designer who made my tiny rental feel spacious and bright! So grateful for Jenn’s excellent list of recommendations she offered me within 24 hours after seeing my home. She helped me realize that my space doesn’t have to be or feel small by changing a few simple things such as, painting the interior, raising all the curtain rods to make my ceiling feel higher, layer cowhides on the cold tiled floor, moved my paintings around that made more sense to view, helped me find beautiful decorative pillows, dining table and chairs, and the most comfy modern chair and ottoman we all fight over to sit in and most importantly she suggested many choices to choose from to change out all the old dated light fixtures. I learned that investing in great curtains, sconces to lamp shades would be worth the investment since I can take them with me if and when I ever move. My home now feels spacious, fun and festive to visit and a whole lot bigger and brighter because I used every single one of Jenn’s innovative ideas. Loved her smart suggestions and felt she respected my small budget and made it work besides making my cozy place a place all my friends and family love to visit. I highly recommend Dreamlife Designs, your dreams will definitely come true if you choose to work with Jenn and her team. Mary A. (Mill Valley, Ca.)”

“We can't say enough great things about Christy Collection and Shelf-O-Matic products! They are 1/3 to 1/2 the price of any ShelfGenie and the personal attention and care given to our projects was unprecedented! We have used Shelf-O-Matic for projects in several states and the attention to detail and quality of work was fantastic! We are so happy with the communication and quality of work! They have a lifetime warranty and replacement plan with no questions asked...also, the warranty is completely transferable to any future purchasers of the property.”

“We recently finished a remodel of our mid-century kitchen and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. Tony and Dawn are amazing and their eye for design is impeccable...what I was most impressed with was how detailed they were and that they listened to our needs. We wanted a kitchen that looked great but was also functional, and they delivered! My wife and I both work, so it was important to us to know that they were there to handle all the small details and be on site to work with contractors, handymen, etc. No doubt, remodeling a kitchen is stressful but Tony and Dawn were so accommodating and made the project much easier than it would have been otherwise. The final photo shoot was bittersweet -- everything looked amazing but we were a little sad the project was over since working with Tony and Dawn was such a pleasure. I can't recommend them highly enough. Check out the photos of the Chevron marble back splash in the Yelp photo album toward the end and also on their website.”
Kelly Martin Interiors
Interior Designers & Decorators in San Rafael, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 February 2017
“I loved working with Kelly and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an interior designer who brings creativity, but designs something that fits YOU. My husband, daughter and I had just moved from NYC to LA, so we hired Kelly to help us design a space that reflected our energy, experiences, personality and the SoCal vibe. I always dreamed of going lighter with color in a living space, but never had the guts. Kelly listened intently to what we had to say and then suggested risky and creative ideas based on our conversation, budget and key pieces of furniture we wanted to keep. As a result, Kelly turned our apartment into our home...that looks more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. People walk in and are stunned at how unique it looks in its vibrancy and style, while still reflecting who we are. Kelly told us in our initial meeting that we would love it, we would not know which room we liked the best, and we would never want to move out. Mission accomplished. We absolutely love it! Also, Kelly is an extremely warm-hearted, kind individual, and she made the process fun and easy (which was such a blessing as we were juggling a cross country move, a 1 year old and new jobs). She responded to emails promptly and effectively, and moved through our project with the pace at which we were comfortable. If we ever move again (which I don't want to now!!!) I will hire Kelly in a heartbeat. :)”
