Downsizing Services in Ann Arbor, MI

“Elizabeth has interior designed our former home and our current home including basement; to say we know her work would be an understatement. We hired Elizabeth mainly for her exquisite taste in design and colors included with that was an energy of excitement and the willingness to help us choose the perfect design and/or scheme for our home. (We interviewed 7 other Interior Designers before Elizabeth.) Always professional. Great ideas; showed us various styles for various rooms with specified colors and window treatments to match. Guesswork is taken away; meaning, we did not have to guess which style was going to work best in a particular room(s), we just had to pick the one we wanted. Overall, after 9 years in our current home, we still receive the highest of compliments from friends, guests and neighbors...a great feeling! Again, the scope of the work was for paint colors, window treatments and installation, furniture, accessories and space planning. Elizabeth does it all with great success!”

“Every time (seriously, every single time) I walk into the bathroom that Noelle redesigned for us, I feel refreshed, invigorated, and inspired - I had no idea a room could do that for a person! A warm and welcoming woman, Noelle worked with us and our humble budget to transform our dingy yellow and beige 70's-era bathroom into a white and blue modern masterpiece. (I even caught the tile guy taking pictures of the room when he was all done - it's so gorgeous!) Hiring Noelle was easily the best decision we made for our home and we can't wait to see her ideas for our kitchen remodel.”

“I can't say enough good things about working with Martine, owner of Temescal Creative. I needed to transform my space, and Martine was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, kind, and helpful in redecorating and arranging my home. She has a unique attention to detail and knows how to simplify the process in order to make so easy to do and not intimidating. She's great about using what you already have instead of suggesting you change or buy a bunch of stuff, which is helpful if you're on a budget. Will absolutely work with her again!”

“Kitty is a wonderful, collaborative interior designer and I love working with her. I first hired Kitty in 2001 when we were building our custom home. She was involved with floor planning, paint, flooring, cabinetry. Her recommendations made a positive difference in how our home was done, as we had a difficult lot on which to build and therefore a limited footprint. She also provided a design concept with furniture, color scheme, fabrics, etc. Over the years I contacted her for several other projects - usually once a year or so, and they encompassed such things as repainting, drapery design and coordination with seamstress, wall art layout, more furniture, bedding/bedskirts, furniture layout, accessories, etc. Kitty is amazingly easy to work with. I have had experiences with two designers in the past where the designer forced ideas on me that I ultimately did not love. Kitty understands my design style and "gets" what I like in my coastal-style home. She is thoughtful, kind, collaborative and organized. She works around sentimental items that I have rather than turning her nose up at them. My home has Kitty's stamp all over it. I have referred her to others and she will be my designer for life!”

“Erin is very knowledgeable and patient with helping meet your design needs and ideas. She helped us with our master bedroom and making the room appear larger and more open. I appreciate the time she gave and the attention to detail that she provided!”

“mary beth is the consumate professional. she is respect of one's budget and desires. there is never the feeling that your remodel or project are opportunities to have her fulfill her dreams. i personally always felt that marybeth wanted us happy with the out come of the project. i felt that she saw her role as helping us visualize our ideas and then doing all in her ability to make that possible. marybeth is also very respectful of time. she is always on time, one never feels that the trip out to search for some product or furnishing is just thrown together. marybeth has a plan. i believe that she wanted our time together to be well spent. and therefore productive. even if that means one doesn't find what one is looking for. the time has been taken to try to make it happen and explore other options. i used marybeth on both the remodel of our kitchen and later our master bath. she also was a tremendous help in remodeling our large porch. in between these projects i called on her for some assistance in focusing ideas for smaller projects. i am always amazed how creative she is. i would recommend marybeth to anyone who can use some help in developing a plan for the completion of a "vision". she will not disappoint. she is a gem. i would not hesitate to call on her again and again.”

“This was my first time using a designer, and frankly, I could not be more pleased. Drew took my great taste and bumped it up 300%, and I am a math teacher, so that means something. He gave a complete plan for reworking our entire first floor. We quickly got to work painting, then Drew came to the house, arranged furniture, placed accessories, and hung the art on the walls. I could have cried: everything looked so stylish and complete. We purchased 2 furniture pieces, the world's coolest light fixture, and some fabric (that I would have gone insane picking myself) from EA, but with that came a wealth of knowledge and service that I did not know was possible.”

“Kelly provides a unique touch in her design ideas while keeping a strong focus on functionality and practicality. In 2006, she turned our unfinished basement into additional living space by identifying our needs, budget and time frame. Kelly's talent stems from her knowledge of architecture and design. She is very creative and yet attentive to details to meet our family's needs. Kelly helped select paint colors and artwork to coordinate the open floor plan in our previous home. She is currently helping us personalize our recently purchased house. Kelly is resourceful with using our existing furniture and decorations to minimize the need to make additional purchases. She's a pleasure to work with!”

“Excellent vision and selection of furniture and accessories. Most importantly, she listened to our ideas and customized and revised the project to our complete satisfaction. The results were amazing.”

“Wanda Brown was a joy to work with. She understood exactly the type of decor that I wanted and selected furniture, carpeting and decorative items that took my beautiful condo to that place.. She brought items and wallpaper from which I could select. She also scheduled competent craftsmen to carry out the decor. I have no hesitation in recommending Wanda. She is a treasure.
