Downsizing Services in Camden County, NJ

“Christine was a blast to work with. I’m not too adventurous with design so I needed help to get some personality into my traditional home that was still aesthetically pleasing. She totally got us and knocked it out of the park.”

“This husband and wife team are amazing! They have unbelievable talent and are so personable. Benavides Design House turned our unfinished basement into a beautiful space complete with an art room for the kids, spare bedroom, entertainment room, pool table/game room and a wine cellar wall. They did renderings for us ahead of time so that we could really see what our space would look like. They sat down with us and made sure we were comfortable and got to know our style before they made recommendations. They were flexible enough to put up with our last minute change of heart on a few decisions. They were also very responsive to our calls and emails throughout the process. Plus when we first moved to the South Jersey area, we paid almost double the hourly fee for a designer so we consider BDH to be very competitively priced. You can not go wrong with this talented pair!!”

“Marissa has an eye for style and vibrant fun updates! We were struggling to remodel our basement and stuck in the same rut. She helped us think outside the box and make more bold choices. She also keeps an eye on budget and cost savings. I am so excited to show off our new space. I highly recommend Marissa for all your decorating/design projects. She's a pleasure to work with!”

“I have retained Karen Cronin on three significant projects. The most recent project was the move from my primary residence(4000 ft.² plus home) in South Jersey into my current residence (large two bedroom apartment at the Ritz residences in Philadelphia Pennsylvania). I am a divorced father of two. I own and run my own business. I work long hours and travel extensively. Bottom line-in a move like this I needed a tremendous amount of help, and based on my previous experience with Karen I had every confidence in her abilities. She exceeded my expectations. On the front end of the move Karen took responsibility to vet and retain movers. She supervised and coordinated the packing of my home, and the move. A stone the size of the home and the amount of furnishings very little was used in my new residence, which required that belongings and furnishings be donated or stored. Karen handled all of this. She was on site for the move out of my South Jersey residence, and coordinated with the building Philadelphia to handle the move-in. She had everything planned well in advance and it ran like clockwork. Because I was moving into a totally different style and size residence, Karen needed to completely design, furnish and accessorize my new residence. This required her to spend considerable time in advance designing, measuring and providing the options based upon my taste and pricing parameters. This move encompassed everything from furniture, to art, lighting, kitchen appliances, etc. Karen furnished and designed for the foyer, living room, dining room, family room and bedrooms. Karen coordinated with the vendors and my building to make arrangements for all deliveries and installation. She handled placement and timing of art. She worked with selected and vetted multiple vendors, including the movers, electricians, plumbers and carpenters. She has exemplary communication skills. We communicated multiple times daily. Based on our extensive experience together my trust in her judgment is absolute-yet, she took no steps without authority. I have absolutely no reservations about giving Karen complete access. She is completely trustworthy I have no reservations about recommending Karen Cronin. I can assure you I will be hiring her again. Completely dependable, the ultimate professional. Punctual. And, she has great taste. My place looks awesome. Constantly receive compliments. Can't go wrong with Karen Cronin!!! I would have no problem speaking with anyone considering Karen.”

“Marcy Dash Friedman has decorated and/or re-decorated my homes for more than 25 years. She is as creative and talented as anyone I’ve ever worked with, a true professional. Spacial concepts and problem-solving are Marcy’s strong suits, and she has a competent, well-trained, staff. Whether you’re building a house from scratch or just remodeling your bathroom, she makes the process fun and exciting. And the results are always spectacular. Enjoy!!”

“Stephanie was very easy to work with! Her initial consultation was very helpful and informational. I would highly recommend Stephanie based solely on her knowledge of materials and practical design. As an artist myself, I was very pleased with her color sense.”

“I have seen hollys work and met her personally. She is very professional And loves what she does. Her passion shows through her work!”

“David worked with us on renovating the kitchen in our circa 1870 converted stable/carriage house. There were significant challenges including an immovable weight-bearing column and a large electrical panel located on one wall. His sense of design, form and function were spot-on. He did considerable leg work to find the perfect cabinet style and manufacturer and came up with solutions that improved the look and function of the room. Importantly, he always listened to us and worked well with our contractor. We couldn't have been more pleased!”

“Audra Fine at Deconstructed Living helped us furnish and decorate our home in Margate NJ. It was new and had nothing. She was respectful of our tastes and budget. She took our input but didn't let us make mistakes. A few years later we moved our primary home in PA. She worked with all of our furnishings that we wanted to keep while bringing in new items to update our home. Audra is the best. She is a delight to work with.”

“Nicole is absolutely amazing. I can't say enough good things about her and the interior decorating services that she provided for us. Nicole originally helped us in a historic home in Jacksonville. She was incredible at learning what we wanted, matching the neighborhood feel, and making the house feel just right. We then unexpectedly moved to the beach!! Nicole worked with us to repurpose our old furniture, adapt it to our new house style and make the PERFECT house sitting. We love, love, love the work that Nicole did for us. We're so grateful.”
