Space Planning Services in Fredericksburg, VA

“I hired Pierre Jean-Baptiste Interiors to create a new look for our den. We needed new furnishings, accessories, lighting, and a fresh coat of paint. We are a family of four and we needed a timeless space to relax after busy work and school days. To my surprise the project turned out better than expected. They provided the electrician to come and replace my old hanging chandelier. The painters were on time and clean. After proposing a sofa that I was not 100% sold on, I went against my feelings to let them piece the room together and I could not have been happier with the selections. Thanks again!”

“We worked with StorieCollective for a remote design of the open concept living/dining area of our Capitol Hill home. Sara was fantastic to work with and we were so pleased with the ease of the design process as well as the result. Our space had its challenges but she came up with an excellent floor plan that used the space in a smarter way than we would have come up with on our own. We were keeping a few existing pieces of furniture and the other design choices that Sara made worked well with what we already had. Sara was very easy to collaborate with and her choices for our home were spot on. I loved the ease of the clickable shopping list and the ability to reference both the space plan and design concept. I’m so happy that we worked with StorieCollective- our space is absolutely more functional, beautiful and well curated as a result.”

“Above and beyond is an understatement! We had little time for the huge task of staging our home, and Stacey was the best designer we could have asked to do the job. Stacey came out to do a consultation amidst our chaos of house projects and had no issues seeing right past those to make recommendations and plan for staging. Stacey came back another day to help stage and was flexible and understanding when our house still wasn’t in a perfect state. She helped rearrange furniture to fit the rooms best and decorated our house from top to bottom. I would love to keep all of the beautiful pieces that added such an amazing feel to our home. It is absolutely adorable, and I’m confident that we will gain interest in our house quickly with her staging skills. Stacey worked with our crazy schedule and was more than accommodating. She is a sweetheart and a professional. She truly loves what she does. I highly recommend Stacey for your interior design needs!”

“Janet Aurora of Decor and You took a huge hodge-podge basement full of cast-offs, under utilized antiques, builder grade/selection paint and zero personality and transformed it into a welcoming, warm, personable, fun and useable place. The basement now has a comfortable media viewing area, an area that can be used for projects, an attractive and much needed storage wall (with a service bar), conversation/reading nook for 4, two tables that can seat 16 for dinner, AND it can all be transformed into a party area (in which we comfortably hosted 47 people last weekend). She did an excellent job of incorporating my "memory pieces" (quilts, family furniture) with fresh new ideas, furniture, colors and patterns.....all within my budget. On top of it all, Janet was a blast to work with and even managed to pull my reluctant husband into the fray with her good humor and her ability to read people. This was not a "here is my plan, this is the way it will be" type of experience. I felt my input was carefully listened to. At the same time, I was told what might work better than some of my ideas and why. (And she was right...I guess that is why she is the professional!) Finally, the installers, painters, and construction people that she used were all top notch and friendly. An excellent experience, sort of sorry it is all over.”

“I asked Paola to provide a design for remodeling my bathroom with the goal of replacing the tub with a shower. My only request was that she retain my Mexican hand-painted ceramic sink. As the room is only 5 X 7, she had quite a challenge to update the room, giving an impression of more space, on a very small budget. Her design was perfect. All the materials to be used were low cost but did not look low cost. The finished product was well within my budget and looks great. I get many very positive reactions from family and friends. It is very impressive.”

“Working in Real Estate for almost 20 years allows most agents to build a trusted vendor list. A list that rarely adds new talent to the network. Kelly Marino Designs was no where near my radar when my listing in Alexandria came to be, but I will say this without a doubt... it was her level of expertise, professionalism, and tireless work ethic that got this home into the beautiful show piece it is today....and under contract within 3 days!! If you haven't heard of Kelly, don't worry, you will. If you haven't used her before, I urge you not to waste any more time and HIRE HER IMMEDIATELY...The results are there and proven! She is now a friend and trusted advisor. I am supremely confident that you'll feel the same way.”

“We've worked with Christina Simon on many projects over the years and her clients are frequent visitors to Marblex Showroom. She's extremely knowledgeable and has massive construction & project management experience that will help bring any project to successful completion. If you are looking for a wonderful, warm personality, professional assistance with your design choices and stunning design that will make everyone envy you the kitchen look no further!”

“I hired Residents:Understood to help me strategize a design for my new condo, and I was extremely pleased with their services. Kiera and Jessica are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their work. They offered me a design plan that stayed within my limited budget, and had a distinct flare for my personality and needs. I have recommended the company to several friends, and they have all been delighted with the services. I would highly recommend Residents:Understood to anyone looking for a very personalized and affordable design company!”

“When I work with someone I want the best, and we found that with Lauren. We have worked with Lauren on several projects and were basically starting with a blank canvass and told her to "just do it." The only real parameters we gave her were that we wanted it to look and feel like a model home. Boy did it! Design, picking out fabrics, materials, colors, etc. are not our thing, essentially we only care about the finish project. Because Lauren spent the time upfront getting to know us personally she knew exactly what would work for us and our lifestyle. Time and again she delivers. Lauren is our Designer for life. She is simply incredible. Each project brings me both stress and peace at the same time. Mostly peace though because with Lauren I don't have to worry. I know my expectations will be exceeded. If you want the best, then you need to work with Lauren.”

“Susan is very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful in selecting and purchasing furniture pieces, wallpaper, paint, etc. She is always available for consultation and really helped me save money with her trade discounts. She placed my orders quickly and was in communication from start to finish. She is truly a pleasure to work with and has great style ideas for any budget. I would give her 10 starts if I could!”
