Downsizing Services in Glenolden, PA

“When I moved to my new home, Sharon helped me with paint colors, furniture placement, rug and window treatment purchases, hanging art work, family pictures and mirrors. Sharon listened to me, worked with my style & budget and I am thrilled with my new home!”

“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!!”

“Simply put, Ginger Woods Design just gets it. Ginger and her team took my wishlist and miss mash of random idea and turned my vision into a reality. They were so easy to work with and completely understood what I was going for, even when I had trouble expressing it. When I was at a loss for ideas, they had amazing suggestions. Ginger was always accessible for a question or a quick email with the subject line "what about this?". My commercial project - a play cafe - was unique and we did not have much in the way of a model. The end result is fantastic. Our business is booming and not a day goes by when someone doesn't say: who designed this? Where did you get that? What a great idea.”

“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!”

“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 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.”

“Gretchen is wonderful. I had been wanting to re-do my living area but was afraid to hire someone and afraid to do it myself. By extreme fortune, I found Gretchen. She tapped into my inarticulate needs brilliantly and came up with a truly lovely design that made all my previous fears disintegrate. She also made the process of implementing the design pretty painless. She is a gifted artist and real professional - and yet, worked smoothly with a rank amateur. I LOVE everything about my new living room and dining room. Thank you, Gretchen!”

“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.”

“Working with Ximena was a pleasure. She is very talented, professional, organized. She is passionate about design and listens well to requests and concerns. We were very pleased with the results of her work and would highly recommend her to others.”

“Kat has always given us written estimates that were accurate when job was completed. Her ideas are up to date and different. Good eye for symetry and patterns. Have not been disappointed yet. Our work is still in progress because we always find another project.”
