The Client Experience

There are so many micro decisions to make along the way and having Claire there to guide us in both the big decisions in the beginning (design, architecture, flow of space, cabinets, paint colors, etc.) all the way down to the tiny decisions like baseboard and trim, exact cabinet hardware, how to deal with an awkward corner, etc. was so invaluable. Our kitchen turned out better than I could have ever imagined when we started the project and I'm so grateful for Claire's patience (it was a long process!) and attention throughout.

I just love how it all came together. It can be really hard to visualize the end product and also trust that it will look as incredible as you envision in your mind. We ended up with our dream kitchen and I am just so pleased with how each detail blends seamlessly into the next and it all worked together to create the perfect space.

Working with Claire was such a joy! She was responsive, understood the direction I wanted to go, and offered so much helpful context and additional perspectives when we felt stuck or weren't sure what our options even were.

Claire was amazing! Her suggestions were exactly what I wanted but was unable to create myself. I'd recommend this to anyone needing a fresh set of eyes on their space.

Claire is such a rockstar! She totally rolled with my stream of conscious thoughts, and managed to provide really helpful recommendations for two rooms AND the exterior of our house all in an hour. She was able to really convey those little details that elevate a house from a place with nice furniture to a home that is well designed, including factoring in our specific needs (I.e., kid friendly).

Claire was amazing! In our 1 hour zoom she was able to address every issue. She suggested pieces and colors that not only flowed with the existing design but tied everything together. She is so friendly and easy to talk to. What I was most impressed with was how she could go right to what she was looking for and it would be exactly what I had been wanting but unable to create myself. I'm so happy I did this and would recommend to anyone needing fresh eyes in their space or just starting.

Claire is fantastic! Incredibly talented, engaging, nice, and effective. We covered a tremendous amount of ground in just one hour thanks to her wisdom, breadth of knowledge and practical advice on specific brands, materials and measurements. I got so much out of our session that I immediately booked another one. She is the exact person you want to make your home beautiful, collected and harmonious. Highly recommend!

Claire was so wonderful to speak with and extremely helpful with tips and suggestions for all facets of my project. It's actually amazing how much you can accomplish in the allotted timeframe; not to mention the helpful follow-up product links and summary of the consultation. I ended up booking another meeting with Claire to jump into more elements of our project(s).... and definitely hope to get more time with her in the future!

This is my second Expert session with Claire and just wow! Each session feels like a Matrix style download of all of her awesome pearls of wisdom. We even get to my "we won't have time, but I wonder what she thinks about X, Y, and Z" questions. I don't just leave our sessions informed, but also feeling very encouraged about how to realize our goals for our home. I plan to continue meeting with Claire throughout our reno and love the Expert!

I have used Claire for 3 big projects now (2 residential and 1 commercial) and I absolutely love working with her, and the design is always incredible and exactly what I wanted. She truly cares about your project and does everything in her power to make sure it comes together properly, whether that’s monitoring the tile installation quality or following up endlessly with vendors. Her dedication and industry knowledge are top notch, and there’s no one else I would work with. It’s fun to work with her, too!

Claire helped us with a full remodel of our main living space, bathroom, guest bedrooms, and kitchen. We loved working with her and the end result was absolutely beautiful. Later when we sold the home, we ended up receiving the highest price per foot on record in our neighborhood. Would highly recommend working with Claire if you get the chance!
