"I called to ask for an estimate on interior painting .

Pittsburgh Interior Designers Provider Name Locked

herself called back within a day. Very friendly and promised to see me the next day. Said she works by herself now and has painters who are ready to do the job . Unfortunately she did not show up for her appointment. I called to remind her but have not heard back since then."

"I found

on Angie?s List and she had good ratings, so... I called

in the middle of my kitchen remodeling project because I didn't have the time to manage contractors etc. I was really looking for a designer with project management skills. At the time she was brought on (early March) my kitchen was completely demolished. This was an insurance claim, which she was aware of upfront.

wanted to be paid her entire fee upfront $2k. No way I could do that, so we agreed on a timeline of payment which I thought would sync with my project. Well it didn't. We were still at step one and she was sending ?gentle? reminders for payment. Zero work had been done and very little of the work she was contracted for was complete. I decided to pay her in good faith. Well, at about the same time I was releasing payment I received an email from

which was intended for her friend, the kitchen designer, bad mouthing me about trying to "control the budget by not paying her." She had other unpleasant things to say, such as that I was ?all over the map? and had designer taste etc. The latter is true I do have designer taste, but...it?s my home ? shouldn?t I? The truth is I was *very clear headed* about what I liked and because my criteria didn't match the inventory of her friend's cabinet selection at the price point I needed, she tried to blame me. Instead she should have said, let's go to another place to order cabinets because there is no selection that you like here in your price point. She wanted me to settle ? no way! On a humbug, I went to Home Depot to look at their selection of cabinets and wouldn?t you know I found MANY options I liked even more than what her friend offered. I got a quote from HD - they came in over 4K less than the her friend (designer/cabinet vendor). Seems strange, right? In any case, she is also passive aggressive about the things that she likes. Like slab drawers and stainless steel faucets etc. Luckily, I know what I like so that didn?t matter too much. So, after I received

's back-biting email, I sent it back saying, I don't think this was intended for me. Three hours later she responded "Sorry". That's it! I couldn't believe her lack of professionalism in this regard. I was willing to continue working with her, but her lack of humility and poor handling of the situation sealed her fate. I still paid her $1500 (the total contract was for $2000) and really all I got was...a reference for a kitchen designer/cabinet vendor (he was good). I did order from him because he was willing to fight for my business and frankly, I thought he deserved it -- after all, he did all the work. I actually waited for weeks after she received my payment to see if she had the integrity to send a partial refund or to even *call* to say, "I know I screwed this up, but..." Instead she sent an email excusing her poor manners, "standing by her email." Are you kidding me? "

Pittsburgh Interior Designers Reviews

"I was moving from a multi-level, more contemporary home to a 120 year old 3 story home in

. We worked on everything from all new paint colors, wallpaper and window treatments for all three floors. Although we used all of my existing furnishings, I needed several new pieces to accommodate the additional space. This project would have taken me years to complete because I also have two young sons and a full time job.

kept me at task and I never felt overwhelmed. More importantly, I never second guessed any of my decisions."

"She is excellent. She helped me select colors for the kitchen and dining room. She helped me transition from a color that we thought we really liked in the dining room to a color that was very similar to it. At first we were skeptical, but when we saw it, it was perfect. She really knows her stuff."

"After calling

and explaining what style I was looking for she brought a variety of samples to my home. I was very satisfied with her design and choices.

called me the next day with her bid, that I accepted. All the work was very professionally done and looks beautiful. From start to finish the job was completed in the time frame stated in the bid."

"She is more than a decorator, she is a designer. Her architectural skills and broad range of professional contacts is helpful. The color palette blends from room to room, coordinating the whole house. I really liked working with her."

"I found

to be well organized and very easy to work with. She is very personable and non judgmental. I would recommend her very highly to work with families especially. Her rates are also reasonable."

is a warm, friendly, approachable person with impeccable taste and the ability to think out of the box. We enjoyed working with her: she is very down to earth and unpretentious, and can work within a modest budget. Her design choices helped pull together our existing pieces to create an interesting, put-together look that fits our lifestyle. While her portfolio is full of very elegant, expensive, high end projects that look like they could be in magazines, she was able to work with our modest budget and came up with some creative ideas to make it look like we spent a lot more than we did."

"She done several painting projects in the past for us as well. She is extremely talented and very easy to work with. She is friendly, good with children and even pets. She cleans up well after she is done. Her work is very precise and pays a lot of attention to detail. She was very helpful in the design process and listening to us and also putting our ideas right on the wall!! Her work is absolutely gorgeous."

"They were very in tune with what I wanted and they were quick to make adaptations and fit their service to my needs. They didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need or didn't like. They have a lot of experience and are very knowledgeable. The woman I worked with has been doing this for 15 years and she is very good at visualizing the project and making it happen. It was great experience and I would definitely use them again."
