Kim Armstrong and her team knocked my socks off. I always wanted to live in a high rise and have a…read moregreat view of the skyline. But, when I found the perfect place, it immediately dawned on me that this place needed professional touch to make it perfect. Kim and her team began by inspecting my blank canvass pad and interviewing me for about an hour. There questions were not directed towards what type of fabrics and colors that I like, but instead, were focused on my interest in music, art, etc. They took my input and went to work. I received great PowerPoint presentations and graphical layouts for what they intended to do with my place. Then, as my place began to take shape, they were open to my input and I was open to theirs. In the end, my apartment turned out amazing. I do not think there is a single think in my home that I would have picked out myself, but there is not a single thing in my place that I do not love and doesn't get rave compliments. Kim and her team worked within my budget, were easy to work with, and I highly recommend them. And, while they tended to do more classical design, they gleefully took on my "modern" project. Here's a link to some work they did along with some comments from my friends. If you're looking to do something modern, post modern, or mid-century contemporary, feel free to check out my place. I like them so much that you can even stop by if you're thinking about hiring them and check out their work in person. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150694005637673.444559.683167672&type=3&l=5bf0243f3b

Kim Armstrong is a phenomenal designer and a pleasure to work with. Not only does she create…read morebeautiful original spaces but she has an amazing ability to pull ideas from even a "designed-challenged" person like me, and was able to guide me effortlessly through the decision process. I needed help with the overall look and feel, layout, and product selection of a master bedroom and guest bedroom, plus advice on some window coverings. I chose the Design Concierge service which ended up being a great fit as I did not need the full-service option. The whole process was very smooth and efficient. A key step to her approach is the initial consultation which Kim does in advance of the full day of design at the house. I sent some pictures of the rooms in advance as well as some photos I had pinned from a home design site. She used the time on the call to discuss my goals for the project and to ask lots of questions to get a feel for my style. Kim came to our in person design day a few days later already armed with targeted, creative ideas and with a good sense of what would be appealing to me. You could tell she had done a good deal of prep work in advance. We tackled one room at a time starting with her taking measurements and inputting them into a CAD program so it would be easy to slot existing and new items into the floorplan. Kim has a wealth of knowledge about products and vendors so she easily came up with multiple options for each decision. She would then place each items I had decided on into the design board right on the spot, so I would not be struggling to visualize how everything will look together. I felt like I was not giving her much to go on in terms of feedback but she was able to quickly zero in on what resonated with me, and offered options in different price ranges. While I never felt like she was pushing me into a direction I wasn't comfortable with, she did encourage me to go a bit out of my comfort zone and consider things that would never have entered my mind (which is kind of the point, right?) Kim is ultra-focused and extremely efficient. I really don't know how she covered as much ground as she did on the day she was here, I felt like she made the most of every minute . As a result we even had time at the end of the day for her to tackle a few random one offs that had been bugging me for years and even pick out paper, paint and light fixtures for laundry room The day was a whirlwind but oh so fun! Within less than a week of our meeting she sent me the completed design boards along with an item-by-item list of the products we had selected along with links directly to the vendor sites. She also included detailed instructions /work orders to give to for example the firm making the custom draperies and floor plans so I could remember where everything goes. This made the implementation so easy. I am so pleased with the overall result and the whole process. I highly recommend Kim Armstrong!

I had such a negative experience with the customer service from Rutherford's! It was disheartening…read morethat I had to sleep on it before writing my review. I have been shopping at Rutherford's for almost 25 years. I myself have owned my own business & consider myself a very understanding, positive person in almost every situation life brings upon us. That being said...I also believe the heart of our lives is our Home. More so today than ever before. Home is our safe place to be & recharge. I also entertain at home & many of my friends say I have the gift of hospitality. I am not the least bit pretentious. That saying treat the janitor the same as the CEO is exactly how I've been raised. Thank you, please & a friendly tone go a long way. Excellent Customer Service is so important in business. The human connection can truly save any situation, turn a negative into a positive. We all have that favorite server at our favorite restaurant that we feel are like much loved family. When we make a human connection with others, when they get us we should continue to share with them. In all my business encounters when I find a person who is passionate about their job & executes it with knowledge, friendliness & communication...that's customer service. I want to encourage that relationship by asking for their service, be it my restaurant server, the person I purchase a car, furniture or the person I choose for home decor. This past year I had a lampshade blinged up by Pamela, couldn't have been happier. She had perfect insight & suggestions on how to make my lamp enhance my home. She took into account my colors & my taste. Even though it was a small lamp & a tiny sale, Pamela treated my purchase with the same respect as if it was a million dollar sale. Returning to Rutherford's on Monday to have 3 lampshades blinged I was going to set up an appointment with Pamela. Against my better judgement I let an acquaintance talk me out of it. Should have gone with my gut instinct. Upon entering the store I pretty much had an idea what I wanted, but always love the designers insight cause they are the professionals. I made the choices for 2 out of 3 of my lamps completely by myself. The 3rd shade was more difficult to find a match. Finally I settled on a it will do choice, do I like it, yes...not in love with it. After an hour my brain was cooked. Pamela would have had it completed more timely, she & I were connected on the same color wheel. Ok, so I'm paying for my lampshade jewerly & this employee tells me Wednesday morning pickup. She will call me when my shades are ready. That's a longer turn around than I've ever had but I'm good. Happy to know Rutherford's is busy during this Pandemic. Wednesday morning works, my dinner guests were coming Wednesday night to taste test some new recipes for my future cookbook. Wednesday rolls around & it's 1:00, no phone call, so I call just to touch base. This employee is with another customer, no worries, I ask the person who answered the phone about my shades. She says they have no shades that she is aware of being done, ready for pickup. I leave a message for the employee who helped me, to call when she's available, no panic necessary. 2 1/2 hours later I have had no return phone call, so at 3:30 I call. She tells me she hasn't started my shades yet. No apologizes, no concern. Flat tone, she will have them done by 2:00 on Thursday. I never had tone, I was truly speechless. Ok, I feel like I've been kicked in the stomach, ouch! I'm so very disappointed. My naked lamps for my company to see the minute they enter my home. If I had known it was going to take over 3 days I would have done them myself. BTW, we all tasted some yummy food & we had some interesting dinner conversation. Thursday I never received a phone call either. Do you see the zero Customer Service??! Well, my Thursday was crazy, my Hubby & I raced to Rutherford's knowing they close at 5:30. There's also tons of construction on Lovers. We get there with 3 minutes to spare but the door is already locked. Employees are still inside so I'm about to ring them on my phone when dear Pamela sees us & comes to the door. She recognizes me, she's says your shades look beautiful, you made some excellent choices. We enter the store to pickup my shades & I want to give them a look over. The employee who waited on me...no acknowledgement of me at all! No hope you like your shades, no apologize, not even a hello!!!! NO CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!! The whole time Pamela is waiting on me. It's difficult for me to be critical, but I share with Pamela I'm disappointed that the ribbon on my entry shade is done incorrectly. On the top ribbon it was supposed to be half the size & it's crooked. Pamela offers to fix it but I'm concerned the fabric glue will show. I'll just live with it. Thank You Pamela, you were wonderful, can't say the same for the other woman who gave me zero Customer Service!

Totally loved the place. Needed tassles for tying back curtains. Not exactly an every day request…read more Luckily I have friends who know this stuff. So off we went to Rutherfords. They let us check out a few - interesting what you can do with mismatched tassles, but I digress.

Anyhow, we found the tassles we wanted, returned the samples and have ordered them. Very nice people in the store and an array of beautiful things.

But Spruced made it easy, understanding our vision, goals, and budget and offering options to help us achieve them.
