I can't say enough great things about working with Shaolin Low. I hired her when I was in escrow on…read moremy condo in Waikiki. I reached out in November, closed in early December, and by mid-January everything was fully installed and move-in ready. Two months from hiring to completion -- and only about six weeks from closing to full installation. That timeline alone still amazes me. Shaolin and her team handled absolutely everything: interior design, purchasing all furniture and materials, coordinating and managing contractors for the TV wall, roller blinds, and ceiling fans, receiving and storing items, and final installation and setup. It was completely turnkey. I provided the budget, and she went to work. Early on, she asked me what vibe I wanted. I told her I wanted a vacation resort feel -- and that's exactly what I got. The space feels comfortable, elevated, and relaxing. Everyone who has seen it absolutely loves it. There was one pivot near the end when the couch she originally specified became unavailable. Instead of it becoming an issue, she adjusted quickly and the replacement ended up being ideal. Honestly, it worked out perfectly. If you're considering hiring Shaolin, the most important thing to understand is that you have to trust her. She takes the reins on design decisions and purchasing. There were a few individual items I personally might not have selected myself, but when I step back and look at the finished result as a whole, I'm extremely happy. She delivers a cohesive vision and makes the process effortless for the client. I truly can't imagine trying to coordinate all of this on my own -- especially from closing through installation. She made what could have been overwhelming feel smooth and organized. If you want a beautiful result and a true turnkey experience, Shaolin is the one to call.

She sent over an agreement that detailed what to expect from the consult. All very professional. On our appointment day, she arrived right on time. For a little over an hour, we sat and discussed my situation ( too much stuff, tired of wall paint color, new carpet and sofa bed needed). She looked at the space and her comments were practical and insightful. A few days later, I got a floor plan layout, and example of furniture and carpet colors. I did a follow up phone call with questions and budget concerns. After our call, she emailed me more budget friendly ideas, and generously shared her contacts at various stores so I would have more personal assistance if needed.. In the 2 hours I contracted her for, I got what I needed. I feel my money was well spent. And I got to meet a really gracious and nice woman.

She really takes the time to get to know her clients, and it shows in the final product! A project of this scale requires an overwhelming number of decisions in a very short period of time. Not only did Joan guide us through the process with humor and efficiency (and with an eye on the budget), she also connected us with a talented contractor and several good vendors - invaluable since we are new to the island. We would love to work with her again!

After moving back to Mililani Mauka in 2011, I knew that I wanted to do a makeover of my home but…read morewas never quite able to put it together. I knew what I wanted but didn't have the time or know how to blend everything into the home environment that I envisioned. Initially, I consulted with several other design companies but never really felt very comfortable with any one person or company. When I met Lenore for the first time, she seemed to be very down to earth and was more than willing to work within my budget. She was also very accommodating with my work schedule and often times met up with contractors and gave me updates when it was convenient for me. She provided me with drawings, samples of materials, and ideas as far as what she felt would work or blend well together. In the end, my home renovation was completed. I was very happy with the results and also ended up with a friend in Lenore. We still keep in touch to this day. I highly recommend Lenore if you need assistance with a home remodel/interior design project no matter how big or small it may be. You will not be disappointed.

I moved to Manoa in 2009 and the home was in desperate need of a makeover. It wasn't until 2012…read morethat I was finally ready to renovate and chose to use the interior design services of Design Fruition. Lenore was very professional and knew exactly where my problem areas were and knew exactly how to fix them. I could tell she had a great eye. She had produced drawings, samples and ideas that I simply fell in love with. With the use of space planning, a lot of paint, re-design work and furnishings that she helped to choose, she converted my home into what is now the sanctuary that I've always wanted to come home to. Not only is she experienced, but she is also accommodating and always made time for me. A true professional yet Lenore made me feel comfortable from the beginning. I've enjoyed her work so much that I've just recently acquired her services for home staging a property that I am trying to sell. I would highly recommend Lenore and Design Fruition to any person looking for interior design or home staging services.

I was impressed that between our initial meeting, one painting and several conversations, she was able to key in on my style. Jodi was very thoughtful when it came to spending my money and ensured the project stayed within budget. She included me on every large dollar purchase and always made me feel she had my best interest in mind. Ultimately, the experience was amazing and the result, equally as satisfying. I would hire Jodi again. If anyone wants to see her work, just call me 487-5066.
