Rosayln gave me gorgeous, accessible and practical ideas on how to brighten and bring more life to my home. It's obvious that she loves what she does and has a special gift and eye for design. She tapped right in to boho-chic style that I wanted and presented design elements I never would have thought to try. With a map of where I can go and permission to experiment, my living room is transforming and I have more confidence in my own decision-making process. Creating a true home is a process of devotion and if you want someone who understand this on both the inner and material levels, you won't be disappointed with her guidance.

My name is Alaura O'Dell, and I have been a resident of Sonoma County since 1992. In 1999 I bought…read morea beautiful home in Santa Rosa for my daughters, & I. Since my daughters moved out of our family home, my big project was to have all of the walls inside the house painted an off-white color, which I then filled with my art collection. The rooms that became the most neglected over the years were the master bedroom and the master bathroom. They badly needed a facelift and redesign that reflected who I was today, not who I was when I moved into the house nearly twenty-five years ago. I chose to ask Rosalyn if she would look at my bedroom and bathroom after I saw her flyer and the beautiful designs she had created. Also, I had been inside her home, which she built and has designed so lovely and authentically to who she is, with many artistic accents. Rosalyn came over to my home and, in a very easy hour, she looked over the rooms and asked me questions which focused on how I would like to feel, and what I would like to see in these rooms. She then took measurements and went away to work on the design. In a short time she emailed over a detailed design board, with a suggested color palette, photos of furniture, rug, and window treatments and other styling suggestions, which were incredibly beautiful, along with 3D rendered visuals of how the rooms could look with her suggested layout. It encompassed all the things that I had mentioned I would like, such as the shabby chic style blended with elements of romanticism. I also really appreciated the way she incorporated Feng Shui in the designs for a more harmonious layout of the bedroom and bathroom. I am so excited to start working on buying the materials and new furnishings to complete the design work, which I am so satisfied and happy with. Rosalyn even found the most ideal Arts & Crafts wallpaper for my bedroom, inspired by the English designer William Morris, which connects me to my British roots. Another detail I was so pleased with. And, there were many others. This is my first-time working with an interior designer. I know Rosalyn will be my interior designer for future projects in my home as she listened to my needs, wants, and concerns, including staying within budget. She is incredibly talented, sincere,and very easy to work with.

Natasha and the Inspired Spaces crew were incredible to work with. I came to Natasha pretty broken…read moreand feeling really burned by a bad contractor who turned our simple project into an entire home rebuild. I knew I was way out of my element since I've never built a home from the ground up (and never wanted to, if we're being honest) and I knew I needed professional help. Natasha and the team helped me not only to design my dream home, but to enjoy the process too. They were able to take my vision and give me the tools to bring it to life. They were able to offer reassurance that everything would work out. Natasha and her crew offer so much insight and have deep knowledge of the entire process which was really valuable for me when I questioned what I was hearing from our new contractor. I can not recommend Natasha and Inspired Spaces enough for any project. They have the skills, the local connections, the design eye and they also have heart. They care a lot about their clients and it shows in every aspect of how they show up.

We recommend Natasha Stocker and Inspired Spaces wholeheartedly and with absolute confidence. Her…read morekeen eye for detail, upbeat attitude, and collaborative abilities make her a rock star. But her ability to listen and distill our swirling, incoherent ideas into something truly beautiful makes her a superstar. We have a 70's ranch house set down in the woods. The house is about 40 years old, we have been in it for 25 years, and had it had never received much attention. It was always too dark and closed off. There was a funky West County hallway that was also two bathrooms. We loved raising our children here, but now we were ready to open it up to the redwood trees and sunshine outside. We had a contractor who was really good with the structure, but we had no idea how to put the rooms together. Within moments of meeting Natasha we felt 100 percent comfortable. She never once sold herself to us, or tried to move us in a direction we were uncomfortable with. Instead, she urged us to shop where we were comfortable, find deals on Craigslist, and repurpose existing furniture. She delighted in our finds, encouraged us at every turn, and turned every one of our perplexed meanderings into an encouraging way forward. From the first painted color brushed onto the first new wall, everything Natasha picked was stunning. We spent months in disbelief as each color and recommendation made its way from proposal to reality. In the world of construction, we found out that things don't happen all at once. Sometimes it would take weeks for all the colors and elements of Natasha's design in a room or space to come together, and every time we were giddy with satisfaction. Our beautiful house literally brings tears to our eyes. We feel so grateful that we met Natasha and that she gave us this incredible space. This was our first project and we are spoiled now. Natasha took our every thought and turned our home into something that is both uniquely our own creation, and, impossibly beyond anything we could have managed on our own. Oh yeah, and her staff is courteous, responsive, kind and warm and talented in their own right. Thank you, Natasha! Thank you Inspired Spaces.

After picking out our own exterior home colors the last three times, we decided our cookie-cutter…read moreefforts lacked the curb appeal we always hope for. After all, we have seen beautifully painted homes all over Sonoma County, so why couldn't we be one? It's because we needed the right help... as in, a professional color consultant. After leafing through the local internet and talking with several such people, we chose Barbara Jacobs. Her portfolio, her confidence, her genuine interest and more were what settled us on her. Barbara came over, surveyed our home and environs, and over coffee, discussed our likes and dislikes. Then over a several week process, we kept winnowing out the close but not ideal colors until we were left with four colors that to us, seemed perfect. It wasn't until Carlos Garcia, the owner of Color Essentials Painting finished up that what seemed perfect...was. We never got there without Barbara, and we certainly would not have again. Thanks a million Barbara... you did it!

She demonstrated a wealth of knowledge about color and paint, and was a nice person to interact with. Barbara provided advice that matched our tastes, but also injected helpful ideas we hadn't considered (unlike other designers I've worked who were either too wishy-washy or too pushy). She provides a premium service at premium pricing; the cost will limit how frequently I can use her services, but she certainly provided excellent color advice. My wife and I are very happy with the results.

Horrible experience after purchasing reed diffusers…read more I came upon this cute shop on a mini vacay and purchased several bottles of the Bohemian Botanical "reed diffusers". When I returned home was excited to put out the diffusers only to fine the 3 out of the 4 bottles purchased were "bad". I called the next day explained the 3 defective bottles was told some one would call me back waited a couple days no call back, I called back again spoke to Faith , she assured me someone would contact me she took me name & mailing address said they would mail out new reed diffusers . great I thought waited another week nothing came in the mail. I called back again Faith again said she would have someone call me back and unfortunately the diffusers can get bad milky thick and white , yes I told her 3 out of 4 bottles I purchased were like this, waited a few more days and nothing! I contacted my bank disputed the charges for 3 reed diffuser bottles my bank refunded my $$. Buyer beware when purchasing "reed diffuser " bottles if the liquid inside bottles appear milky white and thick these are damaged contaminated and should be thrown out . Unfortunately I didn't think to look at the liquid in bottles

Bob arrived and gave a quote -- it was A LOT, but we went ahead and proceeded based on the other good reviews. Bob recommended a mantel company called Mantels Direct, which we went under the assumption that Fireplace Transformations had established relationships with dealers and knew what they were doing. Unfortunately, despite being over $2200, the mantel was a really cheap composite wood with visible lines across the seams both on the wood and the marble. After complaining about this, Fireplace Transformations said this wasn't their problem, despite the fact that they were the ones who had recommended the company. The fireplace and mantel installation itself was not very good. Not only did it look sloppy, but Bob never came by to check on the work or make sure we were happy with it. They completely cut us loose after it was installed. Any complaints were met with defensiveness and redirection. But don't take my word for it. Pictures are worth 1000 words. This is the FINISHED product, mind you. If you're looking to overpay at a one-stop shop for mediocre quality and sloppy installation, then Fireplace Transformations will happily oblige.
