Referring to the owner:…read more Amazing knowledge about Japanese art. I was referred to Laurie Petrie-Rogers from an art appraiser Peter Held implying she is "the best in her field". I have an unknown wood block print which I asked Laurie for assistance in determining what it is. Within 24 hours with pictures only, Laurie was able to determine the piece I own appears to be an original authentic woodblock Isoda Koryusai print. She is very detailed, knowledgeable, and went well and beyond assisting me with sound advice on how to take care of this print. If anyone reads this review, I would highly recommend visiting this gallery especially with an individual like Laurie managing it! Thank you so much!!! Neil M

If ever I would give a 6-star rating, this would be it. I…read moreoriginally found Melesio because we needed some tile work done and I took a bunch of cards from Floor & Decor. I emailed all of them and Melesio was the only one to give a straight answer. That was 10 years ago. Since that time his guys have done our kitchen, living room, family room, den, and 3 bathrooms. Oh yes and our entry way. There have always been different workers and they always do the same excellent work. The house in Tempe got flooded and there was some rope tile (see photo) that could not be found by the restoration company, insurance company, or any of the tile companies and none of them could make the rope cuts on the tile. I went back to Melesio and he said "no problem." Sure enough he did it no problem. This guy gives good prices, efficient service, and all his workers are trustworthy. The photos do not actually do their work justice, he is great! Anyone who needs tile work, I would call or email him. arvizu-flooring@hotmail.com

This is a hard review to write because I can't quite word how I feel about what Paul Rene did to my…read morehome. I also have a hard time taking the pictures that would best showcase the work they did. So I'm just going to do my best. 1- My library is absolutely and insanely beautiful. The lines, the wood, the feeling, the craftsmanship are all one of a kind and special to my wife and I. 2- The sturdiness of the install is exceptional. There is a rolling ladder that actually rolls around a corner. That is not normal. It is beyond what you would expect, and just amazing to use. The track system that the ladder slides on is super unique and low profile. It is sturdy and functional. I love it. 3- The creativity Paul Rene employed to design and manufacture this library was beyond what I could have envisioned. He sat with my wife and I and listened to us. We are lifetime collectors of books and avid readers. Every book on our shelves have been read at least once. When we sat down together he asked about our personalities, what we loved about books, our personal taste. A few weeks later he came up with a draft design. We worked back and forth for a few more weeks adjusting lines and adding more curves until we have the library you see pictured in the review. 4- Paul Rene worked hard to install the library. The team they used to install everything were courteous, and incredibly professional. After a month, I asked them to come back to look at a part of the ladder slide system and they were here adjusting it in no time. I can say this honestly- Paul is an artist without peer. My photos barely capture what he designed., and what I have the joy of living with. His partner Rene is a technical master at construction. Bringing the vision to a function that is delicate and sturdy enough to hold thousands of well loved books. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions regarding Paul Rene.

I hired Paul to do design and build a custom office furniture set up as we've got an odd sized room…read moreto serve as our office. I needed something that was very functional given the limited space but would also help make it very aesthetically pleasing given the amount of time I spend in my office. Paul's got a great eye for design both for use of space and materials and his process made it easy to get the most from his creative capability while capturing the ideas I had. We're so pleased with the office build-out that we decided to do two more pieces of work with Paul right away. Highly recommend if you're in the market for beautiful and functional furniture.

Think you can't afford an interior designer? Don't be so sure. My husband and I bought some…read morefurniture (impulse buy) less than 9 months ago and have been sorry from the day it arrived. Funny how fabric on a 6-inch swatch looks totally different on a large sofa. After many arguments and fruitless hours looking for just an area rug, we were left with only three options. 1. Divorce with a custody battle over who had to take the furniture. 2. Take up smoking so we could accidentally set the sofa on fire. 3. Hire an interior designer. The least costly of the three. We went with the latter, and it was the best decision we could have made. I found Suzanne on a Google search, not the preferred way to find a designer, but we lucked out. She is flexible and will provide as much or as little guidance in the design process as you would like, anything from just a consultation on paint color to actually shopping for and purchasing the furnishings, the route we chose. Suzanne is fast, too. Within a week of getting our painting completed, she had purchased and arranged for delivery of all of our new furnishings (she also used what we had already bought). We were not allowed to see the room until it was completed, just like on HGTV. I used to think the shocked look on the homeowner's face was well-rehearsed, but my husband and I could not believe it was the same room! And although we had the option to return anything we did not like, of about 30 items she chose for us, which included everything from furniture and accessories to lighting and artwork, we returned one piece. And this is from someone who thinks they need self-check return lines. She was always mindful of our budget, which was probably pathetic by Scottsdale standards, but you can't tell by the finished project (I have posted a couple photos). She also offers redesign services, using your existing stuff in new ways. As for the area rug, we love what she chose. Unfortunately, so do the two destruction machines that sneak out every night to claw it. We're hitting PetsMart this weekend for devices to scare the crap out of them, wait I don't need that on the rug either! I'm sure the puking on it will come sooner rather than later.

She was excellent from start to finish, offering excellent communication, fair pricing and always arriving on time for every single appointment. She also provided amazing referrals for the work that was done. At her recommendation the construction work was performed by M3 Remodeling, they provided outstanding work at a competitive price. Work done included removing a wall separating two rooms, converting the fire place into a very eye catching feature, new floors, full master bathroom transformation, furniture for the entire home, new artwork and more. I am completely thrilled to have worked with Suzanne, and would highly recommend an initial consultation with her to see if her services can be beneficial.

Absolutely Exceptional Designer -- and an Even Better Human…read more I met Celia through Feathers Fine Furniture, and working with her has been one of the best decisions I've made for my home. Every single choice she's guided me through has turned out breathtakingly beautiful. She has an incredible eye for fabrics -- the pillows she designed and the chairs she reupholstered are truly out of this world. I get compliments on them constantly. Celia also helped me choose the colors and placement for my pendant lighting and gave me the brilliant idea to put a large mirror on a feature wall -- it looks fabulous and completely transformed the space. She advised me on artwork I discovered at the store, helping me understand how it would look in my home, and she thoughtfully guided placement of multiple pieces. She also picked out my coffee tables and a stunning rug -- pieces I absolutely love and likely would have overlooked without her vision. Her talent is undeniable. She notices things most people would miss, and everything she touches ends up feeling cohesive, elevated, and special. Beyond her design expertise, Celia is simply a wonderful person to her core. Kind, patient, genuine, and so easy to work with. I can't recommend her highly enough. If you're looking for someone who not only transforms spaces but makes the whole experience enjoyable, Celia is the one.
