Working with Dawn was amazing! I reached out for help selecting a paint color for a tricky room in…read moreour house (the kitchen). During our 2-hour consultation, Dawn not only found a color that perfectly matched our style, counters, and backsplash but also spotted opportunities to refresh the colors in the dining room and entry to bring the whole design together. Her color savvy is fantastic, and she asked great questions and listened carefully to incorporate our preferences and ideas. She left us with paint swatches for all three rooms, and the new colors look incredible. Dawn's color consultation more than exceeded our expectations, but she didn't stop there! She also suggested ways to update the kitchen and dining room lighting to be more functional and coordinated. Her after-visit email summary included links to all of the ideas she had offered, including multiple options for fixtures that were very affordable and perfect for our spaces. We love the new lighting. To top it all off, when we told Dawn about our longer-term goal of renovating our kitchen, she offered fantastic ideas for reconfiguring the space to make it more functional and appealing. She followed up with detailed recommendations in her after-visit email summary and included rough drawings to help us visualize thew space. The 2-hour consultation with Dawn was an incredible value, and we definitely want to work with her on the kitchen renovation project!

Dawn provided detailed layout plans along with furniture, bedding, electronics, and artwork recommendations--all of which perfectly matched my style and lifestyle. Her guidance not only made the process easy, but it also saved me over $900. I truly got everything I asked for and more. Thank you, Dawn! I will absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for an interior decorator."

My wife and I selected Chi Renovation to do a complete remodel of our primary bathroom and to add a…read morehalf bathroom to our basement. We have nothing but the highest praise to give to them for delivering such a fantastic end result. The team we worked with was fantastic. We really enjoyed the hands on process of working with Elizabeth, our designer, who helped guide us through the entire process of creating our dream primary bathroom. We had a fair bit of back and forth throughout the design process but it resulted in some highly detailed and thorough design plans, which included realistic renderings, all the selected hardware and finishes, and overall layouts. We felt like we got great advice from Elizabeth, and she really listened to what kind of look and feel we were going for. We then got with Daniel, our project manager, who helped turn the plans we received into reality. He was also a pleasure to work with and always provided very clear project updates via text and phone. The teams he assembled for electrical, plumbing, and carpentry were all very professional and did great work. Daniel was also a great problem solver who was able to come up with clever solutions to any issues that came up. In summary, we are very happy owners of two completely new bathrooms spaces designed and built by the lovely team at Chi Renovation. We would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a remodel in the Chicago area.

We first worked with Chireno in 2020 when they remodeled our kitchen, and we loved the results so…read moremuch that we didn't hesitate to use them again for our bathrooms. We recently had our bathrooms remodeled, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The scope of our project included a full renovation of primary, kids and guest bathrooms, and the quality of craftsmanship really shows in every space. From the tile work to the fixtures and overall layout, everything feels high-quality and thoughtfully done. We especially appreciated the unique elements incorporated into the design, like the wall-mounted faucets, recessed vanities, heated floors, and heated bidets--features that truly elevated both the look and comfort of our bathrooms. The team was excellent to work with from start to finish. Elizabeth, our designer, and Eric, our project manager, were both fantastic and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. Elizabeth helped bring our vision to life with thoughtful design choices and a great eye for the overall look and feel, while Eric kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. Our contractor, also named Eric, did very high-quality work, and it really shows in the finished product. Everyone we interacted with was professional, respectful, and clearly took pride in their work. Communication was consistent, and we always felt informed about what was happening next. The team's level of care and precision really stood out--they made sure everything was done right. The entire process, from design to construction to the final finishing touches, was smooth and well-managed. They helped guide us through design decisions without pressure, kept the project moving on schedule, and made sure the final result matched (and even exceeded) our expectations. The end result is a set of bathrooms that not only look amazing but feel built to last. We're extremely happy with the quality of work and the overall experience, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering a remodel.

Walking down Milwaukee street I came across this beautiful little shop. I think that its main…read morefunction is to help you design, but there are also nice home decor items strewn around. As I am not really into the whole decor thing, I looked around for gifts instead. I found some really awesome hidden gems and some old favorites in that tiny little space. Yes, they are on the expensive side, but there are some discounted items and some cheaper gifts hidden in there as well. Me being me, I ended up leaving with three bottles of "poo-pourri", you know, because I am a child, and also because that stuff works. Seriously.

Unfortunately, due to some previous owner DIY projects, we were forced to renovate our 1990s…read morebathroom and closet sooner than planned. We had a giant tub, a pie-shaped closet, and so much lost space. We needed help conceptualizing how to make the space work aesthetically and functionally. Rebecca not only took our wants list but listened to our lifestyle to understand what we needed out of the space. Her vision is beyond what we could have ever imagined. A month later, we are still talking about how it doesn't feel real how fantastic our Master Bathroom became, a room we adore. Her style is simple, flawless, yet dreamy. She can take an extremely stressful process and make it seamless and easy. She did everything from conceptual layout to vendor selection, procurement, and finishing touches. We did not have an endless budget, and she was conscious of our means but did not ask us to jeopardize style or quality. She went above and beyond to provide us with options, shopping around pricing with her vendors (all of which were great to work with). Her service and style are top-notch. I will only ever do another project with her help.

Rebecca was a pleasure to work with on design projects. We used Unfurled Interiors for both our…read morepowder room and primary bathroom. She took my input/inspo pics and turned them into reality, saving me hours upon hours of time and research. Not only did she guide me to beautiful selections, and peace of mind with those choices, but she also put me in touch with trusted vendors, which provided additional peace of mind. Overall a great experience and I would recommend her to anyone!

Tina is just wonderful! We have now worked with Tina on two major projects: a primary bathroom…read moreredesign, and a total remodel of our kitchen, laundry, powder, and mudrooms. Tina is a consumate professional who really takes her time to get to know her clients' style and preferences and then works within your budget to deliver stunning results! Tina has a fabulous eye for color, texture, and sources everything you need for your projects from paint colors, fabrics, flooring and countertops, wallpaper--right down to the smallest details like cabinet hardware and decorative entryway coat hooks. As a result, she totally transforms your space into one that reflects your tase but elevates your style. She really worked hard to keep our projects on schedule and in line with the overall design concept by communicating clearly to us and our contractors throughout each phase of the design and build process. Her attention to detail is truly unmatched. Tina saved us so much time by applying her exquisite and intuitive design skills to our projects. We could not have imagined how beautiful our home would look when we started the renovations. We are thrilled with the results and will continue to work with Tina on all of our future projects. We cannot recommend Tina highly enough!

I worked with tdf interiors for my first home redesign. I was sick of my home consisting of…read moremismatched furniture, was embarrassed to have guests over, and was frustrated by my lack of storage space. Even when my home was clean, it looked cluttered and dirty. Once I started working from home more, I realized I needed to invest in the help of a professional who could help make my space a comfortable place to work and live. I was referred to Tina by a friend whose home I absolutely love. Like me, she has pets but somehow managed to keep all of her pet stuff from overtaking her living room. She admitted that she had help from a professional interior designer and gave me Tina's email address. Tina worked with me to figure out what my goals were via a detailed questionnaire, what my style is, and helped me figure out what I like and don't like. I sent her a list of ideas and examples and she somehow turned my hodgepodge of ideas into a reality that came together beautifully. There was no way I could have ever gotten my home to the place it is now by myself. Having never used an interior designer before, I had no idea how much a room could be transformed. It's like I moved into a different home. She also made the process extremely easy on me and I felt like I didn't have to invest a ton of time into making this transformation happen- she just took care of all the annoying and time consuming parts for me. Her rates are reasonable and she will work with you to stay within your budget. She was flexible with my needs and I didn't feel like she ever pushed me towards something I didn't want. She primarily works in the Lake Forest/Chicago area, but I live in Virginia and she was able to work remotely with me via phone, email, and FaceTime. So glad my friend referred me to her!
