The GRD team was great during my long awaited kitchen remodel. Working with Gina was a breeze, and…read moreshe took me through the process with ease and encouragement, every step of the way. Appointments were prompt and everything stayed on schedule and on budget. I was happy to work collaboratively with her in the final decision process and I'm beyond ecstatic with the finished product. Her esthetic is the reason I hired her and she heard me and helped me narrow down my sometimes scattered ideas, (so many options!) My kitchen remodel is essentially an entire house remodel since we opened the floor plan. The final styling was fantastic as well, and I feel like I live in the pages of a lifestyle magazine ;-) Thank you!!! *It's called Pretty In Pink on the site. Go see!

I could not be more thankful for Gina on my project. I recently opened a small fitness studio and…read moreas soon as I signed the lease, I knew I had to hire Gina. She had a real sense of how to understand my style but also suggest options I might not have thought of. Gina's talents and skills are many and well honed. She has great intuition on what to spend on and what to save on. Her ability to manage the project was on point. I always felt she was in control and had my best interest at heart. Lastly, her taste level and eye for design made the space very special and I am so thankful to her. She is a joy to work with and I highly recommend Gina to everyone I can.

Liz is a lovely person and very easy to work with. We highly recommend her.

Liz is meticulous and it shows in the end result. She made slipcovers for two chairs and I did not want the "shabby chic" look. I am so pleased with the result. See for yourself in attached photo how fitted they look. I have been in the decorating business and would not hesitate to recommend Liz to clients. Not only is she skilled with great attention to detail, she is also kind, considerate, and engaging to talk with. If I didn't have her to my home to make me slip covers, I could easily have had her over for coffee and had a great conversation!

They are actually one of a kind show pieces! From fabric choice to fabrication and her suggestion of nailhead trim she really hit a home run!

I was trying to match colors with furniture and carpets and have it flow throughout the house....unsuccessfully. In came Julia and it all came together without a hitch! Julia helped me choose new blinds for my kitchen/dining area, she found the fabric (which I love) and designed a valance that was within my price range and looks great. She's currently making me two pillows out of my valance material. I can't wait to have a dinner party to show off the new changes to my home. Julia not only knows her stuff, she is fun! I would definitely recommend her and should the need ever arise again for an interior decorator, I would call her without hesitation.

I have now done several jobs with Dianne. She really seeks to understand your style, and the feel…read moreyou want to go with. She is able to mix more expensive with lower cost items to pull together stunning rooms. She worked on our home and then we had her do our healthcare office. She really captured the medical spa feel I wanted and our patients give us so many compliments. People always ask what color is this or where did you buy this. She is very pleasant to work with and really gets what you are trying to accomplish. She listens and changes course when it is needed. Dianne is efficient with her time and her ability to pull together a room from paint color to décor is a skill I wish I had. I would absolutely recommend her for either a room or your whole house! I plan to have her come back and help with more projects soon.

After we spent thousands of dollars on design fees, the quote for the furniture and rugs exceeded our budget by 33%. When questioned, Jim replied... "Oh, the budget for decorating never includes design fees, tax, or delivery". Wow, that would have been nice to know upfront. In all my business dealings a budget is a budget. Our issues started early and continued almost 18 months Jim came up with 5 designs for our great room. Of course, we paid for this in design time. We spent hours going thru magazines to show Jim what our taste in decorating was. We wanted "comfortable and classy", what he came back with looked nothing like what we had asked for. Clearly, he didn't listen but was happy to charge us for more time spent on design. The furniture he quoted was overpriced even with the "designer discount" as I found it less expensive online. When we informed Jim that we would order some furniture ourselves he told us he strongly advised against it stating the problems that can arise that often need attorneys to get involved. Well, the opposite happened, our online orders were handled very well with strong communication and delivery included in our pricing. In addition, when the first set of chairs, ordered thru Ireko, arrived they were damaged, then again 5 months later when the "repaired" chairs were received, once again they were damaged in different places. So much for careful inspection before we came to pick them up...oh, I forgot, the freight charged is to a storage facility, not to your home. That is an extra delivery charge.

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.

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.

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.
