The Creative Design showroom is a great place to see your options. Sarah was our designer and was able to provide a rendition of what new black uppers would look like with our existing cherry lower cabinets.

I have already recommended Creative Design to our neighbor who loved how our kitchen came out. The whole team was a pleasure to work with.

Hosea's painter team did nothing short of a miracle job. Really…read more I wholeheartedly recommend you go with them. You can't go wrong. I appreciated his teams' skills and most importantly his ethics, honesty and integrity. I recruited Hosea and his team for a risky paint job due to the unusual designer type of paint we were going to use. Also, I had a very tight deadline at risk of not being able to move in. Every painters told me they needed at least 2 weeks or more to finish it, even with a 3-person teams. This even included a large national paint companies (those who specialized on commercial or corporate buildings). Hosea's team were able to finish it in just about a week or slightly more, allowing me to move in right in time. I used a designer paint complex to handle and prone to mistake from inexperienced painters with this particular paint. As expected, they made a mistake, but owned it without creating difficulties. The end result ended up very fan-tas-tic, above and beyond expectations. And the pricing (certainly not cheap) was rightly fair and quite reasonable I think. I am so glad I selected Hosea for this impossible mission job. It was a total success. Attached are photos before/after the job. Paint was from Farrow & Ball with the exception of the windows trim (Sherwin Williams).

I worked with Laura at Charlestown Home Improvement on two interior design projects and was…read morethrilled with both experiences. In one, she created a beautiful, thoughtful design starting with a completely empty space; in the other, she helped refine and enhance the design of my home using some existing furniture and recommending new pieces where needed. Laura listens, asks the right questions, and offers creative options without being pushy. Both times, she created spaces that I am truly proud to call home. Highly recommend!

We found the most beautiful travertine tile for the shower and bathroom floor at this place for a killer price. It looks beautiful and knowing that I paid 40% less than the tile stores/home depot makes me grin each and every time I step foot in there! Does Grossman have everything you need like a homedepot or lowes? Probably not, but it is certainly worth a drive. Are they the most knowledgeable team? No, not at all. But check it out--you, too, might score big and instantly become a fan!
