We had an exceptional experience working with Gwen to fully furnish our new home in Mount Baker…read more From the start, she was incredibly thoughtful in her approach--incorporating art we had already collected and using our existing dining table as a centerpiece to ground the design. She built everything out from there in a way that felt cohesive, elevated, and still deeply personal to us. Her communication, efficiency, sourcing, and design aesthetic are truly outstanding. She handled a large, complex project with impressive speed and attention to detail, and the end result exceeded our expectations. What stands out most is how livable and enjoyable the space is. We've hosted many gatherings since moving in, and both we and our guests consistently appreciate the design. We've received countless compliments from friends and family, and it's genuinely a pleasure to experience her work every day. We wouldn't hesitate to work with Gwen again and are already looking forward to the opportunity!

In early 2021, I found myself moving from a 1 bedroom condo to 4 bedroom newly constructed home…read more Needless to say, the place was empty and the furniture that I did have was a poor fit with the design and style of my new house. I found Gwenn on an internet search. I interviewed a few other designers but hired Gwen after her receiving her detailed follow-up email from the initial visit. In that email she clearly articulated a vision for how my house should be furnished and accessorized. I was sold: "Based on what I gathered from you and your home, I imagine the design of your space would fall somewhere in the realm of warm contemporary, comfy, understated but a touch swanky, masculine, PNW natural / rustic. Neutral and subdued colors, varied natural textures, layered and homey, soulful. Furnished with timeless and quality elements that could work in future homes too." Gwen has executed on the vision perfectly all the while taking my feedback and taste into consideration. Gwen selected furniture, carpets, lighting, art, plants, and décor for my office, living room, bonus room, master bedroom, kitchen, outdoor patio, and hallways. She helped me accessorize my kitchen with all new cookware, knives, silverware, gadgets, etc. Saying that Gwen selected all of these items does not do justice to her work. The pieces selected were of the highest quality. Quality observable to the eye and to the touch. Most the pieces selected are themselves a work of art that give me joy just to look at daily. Some of the pieces were custom made to be the perfect fit for the space. Gwen found the craftspeople and helped design these custom pieces. Gwen was a consummate professional throughout the entire process. She did all the coordination of ordering and deliveries. Gwen found electricians to install the lighting and spent all day here making sure that a custom light fixture was installed. Her punctuality is something that I must comment on because when she told me that she would be at my house at a certain time I could set my watch to her arrival. I sincerely appreciated this punctuality because I believe it speaks volumes to how she cares about her clients and her craft. All of this work and sourcing was during COVID shutdowns when lead times on furniture exploded which made the project more difficult. All of the accounting and billing was online and easily accessible. In summary, Gwen designed the spaces in my home in a way that bring a smile to my face ever day. She did all of the work and minimized the amount of effort needed by me. I couldn't be happier with the result.

I'm genuinely shocked by the poor reviews for this company on yelp. We had a lovely experience…read moreworking with Renewal. Everyone was so kind and professional. From the VP Troy to our project manager Nick, everyone was a sweetheart and very easy to work with. Even all the subcontractors were just the nicest guys. The crews often arrived early in the AM and I am not a morning person, but I felt comfortable and safe with them all in the house, even when I was getting ready. We chose Renewal for our kitchen remodel because they found future problems that no one else noticed when we were interviewing other companies. As a result, we ended up with minimal unexpected add on costs (phew!). The project involved completely remodeling our kitchen in our 1926 home including tearing down a wall, adding in an island, putting in a brand new kitchen which we expanded into a side room, and new lighting and paint throughout our first floor. We could not be happier with the results. Everything looks beautiful and is well made and sturdy. Though the design part was challenging (I recommend you come in knowing what you want, unlike we did), the construction portion was wonderful. We couldn't be happier with our new kitchen and with the work Remodel did. We would definitely consider using them again. Please trust the reviews elsewhere as they are inaccurate on this site.

I was told 3 weeks before a quote would be emailed. It was More like 6 weeks when I called and requested the quote. Troy was on vacation (as I was told) and He didn't bother since its his family's business and could put it on the back burner. *I plan on attaching my generic quote for all to see. It was a basic quote with very little description or breakdown of services and costs. I received a more thorough report from Washington Energy. So, I called and asked for a better understanding of how they got to the final number. I asked if I could do the job in two phases with the exterior windows and doors being the most important thing to take care of first. What did I get in return you ask? I got a shotty, whiny, unprofessional explanation NOT APOLOGY LEFT ON MY VOICEMAIL that stated this work was not worth their time and they were passing on the job. Let me tell you everyone was friendly and got along great. It was only when I asked how they got to $130,000.00 quote and wanted more explanation did they turn me away. I would RUN and look the other way. Don't let pretty photos and and fake personas make you think you're getting great service. I highly suspect their numbers don't match their quotes. I'm highly disappointed and think their ethics and sense of integrity are HORRIBLE. Thanks Ansley and Troy!! Job well done!

My husband hired Eddy with hopes of getting our project done efficiently and within our budget…read more However, our experience with him has been nothing short of disappointing. Firstly, he promised upfront costs, but as the project progressed, it became evident that these promises were merely lip service. The initial quote he provided turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg. As soon as the work started, additional costs kept piling up, without any prior notification. Communication was another major issue and the reasons behind the skyrocketing expenses. Drew and Matt were easy to work with. If you could hire them directly, then you'd be better off. Overall, I would strongly advise against hiring this company if you value transparency, reliability, and quality workmanship. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere for someone who keeps their promises and respects their clients.

We recently decided that it was finally time to give the restaurant a fresh start and a makeover. Jen was incredible. Her attention to detail, creativity, and final vision are genius. Her knowledge of design and her work ethic are incredible. I've mentioned many times that she reminds me of Joana Gaines from HGTVs fixer upper. Jen is the ultimate problem solver. The hallway to our bathrooms needed lighting and she was able to find an effective and chic fix right away. We had an old bench that my painters suggested throwing away before she stepped in to show them how to spray paint it and refurbish it without spending a lot of their time. She noticed a light fixture in front of the restaurant that I had never noticed and all it needed was a light bulb which transformed the entrance. She free hand painted a mural for us which was amazing. She was able to reorganize seating to allow for more space and more seats. Finally she was able to open up the space and brought in more natural light by choosing different colors/lighting. The space really transformed and we didn't have to do any heavy construction. We planned on doing the restaurant in 3 phases. So far we were able to complete the first phase which has had great feedback from our customers. The restaurant already looks new and I can't wait to see the entire project get finished.
