I met Suzi a year ago! I was looking for an interior designer who would be helpful in choosing…read morecolors for interiors and stumbled upon her yelp page. I called her up and met with her. I visited 2 homes she had designed and was very impressed with her creativity and passion for what she does. I think one thing that stands out is her attention to small details that really make someone say "WOW!" She can truly create a home that showcases things you love. She takes time with all her clients to discover their needs, wants, personal style and lifestyle in order to reflect those qualities in the spaces she designs. In a nutshell, designing with Suzi means creating a space that really fits with who you are. I can't recommend her enough to help you with designing your home.

I purchased Susan's services at a silent auction so she was completely unknown to me as a…read moredecorator. Susan met me for the 1st hour at my promotional products office and my objective was to "unclutter" it...and WOW was she helpful! After a long discussion, she gave me the incentive that I needed to really clean it up, change the lighting, the colors and the theme, making it much more inviting (for me to work as well as when clients visit ). It is still a work in progress but I am so much happier and feel like I now have a direction. She also visited my home...again, I just wanted to unclutter (not that it was as bad as the office). She gave me several good ideas, backing those suggestions up with common sense and a minimalist mentality. Just what I needed! Unlike some decorators, she does not suggest that you spend a lot of money on new purchases...she works with what you have and tells you where to buy things that are high quality and low cost. I would highly recommend that you contact Susan. Your money and time will be well spent!

From our limited time together, she was able to quickly grasp my decorating style, understand my cost parameters, and assess my needs in my work space. She just "got it". In a quick period of time she put together a beautiful and practical decorating plan for my office. Her ideas were fresh and new, but not off-the-wall. She is very pleasant to work with; her approach is friendly, and her advice is sound. She does not have any pretentiousness about her that I have seen in other designers (frankly, who have less experience and skills). I chose her because I admired the breadth of her talent: from retail offices, to homes, to large projects with major hotel chains. I am looking forward to implementing her insightful ideas in my project.

I reached out to her back in November, she came out the next day to to give us a quote on our bathroom remodel. She made the entire process so easy. She ordered EVERYTHING for us, complete gut job, removing drywall and replacing everything in our bathroom. The entire remodel took 2 weeks. Elena was so easy to work with and even though I was nervous (you never know what you will find when you open up walls) she assured me, regardless what we find, we can fix it. The workers were great, they worked a full day and we could see the quality and value of their work. I am extremely grateful and so happy with our new bathroom. I would absolutely recommend Elka Interiors and Elena. Thank you for our beautiful bathroom.

Are you kidding me? Only five stars ? Can I give this company 10 stars ??…read more So here is my reason for my 10 star review. We started off with a little farmhouse about 1700 ft.². It had 3 bedrooms and about five different living Spaces. It was old & beat up but the land was about an acre and a half. We turn this little dump into a jewel of Bonita. Huge open layout , 1500 square feet of deck , indoor outdoor living , a kitchen to die for , bathrooms so cozy you'd want to sleep in . With the guidance, vision and help of Elena our designer this became the house of our dreams. Unfortunately it also became the house of someone else's dreams as soon as we were done ! Soon enough , even though we got an offer we couldn't refuse ! A huge pay day ! This little project home because of Elka interiors became a huge profiting flip of a home which was our steppingstone to bigger and better things to come. Not only did you make this experience and easy and amazing one but you made it a profitable one !!! Thanks for all of you insight and patience !

We were hiring her to work with us on our architectural plans for twin homes in the Cardiff beach community. I have to say, Deborah is such an amazing architect with a very detailed eye. We came in with a wish list of how we wanted this project to turn out and she put together to most amazing plans that not only met my expectations but exceeded them. Her extraordinary suggestions & ideas to maximize the space and usage of the floor plan was appreciated and made it exciting to visualize the possibilities of this home. Deborah's knowledge of the city's permitting & building process was extremely helpful too. She is very educated on the building & planning requirements and created our plans to the inch of what was allowed. Not only am I a client, but I am also a Realtor® and have referred clients to Deborah because I personally know that they are in the best hands when it comes to a building project. I would highly recommend Deborah Shewaga's services. Her guidance, knowledge and vision are definitely top notch.

It was during this time my fiance and I decided we no longer want to rely on working for another company and instead open our dream coffee shop. While most businesses were shutting down or even worse, closing their doors forever, we took this time to pour everything into the coffee shop. After obtaining the perfect space I needed help with bringing my design to life and that's where Sally came in, with Crave Design. The space we took over was an old hair salon, not up to restaurant code. This means we had a lot of renovating to do, so much so, I wouldn't recommend anyone to go this route if you're planning on opening a food facility in San Diego county, although with the help of Sally and a good contractor you're sure to be in good hands. Sally was there every step of the way for me. She met me numerous times providing samples of what I could use to build the bar with, finish the countertops with, and different textiles that we could use to give the bar more detail. She somehow always fit me into her schedule whether it was a quick call or to stop by the shop. Since we were doing a complete renovation we had to go back and forth with the county on our plans and Sally was so incredibly helpful and always on top of it including the turn around time. She has a tremendous amount of knowledge and a great eye for detail. Sally is professional, punctual, and personable and I couldn't recommend her more!
