We began the process of building a custom-designed home in April 2013, and shortly after breaking…read moreground in June we realized WE WERE IN WAY OVER OUR HEAD! So we went on the search for design assistance, and found Leela & Alissa just in time. Honestly, we would have made one hundred thousand million mistakes without them. For example... (1) We would have designed a kitchen with an oven door that would not fully open (2) We would have had tile installed that was not symmetrical (3) We would have selected dark mahogany floors AND HATED THEM I mean the list goes on, but I feel like those examples show the detail that goes into functional interior design. It's not all pillows and light fixtures here people, these ladies have architectural experience to guide on the topics that you would have had no clue about until after the fact. When they stare you glaringly in the face every day and irritate you to no end. It's important to acknowledge that most builders and most subcontractors really don't care about the details and the over functionality of the design. Which is why when you get into massive home design projects it's key to have a guru who is paying attention to these details. I fully believe that Alissa & Leela are capable of tackling any style, however they really excel at successfully achieving a contemporary modern aesthetic. Which is a perfect fit for us because that's also what we love. So the conversations felt natural and felt mostly easy, and the special touches they suggested were right up our alley. More examples... (1) Concrete poured mantle (2) Cabinet doors for the AV console that are slated walnut (3) A beautiful waterfall white quartz island in the kitchen (4) A low shelf in the kitchen for displaying every day plates, glasses etc (5) Gorgeous custom entry wall paper that is a map of my hometown Their approach is unique. Thoughtful. Clean. Practical. And more than anything, very personal. They actively listened and ultimately helped us build a modern marvel! We are incredibly grateful that we found them when we did.

This review is based on the process of getting a bid from Bright…read more I was looking for some advice about fitting out a work/play space in my home. I wanted to hire someone to meet with me in the space, bounce some ideas, advise me on what was realistic, etc. I was willing and able to pay a high hourly rate for this service. I was also, separately looking for someone to come advise me on color flow throughout the house. Although they did respond to messages and provide another recommended outside designer, I was turned away from getting a consult because we weren't a good fit. They wouldn't send someone to do a consult with me! As an artistic service professional myself, I can read between those lines and I was really put off by the experience. The company has a beautiful portfolio, but apparently do not want to service a smaller residential customer who doesn't have a personal connection or in with them. I can respect "not a fit" but felt it was used as a line with me - boo!

I just couldn't get it right.......I had never hired a designer before but when Wendy met with me she was just so warm and friendly I couldn't help but get excited about working with her. I never felt judged by her (even though clearly my home has never seen a designer!). I explained what I liked in my living room and what I envisioned...somehow Wendy took words like "airy" and "comfy yet not cluttered" and turned it into actual room! She was very respectful of my budget and seriously with her connections I got a room that is filled with much higher quality items than i could of done! I really am happy with my living room now, its not too put together that it screams "designer" yet everyone who comes over says 'wow'! I think no one has guessed how I achieved this room because Wendy really listened to my ideas and embraced our family personality so much so that it doesn't stick out from the other rooms...it just looks like us but BETTER! I can't wait to design other rooms with her.I highly recommend her to ANYONE looking for a designer.

It really made the house feel like home- we could totally picture ourselves living here. I know that this was a major reason we ended up purchasing it.

We are so happy with our new furniture, and I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking to sell their home while having it look it's best.

The…read moremain challenge was the huge scale - it has a view and the issue was showcasing it while still making it functional. Jennifer has an eye for scale, color synergy, and detail - every piece she suggested was perfect for the space. The home is an open concept and everything flows from one room to the next. She also hit the mark on style, comfort, and functionality with fabric choices that are extremely durable. Additional strengths are her flexibility and excellent customer service. She worked around our schedule and at our pace which was extremely hectic and inconsistent with the relocation. She prepared several choices, communicated concepts electronically, and supported us on the weekends I was in town. She also was willing to work with the few pieces we brought with us as well as our budget, providing us with alternatives. I highly recommend Jennifer and look forward to working with her again!

In selling our house we discovered that not one but all three bedrooms had hardwood floors under…read morethe carpet. Upon investigation we found that they looked pretty good given their age. Brad Eller of Viking Hardwoods was recommended to us by our realtor. We made a phone call and later that day Brad had looked at the floors, talked about options, types of finishes, and what he'd recommend. Being enthusiastic and knowledgeable about his service and products, we set a schedule and shook hands. Brad finished the rooms on time and made the process fun and as minimally invasive as possible. He's intelligent and well versed on a wide array of subject matter, clearly enjoys his profession, is personable and enjoyable to be around. And if I forgot to mention it, his work is exemplary. I HIGHLY recommend Viking Hardwoods LLC for all your...you know....hardwood floor needs. Five stars - earned and deserved.

Brad personally did the work and even came back to do a quick touch up on two spots. We had two people in our home as we are preparing to sell and both commented (unsolicited) about how great the floors looked.
