She is a great…read morelistener and she really understands your personal style desires before she gives you suggestions. She has never led us astray, and quite the opposite, has delighted us with her great ideas and awesome creativity. My husband is THE PICKIEST because he is a graphic designer and he trusts Beth's taste. That's saying ALOT! One thing I really appreciate is how Beth is willing to work within our individual parameters. Currently, we have been buying furniture piece by piece (instead of doing an entire remodel/room at one time), which might annoy other designers, but Beth sees and articulates a vision for us and is patient with us on our *decor* journey. Recently, she had the absolutely brilliant idea to repurpose a piece of vintage furniture (very sentimental to us), giving it new life and making it relevant to our home's modern decor. No kidding ... I smile every day when I look at it. We plan to do a major remodel in the next year or two, and I will definitely be using bdhomesf to coordinate construction, finishes and interior design. Can't wait to work with you again, Beth!

She patiently transformed my free-form ideas into 3-D drawings and helped me fine-tune the kitchen plan to make it visually pleasing as well as functional. Moreover, she's a pleasure to work with--a necessary requirement when working with someone to plan something as intimate as your living space.

I have moved several times over the years and her wisdom and creativity always made the houses into homes. Her ability to listen to what I want and then translate that into something totally unexpected and terrific is her greatest attribute. Work done over the years: Complete remodel of my Kitchen, Master Bathroom, and Dinning room. ( I don't know what I would have done if she was not the project manager on these. She was phenomenal when dealing with all the contractors and suppliers. She kept the project on time and within the budget. How many people can say that about a major renovation?) Interior design on 4 houses including all furnishings, window coverings and rugs (her taste is impeccable and she really set my homes apart from any I have ever seen). Art Acquisition (This can be a tough area to match up your taste with you hers but she does it beautifully. Again, she always seems to find something special that you never knew that you just had to have). I promise you that should you choose to do business with the awesome designer you will be in for a great experience!! I know that I will turn to Ursula for many years to come.

I'd seen Wendy's portfolio and loved her work. She took what we discussed and came up with suggestions that completely fit what we wanted to do. Not only is she an extremely talented designer, she really knows how to listen to her clients, so that you end up with a style that is uniquely your own, completely put together and extremely livable. I would, and have, recommended her to anyone wanting guidance in decorating and design for their home. She's awesome!

I was moving to a new home and wanted to make it beautiful, warm, and unique. I also wanted assistance making my current home more attractive to prospective renters. Unfortunately for me I have almost no spare time and I am not artistic. Maclaurin Design to the rescue! Wendy applied her talents to both projects and the results are excellent. She is patient and listens carefully to her clients. Wendy recommended many beautiful, interesting and creative solutions to me that I never, ever could have thought of myself. (That's why we love professionals!) She was very respectful of my budget and laid out a long and short term design plan, so I knew what I should do first to get the most impact and then changes I can implement in the future as budget and time permit. As one of the other reviewers mentioned, she really is an expert shopper. This part was the most fun to me. She found some wonderful treasures for us at excellent prices. These items add a dimension to the decor which I realize now is very important to the feeling of a room. She knows what is worth spending up on and what isn't and advises accordingly. It's nice to someone "in the know" in your corner. Wendy's background is as an artist and this visual sensibility shows in her work. I feel happy every evening when I walk in the door and see my lovely home again. I strongly recommend Maclaurin Design.

One star is too many. USER BEWARE PLEASE…read more She is a crook. Beware. She will charge 3-5 times the price of fabric. She borrows money against the client, then delays ordering the goods. She keeps saying they are being made in France or wherever. She looks sweet and innocent, so it is perplexing. She chooses fabrics and good for her own self-promotion with the Design Center showrooms, not what is best for you or your home. Enough said. It doesn't matter what she says she will do or how talented she is. She will rip you off in the end. I should have sued her.

I would recommend Lawanna for your home interior design!!…read more She is professional and very talented. She listens to your needs and comes back with great solutions. She picked out gorgeous color schemes and incorporated the black and white color backdrop that I wanted. She picked out beautiful paint colors and wall paper. Added lovely fabrics and drapes in salmon and gold colors. She mixed modern furniture with antiques in the theme. She found an old antique desk and restored it. Painted it black with charming nobs. She is creative and has a great eye for detail. I wish I could add pictures for examples. Lawanna contracted an artist. He meet with me at my place and he painted amazing works of art to compliment the theme of my home. Now it is six years later and I am ready to have Lawanna come back to refresh with new colors and design. I appreciate having a talented interior designer working with me on my home.

Bait and Switch That…read moreis what my friend called it when she became indirectly involved in a situation I had with Kelly. In late July Kelly was closing her interiors shop on Chestnut Street. She was having a closing sale with items from her store significantly reduced. I peeked in the window and saw two tables I was interested in and left her a message as I was looking in the window. I re- attempted to call her many more times since I was leaving on a vacation in several days after, and wanted to settle on the tables. Of course, luck would have it, she didn't return my call until the day I arrived in France. I immediately called her back from France and explained I was interested in the "dining table" and the round "side table". She told me she thought they were on hold for someone but would get back to me if not and we could work something out. She told me the dining table was $400, and the other $200. She ultimately let me know they were available and after discussing the dimensions of the dining table, and reassuring me that it was large enough to use as an eating table I told her I wanted that one, although I liked them both. I explained In was out of the country and could send her a deposit but I would return in a week to pick it up. The conversation pretty much centered on the dining table so I don't know where the confusion set in later. She said that was not possible, she needed full payment and needed to get the table out of the store asap since she was closing and was being charged rent each day she had items in the store. I called a friend and arranged for her to pick up the table asap. So, I thought all was well until I came home to find that my friend had been given the small round table she quoted being $200, yet I paid $400 and was expecting the "dining table". I didn't think to tell my friend exactly which table because I verbally settled on the dining table with Kelly, and she seemed like she was on it. I called Kelly asking what happened and she said she couldn't remember, that there were alot of people in and out of the store buying things, but that the "dining table" was now $1000! She refused to acknowledge her agreement with me previously and played dumb. She went on to tell me she had it appraised at $3700, and that she didn't want to "give it away". SHe tried to make a deal that I could have it for $1000 with a $100 discount. I really didn't know what to do. I though she pretty much realized she didn't want to sell it for what she agreed and took advantage of the situation when I was out of town. I couldn't afford $1000. She wouldn't even give me money back on the small round table I had in my posession. To make matters worse, the "dining table" sat in her closed store for months(what happened with her needing to get it out of there) and even when construction was going on with new tenants, had cans of paint and tools sitting on it. Ultimately, she gave it to someone else (who I asked one day when walking by the now real estate office) and the person didn't think she paid over $1000 for it. Kelly seemed like a nice person and was pleasant on the phone but I guess she only treats those clients spending $1000's of dollars in a more professional way. I really didn't want to say anything bad about her here, but the entire situation has really bothered me, and I walk by that store almost every day where the table sits. So, if you choose to do business with her, just make sure you know what you're getting.

Well, I personally had a truly amazing experience with Kelly…read more I had the pleasure of working with Kelly Keiser Splendid Interiors and her team of young, fresh-faced designers while redecorating my house in the Oakland Hills. Kelly did a full re-design of my home including paint selection, space planning, lighting design, custom draperies, custom furniture design and of course, fabulous accessories and art. (we even did a bar cart!) She also spent a significant amount of time in the beginning phases of the design process helping me determine my personal design style, which I now feel confident about. I believe this is a long term relationship, and the team at KKSI will be with me for many years to come. I hope there are others who have had as good of an experience as I have had! My house is beautiful and it puts a smile on my face every time I walk in the door.
