I got the opportunity to work with Kate Griffin on an organization job that I needed for my home. I…read morecontacted her one week & she scheduled our appt. for early the following week. Which was such a breath of fresh air in this very active real estate market. Being a Realtor. I know all companies that are associated with real estate are experiencing lots of volume so that was very quick considering the market. To be honest I was in such need of moving this project forward. What a wonderful blessing we got started right away! I had moved into a new home and with the exception of a desk/chair and a bed. I only brought items that fit in a box. Or went in the closet. I initially contacted Blythe so I can get a design to get some furniture etc. but I had boxes all around the parameter of my home and couldn't get to the design until we went through all the boxes and had everything organized and put away. Over the years we can accumulate so many items that are so precious. IE: just to name one category. I had been saving a variety of keep sake items from over the years that were also in cardboard boxes and felt stuck not knowing what to do with them. I didn't know where to start. When Kate arrived she rolled up her sleeves and got to work. We opened every box and went through absolutely everything. She made what looked so overwhelming a breeze. She was able to help me discern what to keep and what to purge. I had a hard time parting ways with items I hadn't used in I can't even remember the last time I had used them. I even had kept boxes from vacuums and other appliances that she kindly pointed out were taking up space that we could use to organize other items in. Apparently, I needed the permission to get rid of it. Which when I did get rid of them. It felt freeing! We sorted through all sorts of items. Anywhere, from a variety of keep sakes (my daughter trophy's, various photos, bday and holiday cards I had collected over the years), office supplies, to electronics (she helped me discern what to keep - and what to recycle - phew - so nice to know you can recycle electronics), kitchen cabinets, cleaning supplies, cleaning appliances in a closet, to paperwork that needed to be shredded and had piled up over time (which I got done), misc. bathroom items, linen closet to labeling. By the time we were done it was after 6pm and we had lot of empty cardboard boxes to recycle. Even though she had been here for 4 hours on a intense and detailed job.... with a mask on... On a hot day. She wanted to ensure she didn't leave any task for that day not completed. She offered to help me break down and take out every last box (I live on the 3rd floor) which we did. Then we scheduled an appt. for the next day so we could get some containers etc. to efficiently organize the items. Bye bye cardboard boxes. What started off as a 3 hour process. Ended up being a 9 hour job over a span of 3 days. I'm so grateful Kate was available 3 days in a row to keep the flow of the process going. I can go on and on. When you don't know where to start it's sure great to have someone who is a professional organizer help you. Kate is experienced, professional, amazing, friendly, funny, jovial and someone you will feel comfortable having in your home.

The project far exceeded our high expectations. Amazing vibe. Functional space. Under budget. On time delivery. Everything went smoothly as we moved 75 people into our high tech office. Our employees LOVED the space. Increased employee engagement and productivity. The second time I hired Dimple at DH Design was to fix the mess made by the first designer we hired for our 3,600 square foot home in Santaluz. Dimple transformed the disastrous first design into something that we love. She is wonderful at finding amazing deals on furniture and fixtures that turned an Italian Baroque into a contemporary Mediterranean home that perfect fits our personalities and styles. Again: Under budget, on time delivery, no excuses, no drama. Unlike most designers, Dimple designs for YOU (not herself). She listens, takes ownership, is organized, and puts her clients' interests first. Don't waste your time with other designers. She's the best.

The condo was built in the 70's and had never been renovated. It needed a complete overhaul. Coming from her home in Santa Barbara, we wanted her to feel as comfortable in her new home as the one she had become accustomed to in Santa Barbara, by matching the style and finishes. We also needed to make the renovation happen fast. Sara was by our side the entire time. She responded quickly to questions and concerns, and found the absolute best in everything, and kept it all within our budget. She became an invaluable liaison between myself and our contractor. Because my mom used a walker and was transitioning to using a wheelchair, Sara assured everything was ADA compliant. In fact, when an occupational therapist made a visit to the home, she said that she couldn't remember the last time she saw a bathroom that was so well designed for the needs of my mother.

I'd pick out a super contemporary bath vanity but somehow select farmhouse style fixtures - I needed help! Claire came to the rescue. She reviewed my Pinterest board of design inspo and met me at my house to walk through the space and hear our remodel plans. Before I'd even formally hired her, she was making smart suggestions to improve our ideas! Claire helped me source finishing materials that maintained a cohesive style. She provided presentations with options based on each room (e.g., for the bathroom she provided 3 bathtubs to pick from, several vanities, wall sconces, etc.) that would all look great together. She came back to my house to show me different tile & flooring samples and how they look in our space & lighting. It was incredibly helpful and really helped me maintain a cohesive style throughout the house. Our budget was somewhat small which made this task harder, but Claire was always up for the challenge and really respected our budget requests for materials. She has an incredible eye for design and she's very friendly. She's easy to get in touch with and she wants to help with even the smallest of questions (such as "Claire! Help! How tall should my baseboards be in this room?"). I absolutely love working with Claire and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an interior designer! We're not finished with our remodel yet, but I've included a before/after sneak peek of our kitchen so far!
