But, when I found the perfect place, it immediately dawned on me that this place needed professional touch to make it perfect. Kim and her team began by inspecting my blank canvass pad and interviewing me for about an hour. There questions were not directed towards what type of fabrics and colors that I like, but instead, were focused on my interest in music, art, etc. They took my input and went to work. I received great PowerPoint presentations and graphical layouts for what they intended to do with my place. Then, as my place began to take shape, they were open to my input and I was open to theirs. In the end, my apartment turned out amazing. I do not think there is a single think in my home that I would have picked out myself, but there is not a single thing in my place that I do not love and doesn't get rave compliments. Kim and her team worked within my budget, were easy to work with, and I highly recommend them. And, while they tended to do more classical design, they gleefully took on my "modern" project. Here's a link to some work they did along with some comments from my friends. If you're looking to do something modern, post modern, or mid-century contemporary, feel free to check out my place. I like them so much that you can even stop by if you're thinking about hiring them and check out their work in person. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150694005637673.444559.683167672&type=3&l=5bf0243f3b

Kim Armstrong is a phenomenal designer and a pleasure to work with. Not only does she create…read morebeautiful original spaces but she has an amazing ability to pull ideas from even a "designed-challenged" person like me, and was able to guide me effortlessly through the decision process. I needed help with the overall look and feel, layout, and product selection of a master bedroom and guest bedroom, plus advice on some window coverings. I chose the Design Concierge service which ended up being a great fit as I did not need the full-service option. The whole process was very smooth and efficient. A key step to her approach is the initial consultation which Kim does in advance of the full day of design at the house. I sent some pictures of the rooms in advance as well as some photos I had pinned from a home design site. She used the time on the call to discuss my goals for the project and to ask lots of questions to get a feel for my style. Kim came to our in person design day a few days later already armed with targeted, creative ideas and with a good sense of what would be appealing to me. You could tell she had done a good deal of prep work in advance. We tackled one room at a time starting with her taking measurements and inputting them into a CAD program so it would be easy to slot existing and new items into the floorplan. Kim has a wealth of knowledge about products and vendors so she easily came up with multiple options for each decision. She would then place each items I had decided on into the design board right on the spot, so I would not be struggling to visualize how everything will look together. I felt like I was not giving her much to go on in terms of feedback but she was able to quickly zero in on what resonated with me, and offered options in different price ranges. While I never felt like she was pushing me into a direction I wasn't comfortable with, she did encourage me to go a bit out of my comfort zone and consider things that would never have entered my mind (which is kind of the point, right?) Kim is ultra-focused and extremely efficient. I really don't know how she covered as much ground as she did on the day she was here, I felt like she made the most of every minute . As a result we even had time at the end of the day for her to tackle a few random one offs that had been bugging me for years and even pick out paper, paint and light fixtures for laundry room The day was a whirlwind but oh so fun! Within less than a week of our meeting she sent me the completed design boards along with an item-by-item list of the products we had selected along with links directly to the vendor sites. She also included detailed instructions /work orders to give to for example the firm making the custom draperies and floor plans so I could remember where everything goes. This made the implementation so easy. I am so pleased with the overall result and the whole process. I highly recommend Kim Armstrong!

We had wanted to update our kitchen and living room for years but it felt like such a big project…read moreit was hard to know where to start. But Spruced made it easy, understanding our vision, goals, and budget and offering options to help us achieve them. The attention to detail from both the design and construction teams was great; they asked our preference on things I wouldn't have even thought of. And when we had change orders, they worked with us to come up with solutions. When issues came up, they made them right. The result is a kitchen that's much more functional and spaces that look and feel brighter and more like us. I'd definitely reach out to them again with future needs.

I'm very thankful to all of them, such a great group of girls and a super team. Prior to the appointment, the owner came out and did a consultation with me surveying everything I had to pack, listened to my requests, took photos, and soon afterwards, gave me an estimate. She was willing to work with what I had, all the boxes, supplies and materials, and brought extra ones just in case we needed them, which we did. I'm so glad that she came prepared with extras! She's very organized, professional, and has many exceptional qualities. A woman of noteworthy excellence who goes above and beyond to make sure that the customer experience is great. I knew within a few minutes that I liked her and had full confidence in her and her team to get the job done. Thank you!
