We cannot say enough good things about Spring Green Interior Design. We turned to Kathryn for…read moreadvice when blending households and she was exceptionally helpful, taking the time to get a sense of our tastes as individuals, then using our input to help us create a harmonious, welcoming home together. Kathryn was generous with her knowledge, such that we came away not only with recommendations, but with an understanding of the principles behind them. She answered our questions intelligently, then expanded into possibilities we hadn't even considered. We particularly appreciated the fact that she was sensitive to our budget, offering suggestions that could be implemented now as well introducing possible ideas for the future. While she has lovely taste and excellent instincts, Kathryn took care never to impose her ideas; instead, she offered guidance, then encouraged us to embrace the choices that spoke to us. She helped us with paint colors, furniture dimensions, traffic flow, lighting options, and all sorts of additional things -- from the small to the structural -- that we never would have known about. To top it all off, she was professional in every way, as well as a personal delight to work with. When it's time for our next interior design project, Spring Green Interior Design will be our first call.

From the owner: How I can help you:…read more My job is to make your life less stressful. With professional design help, the project experience becomes less fraught and more fun. I bring fresh perspective to your design challenges, as well as insights and ideas you may not have considered. Putting my experience to work for you can also help avoid costly oversights and mistakes. Design projects involve many decisions, choosing from a seemingly infinite array of options. I can save you both time and hassle by editing down your choices to selections which fit within your tastes and budget. I can help you select furniture, fixtures, finishes, and equipment, but interior design covers much more than just decoration. Space planning is an integral part of good design, and incorporates functionality considerations and optimal room layout. I can also help you envision non-load-bearing architectural changes in your home. I have additional experience with lighting design, construction documentation, and electrical planning. If you've got a design challenge, large or small, please give me a call or drop me a line. I look forward to hearing about your home project!

I needed help for a modest kitchen renovation: new flooring and countertops, with a limited budget…read morefor design help. Rosita provided exactly what I needed. We met at a flooring store where she helped me select a small number of options that she thought would work with the existing cabinets and walls, then headed to a countertop store to find options that would work with the floor samples. I then took the samples home to see them in place, which clarified what looked best in the space. Rosita did exactly what I needed: provided the guidance to get me past the paralysis of being overwhelmed by too many choices, plus pointing me to some good floor and countertop retailers. She was great about working within my small budget, but stands ready to provide more help if needed.

Hosea's painter team did nothing short of a miracle job. Really…read more I wholeheartedly recommend you go with them. You can't go wrong. I appreciated his teams' skills and most importantly his ethics, honesty and integrity. I recruited Hosea and his team for a risky paint job due to the unusual designer type of paint we were going to use. Also, I had a very tight deadline at risk of not being able to move in. Every painters told me they needed at least 2 weeks or more to finish it, even with a 3-person teams. This even included a large national paint companies (those who specialized on commercial or corporate buildings). Hosea's team were able to finish it in just about a week or slightly more, allowing me to move in right in time. I used a designer paint complex to handle and prone to mistake from inexperienced painters with this particular paint. As expected, they made a mistake, but owned it without creating difficulties. The end result ended up very fan-tas-tic, above and beyond expectations. And the pricing (certainly not cheap) was rightly fair and quite reasonable I think. I am so glad I selected Hosea for this impossible mission job. It was a total success. Attached are photos before/after the job. Paint was from Farrow & Ball with the exception of the windows trim (Sherwin Williams).

In one, she created a beautiful, thoughtful design starting with a completely empty space; in the other, she helped refine and enhance the design of my home using some existing furniture and recommending new pieces where needed. Laura listens, asks the right questions, and offers creative options without being pushy. Both times, she created spaces that I am truly proud to call home. Highly recommend!

I am a broker in the Cambridge area. I recently engaged Klaus to help redesign a 2 family house…read morethat I bought for investment. One unit needed to be totally gutted with new floors, new kitchen, insulation and soundproofing. Klaus was masterful in raising the ceilings to create an elegant renovation that restored the unit to its previous appearance. His use of lighting was impressive in making the unit sparkle compared to its earlier dinginess. The kitchen was designed to maximize counter space and include a center island for dining. I was pleased that this came in on budget, which often doesn't happen. I have recommended Klaus to other brokers in the area for help in selling properties in need of "face-lifting".

They were very thorough and had a lot of reference material we could look at to help us narrow in on our vision. Both Brad and Kendra asked us a lot of questions of what we were looking to achieve and through our input were able to come up with a final look we were absolutely thrilled with! They were very responsive and quick to follow up and came up with multiple alternate ideas when we were unsure about something. Overall we were most happy with the design and color choices that perfectly matched what we had pictured in the back of our minds. They are very flexible whether you're a person who love every minutia of choice or want to throw caution to the wind and let them use their imagination to come up with a design! We would strongly recommend them if you want a unique design or vision that has yet to be discovered!
