If you desire the very best in interior design, call Sally Waxman. She is someone who will work to…read moreunderstand your needs and will treat you with courtesy and respect. Sally is the most stylish person you'll ever meet and she has an uncanny ability to become one with her customers sense of style. She brings a lifetime of design talents coupled with a cadre of supporting consultants, artists, painters, construction experts, and an in-depth knowledge of product types and trends We first used Sally in 2003 when we bought a new house and it needed some finishing touches. Sally interviewed us, assessed our needs, and then brought over to our house all manners of wallhangings, lamps, shades, valance material, and accessories. In 2014 we undertook a complete renovation. We wanted a couch that we had seen at the Waldorf in Rome a few years past. We described it to Sally and she called the hotel in Rome, then visited the local material library and brought everything together. The couch was perfect. We were also influenced by the beautiful marble bathrooms that we experienced while in Europe. Sally put us in touch with a bathroom architect that had done projects in such prestigious locations as the Venetian in Las Vegas. Our bathroom is the crowning achievement of the project, and was such a stunning piece of work that the contractor placed a photograph of it on the cover of his marketing brochure. If it's one lamp or a whole house re-decoration, Sally will be your partner. She never disappoints and is dogged in her pursuit of perfection. Through her business, she makes friends and builds relationships. You will look forward to the end of your project, but you will also know that you will miss her when it's done. Dennis and Diane Polley

We have wanted to redo our great room for awhile and the timing was finally right. I stopped in…read moreHoffman and Albers briefly one evening and spoke with a designer, Heidi. She was very pleasant and seem knowledgeable. I contacted her through email for a consultation a few days later. I heard nothing for 6 days and sent another email to her and to the main email for Hoffman and Albers. Heidi responded that she never received my email, but we could schedule something for the current week. I responded with a day and told her I could get more specific about the time. I sent another email the following day with a specific time, asking if that would work out. Again, I heard nothing back. I finally sent an email that this wasn't going to work and received a response to that. Without going into detail, it was not the most professional response. I am surprised that in an industry where communication and customer relations are vital, Hoffman and Albers failed miserably. That should be a red flag for anyone seeking design services. I came willingly with checkbook open, and couldn't even get a consultation scheduled.

I just had shades installed in a house I bought in September of 2023. They replace some heavy,…read moreolder wide wooden slat blinds that were so heavy it was hard to raise them. These new ones are sleek, modern, and super easy to adjust to whatever configuration I want. They are the top-down, bottom-up style, which I had never heard of, but I was all in when Tim and Jake explained them to me. Tim, the owner, came and did the install and in 30 minutes I was good to go. The two I installed were tests to see how I would like them, and since they're a winner, I'll do the rest of the house sometime later. This is a family-owned and run business and they're the kind of people I like to do business with. Thanks Tim, Emily, and Jake!

This is the first time I've splurged on letting someone else do my window treatments and it was a…read moregreat decision. We love our Hunter Douglas top-down, bottom-up (kind of sounds like a crazy night in Key West with too much to drink!) shades. Emily is a straight shooter in the office and Jake couldn't have been nicer, but Wilson might be my favorite staff member of all. The windows look perfect now. Jake hauled the old ones away and he even puttied the tiny holes in the walls from the previous blinds. My new favorite Cincinnati company!

We had Don build our cabinets and shelving when he was a hot new talent years ago, and were…read moreextremely satisfied with his distinctive style and flawless craftsmanship. Many years later, after we had disastrous water damage in our kitchen that required tearing out the flooring, cabinets, and countertops, we were thrilled to find out Don had his own shop and was available to do the rebuild. Don and his team did impeccable cabinetry work this second time around, too, and came up with perfect solutions to a few challenges that came up: When some hinges weren't quite doing the job, he came up with alternate hardware that fit the bill. The new cabinets not only look beautiful, they operate smoothly, and the edges are straight and level. In our book, Don is the Best. Cabinet. Maker. EVER.

But did not get confirmation or a timeline of what to expect next (other than knowing from sales visit that it could take 6 weeks). When I checked back in, I kind of got the feeling that I had slipped through the cracks, but my blinds were ready for delivery/installation. Installation day was the best day of my Blinds Plus experience. Terry was super fast in installing and has 16 year's experience. He taught me how to use, care for, and access warranty/repair- if needed! Terry gets my stars on this review!!

Both closets were inefficient in their design and I was vastly underutilizing the space. Joe listened to my ideas and my objectives. With this information, he offered even more creative solutions and ultimately presented illustrations which resulted in my agreeing upon his design. He followed through on every commitment and made the demo and install process drama free. I trusted Joe in my home. And I love my new ultra-organized closets!! He is very talented and detail-oriented and did a great job! I'm so pleased with the outcome that I am hiring Joe again to transform my remaining closets.
