We began the process of building a custom-designed home in April 2013, and shortly after breaking…read moreground in June we realized WE WERE IN WAY OVER OUR HEAD! So we went on the search for design assistance, and found Leela & Alissa just in time. Honestly, we would have made one hundred thousand million mistakes without them. For example... (1) We would have designed a kitchen with an oven door that would not fully open (2) We would have had tile installed that was not symmetrical (3) We would have selected dark mahogany floors AND HATED THEM I mean the list goes on, but I feel like those examples show the detail that goes into functional interior design. It's not all pillows and light fixtures here people, these ladies have architectural experience to guide on the topics that you would have had no clue about until after the fact. When they stare you glaringly in the face every day and irritate you to no end. It's important to acknowledge that most builders and most subcontractors really don't care about the details and the over functionality of the design. Which is why when you get into massive home design projects it's key to have a guru who is paying attention to these details. I fully believe that Alissa & Leela are capable of tackling any style, however they really excel at successfully achieving a contemporary modern aesthetic. Which is a perfect fit for us because that's also what we love. So the conversations felt natural and felt mostly easy, and the special touches they suggested were right up our alley. More examples... (1) Concrete poured mantle (2) Cabinet doors for the AV console that are slated walnut (3) A beautiful waterfall white quartz island in the kitchen (4) A low shelf in the kitchen for displaying every day plates, glasses etc (5) Gorgeous custom entry wall paper that is a map of my hometown Their approach is unique. Thoughtful. Clean. Practical. And more than anything, very personal. They actively listened and ultimately helped us build a modern marvel! We are incredibly grateful that we found them when we did.

This review is based on the process of getting a bid from Bright…read more I was looking for some advice about fitting out a work/play space in my home. I wanted to hire someone to meet with me in the space, bounce some ideas, advise me on what was realistic, etc. I was willing and able to pay a high hourly rate for this service. I was also, separately looking for someone to come advise me on color flow throughout the house. Although they did respond to messages and provide another recommended outside designer, I was turned away from getting a consult because we weren't a good fit. They wouldn't send someone to do a consult with me! As an artistic service professional myself, I can read between those lines and I was really put off by the experience. The company has a beautiful portfolio, but apparently do not want to service a smaller residential customer who doesn't have a personal connection or in with them. I can respect "not a fit" but felt it was used as a line with me - boo!

If you're looking for a local interior decorator in the Portland area, I highly recommend Ochre &…read moreRye. Ochre & Rye decorated our entire basement remodel. This included a large room that she transformed into a functional yet beautiful space! We now have a charming little office and lounge area that are very cohesive. O&R also decorated our bathroom. It went from a boring blank slate to beautiful place that we actually want to utilize! The owner and decorator, Gracie, was very professional and brought so many great ideas to us. My husband and I still felt like we had a lot of choice in how our space ended up, but without the need to do any of the work.

Jennifer worked with us for ~ 6 months to decorate our new home and she did an excellent job! The…read moremain challenge was the huge scale - it has a view and the issue was showcasing it while still making it functional. Jennifer has an eye for scale, color synergy, and detail - every piece she suggested was perfect for the space. The home is an open concept and everything flows from one room to the next. She also hit the mark on style, comfort, and functionality with fabric choices that are extremely durable. Additional strengths are her flexibility and excellent customer service. She worked around our schedule and at our pace which was extremely hectic and inconsistent with the relocation. She prepared several choices, communicated concepts electronically, and supported us on the weekends I was in town. She also was willing to work with the few pieces we brought with us as well as our budget, providing us with alternatives. I highly recommend Jennifer and look forward to working with her again!

All I can say is, WOW! My husband and I were looking for a home for quite some time and when we…read morecame across a house that Eclectic Home had staged, we absolutely fell in love! It really made the house feel like home- we could totally picture ourselves living here. I know that this was a major reason we ended up purchasing it. We loved it so much that we even contacted the designer and asked if we could purchase some of the items for ourselves. She was extremely friendly and professional! We are so happy with our new furniture, and I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking to sell their home while having it look it's best.

Nathalie High isn't just an amazing professional organizer--she's also one of the hardest-working,…read morekindest, and most easygoing person you'll ever meet. I first met Nathalie in 2017 when I hired her to run an estate sale, and she did a fantastic job! A few years later, after moving back to Vancouver in 2020, I found myself overwhelmed with too much stuff while downsizing from a house to an apartment. I reached out to Nathalie again, and she worked wonders--helping me sort through everything, get organized, and let go of things I really didn't need. If you're looking for a top-notch organizer, I can't recommend Nathalie enough. And the best part? She offers a completely free initial consultation! She'll come to your home, take the time to understand your needs, and help create a plan that might just transform your space--and your life--in ways you hadn't even considered.

Then kept filling them past 9 years tossing only expired food :) So messy and disorganized. Natalie re-organized my kitchen, large pantry, two large hall closets, built-ins, office, and garage storage system. Bonus was that hiring her held me accountable to deal with a few other areas I have put off, and donate things I had not/would not use, like folding chairs, bicycle, etc.

Laura was a godsend…read more I was moving across country and getting married all in the same month. Overwhelmed and tight on time, I engaged her services. I had never hired a personal organizer, so I didn't know what to expect. It was a wonderful experience. She helped me to determine and purge items I didn't need. She then carefully wrapped, organized and labeled and packed the rest of my belongings for a safe move. She works with grace, patience and compassion- three qualities that are imperative to anyone working so closely with her clients' personal belongings.

So you can move on with your live and make more money for your future. Which is what she ultimately helped me do. This girl knows her shit. really.
