If you are looking for someone who will really listen to your likes and needs, Ann Gottlieb Design…read moreis your team. So many times you meet with a designer and they want to move you towards what is trending at the time. Some of this can be fine, but then you risk your house looking like everyone else on the block. Ann takes the time to understand your personality and tastes. She creates tailor made designs for you, not what she thinks you should do. I felt heard and understood by Ann and her team. Her team even showed me ideas that I didn't even know I might like, all because they really listened and heard me. I will use them for all my projects in the future. Thank you Ann!

Working with Lena was a real pleasure. I had just moved into the area and needed an apartment…read morefurnished. I did not have a lot of design experience so I wasn't sure what I was looking for exactly other than I wanted it to look nice! Lena went over many different designs / color schemes / lay outs until I found some that I felt suited my style. She picked out dozens of high-end quality pieces that I know will be well used for many years. She is extremely patient, thoughtful and above all has very good style and instincts for how to make a space really come alive. You can tell that she really loves her work and that she takes each project, no matter how small, very seriously. I could not have been happier with how the place turned out and I could not have asked for a better experience than with Lena! I would strongly recommend her :)

Lena worked with my wife and I when we first moved into our home. Apart from helping us arrange the…read morefurniture and accessories we already had to work with, Lena also assisted us in selecting and purchasing our amazing (red!) leather sectional sofa, our natural down/up up/down blinds and various other accessories and wall colors. The quality of the sofa is superior, and we always receive compliments on how comfortable it is and how nice it looks with the rest of our living room. The blinds are great for privacy since we are able to have the bottom portion of our windows blocked with the light coming in at the top. We always receive compliments on how well put together our home looks. We found it very beneficial working with Lena, not only did we get the couch that worked great with our house, but also got it at a excellent price given her up to date knowledge of where/what is the best bang for your buck. I would recommend Lena and her services as interior designer to anyone who just moved into a new home or if you would like to refresh the look of your current home.

Selling a house is difficult as it is. The last thing you want to add to an already stressful…read moreprocess is a difficult contractor. Her business model is to pay for services before they are rendered which naturally inspires distrust on both ends. as a multi property owner who works with contractors frequently, this is an unusual and shady business practice. A deposit is even more reasonable than requiring an invoice to be paid in full, however, in the interest of time, we agreed to pay for each service as we go with the understanding that the work would be complete. The first service was the caulking of the bathroom. We paid in full up front only to arrive and realize the work was incomplete and sloppy. The shower floors were caulked using a white paint that did not match the original colors. So when she requested we pay for then next service (painting) fee up front, we explained that we would like some sort of guarantee that the work will be completed, which is reasonable considering the first service was not completed. Her response? "He will complete the shower when he returns to paint- Who said he was done?!" To which I shared with her the email where she clearly states the work was completed. Instead of her taking accountability for the inconsistencies in her own statements, her response is, "I'm not going back and forth with you!" Yes. I can't make this stuff up. That same day, we were instructed to move all furniture to the center of the room in preparation for the painting all for the no one to show up and no response from her. Mind you, we had to vacate the unit in order for the contractor to work. Fortunately we have another apartment across town but Imagine if we were in hotel, we would've put ourselves in a deeper financial hole all because she didn't "feel like going back and forth" and stopped responding completely. On top of telling us she doesn't have time to go back and forth she would constantly over share "I took time out of my busy week when I had twins graduating next week, am a single mom etc etc" it's just wildly unprofessional and should not take away from your accountability and professionalism as a business owner. We were constantly cut off and talked over. Our concerns were frequently ignored or dismissed with comments like "darling, don't worry your pretty little head" and "I have been doing this for years". Incredibly condescending and patronizing when you could simply just provide us with the guarantees we are asking for. I have never been so disrespected as a customer, yet had to bite my tongue because we were at her mercy. We were really excited to be supporting a black owned business but clearly no good deed goes unpunished. I truly believe she has a talent with staging but talent does not equate to business savviness. Enrolling in business courses would benefit her and future clients greatly.
