It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation for Valerie Garrett Interior Design. Valerie Garrett’s designs are timeless and elegant, and her ability to blend traditional and contemporary elements makes her one of the most sought out designers in our area.
Valerie provided guidance on all interior design matters for an extensive renovation that involved a complete redesign of our home’s interior. During this time she helped us choose the flooring, cabinetry, lighting, color schemes, plumbing fixtures, natural stone countertops, furniture, and all other aspects of our interior design project. With Valerie’s guidance, our 25 year old home has been transformed to a welcoming and comfortable space where each room flows beautifully and gracefully. Valerie’s expertise and ideas captured everything we wanted for our home and more, and we simply can’t imagine having done it without her.
Although the intricacies of design and decor can be overwhelming, Valerie makes the process pleasant and easy with transformative results. She presented 3D renderings of her designs so we would know exactly what each room would look like when finished. Plus, ever organized and efficient, she utilizes and shares computer software that contains the myriad design selections made jointly, so there is never a question as to what product and/or color will go in a particular space.
Throughout our planning sessions and the work that followed, Valerie listened to our ideas, yet she also brought her own thoughts to the table to create the perfect design for our home. Ever mindful of our budget, she came up with creative solutions that not only kept our costs down, but also helped our home stand out among others. Furthermore, she worked effectively with the contractors and subs and quickly fielded any questions and resolved any minor problems that surfaced.
Communication with Valerie was honest, open, and comfortable from the start. We never had to worry about offending or disappointing her when presenting our own ideas. On the contrary, she would listen and develop those ideas into something well beyond our expectations. Plus, she encouraged me to contact her any time I had a question and was quick to respond to phone calls, emails, and text messages. Her patience never faltered!
Throughout the renovation process, Valerie was creative, flexible, reliable and budget conscience. She took the time to understand our style and presented beautiful, high quality custom-designed products that were reasonably priced. Plus, she seamlessly incorporated items we already owned into her plan to create a home that is distinctively unique and personal. We are thrilled with the results Valerie achieved. It is a true testament to her talent that family, friends and guests who visit our renovated home are in awe of the transformation.
Working with Valerie has been a wonderful experience from concept to final product. For beautiful and timeless interior design, we wholeheartedly and enthusiastically endorse Valerie Garrett Interior Design. We feel blessed to have found a truly talented designer and someone we consider a friend.
