"Norma is a pleasure with which to work -- she is fast, efficient, and thoughtful. Her primary goal is to listen to her clients, provide advice, and get them going in the directions of their dreams. We were on a tight budget but needed some help -- I called Norma, set up some time to talk, and before you know it, she had provided us with tons of advice, floor plans, and some good questions to clarify what we were hoping to do. Our meetings in person were exceptional and she was constantly listening to us talk, not the other way around. Norma has a particularly clean style that can lean modern or traditional, depending on what you're seeking. Clean, bright, and uncluttered is what you'll find at Entwine interiors. A highlight is her thoughtfulness in space-saving designs in addition to what I have mentioned, above."

"I'll be using him to help design my bathrooms and 2nd/3rd bedrooms. He bring new ideas and doesn't hesitate to incorporate my ideas in his vision. I love working with him and his crew!"

"Everything was fine and no issues. I don't really like the virtual thing but I liked her demeanor over the phone she was a nice lady."

"The design was totally useless to me. I was extremely disappointed.

"IDEA was recommended to us by a local designer for two bathroom updating projects.  Marty and IDEA provided a very reasonable quote to replace a light fixture, 3 vanity faucets, a shower fixture, a roman tub fixture and a toilet tank water line.  Marty also recommended a sub-contractor to change out the old brass trim on our glass shower door enclosure.  Marty was willing to help trouble shoot any problems that came up during the project and was on site each day to inspect the work of his team.  Overall, we are happy with the work performed and the new look of our bathrooms.

"Rae Duncan is the most talented designer and phenomenal renovation partner with whom I have ever worked. My husband and I are working with Rae on a near complete gut rehab of a home we recently purchased and could not be happier with the results. First, she took the time to understand and help us refine our vision for the home and, after just one initial meeting in our new space, she was able to intuit and articulate how to make our vision a reality. Rae brings a deep and talented network of contractors and craftspeople to the fore to create truly custom spaces, within tight budgets and against tight timelines. And she does more than interior design; she creates transformative interior environments. I have worked with other designers, and none have worked as creatively and efficiently as Rae. She exhibits a rare brand of patience and empathy, expressing her creative vision and point of view while treating her clients as true partners in the design process. She also conceives of brilliant solutions to the design challenges inherent to older homes like the one we recently purchased and smaller spaces like the one she helped us stage and sell. Rae's spatial and aesthetic brilliance, coupled with her sensitivity and responsiveness to her clients' needs, make her a truly incredible designer. I would highly recommend working with Rae; she has truly transformed our space in a way we never could have imagined based on our experience with other designers, and helped transform our lives in the process!"

"David gave me what I thought was a fair price for the work to be done. He asked for 1/2 up front. As a previous small business owner I did not feel this was unreasonable so I paid him 500.00. He estimated the work would take 3 to four days and I thought the same. After several no shows the "mason" showed up. The first clue was he came in a car. According to my wife he was here 2 hours and left, came back for another 2 hours the next day and left again. He said nothing to my wife about leaving or when he would be back. David called a day later to ask about coming out to look over the job and get the rest of the other 500.00. I said he isn't finished and he's only been here 4 hours. So then I looked up the prevailing wage in IL for a mason and found out it is 28.50 an hour. The next day the guy comes back for another 3 hours. David came to look at the work and I walked him around and showed him all of the places that had not been done. So the guy comes back again for about an hour. All told it was 8 hours work, nothing to write home about but it was agreed up front that I wasn't looking for an exposed brick look. I need it tuck pointed well enough so that I could drylock and paint the exposed brick. I will say this was done in the end. The worker left a mess that I and my wife had to clean up, I pointed this out to David as well. I told him I felt he was overly paid for the amount of work preformed and that was the end of it. It's really to bad. It's difficult to get contractors to do small jobs and I had plenty for him to do. I'm not unhappy, just would not hire again"

"It went well. After viewing both properties content, i was sent a couple of room plans.

"Mario has painted almost every room in my house. He is very easy to deal with and his work is meticulous. Many of the ceilings in my house had major cracks. He repaired them to like new condition."

"Gale is a delight to work with. She is extremely knowledgable and narrow down your style by just looking at things you like in a magazine. She has a great eye for design and the ability to pull a few rooms together so that they flow beautifully. Her skill with designing and creating window treatments is awesome. 







 She made window treatments for our family room,  sun room , and eating area.  They are absolutely gorgeous !  She also helped to pick out paint colors so that the rooms would all compliment each other.  These rooms are now my favorite in the house.







Gale works with any budget and was always willing to tweek projects to make things perfect for you. She will be there on time and is professional. She is also a lot of fun. I looked forward to her visits and will be using her again in the future.
