Working with Barbara and her team at Elza B Design has been a joy from beginning to end. We recently renovated and redecorated our twenty-year-old home. When we originally built, our children were in elementary school. Now they are all adults; we have a grandchild; and our house needs have changed as we enjoy frequent visits from our growing family. Barbara expertly helped me to execute the vision I had for the house. She did not impose any particular style upon us. Rather, she listened, looked closely at what we already had that we loved, and then collaboratively helped me to pull together a cohesive design that is reflective of our family’s tastes and personality. Barbara’s background in fine art was immensely helpful as we incorporated rich, saturated color throughout the house, balancing rooms with strong colors and vibrant wallpaper patterns with simple, understated spaces. Each room beautifully flows into the next. The Elza B team brought wonderful resources to the table, from furniture manufacturers, lighting sources, to wallpaper and fabric selections. Her team’s strong relationships with vendors helped us to get the project done beautifully, efficiently, and as cost effectively as possible. I wholeheartedly recommend Elza B Design to anyone who is contemplating a home renovation or design update project. Barbara, Dominique and Amy are creative, talented design professionals, who are all wonderful people to work with – joyful, fun, patient, and thoughtful. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them.

This was 2 hour onsite consult from her. Went better than hoped. We had a detailed phone call BEFORE the consult to go over expectations - and I sent her some photos to help her prepare. I have implemented some of her basic recommendations (at first I had thought one of her strong suggestions was not helpful but upon thinking about it - realized how right she was and how wrong I was!) I have her detailed notes on paint colors for the stairway --- I recall 5 paint colors. (Painting not yet done as it will happen after other major work is done.)

She was able to review my current set up, and give an assessment and make recommendations. I am not in a position to make major changes, and I appreciated the tailored advice.

We chose Barbara and Elza B. Design because we felt her work reflected our eclectic style. With two working parents and two kids under four, we're busy and we needed help to tackle a decorating project that covered most of the house. Barbara created a cohesive plan, sought our input, and curated the choices so that the project was manageable for us. She not only listened closely but also made her own views known, and the final results are better for it! We're very pleased with the results and wouldn't have gotten here without Barbara.

Barbara was a joy to work with. We accomplished a TON in the two hour consultation we had with her. She was very attentive to our style and ideas, even having us complete homework ahead of time so she could come as ready to help as possible. She also knew how to bring out the best in our style. We were able to walk through the entire house and discuss layout and design, color schemes, furniture ideas, and more. She pointed out what was working, and what could be improved. We also picked out several possible paint colors for the whole house. We now have confidence to move forward with house projects we were unsure about before. And everything we've implemented so far has been even more fantastic than we imagined! Worth every penny. Thank you Barbara!

It went extremely well - totally valuable advice. It took no time for me to feel she understood my dilemmas, so we went right to work. Most of the time was on selecting colors for a somewhat complicated entry. She left me with a clear sketch to show exactly where each of the 5 colors would be used. While I haven't yet tried these colors they seem to be exactly what I think I need. We had enough time for me to receive comments in another space - and I've recently come to agree completely with her very strong recommendation on drapery colors in my living room. I had thought the color in use was a great choice so I did feel a bit defensive. With such a strong opinion on her part, while I have been a bit defensive about my previous choice, I did keep thinking about it. So grateful I did. I finally tried her suggestion (white) using some fabric - and wham! turns out she is so right. I now can't wait to replace them.

"Thanks so much for this positive review, so glad you are happy with the feedback I was able to provide. I loved visiting your historical home in Charlestown and hope you enjoy the colors once they are up on the walls! Good luck with the process!"

It went great. Elza was conscientious about looking at colors during the day light and discussing how colors change with daylight vs the evening. She was also very accommodating in meeting my schedule to get the work done before the holiday.

Barbara was attentive to our tastes, our functional needs, and our budget. She was knowledgeable, professional, and a joy to work with. She worked well with our contractor and both were diligent in promptly addressing the inevitable snafus that arise in any project.
Barbara suggested designs and finishes that are stylish (recycled glass tiles installed vertically on the accent wall of the shower in the master) and timeless (painted wood vanity with shaker doors in the guest bath). We particularly appreciated her solutions for incorporating the laundry facilities into the guest bath. Thanks to Barbara, we now have beautiful and functional and add to the value of our home.

"Thanks so much for your positive review, it meant a lot to me. I very much enjoyed working on your project to help you create two bathrooms that are not only appealing but also functional.It was a complex renovation with issues like multiple snow storms delaying deliveries and work, but you both held on tight and were very patient and a pleasure to work for. Thank you for your patronage!"
