"Susan Bathon brings a thorough analytical approach to her work. Being an engineer by training, she brings an objective and scientific approach to offer design options that achieve the right balance of rigor, pragmatism, and aesthetic appeal. I worked with Susan to design the interior space of my condo in Brookline. The unit was cold, plain white, and almost industrial in appearance. Susan worked with me patiently to find the right colors for the walls, rugs for the floors, furniture, window treatments, bathroom fittings, and accessories to transform it and make it feel like a home. She assisted me in shopping trips to furniture stores, rug stores, window treatment outlets and stores that carried rightly priced accessories. She advised me on color choices which was a great learning experience for me. She also researched and offered options at online outlets to buy certain pieces of furniture. I was also able to leverage the trade discounts available to her by working with her, which notably helped reduce the cost of window treatments for my unit. I am extremely pleased with the rug she helped me pick for my living room as it has a medley of vibrant yet soft colors and designs that are amazingly pleasing to the senses and spark resilience and warmth when I enter my living room after a long work day. Susan is also extremely knowledgeable and generous in sharing many tips, tricks and solutions for fixing problems or getting around gaps that I encountered in my new place. For example, the shower in the bathroom was beautiful with marvelous tiling but lacked the necessary shelving to hold bath products. Susan gave me three distinct options with their pros and cons to address this issue and the information she summarized for me was instrumental in informing my approach to bridge this gap in a way that achieved the perfect balance of practical comfort and aesthetic appeal. This is one of many examples of how her engineering mindset coupled with sophistication in interior design work brought tangible value. Susan is amazingly organized and carefully records her work methodically using the Milanote app for collaborative work with her clients. Being a professional with an active work schedule including travels, I was particular about the days and times when I was available for design consultation meetings and shopping trips. Susan was understanding and accommodated my needs. Susan is a very resilient, self-aware and astute professional with a great sense of humor. She builds trust and listens actively to understand the needs of her clients. She regularly watched out for blind spots in my field of vision and advised me proactively to carefully re-consider certain choices I was leaning towards initially (e.g., wall colors) to ensure that I did not prematurely select something sub-optimal for my space that could have clashed with other design choices I had already made. Not being knowledgeable in the principles of interior design, I appreciated this proactive advisory approach she took to safeguard the quality of my design selections. We were open and honest about our expectations and preferences with each other and she was perfectly fine with my brutal honesty and allowed me to express my likes and dislikes throughout our work together. Iâ m grateful for the opportunity I had to work with Susan and highly recommend her services for interior design. If you hire Susan, youâ ll not just have your place designed elegantly, but will end up with an intellectually engaging experience characterized by learning and broadening of your horizons."

"Tess is wonderful and exactly what I wanted. Over the years we've collected lots of "things" - oriental rugs, artwork, travel finds, etc. And I love the outdoors, indoor plants, and lots of greenery. I've shied away from interior designers,, having heard tales of total makeovers with new everything, budget overruns and personal bias. I really wanted someone who could work with precious things I have or need, and at the same time could help me part with some things I thought I couldn't get rid of. I also needed a serious jolt of creativity and color. Tess to the rescue! She listens and has the patience of a saint. She came equipped with all kinds of samples to help me hone the "look". She was realistic about my budget, sensitive to my needs. Her talent defies description. I immediately signed on for a second project, the master bedroom. I will return to her again for more specific treatments around the house. I can't recommend her highly enough."

"Division we had for our dining room was achieved. We had cabinetry and bookshelves in our dining room that were replaced by curio cabinets, and totally repainted to match our furniture. US pro painting did a wonderful job with flawless painting, reinstallation of lower cabinets and installation of new curio glass cabinets. JR, the owner, was very cooperative, and provided photos at each step of the renovation, since we were away during that time. If we have a painting or renovation project, we will use them again."

"Excellent quality. Superb design skills."

"Akeva is an insightful organizer and talented interior designer whose work truly transforms spaces. When she redesigned our living room, it completely came to life—it felt warmer, more open, and intentionally curated. Her attention to detail, ability to balance aesthetics with function, and eye for color and space made a noticeable difference. She listens carefully to your vision and brings it to reality in a way that feels both personal and elevated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for any home project."
