"They designed a kitchen and dining room. They took out a wall to expand the area. Denise does the designing, and Joe does the work. I would definitely recommend them based on their work. They are both excellent. It's been a little over six months since the project, and I am very happy with the results. Excellent price, and an overall wonderful experience. I still get compliments on their work. They really tailored my home to exactly what I needed, and more than I could have expected."

"It was lovely working with them. The moment they walked into the room, they just knew how to design & turn the place around. It made my husband very happy & in a constant brag mood after the transformation of his new office. They knew what will fit his personality and it was spot on."

"We had our entire bathroom entirely demolished all the way down to the support beams and fully rebuilt (the house is old and needed a lot of repairs). The entire team was absolutely amazing from designing and planning (Junior), to the project getting done (Kadir was our PM, Tony and Paul were our electricians, and all the other guys who came in to do the tilework and plumbing - I am sorry I do not know their names but they were also awesome). This bathroom required an enormous amount of work and it came out absolutely beautiful. The whole team takes a lot of pride in their work and they truly desire that their customers are happy and expectations are exceeded with their work. I am already planning more projects with them, their work is not limited to bathroom and kitchen remodels, and I look forward to working with them again. The quality of their work is guaranteed and their prices are super reasonable (big plus)."

"I have been extremely pleased with the design services offered by Barbara Meyer of The B Design Group. Barbara has helped me select area carpets for five bedrooms, the upstairs hall, stairs, foyer, and office. The rugs look fabulous and the rug colors are so well coordinated from room to room. In addition, Barbara has provided expert advice on paint colors, furniture placement, and accessories. She is very talented in updating the look of your home and in using what you already own in the design plan. I also wish to point out that Barbara is always mindful of your budget when making suggestions. I have been so pleased with Barbara�s design ability that I have now hired her to help me update my living room and family room. Last, but not least, Barbara is a delight to work with. She has a very warm personality, and she is a lot of fun. I highly recommend her for all design services."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

While the terms 'interior designer' and 'interior decorator' are often used interchangeably, they represent distinct professions with some overlapping work. The primary difference lies in the scope of their projects.

An interior decorator focuses on the aesthetics of a space, making less permanent decisions about decor. Their work involves selecting colors, fabrics, furniture, wall art, paint, and other finishes to 'dress' a room and enhance its style.

An interior designer has a broader scope that includes a decorator's aesthetic focus but also extends to the structural and functional aspects of a space. Designers are qualified to plan layouts, make structural changes, and manage overall functionality. They handle permanent decisions regarding fixtures like cabinets and bathtubs, establish floor plans, and may hire contractors.

Due to the technical skills required, interior designers typically have formal education, certification, and may hold a license, which can result in higher fees. As a general rule, it is best to hire an interior designer for major remodeling projects and an interior decorator for projects focused on establishing or refreshing a home's interior style.

How long it takes a kitchen designer to complete their work ranges greatly, from just a few hours, to a couple of weeks. Their timeline depends on how complex the design is and the scope of your kitchen remodel. Some remodels are aesthetic and can be as simple as adding new countertops or different cabinets. Those designs will take less time than, for instance, a full gut of your kitchen with a whole new layout and all new appliances.

Depending on project size, materials, and complexity, design fees range from $2,000 to $15,000.

Craftsman houses’ sustained popularity is likely due to their timelessly beautiful design and simplicity. To this day, they hold true to the power of hard work and refined craftsmanship and how that’s all you need to create a beautiful home.

Many people, including professionals in the field, use baluster and spindle interchangeably to describe the vertical components of a railing (or technically, a balustrade). However, there are subtle or distinct differences, depending on who you ask. The most common interpretation is that spindles are thin or delicate versions of balusters.
