"Designer: Sharon Fielhauser met with my wife and went over the ins and outs of her ideal dream closet system. My wife met with her after researching two other options. Ikea Closet System and Container Store Closet system. Hence this review we went with Closets byDesign. Yes they are a little more but everything is custom designed for and your needs and installation is added in the cost. There is nothing wrong with the other companies but Closets byDesign one our business. The wait time I think was 6 weeks or so from design to installation. Installer/Builder: Izac showed up what I would have called lunch time but he called work time. (around 11:00 AM on a week day) Izac never stopped for the three hours at all walking in and out of the house as he had to cut and fabricate outside and install inside our primary. We offered him lunch and he said he was good. But he worked really hard and deserved a break. Izac was a one man team and went over every detail with my wife he had any concerns. For example he offer to have a set of drawers even with the wall or line up with the window. Izac made little to no mess and as indicatied in CBD policy all i had to do as a home owner was fix the holes in the wall from the previous closet and paint if we so wished. but honestly most of the holes was coved by the new system. We have discussed hiring Closets byDesign for other works and would recommend you do the same."

Super Service Award winning company on Angi with over 50yrs of combined professional experience, The Carpet Guys are the flooring and carpet experts of southeast Michigan, servicing all of Metro Detroit, including Oakland, Wayne, and Macomb counties, respectively. As well as the Greater Chicagoland area and Toledo, Ohio. The Carpet Guys are also the proud recipients of the Better Business Bureaus (BBB) Torch Award for ethics in 2020 and 2023.

"The sales representative we worked with, Brian E., was a pleasure to work with and, without hesitation, we want to work with Brian E. again when we need new carpet for a different space. We didn't feel rushed or pressured to make a decision during our appointment. We had actually planned NOT to purchase carpet during our initial appointment with Brian E. and had planned to look at our options, think about it for a few days, and then make a decision and call back to purchase carpet. However, Brian E. answered our many, many questions, we found the perfect carpet for our space, Brian E. was able to arrange delivery within the time frame that we needed, and we changed our plan on the spot and purchased carpet by the end of our meeting. Sergio and his team installed our new carpet. They were fast, polite, professional, and fun. (We didn't know how they would get the carpet down our stairs that make a 90-degree turn but they made it happen without scuffing the walls!) We also wanted to use a pewter-colored gripper strip where the carpet transitioned to concrete floor under closet doors instead of the silver or gold options offered by The Carpet Guys and they were able to accommodate our request and use and install the pewter strips that we had purchased. We eventually plan to replace more carpet and when we do, we will be reaching out to work with Brian E. at The Carpet Guys and we will be requesting installation by Sergio and his team. Our sales and installation experience with The Carpet Guys, Brian E., Sergio, and Sergio's two hardworking installers all exceeded our expectations!! Highly recommend."

Hey, I'm Lance! I became a professional online portrait artist in 2006 after my family was taken from me in a tornado losing my mother, father, brother, and son. Twenty-eight lives were taken as well as all their possessions, like mine. I drew from destroyed photos their families so they could have memorial portraits of them at the funerals and for the rest of time. Since then I have made a living traveling the country doing shows and drawing from photos you email me on line. There is NO GIFT more unique that brings more tears of joy to a loved one's eyes like one of these. Nothing. I've seen it time and time again. I make it affordable to anyone who's ever wanted one of these. Paintings with half the detail of these can cost upwards of $30,000 limiting something like this from hanging in living rooms for families to the rich only. Not anymore. Here's how it works.. Simply email me your favorite picture or pictures to [email protected] with a brief description of what you would like done. The bigger and clearer the picture the better the drawing. I will start an initial sketch right away and take pictures of it and show it to you. Please email them quickly if possible, because the holidays are coming and I get busy. Once the initial sketch is done. I usually take something down on it. It's a lot of work doing the initial sketch. This varies on the cost of the drawing which we will discuss right away. Drawings are usually 175 for 9x12's 225 for 11x14's 275 for 14x17's After this process is done I continue with your art piece sending you photos on line all the way through which many people find a lot of fun. I am also friends on Facebook with almost every person I've ever drawn for as well and would like to be your friend as well if you would like that. I post them on FB at your discretion. It makes me way more legit to people as well. The Prices vary with the art because of the size of the drawing as well as the number of faces. The number of faces DOES NOT double the cost. Usually an extra face is added depending on the size from anywhere between 25 and 50, but I do deals on these more than anything, so please call me about it at .(850) 691-3976

We are a family owned business serving the metro Detroit area for over 20 years. Danny Vanderlip started as a young man trying to make a living by upholstering furniture in Papa Vanderlip’s garage. At 20 years of age, Dan was especially young as upholsterers go. He had to ensure his work was exceptional in order to earn the trust of his customers, the respect of his peers and begin to build a good foundation for a business. As the reputation of Dan’s excellent craftsmanship spread, more and more people were making the decision to bring their fine furniture to him. In response to the high demand, Dan together with his wife, Linda, opened up their first shop in Detroit. Afterwards, the Vanderlips moved to their well-known location on Whittier, and bought out their largest competitor, A & C Upholstery. One move later, Vanderlip Upholstery is now located on Harper in St. Clair Shores where they have been since 1997. We welcome you to come visit our showroom at this location where you will find an unparalleled selection of designer fabrics and a friendly and knowledgeable staff ready to discuss your upholstery needs. We invite you to experience the beauty, comfort and performance your furniture has to offer you when it has been reupholstered by the skilled hands at Vanderlip Upholstery.

"This is the company to call for top-quality painting services! The owner responded very quickly to out request for a quote and emailed us an extremely comprehensive packet of reference materials with our quote. His crew power-washed our home, replaced numerous rotten rough-sawn trim boards, scraped, primed and caulked our wood siding and trim, and painted all our siding and trim, our soffits and gutters, our garage doors and four entry doors. The prep work was extremely thorough, and only top quality fasteners, paint and caulk were used. The company's hard-working crew members were friendly, punctual, responsive, neat and efficient. Communication was excellent throughout the process, and the owner and/or his son were on hand several times a day to provide supervision, check on the work and answer our questions. No down payment was required. We paid for the paint and completed carpentry work the day the painting started, and the balance when the work was completed to our satisfaction. We're very happy we hired Imperial Painting and will definitely use them again in the future!"

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

To help the designer understand your vision, provide room dimensions, photos, and a list of needs or preferences.

While finding a local interior designer whose portfolio you like and whose fees match your budget is important, they should always have appropriate qualifications. Some states require interior designers to be licensed, and most will have a degree in interior design and certification through the National Council for Interior Design Qualifications (NCIDQ). You can also consult our directory of interior designers to get started.

Part of the beauty of academia decor is that most textures and materials will feel right at home, provided they’re dark. Some common textures include natural wood, dark metals like iron, velvet, and leather. Incorporating these into your dark academia decor will make them look right at home. Glass is another option in some cases, so fill in gaps in your decor with small glass jars, or really lean on the gothic roots of dark academia with stained glass.

You should always hang the lights before the ornaments because hanging lights on top of ornaments can cause some to fall off. If a light sits directly on top of an ornament, it can cause it to heat up and possibly change its color or cause it to crack. 

The cost to have your house decorated for Christmas depends on the extent of your holiday vision. Interior decorators charge between $50 and $150 per hour on average, so if your decorations are minimal, you could pay as little as $200 for a couple of hours of decorating. Interior decorators might also bill $5 to $12 per square foot, or a flat rate of $500 to $1,300 per room. You can also pay to have your Christmas tree professionally decorated for an average of $200 to $600. Contact a local interior decorator for a specific quote.
