Vicki Dye At Home

We purchased a new home which was in excellent condition but seriously dated. We wanted to redecorate and do some structural changes before we moved in. We pulled up the old carpet and replaced it with lovely maple hardwood floors. We had the popcorn ceilings removed, we repainted the walls, had new baseboards installed to achieve consistency, selected light fixtures, purchase new furniture, and made a number of other minor but important changes to hinges, doorknobs, and that sort of thing in order to achieve a coordinated and finished look. Vicki offered us a variety of services at a reasonable price: she offered design advice on colors and finishes, she went to the store with us to look at furniture and rugs, she did research to help us find special fixtures, and finally, we asked her to take on the project management so all this could be coordinated with minimum hassle for us. She does an outstanding job of project management. She also has excellent connections to skilled specialists who are really a joy to work with. She put us in contact with her flooring guy, two different carpenters , a painter, a window treatment specialist, and others. These craftspeople were all professional, responsive, and did excellent work. Everybody who comes into our home comments on how lovely it looks. We tried working with several other designers before we met Vicki. It is not easy to find someone who is capable and pleasant to work with. When we met Vicki, we discovered she has good ideas but is flexible. She is responsive and affordable. And she's fun to work with! We initially started with Vicki on the basic work. But we enjoyed working with her so much that we expanded the project and continued to work with her on a number of things. We recommend Vicki enthusiastically for design, research, and project management.

great, good ideas. very professional.

Very well. She knows her stuff

Vicki was great!

She just knew what to look for and gave me her ideas, it was something that I liked and she was easy to get along with. She was very nice and I would use her again.

It went well. Vicki gave me advice on colors and placement of furniture

Vicky met with my wife, not me. She(Vicky) had great ideas on how to fix the home depending on the theme we had in mind and options- depending on how much we were prepared to spend.

Excellent, she spent time explaining things , why she made the different choices she made

Vicki was very helpful and professional.

Vicki worked diligently from start to finish for our project. She helped us with color selection and design. We then chose to use her as our general contractor, and she brought in her painter, plumber, electrician, and others to design and install our new fireplace area and kitchen. We also had wood floors installed and refinished. Each of her contractors were knowledgeable, polite, and reliable. Yes, we ran into a few problems. All projects of this size run into a few problems. But Vicki assisted us each step of the way and guided us through to a finished product which we love and which stayed on budget. I would highly recommend Vicki to anyone wanting assistance with a design or a remodeling project.

It went great!  She gave me great suggestions including paint color and fabric samples.  Offered to help with whatever I needed but did not make me feel obligated to use her or her any of her contacts to complete the work.  Was flexible with my timeframe.

Our remodel was an amazing experience.  It lasted about 4 weeks from demo to completed work and the focus was the kitchen where we knew we wanted to update the 20 year-old design, but after we decided to replace the oak floors with maple, we ended up freshening up most of the main floor.  With Vicki's help, we had great talented craftsmen contribute to the project.  Vicki's commitment and engagement with us throughout the project was just what we needed.  Since this was the first remodel we had ever done, we needed someone who had the design talent, the connection to materials and the network of resource pros who could work on our home.  Vicki brought all of this to the table, and more.  

• Design Talent--Vicki is a designer who is current with trends and colors, but visited with us to get a feel for our home and our needs before she recommended what to change.  Her insights were helpful both for what we wanted now, but also for what would contribute to our home's resale value in the future.  I was impressed with how connected we were to Vicki throughout and how connected she remained with the pros who were working on our home.
• Connection to materials--as a professional designer, Vicki had the connection to the wholesale suppliers of tile, counters, flooring, cabinets, etc. that we needed for our remodel.  She provided samples that we could have or borrow to use as we made our choices and pulled the design together.  She met us at the resource location when it was convenient for us and helped decide on the wood, counter and tile.  
• Network of resource professionals--as good as Vicki was, the team she surrounded us with for the work was also impressive. The pros were not only prompt, talented and good partners, they were accountable and responsive to our questions and to any things we changed as we got further into the work.  Vicki stayed in close contact with these partners who were also really good people as well.
• We are thrilled with the outcome of our remodel and could not have done it without Vicki's expertise, connections and partnership throughout!  

Vicki is a positive and upbeat creative professional. She injected great ideas and energy into my home improvement projects. Vicki addressed all of my questions and left me with written recommendations. These recommendations included specific paint colors with samples, counter top material choices, direction for tile back splash design and materials, window blinds, and light fixtures. We also discussed furniture arrangement and directions for art and textile accents. I really appreciated her thoughtful guidance.

Vicki was very helpful and gave me several great suggestions for low cost-high return upgrades for my home. She provided me with her written comments and also suggested a couple of companies to help with services.

Vickie was great.  We just moved into a new house and just needed an extra set of eyes to help us move forward with getting things settled.  She helped me pick out colors and gave lots of great ideas of how to move forward with our DIY renovations.  She told me things to do to update, without breaking the bank.  Thanks Vicki!
