Our project involved recreating an antique stencil both inside and outside copied from a small faded strip of it outside; two rooms where everything, doors and inner trim on the doors, picture rail, windows, etc., was a different color, and the colors were intense and wouldn't overlap well; ceiling medallions were painted and installed, and they kept every line and detail clean and sharp. Their attitude was one of proper coverage for each color, not how many coats, and the finished projects are beautiful. Matt, the contractor we worked with from Rider Painting, traced and recreated the stencils exactly, he also went through a number of experiments to find the right color and technique for creating a faux gold leaf treatment on the picture frame molding on the walls in another room. The crews always arrived on time and even skipped a day off to keep us on schedule to be ready by the end of the year. Work areas were kept neat, and the house remained clean during the work. There were a ton of details to keep track of, and Matt and his site foreman were quick to ask questions, answer them, and stayed on hand to keep the project moving. We had a great experience working with Rider Painting, and Matt, we will definitely hire them for future projects and recommend them highly without any hesitation.
I worked with Chelsea last year on a complete redesign of our master bathroom. I had been thinking about a renovation for several years and although I had previously designed all the rooms in my home myself, and have a strong personal style, I sensed that I needed professional expertise. I was looking for someone who could maintain a look that is consistent with my traditional home while bringing a fresh creativity that was original, elegant and inviting. Both the experience of working with Chelsea and the finished master bath have far exceeded my expectations.
Chelsea was a pleasure to work with. Her warmth, intelligence and energetic personality were easy and inspiring. She has a gifted eye for design and knows just how to make a room come alive. She?s clear about her ideas but is a very fine, intuitive listener. She took my somewhat vague ideas and transformed them into an exquisite and highly functional bathroom.
I knew I wanted to use a pair of beautiful antique sconces from my late mother?s bathroom. Chelsea took that desire and created a subtle theme honoring my mother?s life of grace and beauty. She encouraged me to use some of my mother?s glass and silver pieces on the bathroom shelves along with a tiny framed photo of her. These small gestures acknowledging my mothers memory are meaningful to me every time I enter the room.
I know this will sound like hyperbole, but it?s true, the bathroom is perfect - there isn?t a single thing I would change.

"We aimed to redesign/repurpose the interior space for a small outbuilding on our property and stumbled upon BEAR Architects after a quick google search. Being a new business, they didn't have much in terms of reviews, however, they were very responsive so we went with our gut and gave them a chance. Thankfully our gut feeling steered us in the right direction. Beth and Andrew are incredible to deal with. We found them to be very composed, yet focused and aggressive in moving our project along. They paid close attention to the objectives we communicated. They listened to our ideas and steered us properly when their knowledge and expertise was required. They were efficient and completed our project within the scope of the timeline laid out in their proposal. Lastly, they were respectful of our budget and ensured that we received everything we needed for the amount we had earmarked for architectural work. In fact, we were provided with additional site plans that were not initially within the scope of the project. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to use BEAR Architects. We will certainly work with them again!"

"We loved working with Holly and the team at SixThirty so much that we hugely increased the scope of our work. First we just wanted a bathroom and a kitchen updated but we loved the plans and the possibility they brought to our space so much that we got designs for every space. Any renovation becomes a drag, but working with Holly and the team was very satisfying and filled us with ideas for our new space. She and her colleagues, especially Michael and Amy, were great, even though we had a million questions and wanted to know "why" for every decision. I can't recommend this service enough, especially for the ability to try out design in a small space and then get addicted and want to do more!"

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts
DIY is possible with essential tools and online resources. Professional designers ensure optimal functionality and aesthetics.
Neoclassical architecture is all about simplicity and balance without losing the drama of its style. White, gray, cream, and other soft pastels are common. Many homeowners choose a deep natural hue for a pop of color, such as jewel tones or black accents. Modern neoclassical architecture also incorporates brick facades, bringing red into the color scheme.
Hiring a professional decorator for the holidays—especially when hanging your holiday lights—has countless benefits. Professionals know how to safely secure lights, can save you money on decor, and above all, make your home look stylish and chic.
With a little ingenuity, an old fireplace insert can be transformed into a decorative centerpiece that infuses new life into any room. Consider placing LED lights or candles inside to create a captivating display that simulates the warm glow of a fire. Another option is to repurpose the insert as a charming bookshelf by adding rustic shelves within the firebox. For plant lovers, converting the fireplace insert into an indoor garden is a perfect way to bring nature indoors. You can also transform it into a stylish wine rack.
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.
