We had a specific feeling we wanted our home to evoke, and Helaine understood and translated that into a beautiful design. Her intuition and attention to detail has made our space feel like a reflection of us. Helaine's exceptional problem-solving skills were evident throughout the process.

“Working with Helaine is a pleasure. She is not only an expert in her field but she is friendly, understanding, and responsive as well. She abides by your budget and your timing and does a great job, whether it is a large project or a small one. She has been immensely helpful in pulling together our house in California with the items we currently have and filling in the gaps with new ones. She has consulted on everything from paint color and tiles to furniture, draperies, and lighting. She also stepped in to help with our kitchen renovation when we were stuck with design decisions and saved the day!
Helaine works well with builders, architects, and others involved in a project. She is a great person to have on the ground when you are doing projects long distances like we did. I worked with designers in the past in other states we lived, but I have never had such a good experience as I have had with Helaine. She is knowledgeable and approachable and gets the job done to perfection!”

“Helaine did a wonderful job of transforming our empty new house into a great home! Specific things she helped with:
1. Material and finish selections such as floors, cabinets, and countertops
2. Used the finish pallet to choose furnishings and decorations
3. Provided turn-key ordering and delivery of all furnishings, decorations, and lighting
4. Followed up on any products that needed rework or replacement
We would recommend Helaine for any project big or small.”

"The transformation of the living room of my 1915-era home is nothing short of amazing. Helaine helped me with two projects, a redo of my living room and enhancement of the entry to my home office. Her unerring eye and ability to find the right sources and best prices were incredibly helpful.
Helaine instantly understood the look I wanted and helped me choose the right pieces and window coverings for the large bay window. Her follow-through is incredible, as well - she continues to recommend pieces to fill in. Her research skills are top-notch. She is my guru in all things design. She has impeccable taste and an eye for the timeless piece. Highly recommended."

She was easy to work with, respected my budget, and understood my particular needs. Her suggestions were right on point. She stayed on top of the project the entire time. I get many compliments on my office."
