What our clients are saying

“Working with Heidi and her team is to see professionalism at work at every step. Heidi unquestionably has an excellent eye for design and her selections are novel and contemporary, yet still traditional and classic to carry your home through many years and all seasons. More than the design prowess, though, it is her attention to detail with clear schedules and billing that make her firm a pleasure to work with. Their communication is prompt and direct; commitments are met; installation is overseen with a keen a discerning eye. We have used Heidi’s team for several projects, both exterior and interiors and--consistently--the projects have been completed beautifully, on time, and within the budget expectations. We recently had a project with a very short time window to meet a family party deadline and Heidi and her team quickly sourced available items so the furniture would be ready before the event. She met all the tight deadlines and designed a lovely outdoor space to entertain. The best recommendation I can give Heidi and her team is that we will exclusively and continually use them on all design projects.” - Melissa , Portland, OR

“I could not be happier with my experience working with Heidi.  We were searching for an interior designer with European sensibilities and Heidi proceeded her reputation.  She honored our home’s architectural features and Old world style while giving the spaces a design that was also fresh and suitable for a young family.  Her recommendations were perfectly in line with our goals and budget. Her design was delivered beautifully and thoughtfully.  Heidi has an uncommon combination of experience, ingenuity, talent and humility.   We are so excited to have Heidi on board with us for the long haul while she helps us create our dream home.  We are thrilled to have her as our designer.” - Kate on Consultations, Portland, OR

“We are finally remodeling our master bathroom, and we reached out to Heidi for a consultation to get us headed in the right direction. She exceeded our expectations for the two-hour consultation. Heidi is very pleasant and easy going, as well as very creative and talented. After many sketches and drawings of possible solutions to our tricky bathroom layout, Heidi came up with a brilliant idea for our space. She left us with the drawings, important details, and many resources and ideas to explore. Thank you, Heidi!” Kim on Consultations, Portland, OR

I had been searching for an interior designer with a similar aesthetic to mine who could help me achieve the elegant but cozy feel I wanted throughout my home. We both love fabrics and flowers and seagrass, and love rooms that look comfortable and inviting, and Heidi helped me achieve that. She is highly organized and detail oriented when creating a plan for a room (which is helpful, because I’m not), and worked together to design my living, dining and family rooms, as well as my kitchen and nook, my den and most recently, the exterior of my home.

Heidi really listens and comes up with clever solutions. She’s also super fun to work with; always happy and enthusiastic, she has unique ideas and the vision to implement them. You can trust that you’re in good hands with Heidi!” – Susie, Portland, OR

“We have been working with Heidi for fifteen years. She is a knowledgeable professional who is timely and reliable. The most important thing to know about Heidi is that she is a great listener. It’s about what you want, your vision, and what’s important to you - her guidance and taste is always on the mark. Heidi is consistently upbeat and positive and makes projects fun and exciting. We have been thrilled with everything she has done for us and our beautiful home. She is a true gem!” – Bruce and Monica, Salt Lake City, UT

“I love working with Heidi and knew the moment she arrived at my house I had chosen the right person. I was familiar with her style and knew it was similar to mine. She did a complete walk through of our house, writing notes, taking pictures etc. Shortly afterwards she sent a list of her ideas and suggestions. She has a great vision, an eye for style, and knows what she is doing. We are slowly working down the list with her wonderful eye for color and patterns. My home is more beautiful than ever, and yet it feels like my style … you will not be disappointed if you work with Heidi!” – Liz & Tom, Portland, OR

“We appreciate Heidi’s ability to listen to our needs. She guided us to create a beautiful, timeless style in our home. She is also excellent at helping us figure out where to put our money to have the most impact. Her work on our home with everything from a remodel to adding a few furniture pieces has always been punctuated by her positive energy and enthusiasm. We love the results and the experience of working with her!” – Steve and Mari, Portland, OR
