Testimonials

“We were so lucky to have Elyse design our home! She was able to take all of our hopes and wishes and incorporate them into a design that's absolutely beautiful. We are familiar with many of the homes that she has designed in the area and each one is a wonderful blend of function and style. She is also very knowledgeable about the building process and how to make budget friendly decisions. The process was very fun and not at all stressful - she was great to work with.

Highly recommend!”

Erin P.

“The project we were undertaking was a complete tear down and rebuild of a water front property. To say the least, this comes with a number of restrictive challenges, not only from waterfront rules and inspections but the new build needed to maintain some old “cottage” look and feel - together with cost VS value these represent a difficult balancing act of key challenges. Elyse’s greatest asset is her ability and willingness to listen AND comprehend how to integrate all of the key design parameters together into a complete design solution was astounding. Once the design was complete we relied on Elyse for supplier and contractor contacts in the industry, along with questions about the design itself. Her responsiveness is always always same day - often same hour and of very high quality. We met with a number of designs prior to selecting Elyse and are super happy we did - definitely a 6 star recommendation from us."
