"Tess has transformed my home, one room at a time, into a gorgeous (and functional) oasis. Visitors are always impressed with our home decor--a few of them now realize that Tess is the mastermind. She takes an overwhelming process and makes it manageable and fun. I love that she works with any budget and style, helps shape the vision start to finish, and allows for just the right amount of risk-taking. As a new mom myself, I especially appreciate that she can make spaces hard-working as well as beautiful. In addition to talented, she's just a lovely person to spend a morning with."

"My husband and I feel so privileged and lucky to have found Susan! We took on a total renovation (rebuild) of our home, thinking we just wanted/needed someone to bounce ideas off and to confirm our thinking. We met Susan and found her insight invaluable. Words that we use to describe Susan are innovative, thoughtful, smart, kind, respectful and funny. We knew the moment we met her that she was the right match for us. Susan fully embraced us and what we wanted our home to look like and more importantly feel like. She was adeptly able to navigate my husband and my at times differing ideas on design and decorating. She was thoughtful about who we are in the world and what is important to us. She was respectful of our time and resources, always offering to be helpful and often times helping us think about things that would be needed down the line. We enthusiastically recommend Susan!"

"As a testament to how happy we were with our first renovation provided by the Curtice Group in 2021, which provided completely new kitchen/dining/mudroom/bath, we hired Scott and his team again in 2024-25 for another major renovation. This job was composed of 3 main parts: a gut remodel of our main bathroom, renovation of a large attic space (about 700 sq ft), and whole-home conversion from steam radiators (gas) to heat pumps including removal of all radiators and a chimney. The bathroom now is attractive and more functional, the attic adds a large amount of useful space as an office/kid room/guest area, and central air makes a more comfortable climate. I’m a big fan of the design/build concept, because you really don’t want to separate those two elements into different contractors, and if you find a talented company, they can handle all aspects of the job fluidly. Scott Curtice has a real knack for design, he is attentive and cares about details, and he will perform carpentry and touch-up work as needed. Moreover, he handled all the project coordination so that we could do the jobs that we do well, which do not include home renovation."

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with CJ and we cannot recommend him enough! I had struggled with our living room for years and was never truly happy. Not only did CJ help us design and create a beautiful living room, he taught me how to be at peace with my decision-making. He is the whole package: creative, professional, patient and understanding. My husband and I have very different decorating styles and CJ was able to make us both very happy! He is a principled, kind person with tremendous integrity. Iâ m sure our Project was not one of his biggest, yet his passion and dedication made us feel like truly valued clients. Working with CJ was an absolute joy, and I feel that joy over and over every time I look at my living room!"

"Outdoor X created a landscape centered on the stone wall they designed and constructed which has become the focus of the property. The work is beautifully done with stone work and plantings and frames the area integrating the previous elements of the landscape. I highly recommend Outdoor X."

"Great, Dave stayed within our budget and our addition looks like it was part of a whole new home construction. We were really impressed with Dave Kinsella's design concepts and the workmanship was high quality even though we were on a tight budget. Dave comes from a big family so he understands money and time constraints plus he wants his projects to look as aesthetically pleasing to his clients as possible. We would definitely hire Dave again."

"Jerry worked with me to design and install front and backyard gardens with a beautiful stone patio and stone paths. His work is excellent and he knows his materials. He checked in with me along the way about decisions that needed to be made, even though that part was a bit stressful. I also appreciated his team because they were friendly and worked well together (and strong to deal with super rocky soil). We love walking the gardens several times a day and neighbors often stop to admire the beauty of the flowers and trees. We highly recommend Stonewall Pro."

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Chestnut Hill, MA

Start by defining your goals and budget. Collect photos of rooms you love, jot down must-have features, and list what isn’t working in your current space. Share these details—and your target budget—during the first meeting. The clearer you are, the quicker a designer can translate your vision into a workable plan and keep costs in check.

Yes, working with an interior designer can help you save money. Designers prevent costly missteps, secure trade discounts on furniture and finishes, and coordinate the project so you don’t pay twice for the same work. Their upfront fee often pays for itself in avoided change orders, tighter timelines, and materials purchased at below-retail pricing.

A full interior design project wraps up in two to three months, on average, while a decorating job takes four to eight weeks. Timelines stretch if you add structural changes, custom millwork, or specialty materials, and unexpected shipping or permit delays can tack on extra days. Talk with your designer about project milestones and build in a little wiggle room.

Interview at least three pros whose portfolios match your style. Review their credentials and ask for references. During a face-to-face or virtual meeting, discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, and make sure their communication style and fee structure feel comfortable. The right designer combines technical know-how with a creative approach that clicks with you.
