"Angelo Pecoraro, the owner of A.P. Builder, was a pleasure to work with from start to finish on our major remodeling project of adding a sunroom to our home. Out of many contractors I called to get an estimate, he was the only one willing to provide options to have the project fit our budget. Once we agreed to move forward, he worked diligently with the architect and village to get the permits finalized (which is a difficult task in my town). Once the work started, he provided almost daily updates of the work that will be completed and any anticipated inspections (which we passed easily). He also reached out himself to finalize details from big items like windows to small ones like the molding. The result was a beautiful sunroom and deck which I receive compliments on regularly. Do yourself a favor and for your next major home remodel/renovation work with Angelo and A.P. Builder!"

"Forouzan has gone above and beyond expectations, working with our ideas and goals under the somewhat challenging conditions of Spring 2022, helping us make time-sensitive decisions on materials so we could move forward with multiple, interdependent renovation projects: The kitchen, downstairs powder room and laundry room have pulled together very nicely with the materials and colors she helped us select. We have a direction for an overall color scheme, window treatments, fixtures... And I am especially looking forward to setting up a delightful piano room. Here's the background: My partner and I bought a house that was not move-in ready, but had great potential. Tackling both the structural and decorative goals of an empty house at once felt overwhelming from the start. Shortly after the old flooring was removed, I knew we needed additional design help. We also needed to combine furnishings from two separate households. Much of this was in storage while we stayed in a smaller Chicago condo during the house renovations. With Forouzan's initial consultation, she helped us visualize the broad strokes of a "future state" and find a direction towards a cohesive look and feel. In all of our follow up conversations, she has answered questions to design dilemmas we encountered along the way, and provided much needed advice and recommendations for materials, fixtures, and potential colors that would work with both existing furnishings and new. This allowed us to ultimately select materials we love, including: countertops, kitchen cabinet finish and hardware; lighting, bathroom floor tile and accessories, and laundry room floor tile. The "before" and "after" photos will be quite fun!"

"I am so happy that I found Lori. My previous designer was good but her choices have not stood the test of time. I like things simple and very clean, but not boring so I hired Lori to refresh the space with new smaller pieces (eg drink tables, lamps) and colors (artwork, pillows etc). She listened to be carefully and knew how to take the basics and turn them into something elevated. I love coming home now to my new rooms and entertaining guests. I am eager and excited for her to get started on the TV room!"

"Bathroom remodels - I was really excited about her design choices, fit the style of my home. It was an updated look. It fits us as a family. It is very stylish, I get a lot of compliments on my home."
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.
