"Tess is delightful to work with, she brings a fresh perspective to the spaces she’s designing, and she offers stunning designs to ensure your space is not only beautiful but also functional. I initially hired Tess to help me redesign only one room, my dining room, since I had never worked with a designer before and wasn’t sure what to expect. Once we nailed down my style, Tess put together an absolutely gorgeous design, helping me choose furniture that was expressed who I am in a way I didn’t know furniture could. After my dining room, I hired Tess to redesign three additional rooms. The process for the additional rooms went very smoothly because Tess really understood what I was looking for and was able to present me with ideas I loved immediately. Tess genuinely listens to what you want and need, she’s there to support you throughout the whole process, and she’s just really fun to work with. I highly recommend hiring Tess for your redesign needs!"

"Our existing bathroom was a half bathroom with sink vanity, toilet, washer and dryer. We needed to eliminate laundry equipment and add shower and closet in the space that was designated for a washer and dryer, and add outside venting. We also wanted to tile the whole bathroom up to the ceiling. The job was performed excellent and we are very happy with the choices we made. Bill Perry and his crew were working in our house before renovating basement and building rooms there, so we knew that they were the best company for us. They were great giving us advice to improve on things that we wanted done, so they look and work better with a given space. We are very happy again. Thank you Perry Brothers!"

"We wanted a design and build firm to make design/cost tradeoffs. It went great as the project was done well, under budget, and quicker than expected. They act as a general contractor and you can be as little or as much as involved as you want. For things we had strong opinions on we met with the subs also. We've been in the space 6+ months and haven't had any problems. Our basement has been dry (they installed a perimeter drain)."

"Well, to start, the yard was a mess, with broken branches on bushes as well as branches lying all over.  They did a great job of cleaning everything up and taking out any weeds.  Then they redid the mulch areas and put stone around the air conditioning unit.
As a result the yard looks pristine again, as it always does when Ronaldo's crew leaves the property.  Every group that works for Ronaldo are friendly and aim to please and you never have to go out to check their work as you know everything will be just as you wanted it. 
Ronaldo himself is very warm and helpful and does everything in his power to accommodate whatever you need.  He  treats all his customers like they were family and always somehow its you into his busy schedule.  He is also easily accessible and returns phone calls or emails within 24 hours which is extremely rare in the landscaping profession. 
I highly recommend Ronaldo's Landscaping."

"Helene Parenteau is to us, in a word, a miracle. We have known Helene for over 5 years. During this time she has completed numerous projects for us. Like most people, we had too much stuff, some of which we had not looked at for a very long time. We found Helene through a personal contact. Since then we have come to know and love her because she is not only a superb organizer, but an extremely thoughtful, kind, gentle and intelligent person. She has done everything for us from sorting and categorizing financial papers for taxes, designing and constructing shelving units for storage, advising us on the most practical use of space, and helping us to sort through and get rid of unneeded boxes which in the past we had moved from place to place unopened. She has helped us with projects large and small, from reorganizing a linen and bath supplies closet to fully taking charge of every aspect of our move, including measuring, planning, working with and supervising movers, and ultimately creating our new home with virtually everything in the right places. One of the reasons she is able to do this so well is that she knows us, our quirks, preferences, and habits. She seems to know before we do what is going to work and what isn't. We have only rarely decided against her recommendations. Another reason is that she cares deeply about us and knows what we need to keep going and finish a hard job. She knows how to provide just the right kind of encouragement - indeed she has inispired us to do what we thought was impossible. She is the hardest working person I have ever witnessed and has stamina and strength beyond any reasonable expectations. Helene is ingenious in figuring out how to make a space not just functional but convenient to use. I would way that there is NO organization problem, move or downsizing project she cannot handle. She approaches all issues thoughtfully, logically, sensitively, and with great efficiency. What's more, Helene listens. Her ability to understand all the many complications and difficulties people experience with handling, moving, and even getting rid of their stuff is phenomenal, especially if the job involves multiple family members. If you are fortunate enough to meet Helene and avail yourself of her professionalism, devotion to her clients, ultimate integrity, personal warmth, wisdom and sense of humor, you will understand how this professional organizer can not only transform your spaces but transform and enrich your life. We count it a deep blessing to have Helene in our lives and cannot imagine how we could ever have come as far as we have in making our home and work areas a joy to live and work in. Helene is unmatchable in her talents and worth her weight in platinum. We cannot recommend her more highly.

"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!"

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Waltham, 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.
